ROUNDS 86 & 87

An emergency in the mines sends our intrepid heroes on a life-or-death mission to save the lives of trapped miners! But the situation is more dire than they could ever know, with their opposing team coming to finish the job...

Surface-side, meanwhile, there's a change of pace - the two teams are being forced to work together in order to safely deliver forty heads of bison to the Ranch: this is not a job for the faint of heart, however, and the bison they're herding don't always take well to being bossed around!

ROUND 86: Rescue or Ruin, Part 3

Location/s: Miner Flats

The Rescuers' goal is to investigate a cave-in at the mines and rescue any mining workers trapped below the surface. The more miners rescued, the higher the points. Not rescuing at least one miner will result in team failure.

Starting Jail: None. Players will be directed to Miner Flats and receive intel there.

Provided Intel:

An incomplete map of the mines, only accurate for the first two levels, of four total.

A list of missing miners, of whom there are five.

A probable location of the cave-in - level three, towards the back.

Suggested Supplies (note: you will have to source these yourselves):

Rope

Helmets with headlamps (available from Moloch von Zinzer)

Medical supplies

Sturdy clothes

Spelunking gear (available from Booker's)

~~~

The Hunters' goal is to take out the other team. Creativity is encouraged - the more creative a player's murder is, the higher their points. The trapped miners are not targets, the hunters are not required to rescue them, and no points will be lost for their deaths as collateral damage; however, actively choosing to kill them will result in points being deducted. Failing to kill at least one member of the opposite team will result in team failure.

This team's outset will also be forcibly delayed by 12 hours, starting from when the opposite team leaves, in order to prevent "the game being over too soon".

Starting Jail: None. Players will be directed to Miner Flats and receive intel there.

Provided Intel:

An incomplete map of the mines, only accurate for the first two levels, of four total.

A list of missing miners, of whom there are five.

A probable location of the cave-in - level three, towards the back.

The names of the opposite team members.

Suggested Supplies (note: you will have to source these yourselves):

Guns and ammunition

Dynamite (available in copious amounts around Miner Flats)

Rope

Helmets with headlamps (available from Moloch von Zinzer)

Medical supplies

Sturdy clothes

Spelunking gear (available from Booker's)

Hey everybody, welcome to Midpoint Saloon! We are super excited to have you here, you’re all marvelous people and have brought us a great cast of characters to torment play with :D

The intro log is now up RIGHT HERE for you to get to know your teams in a cozy, intimate setting… if you can call it that... and tonight the first broad mingle for everybody, at the actual town of Midpoint, will go up for everyone not on the same team to scope out the competition and maybe make some friends. Or enemies. Whatever! We’re not picky!

The main event logs for this round will go up on Monday, after giving you lovely folks time to acclimate to the setting and tag around a little. So no need to rush to the site of your scheduled misdeeds, there will be plenty of time for that.

Feel free to use this post to introduce yourselves! I know not everybody here knows everybody else yet, since you’ve been pulled from a few disparate places by your connection to the mods. Also feel free to ask us any questions you’d like, we made a thread for it below :) Questions directly related to your team missions can go on the Round 84 and Round 85 info posts.

Here’s to a great first round in a fun new playground, friends!

Love, your mods,
Gail and Maniette

ROUNDS 84 & 85

This month, expect a diverse show of skill when our wonderful Players find themselves split on two wildly different tasks! A small ensemble is set on kidnapping the bright and bubbly daughter of the Railroad Tycoon, Tiffany Jamesson, with another crack team rushing to stop them!

Meanwhile, a typical cargo delivery from Bank Town, home of all the gold in the Midpoint Arena, to the Ranch is waylaid by a group of bandits! Who will emerge victorious with the cargo - and their lives - in hand!!

ROUND 84: The Bounty of Tiffany Jamesson

Location/s: Tycoon Depot

The Kidnappers' goal is to kidnap Tiffany Jamesson, and extract at least $500 of funds in ransom (this can include gold, silver, goods, favors or points) from her father, the Railroad Tycoon. Success will be measured by the amount of ransom delivered by the end of round, and the length of time Tiffany has remained in Kidnapper custody. Failing to collect the target will result in team failure.

Do not kill Tiffany Jamesson, or there will be consequences.

Starting Jail: Sooey Jail (East-southeast)

Provided Intel:

A map of Tycoon Depot marked with Tiffany's residence, the Bullion Inn, the homes of two of Tiffany's servants, and a safehouse.

A rough schedule of Tiffany's usual routine.

Telegraph instructions for the ransom demand, along with two options for ransom drop locations.

Suggested Supplies (note: you will have to source these yourselves):

Guns and ammunition

Chloroform (rare)

Two-way radio boxes (rare)

Bribe funds

~~~

The Protectors' goal is to protect Tiffany Jamesson, daughter of Mr. Jamesson, the Railroad Tycoon. Retrieve her if she leaves your sight. Success will be measured by how long the team has Tiffany in their possession, with bonus points awarded for not disruption Tiffany's routine schedule. Failing to keep Tiffany in sight for more than three days, or her father being forced to pay the ransom for her safe return, will result in team failure.

Do not allow Tiffany Jamesson to be killed, or there will be consequences.

Starting Jail: Southern Point (South)

Provided Intel:

A map of Tycoon Depot, marked with Tiffany's residence, the Bullion Inn, and two options for ransom drop locations.

A rough schedule of Tiffany's usual routine.

Contact information for Mr. Jamesson, and a rough schedule of his routine.
