Plotpalooza June 2010
| June! What the hell? Is this year flying by faster than usual? I feel like it should still be March. Anyway, Welcome to June! We're so excited you folks have stuck around with us and look forward to more plot things!! This month we're going to start implementing some "news events" in game that would be "world plot." Media players may choose to cover the events with articles if they so choose - but it's completely optional. Folks should be aware that the news happened with or without an article. 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: The American Western Show - This month the 5 star experience restaurant; Pricilla Podmore Presents, in Euphoria Lane will be hosting her American Western 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. June 17-18 - Hogsmead Highland Games - A Father's Day tradition for the last 5 years, Hogsmeade hosts a Wizarding Highland Games Event. Intermural Quidditch matches are played. Dueling Events are organized throughout the day. A 25 kilometer Broom Race through the mountains with 100 racing spots are present. Each individuals sport has a champion purse of 10k galleons. The quidditch team that wins is awarded 20k galleons to be split amongst players. June 21st - Summer Solstice Street Art - In celebration of the Summer Solstice a wizarding street artists of unknown name strategically placed small boulder sized rocks throughout all streets in the wizarding UK and Ireland. The rocks when touched by a living creature explodes with gulal (powdered paint dye) and a vocal crowd yells excitedly, "It's Summer!" The powder that covers people and the surrounding street can't be cleaned by any magical means, but fades completely after 24 hours. June 23rd - Knockturn Alley Summer Carnival. A yearly community event to celebrate the positive transformation of the district. Food trucks and tents take over the Alley. There are carnival rides and local vendors. Shops offer discounts. There's also a stage for live musical performances. This year The Angry Nifflers, Acid Wands, and Danger Harper and the Flying Wombats are expected to perform. 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. June 0 - [Red] - Richard Crabbe | Case Officers: P. Montgomery & K. Bell 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! June 06 - Carlotta Pinkstone, a witch who considers herself a "Fullblood," a term that's been slowly becoming popular was arrested after a demonstration she orchestrated. A dozen nifflers were released in muggle Knightsbridge, London as a protest against "Wizarding Suppression." June 15 - The Chudley Cannons are on way to a 5th win of the season. It's the longest winning streak in nearly a century! Their last match against the leading team, Montrose Magpies, was won 450 to 575. Their next match is against the Falmouth Falcons. Some claim that with the Chuddley's most recent trade of top players from Puddlemere, Tutshill, and Kenmare they have a chance at the cup! June 20 - Herman Wintringham to release solo album after the announced hiatus of The Weird Sisters. He's quoted as saying he's working on some stuff that will, "fuse contemporary with good instrumentals. The lute is ripe for a comeback." The article quotes fans and skeptics. Long time fans are ecstatic. Younger generations mock the insanity of Wintringham actually making any new music that is relevant or good. June 28 - Muggleborn, Angelo Sampson, claims to have written a spell that can nullify specific magical enchantments. A biz article on his company "Null Candy" is selling lawn ornaments that claim to have the practical use of preventing apparition in homes without needing constant ward maintenance. It's also rumoured that the Ministry is looking into a deal with Null Candy for structures to be placed in "high crime" areas and possibly even in the Ministry of Magic itself. 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 6531 - Item Acquisitions - 20k Galleons | +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 inspired by, "Surprise, bitch!"
