[ On Monster Attacks ]
So an interesting thing will be happening soon: the return of raptors! And by raptors we mean monsters, including raptors! We know many of you have been rooting for raptors to come back for ages.

Here's the deal. Alessa of Silent Hill fame is, in her canon, the reason that town gets all foggy and evil. And she's here to share some of her foggy evil with us now, thanks to Vel for her cooperation. Which means that when she's out of her restraints, her emotional stress will be reflected via occasional descents into dome-wide madness.

However, your mods have been having a little difficulty balancing things out. In the old days, we had raptors every weekend. We had to walk in the snow uphill both ways hip-deep in raptors just to get to the kiosk! But it hasn't been that way in quite some time, and some new players may find that a dramatic change, and not something they signed up for.

SO, SURVEY TIME. Poll results will only be visible by the mods, so please give your honest opinions. ETA: IJ's security levels on polls are broken. NO ONE WILL THINK LESS OF YOU FOR YOUR HONEST OPINIONS, SO PLEASE GIVE THEM. ETA ETA: No one will know who voted for what. Really! So feel free to vote your honest opinions.

Further ETA: A not official time-table might be, longer events will occur no more than once every 5-6 weeks; shorter events will occur no more than once every 3 weeks. FYI, since there seemed to be some confusion!

Poll #5331
Open to: All, results viewable to: None

How many different monsters is too many? We don't want to feel like an intense survival horror game with a giant bestiary.

Fewer is better. One or two distinct kinds of monsters is plenty.
9 (20.0%)

Three to five is a good, medium-sized number with enough variety.
13 (28.9%)

Numbers shouldn't matter, as far as I'm concerned.
2 (4.4%)

As many monsters as you want, but pick only two types per incident, depending on Alessa's stressor. (e.g. nurses if she's been brought to the hospital)
27 (60.0%)

Should we limit the areas that are affected when an incident happens?

Monsterpalooza! Go for the gold!
2 (4.4%)

It's more fun and creepier if sometimes they can appear in the shelter, too!
11 (24.4%)

It's okay if they can break in, so characters can defend against it, but indoors is normally safe.
25 (55.6%)

Monsters should never be able to be indoors.
7 (15.6%)

Should we stick to the "only at night" model, or enable an incident to happen all "day"? Incidents will be rarer if they last longer.

Only at night, so the bulk of the week is always safe to interact.
35 (77.8%)

I need more than a weekend! A full week would be better.
10 (22.2%)



Anything we left out? Anything you're curious about? Let us know! And feel free to comment anonymously if you feel the need.

Never mind, I'm in a bad mood and didn't read thoroughly enough. TBH, I have felt like we've been over-evented lately, and a lot of them have kind of choked off regular CR. But this is prison-wide, in no way restricted to a certain cast, and doesn't need to stop action for a long period of time. So I'm all for it!

I got a lousy sleep, please pardon my initial mud-stick-ness.

Detailed Results Viewable to None only makes it so that we can't see who voted for what, it never makes it so that the actual number of votes is not seen.

If that hadn't been ... explained by someone else by now.

I really miss the raptors, but I was there at the beginning and expected them. I can understand if newer players are a little skeptical.

In general, I don't think it'll do too much to interrupt evening shenanigans. We still found things to do on the weekend like video and voice posts, and shelter get-togethers, and that was back when we were itty bitty. Admittedly, the new BRAND of monster will likely have a greater psychological effect, given people wanted to keep the raptors as pets and start a raptor riding circuit</strike>, but it doesn't exactly mean everything needs to stop on the weekends!

I really do want the indoors to stay safe unless players decide to give their characters a little extra challenge with getting that midnight snack, though.

My Johnny muse says NO MONSTERS because that means Alessa is feeling bad.

I like to ignore him. ♥

I will say I like the thought of the monsters being able to get into the Shelter, because it gives us more of a challenge. Since they aren't around EVERY NIGHT, it's not that big a deal to me.

As far as I remember, none of my muses have ever run into the raptors, so I'm all for this. I remember being there when they were still around, but, uh, I just had no idea what the hell was happening because I was so new SO. XD

To be honest, I think it's about time that I freaked out Axel a little bit or...a lot.

GIR...would probably think the things were cute and try to keep one as a pet.

Mikaela...can be the damsel in distress so HAVE AT IT.

I like the idea of monsters being back! But personally I'd rather them not indoors. The raptors used to be able to get inside, if my memory is right, and it kind of kills the want for muses to live outside the shelter. Occasional break ins are cool, but it'll be bad enough on the muses psyche that they're here.

*sobs, all her muses live outside the shelther orz*
