Keep the questions coming - we'll post answers on mechanics closer to the event.
Shannon - You can choose to attend one part, the other, or both, and pay appropriately. So you can pay for the normal weekend ($45), the Extended Portion only ($40), or both ($85). You don't need to be there to pay for them and get the build, however - you can "back-buy" like for other special events. (So you can show up for just the weekend, but spend the extra $40 for the +4 build.)

Build amount question.
Extended Portion gets us 4 build +2 optional purchased, and the weekend is as per normal event. Does that mean we can also buy the normal +1 optional build for the weekend itself, technically allowing us to purchase an extra +3 build for the entire event?
Related question: will there be extra SP conversion for the Extended Portion or just the normal for a regular event?

If you attend both portions of the event, will you need to do two shifts of Camp Cleanup as well? I don't expect Cabin Cleanup can be done twice, but...

We're not planning on packing up, and then unpacking again, on Friday.
That being said, we ARE asking people to maintain clean cabins and atmosphere during the whole event. This is a chance to decorate and show off your IG home - please don't wreck it with flats of soda and candy wrappers!

Learning will be for the whole weekend, as one event - if you learn any skills, you will not be able to use them until they July event, as normal.
Remember that the intent of this event is NOT two back-to-back regular events - this is supposed to be the every-day life leading up to a Baronial Feast. It's not a separate event as far as your PCs are concerned, although we're breaking it up into sections for the purposes of paying, and gaining build. Your character would still need to practice, etc. between events like they normally would.
Also, the other intent of this event is that it gives you a chance to do all the things you don't normally get a chance to do, due to plot, NPCs, etc., such as talk to your teachers. We highly encourage you to attempt to find teachers In-Game first, and role-play with them as normal. If there's no one available to teach you, approach a Staff member, and we'll look into it. (For example - we won't send a teacher out for 1HE, Literacy, etc. - they're easy to find.) We will not cheapen good role-play by sending out an NPC teacher to bypass a PC in the town, if one is available.
(Also, if you piss off your teacher In-Game, we will not cover for you and send out another one. There are consequences for your actions.

The extended portion is separate from the Weekend, so you could convert 200 for the Extended portion, and an additional 400 for the weekend, for a total of 600 SP / 6 Build.
I'll defer to James on this one.

If I use this as an excuse to start an alt and my SP rollover is 4, do I get the 400 sp converstion or the 200 sp conversation for the extended portion?
8 ) As another incentive for the extended portion of the event, you will be allowed to convert SP for that separately from the regular portion of the event. For the extended portion you can convert 200 SP to 2 build regardless of character blanket.
The extended portion is separate from the Weekend, so you could convert 200 for the Extended portion, and an additional 400 for the weekend, for a total of 600 SP / 6 Build.
If I pay to play PC and NPC the entire extended portion, what is the rate of SP/Build or are you just giving 250 sp an hour in totality?
I'll defer to James on this one.

Rules Logistics for the "Week in the Life" event
The following conditions and modifiers will apply to the rules for the Week in the Life event. For the most part, these are designed to give the most benefit to the player, while still maintaining game balance, and ease of logistics, during the event.
The following rules are exceptions or clarifications to the above:
Details on the Kitchen will be posted in the next few days.
The following conditions and modifiers will apply to the rules for the Week in the Life event. For the most part, these are designed to give the most benefit to the player, while still maintaining game balance, and ease of logistics, during the event.
- All per-event abilities (skills, invokeable effects, abilities that bring you out of Critical, etc.) reset on Friday during the hold, and may be used again during the normal weekend portion.
- All abilities that last more than one period last the entire duration of the Week in the Life event (Valence spells, benefits from Mass, Fates, Traps that have been set during the extended portion, etc.).
- All abilities that last the duration of "the event" last for both portions of the Week in the Life event (Rituals, etc.).
- Abilities that are used at check-in may be used at BOTH check-ins, on Wednesday night and Friday night (Loan Shark, Smuggling, etc.).
The following rules are exceptions or clarifications to the above:
- All lasting changes and notes to your character should be made on the regular character card, including learning skills & points. The "extended" card will not be turned in at the end of the event. Effects that cover both portions of the event should be written on both cards.
- Skills, Abilities, and Point learned during the extended portion of the event are still being learned for the rest of the event - they may not be used on the weekend portion (i.e. - your card is not updated between portions of the event).
- Learning Higher List Skills: You may learn one new, and one aready learned higher list skill during each portion of the event. You MUST be present and role-play the learning at that portion of the event to make use of this! (i.e. - if you do not learn the new skill during the extended portion, you cannot learn two new skills, even if you were present for it).
- Fates may only be purchased once for the whole event. Those with lasting effects last the whole Week in the Life event, those that let you purchase something (Trinket, Materials, Skills) may only be purchased once. If you choose not to buy them during the extended portion (or earn SP you want to spend), you may purchase them at the Friday check-in.
- Commodity Cards and Lifestyle build may only be collected and turned in once during the Week in the Life event.
- Wild Mages: Wild Mages will have their spells re-randomized during the hold on Friday. Wild Mage Packets will also refresh during this time.
Details on the Kitchen will be posted in the next few days.
