Search Requests
For the most part, characters are allowed to travel from uncovered square to uncovered square and gather basic items on their own, provided they announce what they're taking on the appropriate page. However, it's important that we can keep track of how everyone is moving daily, and you and your characters may want to search for more plot-relevant items. There are also squares on the map that no one has traveled to, and remain a mystery until explicitly uncovered. Thus, the search page has been created for this use. You must report your character's movements in your thread. We want to make sure you haven't made any math mistakes and keep characters from accidentally teleporting around the map, for one, and we also want to make sure your character gets to experience any location-relevant situations. We will respond to your characters' movement updates within 48 hours with any monsters they would have run into that day and anything that would happen of note on a specific square your character traveled through, in addition to pointing out any math errors. In the case of monster encounters, while the day they happen on is random, you will be able to select exactly where they encounter them. You will have to respond to us telling us how the character(s) handled the monster. Unless something unusual happens, we will not reply to your character movement updates. 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! Travel and search are based on the squares of the map, and all actions are discussed in terms of squares. All searching uses up squares, which means every search reduces the amount of squares your character can travel. No searching is a free action, and is added on top of square movement, so make sure to double check your math! Moving to a square and searching a building in that square both have to be thought of as separate things, not as using the same amount of time. We will provide a limit of the amount of squares your characters have to act which encompass all actions a character takes that day; if they go over that limit, they will not be able to do anything beyond the last action that would have used up a legitimate block of time. Much like finding normal items, searches are split up into quick searches and thorough searches. A quick search takes up one square of travel time per building or area searched, while a thorough search takes up two squares of travel time per building or area searched. If you thoroughly search three buildings on one square, that would take up all of your movement at once, two per building searched. Residential Zone One: November 22 - February 1 DAY 181 - 204 Maximum Allowed Travel: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Residential Zone Two: November 22 - February 1 DAY 181 - 204 Maximum Allowed Travel: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Ice Caves: November 22 - February 1 DAY 181 - 204 Maximum Allowed Travel: 7 Squares morning start, 6 Squares day start Downtown: November 22 - February 1 DAY 181 - 204 Maximum Allowed Travel: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Split Tunnels: November 22 - February 1 DAY 181 - 204 Maximum Allowed Travel: 4 Squares morning start, 3 Squares day start Entrance: November 22 - February 1 DAY 181 - 204 Maximum Allowed Travel: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start First, reply to this thread to make a top level comment where all of your location check-ins and advanced search requests will go. This thread should have your character's name in the subject line. Make sure to reference the setting page where necessary and let us know who is travelling with you. You can also use the 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! Additionally, there is a player-created and player-run character travel map that can be used, if you would like a more visual way to track things! Note that this is optional and not all characters may be included here. To report character movements, just use this form, making sure to put the IC day in the subject line. <b><u>Character Movements</u></b> <b>Starting Location:</b> SQUARE - BUILDING <b>Travel:</b> SQUARE - BUILDINGS ENTERED (if applicable, note if a quick or thorough search was done) SQUARE - BUILDINGS ENTERED (if applicable, note if a quick or thorough search was done) SQUARE - BUILDINGS ENTERED (if applicable, note if a quick or thorough search was done) <b>Ending Location:</b> SQUARE - BUILDING (if applicable) <b>Notes:</b> Note if your character is traveling with anyone here, as well as anything else that you think is relevant. To inform us your character is searching for plot-relevant items or traveling into unexplored squares, use the following form, making sure to put the IC day in the subject line. Note that you will not always successfully find something, and the more specific you are in explaining how your character is searching, the better. <b><u>Search Request</u></b> <b>Areas Searched:</b> SQUARE - BUILDING - QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY SQUARE - BUILDING - QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY <b>Anything Else?</b> This is where you describe how your character is searching, as well as if they're specifically looking for something/specifically doing something unusual. The more detailed this is, the easier it is for us to give you accurate results. 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, making sure to note the IC date in the subject line: <b><u>Location Alteration</b> <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. To search for items left in buildings by other characters, or have your character leave items in a building, please use this post and NOT the location alteration form. This post applies to searches from day 34 onward. The old search page with the old search results is kept here.
