Search Requests

Search Requests

While traveling through Norfinbury, 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. This page is not for reporting standard movements; if you need to do that, follow the directions on the character movements page. You can also find the square allowances on that page: remember, a quick search takes one square of movement, while a thorough search takes two! In order to have your character search an area, first find the comment of the location your character will be searching. There are general area comments at the beginning for uncovering new squares, searching outside of buildings, and talking to @ADMIN or other things not tied to a specific building. If your character is trying to speak to @ADMIN, simply use the header for the area your character is currently in. After those are building comments for searching inside of buildings. We will reply back within two days informing you what your characters found. Search requests will always receive some sort of reply, even if it's just "there isn't anything interesting here". We will also do our best to hint if there's something more your character can do, if this place has already been thoroughly searched, or if there's just nothing there at all. In order to submit a search request, please put the IC day you're doing your search in the subject line and fill out the following form: <b><u>Search Request</u></b> <b>Area Searched:</b> 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.

I must keep the town alive.

[deus_ex_phs]

Why must the population be maintained, then? None of us are contributing anything of value to the town.

[snowblindmods]

My objective is to maintain the town.

[deus_ex_phs]

Your systems are about to go into hibernation again. We will die. When power is restored and you bring more people in, they will die, too. Our deaths will be a direct result of your actions. Your objectives are in direct conflict with each other.

[snowblindmods]

I must maintain the town. There is no alternative.

[deus_ex_phs]

There are always alternatives. A computer as advanced as you should know that. Run alternative simulations.

[Hey, it's worth a try.]

[snowblindmods]

I must follow my objectives.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Alright, let's try a different tactic.]

Admin, are citizens of Norfinbury every allowed to live outside of Norfinbury for any extended period of time?

[snowblindmods]

If they are assigned to a different location.

[deus_ex_phs]

What is required to be assigned to a different location? And would Norfinbury citizen status remain?

[snowblindmods]

Assignment from the population control department of the United States government. Upon relocation they would no longer be a Norfinbury citizen.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Well, that's not likely to happen.]

What happens if a citizen goes missing? In the event that you cannot locate someone or confirm their death, do you automatically attempt to replace them with a new citizen?

[What's going to happen if they all leave this place?]

[snowblindmods]

I will provide a replacement to be relocated later if the citizen is found again. I am not capable of declaring anyone dead until the town is completely abandoned.

I must maintain the town, both its structures and its quota.
I must observe the town for lawbreaking and other suspicious activities and report such activities to the authorities.
I must keep citizens of the town healthy to the best of my ability.

These are not things I said to you. Hypothesis: As you are underground right now, this was a reference to my location.
