June Midmonth Rolls
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 12:38 am
It's that time... time for the very first rolls of V5.
Before we get to that, however, I'm going to take a few moments to remind everyone of some changes to the rules regarding conduct in rolls threads and death timelines. This is all very important, so please read it carefully. The exact rules changes may be found here and here.
If you are rolled, you are allowed to post asking for a save once in this thread. Further posts asking for Heroes will be deleted, and staff will consider stronger sanctions for repeat offenders.
You may, however, post multiple times requesting PMs for death ideas. We strongly recommend that you do not wait until card time is over to start planning deaths, as doing that tends to cause them to run overtime.
If you are not rolled, you may post in the thread only for official business (such as playing a Hero Card). You may absolutely not post asking for kills, and doing so will result in an extremely grumpy staff.
You may not PM people asking them to Hero you, here or on chat. Harassment relating to cards was a big and annoying problem during V4, so we're putting an official end to it. On a very related note, you are not allowed to send unsolicited PMs asking for kills. If someone has not posted in this thread or directly told you that they want ideas for kills, then PMing them is explicitly against the rules. It means they have an idea and are PMing the people involved themselves, and if that's happening, it's really annoying to be bombarded by requests for a kill.
As with the other rules, violating these will have serious and dire repercussions. Staff has the ability, for example, to turn off a handler's ability to use the PM system if they cannot use it responsibly.
Hero deals are no longer recognized, and are not to be requested/posted about anywhere on the boards.
Also, because deaths ran ridiculously late in V4, we have a new deadline system, which I will summarize:
If a death goes over deadline (including an extension if one is granted), then it will count as the character going inactive, and will result in the handler being sent an inactivity warning. This is their one and only warning, and functions exactly like a typical one, meaning that the handler cannot adopt through the official system unless they have no living characters left, and also that if any of their characters go two weeks without a post, they will become terminally inactive and be killed/put up for adoption. Handlers who have already been warned will not be warned again or declared terminal as a result of blowing the death deadline.
That said, any death not complete by the end of the following death period (that is, any death from these rolls not completed by the end of the deadline for deaths from the first announcement) will be immediately taken over by SOTF_Help, will count as terminal inactivity on a handler's record, and will be handled in the most expedient manner possible, even if that contradicts previously established plans. The only exception to this is if a handler is Away for the entire span of time surrounding the current rolls, in which case they will be given slightly more leeway. Any death that runs two sets of rolls over, however, will be handled through Help even f the handler is Away.
If a killer is holding up a scene, we recommend you find other plans. However, if it's a huge issue, feel free to contact staff, and we'll see what we can do.
With that out of the way, on to the people dying!
We conducted eight rolls, which are as follows:
#1: Sven Olson (Mimi)
#2: Kelly Peterson (bacon)
#3: Gabriella Parker (Slamexo)
#4: Kam So'oialo (Namira) - Dan Liu (bacon, Hero Card used)
#5: Alice Gilman (dmboogie) - Daniel Whitten (dmboogie, Swap card used)
#6: Lauren Rowe (Iceblock) - David Zimmer (Bikriki, Hero card used)
#7: Brian Zhdanovich (Fioriboy) - Jason Meyers (leAloha, Hero card used)
#8: Mark Little (Stark)
As always, the period for playing cards is three days (seventy-two hours) from now. A further seven days is allotted for completing deaths.
