Search Requests (OLD)
| Search Requests (OLD) | |||
Characters are allowed to travel across already traveled upon squares without mod intervention, but if they are traveling across unexplored squares or want to search buildings and other areas, you will have to post here. How much searching and traveling your character can do is based on the weather, any movement penalties your character may have, and any events that may otherwise hinder travel. Common sources of movement penalties are injury and being over-encumbered--if you want to try and drag a mattress around with you, don't expect to get anywhere very quickly! The base amount your character can travel is divided up by area of the map and then split between safe and potentially unsafe travel. Travel is on a per-square basis; safe travel is how many squares you can move and still have time to find a place to shelter for the night--you could reasonably expect to be able to backtrack a bit and settle down in a house if you find yourself in an empty square, while unsafe travel means you're traveling right up until the 8PM lockdown. If you end up in an empty square at that point, your character will be locked outside and die overnight of exposure. The time it takes your character to search is split into a quick search and a thorough search. SEARCHING HAPPENS ON A PER-BUILDING BASIS, NOT A PER-SQUARE BASIS. A quick search of a location gives you more time to travel; a thorough search gives you less time but can yield a larger quantity of items, as well as items that would be better-hidden. By default, a quick search uses up one square of travel time, while a thorough search uses two. Especially large buildings will take longer to explore completely, but these will be noted as they are found. As far as what you can find, typically they will be items normally associated with whatever sort of building you're in. There might be more unusual items in certain areas, though... In the case of certain buildings, things can be assumed to be included in the rooms even if they are not specifically outlined in the descriptions. There are no electronics in homes unless specifically noted. Unless otherwise noted in a specific description, assume the following is in each residential home that has these rooms mentioned: Living Room: couch, armchair, end tables, television stand, bookcases Kitchen: cupboards, counters/counter tops with drawers Dining Room: dining room table, chairs (default is six chairs) Office: desk, chair Nursery: crib, rocking chair, changing station, small dresser Bedroom: bed frame, mattress, dresser, nightstand Master Bedroom: bed frame, mattress, large dresser, two nightstands Bathroom: toiletries Electricity and running water should not be assumed to occur in a house and will be noted in case of a house having these things. If water is mentioned, it defaults to cold water. We encourage you to do your planned traveling all at once so we can get you your results as quickly as possible, but don't worry if IC circumstances lead to your character traveling twice in one day! You can comment again and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. While you're traveling in this manner, if at any point your character would come across something unusual or something they would have to react to, we will pause your travel there to allow you to see what they've come across and react accordingly. Residential Zone One: August 18 - August 31 September 1 - September 30 Residential Zone Two: August 18 - August 31 September 1 - September 30 Ice Caves: August 18 - August 31 September 1 - September 30 First, reply to this thread to make a top level comment where all of your search threads will go. This thread should have your character's name in the subject line. To travel into unexplored territory or search, fill out the following form, making sure to reference the setting page where necessary and let us know who is travelling with you, and reply to your own thread: If your character would like to alter something written in the basic description of a square or building, this is also the place to put that! For example, if your character really is going to give dragging a mattress around a try, they can take one from a house if you let us know. We can both adjust the descriptions of the locations and tell you potential results/penalties. To do this, fill out the following form and reply to your top level: Finally, we have a character location spreadsheet that lists where characters are on various days, so you can more easily see where everyone is and how it relates to your character. This is player-updated, so feel free to make a row for your character and start adding where they've been! | |||
DAY 031, 032, & 033
Starting Point: O3
Squares Traveled: Three
Areas Searched:
P3 - 75 - QUICKLY
Q3 - PASSING THROUGH
Q2 - 72 - /BUNKING THERE/THOROUGH SEARCH
Anything Else? IT'S A PARTY. Zack, Kunsel, Cloud, Jim, Hiro, and Tadashi.
Zack's looking for the usual: food, drink, first aid/medicine, anything to help keep warm, screwdriver, and anything possibly suspicious. Plus any kind of weapon for the sake of the people he's traveling with now.
DAY 032
Starting Point: Q2
Squares Traveled: Four
Areas Searched:
Q1 - THOROUGH WALL SECTION SEARCH
R1 - THOROUGH WALL SECTION SEARCH/BUNKING IN 63 AND HATING LIFE/THOROUGHLY SEARCHING IT THAT NIGHT
Anything Else? See Day 31. Also, he's gonna be hella keeping an eye out for anything creepy and extra suspicious because this place reeks of awful things.
DAY 033
Starting Point: R1
Squares Traveled: Four
Areas Searched:
S1 - THOROUGH WALL SECTION SEARCH
T1 - THOROUGH WALL SECTION SEARCH/BUNKING IN 67/THOROUGHLY SEARCHING IT THAT NIGHT
Anything Else? See Day 31. Also, two things! One, Zack and Kunsel are going to more or less strip search each other to see if there's any sign of a potential microchipping implant visible on either of them (you can thank House for dropping that idea in their heads. 8|). Does anything turn up? And Zack's likely going to be ganking mattress pieces from that mattress for snow shoes because why not.
EDIT: Sorry for the second edit here. But we'd like this as a group search please! So, this would be for Zack, Kunsel, Cloud, Jim, Tadashi, and Hiro!

Searching building 75, they will each be able to take up to a week's worth of rations. They will also find a pack of cigarettes, a can of beer (unfortunately empty), a two-pack of plastic lighters, and a lottery ticket (not a winner).
Searching building 72, they will find a moldy loaf of bread, a plastic bucket full of gross water, a can of bug spray (it promises it's completely nontoxic to humans and pets), and a bottle of mysterious pills (aspirin, if they decide to try it).
DAY 032
Searching the snow wall of Q1, they will find nothing of special note. The snow is very tall and thick; it's obviously been there a while, considering how compressed it is and how difficult it is to dig into.
The snow wall of R1 is essentially identical to Q1.
Searching building 63, they will find a white throw pillow, a container of off-brand mint tic-tacs, an empty brown leather wallet, a flyswatter, and one diamond earring. During the night, they will hear heavy breathing upstairs around where the balcony is, but there's no signs of anything having been there in the morning.
DAY 033
The walls of S1 and T1 are similar to Q1 and R1.
Searching building 67, they will find a pair of ski poles, a red folding fan with Japanese characters, a purple and green Mardi Gras necklace, a photograph of Yellowstone National Park, a box of stale, off-brand Cheerios, and a pack of bubblegum with five sticks left.
Zack and Kunsel will find no signs of microchipping, nor will they find any unexpected marks. Hopefully they did this away from the younger kids in the group.

This application can be used to, with the appropriate coding knowledge, break into basic network filters. It can also be used to create filters that are more difficult to break through, again with appropriate coding knowledge. It allows for filters to be saved, altered, copied, and transferred easily. It also allows for giving people on the network nicknames in place of their chosen username, although these nicknames will only show up on Jim's tablet.
Please get player permission before breaking into any filters. This application is permanently locked to Jim's tablet and cannot be transferred.
