AC Reminder AND Idea Suggestion

[hiddenbymods]

Hello again fellow workers of the Bathhouse. This is your mods giving you one more friendly reminder that AC is ending Tomorrow May 23rd at 11:59EST. If you have not posted to the AC yet, please go and do so here

The current list of passing characters can be found under this cut:


Allen Walker
Barnaby Brooks Jr.
Bayonetta
Elizabeth Midford
Flynn Scifo
Kaede Kaburagi
Kobato Hanato
Lelouch vi Britannia
Madara/Nyanko-sensei
Maron Kusakabe
Mizuno Ami/Mercury
Noel Vermillion
Pharos*
Roxy
Seishirou Sakurazuka
Subaru Sumeragi
Suzaku kururugi*
Xiaoqiao
Yuri Lowell
Yuusuke Urameshi

Those with * next to their names have requested a save and must present more activity in the next AC.


ALSO

Now with the AC out of the way, we would like to throw up a suggestion to our playerbase. Many of you at this point now have enough money to afford a ticket or a memory. As we don't have the trains setup yet, we're going to start running a special shop for people to purchase their possessions aka their memories back. How we would like to run this coincides with the Activity Check.

1) At the end of every Activity Check, we will draw out 4-5 names randomly. This only applies to people who have passed the AC, and do not have a Save.
2) The people listed will be given the option to either buy a memory back or pass.
3) If you decide to take a memory, you will not be in the next AC drawing. Should you choose to pass, your character will be put back into the drawing for the next AC.
4) Unless everyone chooses to pass, there will be no redraws.
5) Memories are worth the same amount as a ticket. 5 Gold pieces.
6) We find this gives a little challenge to get the memories back, rather than just have people have access to it at any time. It is also a motivator to meet AC, yea?

We would like to hear your thoughts on this idea, whether approve, disagree or offer suggestions. If there's enough approval for this system, we will start using it once this AC ends.

ALSO REALISING PERSON ABOVE ME MENTIONED THE CHANCE TO SEE YUBABA yes this basically but it does have to be taken into consideration how much your character has potentially saved? I guess? That's probably an individual decision (for example, I'd say Kotetsu's been buying stuff in town like snacks and things for his daughter and whatnot so he wouldn't have more than just enough to buy one ticket or a memory) . . .

I guess my question is, how often these chances to see Yubaba would come about. If it's solely based on money (compared to "YOU'VE BEEN SLACKING OFF EXPLAIN YOURSELF OR YOU'LL BE A PIG TOMORROW" or getting a good reputation for working hard in the bathhouse or pleasing an important guest or... /possibilities) then potentially it would be pretty easy to get an audience with her if your character saved up enough and wasn't drawn in the lottery.

O- Otherwise if this all seems too complicated I think just the draw by luck for memories and tickets (and possibly items!) sounds just dandy! Maybe the game needs a little momentum first.

If the personal item doesn't have a very strong attachment to the character, they can be bought back at anytime. As mentioned above we're gonna set up a shop for that so people can fill a form out with whatever item they're asking for and a reason why you believe it's minor to the character. Something like that.

What would you and the person above you think about just allowing people who were drawn to meet Yubaba? Perhaps ICly, they were drawn because SHE thought they were doing good. That's what we think you were both going for...? And we think it's actually a good idea. Though we're not sure if we'll look into implementing the Yubaba aspect of it by this AC, but definitely the next.

She'll probably only hold onto items with strong attachments to the character and setup a separate shop for the minor items. Sound good?

[beardedveteran]

Ohhh, cool! A form system would work just fine, as with picking jobs for characters and such, and it sounds like it might be easier to organise for you guys. ♥

Personally I think that'd be a good aspect of the monthly draw, being able to meet Yubaba-- depending on the mods' availability for actual threading, of course. I'm assuming if this does happen it would be up to Yubaba-mun/the mods in charge of the relevant NPCs and the players themselves to figure out which memory/item/etc they're buying back.

On the note of items with strong attachments, would it theoretically be possible to-- upon being drawn/summoned to meet Yubaba-- request her for one on negotiated terms, as opposed to the shop system for minor items? Not immediately, of course (it wouldn't be any fun if everyone got their most important items back now!) but as a possibility of ever actually obtaining said items.

Well, I think what we will probably do with the encounter with Yubaba is to just create a log post after the drawing, specifically for the people chosen to talk to her accordingly in separate threads that way. It will be there and we would tag it when we can.

Unless you actually want us to choose what memories you want back, we'll probably leave it to the players to decide which memory and items they want from Yubaba...for now.

Ah, that last question confused me. Are you asking about negotiating with Yubaba for minor items? I got confused halfway through the question.
