The December (+January) group event, Spy vs Spy, has now begun! In this event, each group has been given a mission by the Masters. However, these missions conflict! Groups have been variously tasked with protecting, or rooting out and killing, two NPCs: the siblings Rezik and Reji!
A few pointers about this quest, to keep it fun and fair:
- IC is IC! ANYTHING goes. If your characters decide they want to cooperate, go into hiding, or try to find another solution, they're welcome to do so. Whether it will work is another story... But this is a quest about moral choices and clever outmaneuvering, so think about what your characters would do! Creativity outside what might seem to be rigid rules is welcome.
- If your characters are one of the 'defense' groups, please clarify how the NPC will be defended, if at all. If an attack would bypass these defenses, additional defenses cannot be retroactively assumed, or metagamed.
- If your characters go on the attack, check the defenses in place before assuming that the NPC is alone! Likewise, please remember that your characters are, unless they scout them out, unaware of existing defenses. Don't cancel a planned assault because you've found out OOC about an existing defense--no metagaming!
- If your group is one of the ones for which "must volunteer two members to the Trials" is a consequence for failure, and your group loses (or allows itself to lose), be aware that new characters can be created for this purpose. The impact of potentially losing group members to the Trial is what matters, and losing young new members in character will be as dire as losing existing ones.
- The event will run through the end of January, though it may be extended long enough to allow existing threads to complete.
Hopefully this event will bring to the table some fun, drama, and moral quandaries, and it's my hope that the consequences (whatever they may end up being!) will be fun to RP out. If you have any questions, feel free to tag Game Master Dark, PM me, or ask me in the Discord!
Let the games begin...
