WARD FAILURE RULES

The student body is oblivious to the fact that someone has begun researching and investigating the journal network. Their orders? Get access, don't let anyone know. Their attempts to do so will have unfortunate consequences for the student body.

HOW THIS WORKS

PLEASE READ ALL RULES CAREFULLY! We don't want to have to scold anyone for breaking them. :(

Starting tomorrow (March 7) wards will be potentially subject to failing due to MACUSA interference with the journal system. Their attempts at surveillance and bypassing the journal security will fail, but will also cause grave errors in the journal network.

MACUSA will not be able to gain access or read what's behind wards, but the contents of a number of warded conversations will be revealed on the morning of March 9. Martin Pratt will inform students of what happened later that evening. Following this, all wards will be secure again, possibly with extra security measures.

Any wards written on March 7 or 8 are qualified to have failed if all players involved consent. We're trusting you to get permission on your own, but if someone submits a ward for failure that you didn't agree to or feel comfortable with, inform the mods ASAP.

If you want a ward to fail, you must submit it to this post with the names of the characters involved, and a short, specific description of the content. This will let your fellow players quickly see what's going on for maximum drama! Don't be vague!

If your failed ward is directed at a large group, just so you don't literally have to contact everyone who plays a girl or every sophomore or whatever, you can simply add an OOC disclaimer that says something like "[OOC: If you reply to this post, you're agreeing to be part of a failed ward.]"

On March 9, we'll post an IC/OOC which will announce when the wards fail, contain a list of the failed wards, and provide opportunities to write scenes in the aftermath. Don't react to failed wards until this post goes up.

Any wards not on that list will be considered safe, normal and private. Please be responsible for yourself, both when it comes to submitting failed wards on time, and checking to see what wards failed that your character is allowed to react to.

In the aftermath, failed wards may not be replied to. Please create new posts to discuss the plot so we can maintain forward motion on the comm, and link to the failed ward in question. You'll thank us when you're reading the game nostalgically a year from now.

Until March 9, all wards will appear normal and functional. Again, do not react to failed wards until the mod post goes up indicating phase 2 of the event is in progress.

Any wards written on March 9 will be secure. This is so that phase 1 and 2 of the event don't overlap.

All failed wards must be started and submitted by Thu, Mar 8 at 11:59 PM MT. No exceptions!

You can forward-date failed wards today if your schedule's a bit of a crunch, but you may not backdate failed wards after March 8!

You may respond to and discuss reactions on this post.

Don't be shy to ask questions if you don't understand the system, or think you might have an edge case!

» FAILED WARD SUBMISSIONS: If you have a ward you want to be revealed, submit it here with the following form.

Who: List all characters in the ward.
What: In one sentence, explain what was discussed. The more specific and honest you are, the more responses you're likely to get.
Link: Please give us a link to the warded conversation.
Did you receive permission from all parties involved?: Everyone in the ward must agree to being submitted for ward failure.
Anything else?:

my potential list of topics so far:

- how is the joint senior project going?
- what do we do after graduation?
- how do we stop freddy from turning into a juvenile delinquent? was there a way to convince him to go to ebonhide instead? how seriously did we fail him here?
- comparison of big fish bonding vs. adult fox bonding, and why are we so damaged by our parents that we can't bond with people in a normal way? with a point by point comparison of why each one of our housemates is awful.
- why is notoriano's hair so big? will rosy finally admit that she's flirting with him because that's fuckin flirting, your brother knows what you flirting looks like rosemary
- is dating in high school really worth it if you're just going to break up after graduation?
- which of the seniors are going to get knocked up before graduation? sy attempts to get through this speculative convo without exposing that he knows jack shit about sex
- are you fuckin going to prom with notoriano?
- is it stupid to care about prom when we're all just going to die at the end of this year because senior year is shaping up to be a battle royale beatdown between mimics vs. ghosts vs. moose vs. macusa vs. teachers?
- dude, is there any merit to ferdie's warning for us to watch what we say?

if they're all going to die at the end of this year then what's wrong with rosy going to prom with a cough drop flavored cupcake sylvester

Is he a halls menthol cough drop or a ricola herbal cough drop.

he's an unwrapped generic store brand cough drop I found on the floor.

Accurate.

And yet you want to taste it anyway Rosemary.

Everyone in this school is a bad floor potion drinking disaster

Archie's next experiment: If I just leave a potion in a cool looking unlabeled bottle sitting on a trail, will someone pick it up and drink it?

Archie it could be in a red solo cup and the answer would be yes

I hope it's just Gatorade.

it's a sport potion

I have................ no excuses for her but she would appreciate your support

ursula will nudge the stars for rosy anytime she needs it

also hey I would be cool with forward dating this starting tonight if you want since my schedule is kind of wack right now and we have a lot of very important topics to cover.

But I can roll with whenever it gets going, I'm bringing a portable charger to work so I can phone tag at every route stop over the next couple days and not die early.

YES let's! I'm going to be busy for the next......... uh 7 hours apparently but I'll try to get some tags out to you if you start something ;3;

or i can start something but i won't be able to do it until tonight

I've got a couple hours left on the road but I'll try to get something going once I'm off work!

update: I am off the road wish me luck operating a Stoker now

Edited 2018-03-06 22:41 (UTC)

i have one (1) hour left of work but i'll be with you soon

One post in and Casper is ready to punch Sy square in the face. :') Good start, Sy.

lmao and this isn't even the stoker ward!

Edited (its a COMPLIMENT that sy wants to take him out) 2018-03-06 22:37 (UTC)

I KNOW. I'M SORRY. :') But...you know how Casper is about his boys and nobody outside of the ESBs is allowed to make forest abduction jokes without getting him seriously pissed off.
