Hey all, it's August 11, and y'all know what that means: today the Festival begins~!

It'll start with the opening ceremonies, after which the individual location threads will be posted. You don't need to start new threads for your characters for this event, just reply to your desired location thread to start a scene (the subject of your initial comment should include the time of day it takes place). We're gonna use multithreaded posting format in those threads, so just reply to the comment of the character in front of you in the scene. Thread-hopping is both likely and fine.

Following a posting order is kind of semi-optional for the location threads, given that there will probably be a lot of character entrances and exits. Just be considerate, and we should try to keep in touch with each other OOC as best we can to keep this event running smoothly. I encourage everybody to frequent the OOC chat, and I encourage those who already do to invite other players in.

The Opening Ceremonies thread takes place about 9 in the morning, so if your character arrives late they will probably miss it. Granted, it is perfectly fine to retroactively say they were there, even if you the player miss the first few days of the event (and with the hiatus notices I've seen I expect a few people will). The Mayor will be present in this thread, so~

After that, whether you go to the OC or not, unless you are planning to hop the fence or somesuch please go to the Entrance post before posting in the others; it's the gate, you see. You're welcome to write the NPCs there yourself if you want so you can get through quickly, but remember, they aren't going to let your characters enter armed.

For your current threads, go ahead and backlog. It's probably a good idea to work out how to transition things smoothly with the players you're threading with, though.

Oh also. Since it's all based on locations and stuff, ( I made a map. HARDCORE. )

I think that's it. Um. If I forgot anything, please remind me!

Apparently the map disappeared at some point, so I uploaded my copy to Photobucket to post here for reference.

( Cut for your sanity. )

Okay boys and girls. I spent a good part of my day producing A NEW MAP OF PAIXAO, re-gridded and re-numbered, and redrawn by yours truly. D:

There's a load of new fun places to play! I just need to add their descriptions, which I will take care of tomorrow or something. Please lemme know if you need your stuff moved around or something... >>

This weekend I am going to try to revamp the extensive info section. Revise rules, locations, and the intro possibly maybe. I also need to edit the map accordingly, and need to know where all of the new stuff is!

So, I need to know the EXACT location (give me a number and a letter using this map) of additions to Paixao; this include's Cid's place, Morrigan's mansion, the fortress, etc...

Is there anything else I'm missing? Locations of mass destruction? D: And I need to add in exactly where the lion statue to the jungle is...

Okay, well, because ANG TOLD ME TOOO~

I ran over to Bravenet and did one of their stupid guestmaps. PLAYERS, PLACE YOUR PINS!!!


GO! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

So, yis. This will probably help dorks with fscking strange timezones (like me) figure timezones out, anyway.

New map! Not only do we have grids, but numbers and letters! Now you can specify your locations more... specifically. :P

kurosakionefive did it! :D

The map is now gridded so you guys know how long it takes to travel to places. The train, I've decided, also has multiple stops along the way between the center and gates, so that four hour round trip? It will take a lot longer.

Here is the edited map.

ALSO. There is a new means of transportation! RICKSHAWS. And various types of bikes you can buy or.. steal, or pay someone to ride... These are ran of course by the people of Paixao and are all over the damn place, like taxis. It'll make getting around places not near the train much easier... but it costs MONEY!

There you go.

What's the scale of this map?

Either the city is smaller than I thought, or the dead travel fast? XD

No, it's cool. I was just wondering, like, how many miles between gates or whatnot.

I see cross-overs of various gate entrants are already happening.

Larxene, where is the coffee shop she found? Anywhere near Nippleheim still?

I'm about to make a bleedy post for Riku, and anyone who feels like it and is in the area can jump in.

Or not. ^^
