Neornithes OOC

Everyone needs to go purchase candy before the next day change! Anyone who cannot afford candy during the day change will ICly experience death. Have fun!

Remember: You can purchase more than 1 candy at a time if you choose to. Once everyone gets off of the same date, the messages will be more personalized to each character. (But everyone is on the same date right now so this seemed more efficient.)

If you haven't commented to the check-in yet, make sure you do so! There's less than a week until we clear out inactive characters!

Hello all!

It's your friendly neighborhood Taymod with more silly but fun detail stuff to make your life, my life, and the characters' lives a little easier. There are three updates this week!

1. Item Pricing Database - The Item Pricing Database is a quick list of all items that have been requested in the present or past, along with their prices and how much a character can get back if they return the item. Note that not all items are eligible for refunds and some include additional charges. Any additional charges will be noted with a hover comment from me to explain why. There may be notes about specific items or prices to explain additional charges or elaborate on a particular detail of the item.

2. Monthly Meal Plans - Inmates can now subscribe to monthly meal plans! This means you only have to comment the bank for foods that are not covered under your character's meal plans every time they are purchased. So if your character wants to purchase a cup of coffee, cool, go for it. However, if your character wants their lunch and doesn't want oatmeal slop every day, you don't have to comment every single Sunday with your character's meal itinerary. There are more details on the page itself and three separate plans that depend on how much your character can afford / wants to afford. Remember: You do have to comment the first time. On the "1st" of each IC month, there will be a reminder to renew the monthly plan if your character both has the money to and would like to.

3. Pet Monthly Meal Plans - If your character has a pet, they will be required to have one of these plans. If they cannot afford the plan, they will either have to temporarily loan their pet to someone else who can or give the pet up. The price of the meal plan is dependent upon the size and rarity of the animal (a hamster is going to cost less to take care of than a tiger, for example). The meal plans come in Small, Medium-Large, and Exotic and are all listed on the Item Pricing Database, along with the cost of animals of the same description. (Keep in mind that exotic animals are only obtainable via special events. You cannot purchase a lion or a venomous snake or a chinese giant salamander, for example.)

That's all! If you would like to make any updates to your characters' meal plans or pet meal plans, head over to the bank page. If you have any questions, please comment to this post. Lastly, a reminder: don't forget to comment to the check-in if you intend on staying with us at Neornithes!

It's a game changer! Wahahahaahahahaha! Okay no but seriously we've got a couple of things to talk about.

1. Candy dosage is changing to last only 3 days instead of 7.
WHY?
Because if you start off with a candy for 7 days, that's 7 weeks in real time. Plus the 7 weeks leeway for new people, that gives you 14 weeks without having to participate in any events. That's nearly 4 months! Which can make game participation difficult for characters that aren't as gung-ho about torturing their friends as other characters are.

ICly, this will be announced with the Day Change on Sunday, along with a clearing of all previous candy. Candy dates for characters will be kept track of at the new "Neornithes Bank." (See #3.)

2. All characters' CP is going to be reset to 100,000CP + the amount they won in the last event.
WHY?
Very very few people have actually been keeping track of their characters' CP. For this reason, there will be a new "Neornithes Bank" to keep track of it for you! (See #3.) This will also be announced during the day change on Sunday.

3. The Neornithes Bank!
WHAT?
Tay-mod likes organizing things and has volunteered to keep track of everyone's CP and candy dates for you. There's a fancy spreadsheet and everything already waiting. Starting on Sunday, you as the player will be required to comment to the bank page for anything your character buys.

All bank accounts for current characters are starting at 100,000CP + the amount of CP won in the last event. If you are not finished with your event thread yet, I have a list and will be keeping track of the threads until all 4 questions are answered. If you do not see the increase in your character's bank account and a week has passed after the thread has ended, feel free to nudge a mod to get it updated.

Money for jobs will be automatically deposited into the character's account each Sunday, so make sure that your character is signed up on the jobs page to receive their CP for the position. If your character is not signed up officially, they will not receive CP for their work.

If a character needs a candy, a private message will be sent to the character's account as a notification for you the player with the option to either have the character die of collar poison or for them to purchase a new candy. You may have your characters purchase candy ahead of time and the date will be updated based on how many candies they purchase at 100,000CP each. If the character does not have 100,000CP to spend on candy and they reach their date, they either need to find someone else willing to purchase them a candy. The purchase should be noted as "Candy for [Name]" on the bank page so that the time goes to the correct individual.

For future events, you the player will need to comment the bank page to add event CP to your characters accounts, along with a link to the thread. Any CP awarded on day changes will be automatically added to your characters' accounts.

The bank page is here and all updates will be added to the FAQs on Sunday.

4. Active Players Check-In!
If you're still interested in being in the game, you need to make sure to comment this post with all of the characters that you play so we can clear out inactive characters! It's a separate post so it can be stickied at the top.

Have any questions? Comments? Crazy gifs? Reply to this post and a mod will get back to you as soon as possible!

Hello everyone! It's finally time for another wonderful event. Let the explanation begin!

So, the Milgram Experiment won in the end! Thank you for everyone that voted! It's a pretty simple event but oh so much fun. But first, a little reminder of what was on the poll.

This grand adventure gives inmates the power to give or take away the pain of their fellow friends using electrical shock after being given permission by a local authority to do it without getting in trouble! What better way to view a criminal than to see them for what they are? The result of the experiment showed that most people act based on the situation, rather than what kind of person they are, but what colors will Deadman Wonderland's inmates show~?!

Basically for this event, there will be two people paired up. You may choose partners or have partners given to you. Simply sign up your characters on this post and the pairing will commence as soon as the log is put up for everyone. There will be questions PM'd to the people who have been chosen to administer the electricity, and each shock with get stronger and stronger with every round. Here's how it works for CP and such:

There will be questions directed at the person sitting in the wired chair, and if they answer it correctly they gain CP and will not be shocked. If they answer incorrectly, then it's up to the person who asked the question to administer that dose of electricity. For every right answer, the one in the chair gets CP, and for every wrong answer, the one asking the questions gets CP. If they refuse, then they are the ones who are shocked, and that is controlled by the Warden, the President, the Director, and Irving themselves.

There will be four questions in total, and the final question is worth the most. If the final question is answered incorrectly, then the shock will be enough to kill the person in the chair.

Feel free to sign up characters here and ask questions if needed!
