IV. PLOT EVENTS
Here at Amphigory, the main plot moves on whether you
want it to or not. While you obviously have quite a bit of room
outside of it to do your thing and run your subplots, there will
be designated plot events. This is how they'll work.
An event will typically be announced in advance, and will
be accompanied by an event check-in thread. If you check in
to the plot event, you will be expected to actively participate
in the event through roleplay. While this is expected to be
done in a timely manner -- it'd be a little rude to start
responding to an event only after it ends -- we understand
that things can be unpredictable, and your time frame is
flexible enough.
Checking in for an event also means that you may be
personally called to an event-specific thread. The check-in
guidelines of an event will let you denote which sorts of
occurrences your character could face, and how major the
final effects of the event on them can be.
When the event actually occurs, a new category will be
opened on the board for the duration of the event.
Here, event-specific threads calling checked-in users
and open event-specific threads will be posted by the
admin(s) running the event. You can post new threads and
interactions within this category to ensure they take place
during the span of the event. However, you may also request
that an admin enacts a plot event upon any existing thread,
as long as both participants agree.
Active participation in events at Amphigory is not
mandatory, however it's extremely encouraged. What is
mandatory is that a plot event affects your character,
regardless of whether said character had an active thread
related to the event. These events affect all of Amphigory,
and you're no exception. There's a reason it's a dynamic
plot, after all.
If you have any questions, post an inquiry thread or
contact an administrator.
