Fourth Wall Day
Come on in here for all your fourth wall needs.
Fourth Wall Day.
So September in the Sphere is gonna be a fourth wall month. I’m putting up the plotting a little early so that people can do that whole planning thing as well as possibly doing some recruiting on the EMP meme when it comes out on Saturday! The plot will run from September second until October first but no fourth wall character needs to be here that long. Instead, they can poof in or out depending on the player’s inclination and stuff.
How this works on a plot level.
Plot wise: the Sphere will have been trying out some things in order to send people home, as its promised to do. Unfortunately, do to a miscalculation on its part, the actions that the Sphere takes instead draw people in, and it does it in a relative sort of mass. The characters who arrive as fourth wall visitors, will not be arriving in the podded beds in the domes. Instead, they’ll basically be arriving wherever the players want them to, including people’s private domes, etc. The idea is to have a little fun with this mechanic! By October first, this will mean that characters who aren’t apped in will simply disappear before the time the clock strikes twelve, returning to their own worlds, and current characters including those who’ve chosen to app will just be stuck here until the Sphere fixes things.
During the month long event, the council will be putting visitor characters in the two unused dorms in the housing area. Should the amount of characters exceed that, then the council will just urge people to “great creative.” Food amounts, water and oxygen has always been based on the amount of people in the Sphere, so more people are totally fine for all of those.
How Fourth Wall Works on an OOC level.
- Any sort of characters are welcome during the fourth wall event, save for the ones that current players have requested not be welcome! (Yes this includes AUs, doubles, CR AUs, pretty much all sorts of things like that!) A list of characters requested not to have happen will appear at the bottom of this post. Requested and offered characters will be in the plotting comments below.
- Visitor characters will arrive in town any time after 12:01 on September second, and their arrival will be where they chose. There will be an open log that will go up at that time for any in person interactions that players wish to have. There will be no second plot log this month in order to keep the focus on the Fourth Wall Day event shenanigans.
- Visitor characters can reply to that log with their characters. Additionally, visitor characters can reply to the network, but find themselves unable to make posts of their own. Posts from the entire time that Sphere has been running are fair game, including memory shares if player characters wish to point them out to anyone. Or if visitor characters tend to be investigatively minded.
- Visitor players are definitely welcome to keep backtagging their threads around fourth wall for as long as they’d like to! There’s not a limit on that.
Rules for everyone to keep in mind during Fourth Wall.
- Play nice. This is the most important rule, obviously. This should be a fun event, any OOC harassment will not be tolerated.
- If a character is on the DNW list. Don’t bring them. It doesn’t matter if it would be funny or whatever. Just don’t that makes you a jerk, and you’re violating the first rule of fourth wall day which is to play nice. People have reasons for not wanting those characters, even if you don’t know what it is.
- Characters not currently in the game will vanish at the stroke of midnight on October first. So does anything that they brought with them, including animals etc. Anything that they may have made or messages or letters or whatever will definitely stick around.
- Only characters apped within a week of end of the fourth wall will be able to be applied with their Fourth Wall memories. This is just to make sure that everyone’s all on the same page.
