missrecalled_ooc | A Nightmare Or A Dream OOC Info

Welcome all Missrecalled and Misery-called!

First of all, apologies for how late the event is falling out. This has been the work of months, so hopefully you all enjoy!

Now, how this event is going to work is a little different than any event so far, so please read this post carefully.

The event has three main parts - The Resting Places, The Maze, and The Puzzle Rooms. While the characters will spend most of their time in the maze, most RP will happen in the Resting Places and The Puzzle Rooms.

The Resting Places are the opt out areas - Power nerf is in play in those areas, but characters have their choice of their own bodies or their maze forms. Each Resting Place has an exit out into the maze. They each also have a static Transport Stone which can take characters to a random other Resting Place. Each area is built to need two people for every activity, even just sitting down in some cases. These are calm relaxation areas that encourage being social over anything else. Though memories of the Puzzle Rooms are foggy to the point of uselessness in this space.

The Maze - This is a long twisting area. In this area, as in the Puzzle Rooms, the full effects of the event are in play. Every character, including companion characters, is in a fully human body with no powers and no extra appendages. This includes ghosts, charas, familiars, wandering trees, and kwamis. (Those characters are all welcome in the Resting Places in their Maze forms or their usual bodies as well!). The Maze constantly separates characters from each other, sending them into Resting Spaces, Puzzle Rooms, and just down random foggy areas.

The Puzzle Rooms - In this area, as in the Maze, the full effects of the event are in play. These areas will each pose a problem that needs to be resolved by teamwork through RP. Unless otherwise stated, each puzzle is limited to each player only getting to do each puzzle once, no matter how many characters they have. This is to encourage people to actually work out the puzzles IC rather than just handwaving on past it. If you, the player, know the answer to the puzzle, you can choose to change which puzzle you are working on or having your character take a back seat in figuring the puzzle out. If a player has done all the puzzles, please contact the mod to work out a way to be able to continue.

Also, with the puzzle rooms, while the event will continue through all of December, already begun Puzzle Room threads may be continued onwards, however, no new Puzzle Room thread requests will be accepted (please see how to play a Puzzle Room thread below) as of January 15th.

All Puzzle Room threads need to be posted here when completed. February 1st is the last date when these threads can be posted. Prizes may be given out IC based on completed Puzzle Rooms.

How To Play A Puzzle Room - Please choose a Puzzle you have not yet attempted by posting the following form here.

Then the Mod Journal will post the full set up for the Puzzle Room into the thread. When it is finished please post the thread ( here.

Please do not share the puzzles OOC or look at puzzles you are not undertaking until February 1st. If you are discussing a puzzle you are involved in with the player your character is teamed up with, please do so in private messages rather than public Plurks or discord groups. Thank you.
