INFORMATION!
Hey guys! Sorry, there will be a lot of OOC posts today. Whatever, you love it.
We wanted to give everyone some info before the game goes back into normal ("normal") mode in an hour and a half.
We've gotten a lot of questions about George Cooper. For your edification, he looks like this -- or he did, before he was killed dead.
Students who request to visit the morgue and see Cooper's body will be permitted to do so on Tuesday. There will be heavy guard supervision.
In the fight, the characters who got a successful hit on George were: Sam, Mason, Qamar, Mike, Eden, Lilja, Omar, Vic, Hugo, Clara. Marine also slapped him in the Insane Asylum group! Players are free to decide what their individual character's contributions are, we just obviously ask that no one hit was enough to kill him off; he died from the collective injuries.
Once everyone is woken up and accounted for, it will be discovered that while no students died, the non-Vol staff contingent took heavy hits. Five guards from lockup, the very friendly cook that always took requests, the grumpy custodian, the Spanish teacher, and the super hot female bartender who was always very generous with drinks -- all were killed. Many others sustained serious injuries. Team Leaders Li and Rene are okay.
Anthony, along with some help from Caleb and Richie (with augmentation from Donovan?) spent most of the evening tending to major injuries. Doing too much tires them out, though, so anything that wasn't life-threatening was taken care of by a traditional doctor or nurse.
Around 7:00, for the first time since this started, the internet came back on. Phone communication turned on too, and was free for the next 24 hours.
An email will go out with the communications information that classes are cancelled for the week to allow people rest and recovery. Mandatory counseling sessions will be happening on Tuesday for all students, though, and counselors will be available throughout the rest of the week.
We will have some more information for you on what the international media coverage of the event has been. It's just going to take us some time to write that up, so please be patient with us.
We will put up a post shortly for people to discuss character injuries. Please hold. EDIT:Here you go.
On Wednesday it will be announced that the beach trip has been rescheduled and will now happen the weekend of Nov. 23-25. Students going on the trip will leave that Friday morning.
On a more personal note, we want to say thank you SO MUCH to all of you for participating over the past few days -- we're absolutely thrilled with how you took our ideas and ran with them, making this plot into something more magical and amazing than we ever could have imagined. We hope you had fun and got a chance to try new things with your characters, and while we do feel a little bit sorry for sending them through this trauma... we mostly don't, because of all the amazing stuff you guys have done with it.
The sheer number of logs everyone has been cranking out is astounding, but even more than that, we've been blown away by the consistent quality of everything that you've produced over the past four days. We count ourselves lucky to have the opportunity to play at invol with all of you.
Finally, thank you for your kind words of encouragement throughout the weekend -- it meant a lot to hear that you all were enjoying yourselves! If you have any questions about the information in this post, please don't hesitate ask them here!
