trpmememodsGood News Everybody!
There is an event coming up in January to celebrate the changing of the seasons. The Agrii have been so happy learning about He Row traditions and wanted to share in return one of their own. So why, you ask, do we tell you this in December? Because part of their tradition will involve a special treat for all characters in the game.
Every character will be receiving a gift from the Agrii!
Not just that, but those gifts aren't like the chocolates or snow globes or anything else. No, these are gifts of the same caliber as what people are normally awarded for referring a new person to the game! There are rules, of course, and just like with a referral prize, all requests are subject to approval from the mods. Because of this we wanted to give everyone time to come up with what they might want so we can review requests.
So let's talk about how this is going to work.
January Character Gifts Rules
First, let's talk about what sort of items are eligible. We'll be using a slight variation on the normal referral prize gifts here, meaning characters will be able to receive an item following the below rules:
-The item must be from the character's own canon/world (for instance Ariel from the little Mermaid can't request the rose from Beauty and the Beast). A special note for Drift Fleet Alums or anyone else bringing their character from another game is that they may request an item from those settings instead
-The item cannot be an animal/pet/sentient droid/other living being
-The item cannot be a vehicle, no matter how small.
-No items that would be setting breaking (for example, no nukes, no killer viruses, no nukes)
-Weapons can be requested but there is a chance they will not be given, Agrii still are nervous over those
Now you've got to be wondering how you're going to ask for these items. The answer is that at the bottom of this post we've included a form for people to use for their requests. You'll post it as a comment here, using the character's journal. Please only include one character of information in each reply. All of the comments are screened and accessible only to the mods. This way we'll be able to have a conversation with any players to ask for clarification. Don't worry if the mods don't reply to you in this post. If we don't, that just means that we've found something on your list that the Agrii will gift you with. Most people will not be asked questions for clarification.
Wait, 'on our list' you ask. Yes, list. We're actually asking for players to do is provide us with a list of five items that they would potentially like. The form below asks for a ranked list of five items, with the most preferred item at the top. We're doing this to ensure the mods have options to consider, as there are some things the Agrii may or may not want to give. It also means that if someone's most wanted thing was very, very tiny and inconsequential, we might have the option of giving a second small item to make it more balanced with the sort of things other people are getting. It might feel weird if one person's most desired request is just a piece of paper with a single word on it, while another person is getting a full photo album.
We ask that everyone try and get us their requests by December 21st. This will be both for characters already in the game and anyone new joining us. Everyone gets a gift. In the situation where one is not requested, the mods will attempt to determine a suitable item, but it may not have personal meaning to the character.
So please help us help the Agrii create the best sharing of their culture possible.
