Dante's Abyss Pre'Scussion, Q/A

[Karl Jak]

So I just wanted to once again thank everyone for their input.

As you know, this summer's event will be 'Option D', which is the PvP-optional version of the event.

'In this event, contestants crash on an island.  It is up to the survivors to figure a way off the island.  They may work together or alone.  The host will serve much like a GM in a tabletop RPG by providing prompts and events that progress the story or give clues to the primes.  Every X number of OOC days will constitute ‘a round.’  At the end of each round, the host will give one individual a prize and then eliminate one individual from the pool of contestants (this may result in death or simply mean that person is ineligible to ‘win’ at the end).'

I just wanted to see if anyone had any inquiries in the lead-up to me actually putting together the formal rules/formats for the event.

Here are some things to throw out there.

->Event is scheduled to begin sometime in mid/late June.  Registration/preshow/whatever you want to call it will begin at least a week and a half before that date.  Overall duration is unknown at this moment, but I'd expect it to be longer than last year.  This event will have a slower pace than last year.
->Your character will be personally invited to participate in a Syntech-sponsored 'exploratory' mission into the Danteverse.  While this event will be called 'Dante's Abyss' by me for the sake of simplicity and whatnot, in-character it will not be referred to that.
->You must sign a waiver before boarding the plane.
->There will be very minor handicaps to primes in regards to Powers and 'flavor-of-life' things that most primes are used to
->While the focus of this is PvE/story, Damage and SP still play a role and should be resources that people make sure they manage
->There won't be 'Items' akin to DA15 or HG, but there will be support items awarded throughout the event.  These might be restorative (health/SP), flavor items, or they might be clues to the story
->Collaborating with other primes is optional.  Being in a group won't insulate you from elimination but may help with other dangers.  PvP is likewise optional and very much a risk-reward thing.  Just do what your character would do in the situation.  #BeYourself
->Karl Jak will be on the plane with the group of participants.
->Writers may be able to join as not-their-prime

Anyway, there's a little more to it than that, but hopefully that'll whet appetite while I type up something prettier.

Anyone have any questions?  Input?
