The Fate of Sunday Gameplay

I've only been to 2 events so far, but from the ones I was at, I got the impression that lay-on was more than just the arbitrary time when the game starts. It's the official start of the weekend! It's the countdown to that magical, mystical moment when OOG camp daddy-allen or wherever we are turns into Travance!

Missing it is like missing opening prayer for mass... or something. And besides, this thread isn't about what we do on friday, it's about what we do on sunday!

....right?

What we need to help with lay-on, sundays, and a great new way to get KR even more popular.... take a page from modern technology and business today.

Introducing KR On Demand Service! 

That's right.  As soon as you get to camp, or on Sunday, or whenever you feel like it... order a KR mod on-demand and enjoy!    All you need is your character, the right equipment, and a blank check made out to James C Kimball and soon you'll be enjoying the latest mods and on-demand service that is available.*

[size=6pt]* on-demand service is not liable or a promise of actual mods, but a way to entice James and the rest of staff to get going on some stuff and to have fun/poke fun of the very idea of trying to please everyone all the time.  :-*[/size]

Ya not to be a wet blanket... but all the talk of earlier lay-on is really off topic The topic is about Sunday game play. 

Someone may have mentioned this but sunday seems that everybody gets up comfortably not as late as on sat morning, since after Main mod, not much happens and you can sleep, should there be massive things happening Sat-Sun night when people need the energy to drive, and at the same time, I have met resistance to people when sent to cabins as anything NPC on Sunday morning, but if it was a precursor to the next event I think people would be more up for it, and might create some great moments which could always be posted on the Dragonclaw board and the rumours, so that players feel they have something of news or conjecture about what is coming.

I have to agree that if Sunday mods are set up well then it can be very fun. As Sonya said earlier, the "Pyre Goose Chase" was pretty cool as far as involving plot on Sunday's, but that was the first event i played my gypsy so i was running around with no skills to see him and getting stuck on briars with all of my scarves. But i did have a blast (except for being allergic to evergreens and running into a bunch of them).

I usually just relax Sundays. Its a great time for me to catch up with higher level characters i'm friend's with IG but who were too busy off killing much scarier things than me lol. I also like to use Sunday as my "skill learning" time. Most of the time i go into an event having no clue what i want to learn and by talking to other players throughout the weekend and discussing what would be more beneficial to my character really helps me to figure out what skills i want to pick up. Plus certain things i won't learn until i have a god IG reason (i.e. picking up the Witch Hunter list). I knew i wanted to go Witch Hunter OOG and IG it seemed appealing as well, and so during the October event, Thomas and Pes killed Rayven so that gave me great IG reason to go Witch Hunter.

I have to say i really like Sundays because of the IG socializing and the learning opportunities even if i'm too low a level to find Pyre in a haystack i still usually have fun no matter what goes on!

Sundays:
A perfect wind down day, in which a single light/non plot related mod could be run. More of a day for learning things that you were unable to learn throughout the weekend or socializing with other PC's.

While I think it would be important to have a set in stone Clean Up Hold time so PC's know the time frames to work in, we shouldn't do away with Sunday. I find that ending the entire game on saturday night/very early sunday morning a bit anti-climactic and abrupt.

My 2 cents.
