What is the player cap?

Low enough to manage, high enough for a respectable mix of new players and returning players!

how much effort is needed for the pera game

Probably more than 15 minutes a day.

Real talk - with the player cap this year (which is not fun to implement BUT absolutely necessary so that the storytellers don't completely flame out) managing signups is gonna be tough, so we are hoping that people will self select out if this game is not the right fit for them.

During the intervening month before Everdunes begins proper, I will be running a fairly standard open setup mafia game for 13 players called “Campfire Mafia.”

:siren: Please only sign up for this game if you are going to be playing in Everdunes, and only if you intend to see the game through to the end. :siren:

We should be able to get that info out this weekend - or we will let you know if that changes for some reason!

Toal, I was rebuffed at becoming you. I am sorry that I failed you but will roleplay as you in your honor.

Don't do this. Please only sign up if you want to play the game on your own merits.

Minor clarification that is relevant to the usage of #general:

Everyone received new Sa communicators from their guilds during the guild meeting that kicked off this game, which is what unlocked this #general channel for use. This was inadvertently omitted from the opening narration, apologies!


((You are encouraged to not think too hard about the communicators - as in previous peraMyst games, they are largely a narrative nod to allow for communication to work the way it does.))

Don't post OOC in here as a non-player, please.

Ah-CHOO! I hate these things. Traders, listen up - Azure asked me to chime in and confirm the deal with the blues is legit. Congrats, it is - once someone gets their butt over to the Senate to finalize things and once the proper water purification infrastructure's in place at the Oasis. Once both of those things are done, the wheels of commerce can start turning and all that good stuff.

'kay, that's it. Putting this thing away again. Later.

Two young girls' voices can be heard over the communicator.

Ella, what are you doing? That's *sniffle* that's Mommy's, don't play with that.

Casey, where's Mommy? Why won't they let me see Mommy?

Mommy's... Mommy's real busy with work right now, Ella. She'll - she'll be back soon, I promise.

*crying* I wanna see Mommy!

...Ella, don't cry. Just, just gimme that and I'll read you a bedtime story. *sniffle* I-it'll be okay.

Got my hand on the freedom plough
It's all for nothing if we fail now
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

Freedom's name is mighty sweet
Some day soon we're gonna meet
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

The road is tough and the road is long
If we walk together we can walk it strong
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

The only thing that we've done right
Was the day we began to fight
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on

Asiina posted:

I feel like I should say something, a time to make a big speech, or probably just ramble incoherently. When I left my home a year ago, it was to find something greater than what I thought was a shallow life of empty fame. I wanted to be someone, to honour my mother's memory, to be...a hero. At times I succeeded, often I failed, but I always wanted to be someone that others could rely on, that could carry a burden for them, that could be...a leader. But there's a dark side to that too, when things don't go your way, when people don't want to listen...when wanting to be a leader to help turns into wanting respect...to feeling like you're owed something. It left me feeling alone and resentful and desperate and in that desperation I did some really stupid and impulsive things.

But I was lucky, and on the other side of them, I learned that I wasn't ever as alone as I thought I was and that even though I'm loud and obnoxious and stubborn and will fight about literally anything at any time...there are still people who will be there through it all. People I've had to trust with my life more than once. People who have earned that trust a thousand times over. Still, it's hard to let go of that dream, even if it's a lonely one. It's the one I've had my entire life, and what I thought made me who I am, but I think I'd like to be more than that.

I don't want to just help others, I want to trust them to help me. The Lyceum is a great burden, and one no person should be arrogant enough to think they could handle alone. I trust you all to share this burden with you.

##ExplorersGuild



It's time to go home, at last - and instead of reviving a past that lies dead and gone, we have the opportunity to build a new future. Together.

Thank you all, for everything.
