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 Day 027 - Day 031 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start September 1 - September 30 Day 032 - Day 041 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Residential Zone Two: August 18 - August 31 Day 027 - Day 031 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start September 1 - September 30 Day 032 - Day 041 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Ice Caves: August 18 - August 31 Day 027 - Day 031 Safe: 7 Squares morning start, 6 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 8 Squares morning start, 7 Squares day start September 1 - September 30 Day 032 - Day 041 Safe: 7 Squares morning start, 6 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 8 Squares morning start, 7 Squares day start 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: <b>Starting Point:</b> The square your character is starting from. <b>Squares Traveled:</b> The amount of squares your character will be traveling, not counting the square they start from. If your character is backtracking, that will add to this amount, so please note that here. <b>Areas Searched:</b> SQUARE - BUILDING - PASSING THROUGH/QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY SQUARE - BUILDING - PASSING THROUGH/QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY <b>Anything Else?</b> This is the place to note if your character will only continue searching until they find a specific item or if they're specifically looking for only certain things and would discard other things. You can also mention if they're going to try doing anything unusual anywhere. MAKE SURE TO NOTE ANYONE TRAVELING WITH YOU. 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: <b>Location:</b> Please be specific! If they're doing something in a building, specify the building. If they're doing something outside, the square would be fine, unless you're having them work in one specific part of the square. <b>What Are They Doing?</b> Again, be specific. This can be as simple as taking an item that's part of the description or as complex as trying to break something down or build something. Note it may not always work and the town may react to attempts to alter it. 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!

Anything Else? clarke will primarily be searching for things that could be used in self-defense and ways to keep warm. she also won't scoff at any food.

Searching building 79, Clarke will find a tent rolled up in a waterproof bag she can carry with her. The tent is quite small, with only enough room for herself, but it sets up quickly. If she is caught outside, staying in the tent will allow her to survive the night. This only works once, though, because the tent will be ruined overnight, and in order to survive she must not leave the tent until morning.

O3 contains building 74, described as follows: There's only one empty bedroom remaining of this house. The walls and floor are all covered with writing--complicated mathematical equations fill the entire room. It looks a little frightening and intense, but to someone who can decode the math, it's kind of sad; every equation is wrong. It's not even the complicated parts that are incorrect--whoever wrote all of this has mishandled things as basic as addition, subtraction, and the order of operation. The equations aren't at all novel, as well, instead being equations that are already well-known in the modern world.

Searching here, she will find three pieces of charcoal.
