Beacon Hills Out of Character

Today is officially Monday, October 30, 2011 in game time. You have until next Thursday to play out events on this day.

There will be a network announcement from the Sheriff's department letting everyone know that there is an escaped convict on the loose and to be on the lookout. The school will be locked down and there will be an IC 'party' style post for anyone at the school who wants to interact, react to events, etc.

Late evening, all the power will go out in Beacon Hills and remain out the next day.

For reference, this day is depicted in the episode Galvanize.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions if you have them!

We'll be kicking off plot things tomorrow!

I've posted ads in a bunch of the ad communities, but if you'd like to advertise somewhere (including your own journals) please feel free! The code for the ad is below and you can see what it looks like here!

In doing so, they supercharged the Nemeton, a Druid Sacred Space on the outskirts of town, which will attract supernatural creatures to Beacon Hills (essentially "lighting" the beacon).<br> The ritual worked but left the three with nightmares and other lingering after effects. Weeks later, the ritual had an unexpected side effect. In addition to attracting supernatural creatures from their own dimension to town, it turned the Nemeton into a portal of sorts and started dragging people from other universes, some previously believed to be fictional, to the town.<br> These new arrivals couldn't seem to return to their own worlds. In addition, if they fell asleep outside of the town limits, they would wake up back in Beacon Hills the next day. The Sheriff worked with the town government to set up housing for these transplants while everyone scrambled to figure out what exactly happened and how to reverse it.<br> <lj user="lightthebeacon"> <lj comm="beaconhillsrp"> <lj comm="beacon_ooc"> </div></div> <div style="width:580px;height:75px;text-align:center;font-color:#fff;"> We'll be playing through the events of Season 3B beginning on Friday, January 8th.

Welcome to Beacon Hills! Waaaaarooooooooo!!!

We the mods come bearing a very important update regarding the in-game timeline!

As of right now, during the time characters are beginning to arrive, time is a little fuzzy. A day isn't a day and time in town isn't really progressing anywhere. We're sitting vaguely around the end of October, 2011 with no exact date. This will remain the status of the game until January 8, when the pre-opening holds expire. This will mark the official start of in-game time.

Teen Wolf has a timeline that doesn't always make any logical sense, but we've put together (with a lot of help from wiki) a comprehensive passage of time, that will follow a simple 3-5-7 rule. Progressing from episode to episode would leave us with a lot of empty days and days with too much going on to be addressed in any timely manner.

In-game days of significant plot development will last a total of seven real world days.
In game days of minor plot development will last a total of five real world days.
In game days of very little or no plot development will last a total of three real world days.

Monday, 30 October 2011 will begin on Friday, 8 January 2016 and will last seven days. It will encompass the following plot details which can be played out and/or reacted to in any order you wish.
Mischief Night
•Barrow escapes
•Scott has dinner at Kira's house
•Peter uses Talia's claws to mind meld with Derek
•Stiles and Lydia go back to the school to look for evidence
•Barrow kidnaps Kira
•Scott tries to save Kira at the power plant
•Kira absorbs all the electricity in Beacon Hills
•Shadows in black masks attack Isaac
•Agent McCall questions Stiles, Scott, Lydia, and Kira

Every Sunday from here on out, the upcoming week's schedule will be posted, along with relevant plot developments. We've also added a link to a calendar to Player Resources, and please comment here with a gmail address if you'd like to have it shared and added to your personal calendar (where you can set up personal notifications if you want them!)

In addition, as the game progresses, we will be looking for ways to incorporate non Teen Wolf characters into the major plot arc.

Questions, thoughts and feelings in the comments, and don't forget to be awesome.

Waaaaarooooooooo!!!
