[6] Participation and Preshow

[Karl Jak]

You want to participate?
 
You have two options to join Dante’s Abyss.
 
Option 1 – Join as one of your PC Primes – Show up at a registration booth (information below).  The end.  Please remember that fluid timing is not a thing we do so please resolve your current thread or storyline before leaving (because you never know what might happen to your character).
 
Option 2 – Join as an NPC Prime – Join the competition IC as an NPC.  This NPC must be pre-approved ahead of time in the NPC One Stop Shop.  The NPC must fulfill all standard NPC rules (points, approved stuff, etc) and may not be a higher level than the account you plan to use to post.  That account will receive your Posting OM and your Bonus OM.  Note:  If you wind up winning with an NPC, please be aware that said character will receive an artefact and may become a target for artefact hunters.  Artefacts may not be transferred from this NPC to your Prime.
 
Okay, How Do I Join? - Starting sometime in late May, the in-character Registration booths will pop up throughout the Omniverse.  These ‘booths’ include a large tent housing an office-like area, a staff of three Syntech employees, and a smaller room with a metal pad. 
 
When you go to sign up (there will be a thread in the Dante Verse), these workers will take your biography, your vitals, and film a small promo of you to air on the Dataverse and on other streaming services.  You will then be ushered to the back, where you will be Recalled to Syntech Station 18 (aka ‘the Preshow Facility’) in the Dante Verse.  When you post in the ‘Registration’ thread, please make sure you include your Verse in the title (example: <Camelot> Registration)
 
The preshow facility is very similar to last year’s event.  There’s a central hallway that connects to several domes.  This information will be included in a sticky when the preshow launches.
 

• Library – a quiet zone where people can read and surf the Dataverse.  Books can be found from all types of worlds and histories and parallel universes.  How much of it is legit and how much is science fiction?  Fuck if Karl knows.
  
• Park – an ‘outdoor’ area where people can play sports or enjoy a picnic.  During the last few hours before the event launches, this area will turn into a ‘nighttime park’ complete with a little meteor shower.
  
• Dojo/Gym – a place for people to work out or practice fighting to keep them amped.
  
• Bar – a dome that contains a variety of restaurants, bars, and cafes that serve all types of cuisines.  You’ll find what you like, we assure you.
  
• Barracks – All accepted participants have their own private room where they can go to rest.
  
• Teleportation Hub – A room with a large teleportation chamber that is used to send combatants to areas across the Dante Verse.
  

 
Note – Please note that violence against Syntech employees or willful destruction of Syntech property will disqualify you from participation.
 
Also Note – If you want your character to join in some unique fashion, please PM me ahead of time.
