The Village OOC

Game Closed

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 20:31:00 GMT

Posted by: villagemod

As of September 15th, The Village is now closed. Thank you for joining me on this year of spooky adventures while we weathered the horrors of the real world.

For now, remaining players will still have access to comment on community posts but not create new ones. Membership will be cleared at the end of September but posts will remain unlocked so you can continue to reference threads as needed.

I wish everyone all the best things in the future.

THE END BEGINS

Darkness descends, autumn returns, and something emerges from the ocean as another week passes in Mathias Township.

Please note that while this log covers 9 days, it has been divided into two parts. Players are requested to not firmly plan or write IC threads beyond the first 3 days until after September 5th. This is to give time for players and mod to address any questions, explorations, etc. and allow for this information to be factored into plans. There are many things that can be discovered in the second part of this log, as some locations may have changed and have new things to find.

Mod Poll: Upcoming log

Hello all. If you could take a few seconds to answer these two questions, I'd appreciate it! There's been a lot going on and I want to make sure the pacing is right for the most people.

(Posting this via my character journal because neither mod journal has a paid account and thus can't create polls.)

TO THE HIDEOUS END

The descent into madness is accelerating as more of Mathias's mysteries are revealed.

Once again, there are a lot of moving parts to this log. Ask questions if something is not clear! Please also make sure to check questions others ask, as well.

There are also multiple places where players may need to submit information for mod feedback. Responses to these will be prioritized to ensure everyone can move forward and get to the fun stuff.

PAGES OF POSSIBLE FUTURES

The future is set in motion once again.

There are a lot of moving parts to this log, as there will be for all logs going forward. Read the narrative and all OOC notes thoroughly and carefully. Ask questions if something is not clear, but please also look through questions others have asked for further clarification.

ASSIGN TO OBLIVION

Inexplicably, summer has arrived in Mathias, bringing with it new opportunities to explore and exceptionally strange circumstances as residents are brought back together.

Please note that, as detailed in the log, no items from home are available within this log period, regardless of how they were brought into the game. Effectively, during this time there is no physical proof to be found that characters ever existed anywhere outside of Mathias Township.

CR MEME #3
You know how these work. Use the copypasta to wax poetic about your character and your plans for them, then see what others are cooking up for their folks! The more details and ideas you provide, the easier it is for people to connect with you and get that delicious CR train moving.

Now, shoo. Make friends. Plan disasters. Have fun.

THAT MOMENT OF EXPERIENCE

A strange string of events kicks off with a storm to remember and will continue in the weeks to come with other unsettling elements.

To prepare for part ii, players should sign up for a group by Friday. And if you have not, this is the very last call for items and memories for all characters, new or old.

REGARDING PART II

For part ii of this "log series", we'll be doing things a little differently. Characters are going to be separated into groups and unable to reach others outside of their group for two days. Unlike the last time this sort of thing occurred, characters will not be confined to a particular location, so things are a little more freeform.

Please sign up your character for a group below, keeping in mind that while they will not have to interact with everyone in their group, they can only interact with people in the group for the duration of those two days. Additionally, groups will be capped at a max of 12 characters per group.

Anyone who doesn't sign up by Friday, May 28, will be automatically placed into a group.

GROUP A
1. Raylan Givens
2. Malcolm Bright
3. Tim Gutterson
4. Neal Caffrey
5. Doc Holliday
6. Negan
7. Callisto
8. Ainsley Whitly

GROUP B

4. Klaus Hargreeves

A BRIEF REPRIEVE

The unwilling residents of Mathias Township have been granted a brief reprieve from all the madness. Well, most of them have, anyway...

All wasn't quite ready for the Big Things ahead, so this is a little in-between log for everyone to catch their breath. Say hi to the new arrivals, go for a hike in the forest, or maybe throw rocks in the giant crack in the town. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled oddities soon!

preparing for the future

A FEW QUESTIONS

Hello all! In preparation for some upcoming plots, your mod requires some information from all of you. Yes, the list is a bit long, but there are lots of possibilities and I want to be able to offer you some potentially really fun things to dive into.

Please try to answer these as soon as possible and no later than Wednesday, May 5. Also, if you have friends you're trying to enable into the game, now would really be a great time to do so...

Outstanding question:
State of Gifts — did your character receive a "gift" in the rain on day 45-50?

Current log questions:
Town Hall fire — did your character see it happening?
History Museum fire — what about this one?
Stoker Park destruction — or how about this event?

If your character was not involved with any of these events, you do not need to reply.

Future log questions:
Items from home — hypothetically, for now
Memory sharing — also hypothetically

Please be sure to read those last two carefully for the specifics on applicable items or memories. If you wish to opt out of these potential future events, please reply and say so. And remember, nothing in Mathias happens as one would expect...

Also! A reminder that if you'd like to purchase/gift a History Revealed dream like this one for the next log, these need to be requested under Rewards before the log is posted.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

Hope you're ready to relive the same day over and over again, Mathias Township style.

Work is still busy and stressful, which is why I've been incredibly slow with mod things, and why this log isn't too exciting. There are more fun things on the horizon, though, I swear!

In the meantime, please answer these questions before the next log and make sure to note if your character is doing something drastic during Groundhog Day adventures.

For plotting comments, be sure to note where your character will be waking up each day and if they'll be getting up to any interesting shenanigans while testing the limits of these weird time loops.

GIFTS AND INTENTIONS

The fog has retreated and the rain comes bearing gifts... Though they may not be well-received.

Make sure to check your character's information on madnesses and housing and comment on those posts if changes are needed! There are quite a few details missing from both, please don't make me resort to pestering people for information.

And apologies for being especially slow of late, things are getting incredibly busy and stressful at work. I'm doing my best to keep up, but if I end up moving at a glacial pace, that's why.

Something is in the fog... Or someone. Enjoy seeing old and new friends in a terrifying light.

Also, please be sure to check your character's information on madnesses and housing and comment on those posts if changes are needed! And don't forget to report updates, especially to locations!

THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
In the wake of the Hunt, the living mourn and the dead try to survive.

A reminder to have a look at this post in regards to sanity loss from the Hunt and what is being done with the corpses of the Hunt's victims. Players will be informed if their character will gain a Madness — these will go into effect on Day 037.

THE HUNT'S AFTERMATH
The Hunt has left behind nine bloody corpses for the living to deal with. The ground is frozen, the bodies will be frozen before long, and everyone is just a little traumatized. What now?

Well, your mod needs a little more information so everything can be updated properly. So here is the list of casualties and the information I have and still need. Also, enjoy the handy map of where the bodies are located.

BOARDING HOUSE, outside
Daisy Johnson — being found by Ellie and buried aboveground with a pile of stones by Ellie and Five in the graveyard (day 36)

Klaus Hargreeves — being found by Number Five and buried aboveground with a pile of stones by Ellie and Five in the graveyard (day 36)

1305 PHILLIPS, outside
Eliot Spencer — being found by John Carter and covered with snow where he died (morning of day 36)

1306 PHILLIPS, outside/nearby
Neal Caffrey — being found by Malcolm Bright and Doc Holliday and buried aboveground with a pile of stones by Malcolm and Doc in the graveyard (day 36)

Negan — being found by Malcolm Bright and Doc Holliday and buried cremated on a makeshift pyre by Malcolm and Doc just far enough from the forest to not burn it down (day 26)

Raylan Givens — being found by Malcolm Bright and Doc Holliday and buried aboveground with a pile of stones by Malcolm and Doc in the graveyard (day 36)

BY THE FOREST, between Phillips/King
Max Guevara — being found by Bucky Barnes and buried in the ground by Bucky at the graveyard (morning of day 36)

GENERAL STORE, inside
Claire Novak — being found by Elena Gilbert and buried aboveground by Castiel and Sam Winchester (day 36)

Dean Winchester — being found by Elena Gilbert and buried aboveground by Castiel and Sam Winchester (day 36)

There are bits of information that need to be filled in by everyone — knowing who is doing what where will help me update things and also give everyone a better idea of CR opportunities. Who doesn't love bonding over the trauma of burying a friend or family member, right?

To update your information, please comment to the appropriate top-level below! Also, feel free to use the rest of this comment section to coordinate any efforts or plan your trauma party.

Of note: The morning of Day 36, Bucky Barnes will be using fire to thaw areas of ground near the new graveyard (marked by crosses on the map) to bury people, if anyone wants in on that.

SANITY LOSS
For the sake of your mod's sanity, here is a roundup of what I think is everyone's sanity loss for the Hunt; I'll update everyone's sanity totals rather than have everyone reply to that post individually. Since there was some guesswork involved, please double-check to make sure your character is in the right spot and comment to the top-level below to either note a change that needs to be made or to add your character to a list (such as those who have optional sanity loss).

As noted on the log: The Hunted will lose 5 points of sanity. Those Witnesses who find the corpses will lose 2 points of sanity, or 3 points if they are not unaccustomed to this type of sight. Others who are merely Witnesses to the sounds of Hunt may choose to lose 1 point of sanity as a result of the experience.

7 POINTS LOST
— Elena Gilbert

6 POINTS LOST
— Will Graham

5 POINTS LOST
— Eliot Spencer, Neal Caffrey, Negan, Raylan Givens, Daisy Johnson, Klaus Hargreeves, Claire Novak, Dean Winchester, Max Guevara, Alex Millar, Yennefer, Ellie, John Carter

3 POINTS LOST
— Melanie King

2 POINTS LOST
— Doc Holliday, Malcolm Bright, Sam Winchester, Elijah Mikaelson, Bucky Barnes

1 POINT LOST
— ???
