Neornithes OOC

Mod Ash here! The poll has been closed and you have selected the Newlydeads Game as your next event! Keep your eyes peeled for an update.

We'd also like to run a quick activity check to see who all is still active, who wants to hang around, and the like. Just comment here with all your characters and we'll mark you as active! Just a little thing we do to keep the game clean for all.

Hi friends!

Due to holidays and general busyness around this time of year, the IC day has been extended another week.

We wish you all a great New Year!

Hi everyone! Medli here again.

Quite happily, I can announce to you all that we have two new mods! Please welcome Yue and Ash! Over the next week or so, we'll be working hard to make changes and improvements.

Due to Tay's departure, our Wheel of Misfortune event will, unfortunately, have to remain unfinished. We apologize for this and promise to get going with exciting new events soon, but until then I'll be posting what rewards each character received for participating. Again, huge apologies for the delay in results. Thank you for your patience, and received funds will be added to the bank as soon as possible. Without further ado, here is what everyone won:

* Finally, the Desert Sands Oasis Vacation's identity is finally revealed... as a torture game! Both players win a trip to an after-game show! The pair will be placed in a room with a sandpaper floor running on a conveyor belt to force continued movement in the room, pulling the player back from the image of a desert oasis. The room is painted like a desert and the heaters are placed on 100F within the room. There is one small manhole in the ceiling through which players can see a possibility of freedom, but it is just above the height of two people stacked together. Every 5 minutes, the floor speeds up 1mph. Players must continue to move in the room or they will have their skin ripped off by the sandpaper over time. Time in the room is indefinite in order to wear the players out to the point of exhaustion. Death is imminent, but so slow and so painful. If either of you would like to play this out, contact a mod! ;)

There are a lot of names on the Bank Page that look like they need some antidote candy! Don't die, purchase today!

Bohaha! The time for an event is at hand! In fact, it will take place on September 28th, just in the night of time for those who need a candy by that date.

It's nearly time for the...

CARNIVAL CORPSE

Carnival Corpse is an event that pits Deadman against Deadman in an epic battle where the only weapons are one's own flesh and blood! Spectators abound and winners will win it big! But losers beware, there are the most tragic of punishment games reserved for those who don't make the mark. And for a fun twist, fellow inmates can influence the game too... Here's what's going to happen:

SPECTATOR BONUS
Every Deadman Wonderland inmate receives 100,000CP for free on the start date of the tournament.

CUTTHROAT CARNIVAL CORPSE
In a combination of Cutthroat Kitchen auctions and The Hunger Games style "sponsorship," inmates will be able to bid on specific items that they can use to affect one of the Carnival Corpse tournament fights. The auction items will go up for bid before the fight, but after the opponent matching is announced. Inmates will be able bid CP on items and if they win, they can choose to force the item on one of the Deadmen. For example, electrical shock bracelets to one of the Deadmen's limbs to prevent full use, blindfolds, or other items that the Deadmen cannot remove or the fight is forfeit.

What's to keep my character from just taking the 100,000CP and using it for candy?
Nothing-- if they just want to keep the 100,000CP that's fine. But there's an incentive for them to join in the auction beyond that. If the Deadman who their purchase benefits wins, they will gain a return of double what they spent during the auction. If the hindered Deadman wins regardless of the auction item hinder, they only lose the money they spent during the auction.

Example: Sally won an auction at 81,000CP to force Jill to fight in a banana suit*. This leaves Sally with 19,000CP no matter what happens in the fight. This would favor Jill's opponent, Hung. If Hung wins the fight, then Sally will receive 162,000CP in addition to the 19,000CP for a total of 181,000CP added to Sally's account. That's almost enough for a second candy, keeping Sally alive for longer. If Jill wins the fight, then Sally only keeps the 19,000CP. It could be dangerous, but the payout could certainly be worth it-- especially if Sally is worried that the next event might be even more terrible or not in time for her next antidote needs.
*A banana suit will not be up for auction, this is only for the sample. A list of auction items will be released at the time of the event.

Each auction winner reserves the right to choose whichever Deadmen they please as recipients of their "gifts." This means that one Deadmen may end up with multiple hindrances during their fight. Even if your character is not interested in doubling their CP, they can consider this as a way to attempt to protect their friends as well.

CARNIVAL CORPSE
Any character who is a Deadman (G-block residents) will be able to be signed up for the Carnival Corpse tournament. To sign your character up, reply to this post under this comment. All of the signed up Deadmen will be pitted against each other using an RNG. You do not get to pick your character's first opponents for this event, they will be randomized. In replying, please post ALL characters in a single comment if you have more than one character you would like to participate. This will help prevent characters from the same player being paired together.

Deadmen in a Carnival Corpse fight are only permitted to fight using their bodies and their Branches of Sin. No external weapons are allowed. The Carnival Corpse battle ends when one of the Deadmen is incapacitated or dead. It does not end upon refusal to fight. If both opponents refuse to fight, incentives will be given at the discretion of The Warden, The President, The Director, or Irving. This could mean physical harm to one of the combatants, a CP fine, harm to someone they happen to appreciate the company of, or anything that the mods decide is appropriate.

Winners of a round gain 1,000CP. The Deadmen coming in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will all receive 10 candies (a month's supply). The last Deadman standing (1st place) will additionally receive 1,000,000CP. If the Deadman loses, they will be forced to play a penalty game. Penalty games can be read about here. Should a Deadman die during the course of a fight, they will still have to face their penalty after being revived. All Carnival Corpse battles and penalty games are broadcast across the prison for all to see.

After the first level, the winners will go on to fight each other until there is only one Deadman left standing. If you have any questions at all, feel free to reply to this post and a moderator will get back to you as soon as possible! You have until Sunday to sign up. Don't be scared, Carnivals are meant to be fun~

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!

Hey everyone, this is Tay!mod. I just wanted to let you know that there were a couple of updates to job policies. First of all, here's the page for your reference. The updated sections are:

1. All jobs are listed on the page now with job descriptions.
2. A maximum of 5 positions are available for each job.
3. Inmates may only hold up to a maximum of 3 jobs at 10,000CP a day (up to 30,000CP per day.) Being a student counts as a job position, so students may only hold 2 other jobs.
4. If you would like to add an additional job, it must be approved by a moderator and added to the list before your character can perform that job.

That's all! Eventually the page will get spruced up with some nice coding, but there it is in alphabetical order for you for now! Enjoy and happy Monday!

First off, I'd like to thank all of your for participating in this wonderful musebox game known as sinners delight jammies and jumpsuits the sexy inmates NEORNITHES!! Yaaayyy!! I love you all my friends! Koz hugs for everyone!

Next couple orders of business be starting. I'd like to thank my friend Medli (who plays Loki and The Doctah) for helping me with day changes and everything. Think of her as my... assistant to the regional moderator. C:

Yesyes, okay. Before I start the real meat and potatoes here I would like to extend a courteous offer for a session where we all hang out. Yes I'm talking about a Neorn skype call. Possibly. If enough show interest then it might have to happen :'D If you just wanna talk to me 'cause I'm so amazing you can reach me on skype with the username known as: koz-da-great

yeah i wasn't creative when i was 15

Now for the real deal! Events! Here's where you come in. I'm storming up a couple events, and even bringing some back from the game I was at (and head modded as well for a short time) before it was closed. I would like some help with thinking up events, anything you think might be fantastical. This is a musebox for the people, by the people, so I would love some participating in thinking up gruesome events! ....Or nice events. Either one.

I'm developing a mixture of group events and solo events. The theme of DMWL is of course, fun and carnivals. So the Warden has become obsessed with childish games that she twisted around herself. The first event coming up is a game you might all know, Would You Rather. Here's how it goes:

The day begins like any other, the intercom comes on, the doors open, but the Warden has other plans. Those that have been signed up, picked specifically by the Warden, will be gathered to the cafeteria. Once all gathered, they will soon have to move out on to the stage, the entire place lit up and the audience cheering. Just what did she have planned? Well, no one will really know, for on a high platform comes a different man that no one had ever seen before. He calls himself the Warden's second in command, and Second is here to relieve some of that confusion. There are walls set up, glass walls that are far too thick to break are sectioning off areas, within those areas is a single table. Once the inmate is seated (they'll be forcibly seated if they don't do it on their own) the games will begin.

The objective here is simple: Survive 4 rounds.

But wait, how is the audience cheering about this? Of course, they were told this was all fake and the inmates wouldn't actually be killed. It's a show! Live a little! No matter how much the inmate screams no one will save them. Now on to the main event!

How it works: Second will ask the inmate which they would rather do, and they must pick one. If they don't want to do either, they will be shot right through the head. The snipers are in bird costumes and ready to fire! The questions vary, maybe they have to eat dirt or eat worms, maybe they have to hold their breath for two minutes or lose a finger. As the rounds continue it will get more intense. If the character is alive at the end and has been through it all, then they will be rushed to the doctor and she'll have a look at them. Your character will be put back together, but they'll have to deal with the pain of the injuries and all the scars that come with it. Both Physical and mental. It can't all be happy for the winners however, while they'll be put back together don't blame the doctor if she forgets something! Maybe an eye, a finger, a foot, or even organs might not make it back on to the character. There will be a consequence for making it all the way through, despite getting the big prize.


Ah don't worry, if your character dies during this they will still receive some CP! Not as much as the grand prize, but once they're revived they will find the cheque for 100,000 CP on their bed. If your character dies during the rounds, they'll wake up with all their parts back together, but the scars will remain. Remember, death isn't permanent here. For whatever reason they simply will not let you die.

The winner will receive what? 1,000,000 CP and this fancy crown! Aren't you lucky?

I should also mention there can and will be more than one winner! Go for the gold!

So sign on up! I'll have a post for event suggestions later on as well. Just comment here if you want in my lovelies. When will the event be? There will be an announcement next day change about it, and then the following Sunday a log will go up for the event. So on the 12th this will commence.
