| BLEH! This week has been weird! Anyway - here is the July Plotpalooza! Wanted to get this up and going so you guys can start plotting all the fun things. Nothing new in terms of game dynamics - I think we found a decent pocket that works for everyone. The only thing worth mentioning is if you're not using our Slack Channel it's a great tool! If you need invites let me know. Mini Note: I'm behind on Character Boxes - but those will be up by the end of today - I'll post another post about when those are updated. Everyone's text details of your rewards are updated - I just need to update the images. I'm thinking character boxes will be updated once a month moving forward. So the rewards you claim this month (July & Aug) will be available around the same time as the next plotpalooza (Sept). August has been added to this plotpalooza cause July got busy and we all got sparse. So consider this the opportunity to expand on any plots from July into August! CIVILIAN PLOT These are events and notable happenings that your character would be able to engage and/or know about. These are open to ALL players at any given time. Please note specific dates and plan accordingly. Karaoke Night - The Winged Wombat in Nation Alley continues their Karaoke events every Tuesday & Thursday night. The Karaoke Machine magically uses your "feelings" to pick the song for you to sing. Happy Hour is 3pm - 5:30pm. Karaoke starts at 6pm. The Winged Wombat is popular for having the largest selection of international beers on tap, however, they do not serve hard liquor. Priscilla Podmore Presents: An Intergalactic Musical - This month the 5 star experience restaurant; Pricilla Podmore Presents, in Euphoria Lane will be hosting her Intergalactic Musical dinner show! World renowned chefs, Priscilla Podmore and Cuthbert Cresswell, will be preparing a 9 course meal for parties up to 10 people for a 2 hour magical experience complete with actors, adventure, and intrigue. Dinner times are set for 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm - Monday - Sunday. Cost is 10 galleons a person - min purchase of 4 seats required. July 27 - 30 - Community Quidditch League Tournament - The Knockturn & Diagon Alley Community League has been around since 2005. Every year they play their Summer Tournament the last week in July. 10 teams who have played against one another since May battle it out for community bragging rights and a team trip to the Bermuda Triangle Resort. This year the tournament has found a sponsor that has paid for both WWN and WiVi airtime. Commentators include; Alasdair Maddock and Tiago Montoya. DWP INTERVIEWS The following characters have their Dark Wizard Prevention Act Interviews scheduled this month. Be sure to let us know what date you'd like for your character's DWP interview to happen. Then copy and paste the DWPA Report and fill out the information appropriately. For reference you can see a sample of a DWPA Report here. [Green] - Miles Bletchley | Case Officers: R Davies & P. Patil PROPHET QUICKIES Prophet quickies are new! We're going to have basic summaries of things that your characters can chatter about and use at your leisure. If media folks want to write and expand on the prophet details feel free to do so! July 07 - Riot Results - New ranking documents have been publicly posted by the Ministry to imply that due to the "Freedom for All Riots" those who were arrested have seen rank changes over the last few weeks. About 120 people were changed from Blue to Green rankings. And 20 people from Green to Yellow rankings. July 14 - A Flying Unicycle has been released by Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes! Masked with anti-muggle wards, the George and Ron Weasley were able to find proof that unicycles were originally invented by french wizard, Alvie Moreau, in the early 1800's. Muggles only took the idea when a muggle neighbor saw him trying out a prototype. Because Moreau never patented the idea unicycles were deemed "muggle" by the masses. Today, however, the Weasley Whizzing Unicycles is available for the masses! It's great for city and rural terrain and can also fly at speeds and heights rivaling the best broom on the market - you just have to pedal to determine your speed. The unicycle is enchanted with an Anti-Muggle ward to Ministry broom standards, and people are already looking into personal modifications to "fix" the speed problem. July 19 - Minister's Office Announces mass Azkaban change in guard. Azkaban Governor Ashton Entwhistle was forcibly put on leave while an internal investigation makes way in establishing whether Entwhistle's approach to security and prisoner treatment were up to protocol. There is no mention of the mass breakout of prisoners in this announcement. Any newspaper individuals looking to find answers will find it very difficult to get anyone to talk. July 26 - A letter to the editor from, Tilda Fenway, a 87year old squib who lives in muggle Kinsale, Ireland expresses concern for the rising missing person's cases popping up in the area. 15 muggles aged 10-30 have been reported missing in the last two months. This individual has written the DMLE everyday for a month with no avail. So they started writing letters to the Editor at the Daily Prophet to get a reporter to investigate these claims. A reporter went to find nothing but "run away" cases to get Ms. Fenway to shut up they posted her letter in the paper. LAW ENFORCEMENT PLOT Players can choose to pursue and expand on the crime scenes their characters opt in for- or choose to leave it as unsolved cases. See what inspires you! Keep in mind that future crime scenes may involve a case your character previously was involved with so keep an eye out! Each crime scene will include extra credit Character Box Points. These are applied for EVERY scene that engages or expands on the crime in question. So it's possible to add these bonus points to multiple scenes and interactions. These bonus points are only valid in the same month as the plotpalooza they are meant for. (IE; A May crime bleeds into June. June activity on that crime does not include the bonus point) Reminder; Crime plots are also open to civilians to pursue through direct involvement or indirect (family member) involvement. Media characters may plot to write the article for these events as they deem appropriate.
VIP LOUNGE & HOTEL PLOT New Job Postings: Case 7122 - Wand Tester - 5 Galleons weekly | +10 activity bonus - Open BONUS POINTS The following section of Plotpalooza includes "plot memes" and "inspirations" that players can engage to gain "extra credit" points for their individual character boxes. These are completely optional and Bonus Points are added to every instance of the Extra Credit Scenario. Backstory Topics: Backstory topics are specific to events occurring anytime before 2010. Any events that are backdated to a few days/weeks ago do not count as backstory. 10+ Points - A scene about your character's first kiss. Present Day Topics: Present Day topics are events that occur this month July 2010. 10+ Points - A witech post discussing the mass DWPA rank changes going on this month. ANNOUNCEMENTS & DISCUSSIONS CHARACTER BOXES: Character Box Scores have been updated from May activity. If you didn't post in May you did not receive activity points. If your character leveled up the box to the left will have a ↑ next to the character's name. Be sure to comment below what you'd like your Level Reward to be. Points are updated, boxes will be updated as people give me what they want in reward!
