"Week in the Life" Event Details

NPC shift questions

1. If we want to do extra shifts during the week portion, do we have to sign up for them at check-in, or can we just show up to logistics and say "use me"?

2. Can we sign up for our regular weekend shift at the Wednesday check-in, or do we have to do that on Friday?

1) I would prefer the comfort of knowing when i'll have the extra hands, however beggars cannot be choosers, so if you randomly decide you want to switch to NPC mode, absolutely do it, and it will count as long as it fills a full time slot.

2) You can sign up for both, whenever you sign in.

Is the lake going to be available for swimification?

Depends on some varying factors. At the very least, fishing and boating will be allowed during the first half. We will try to allow swimming, but really come and find me before doing so, so I can determine if it is ok at the time or not. 

For the actual weekend part there is absolutely no swimming unless a lifeguard is present.

Some basic details about sign-in and start time for the first part.

- Sign in will begin around 5pm on Wed, and there will be no official opening ceremonies for this part. After you get your card, get in costume and get in game and do your thing. Ill start sending out a few random encounters as I find that I have NPCs and when I am not busy signing people in. Ill take the opportunity to say one last time, do not rely on the encounters to be your means of entertainment, instead embrace your characters mundane and relaxed RP with others.

- There will be a stack of blank index cards in logistics. If you would like to request a teacher for a skill or list you have been having trouble getting, very clearly write your name and character name on the card along with what you are hoping to learn. Higher lists themselves are not likely to be taught and there is no guarantee that a teacher will go out as a result of filling out the card, however we will make an effort to make it happen.

- At least twice each day I will be placing hidden treasures, boxes, satchels, essences etc.. out in the woods. So the moral of the story is if you go out once to find stuff and dont find anything it is entirely possible that an hour later there will be things in the places that you just looked.  We will be trying something new with locked boxes found in the woods. Some will have riddle locks that require you to find me to open, others may be locked and require you to bring the box to logistics to use the appropriate means of opening the box.

Will the process of making codices/manuscripts/tomes be able to be done over the two portions of the event or only once during the event total?

The reason I ask is it isn't really something you have on your card as a skill you are learning.
