Task Board: September
| In addition to the standard business jobs, there are also independent jobs, or "tasks," that can be done by anyone. These jobs are posted in a large central bulletin board located in a building called The Task Center in Merchant's Square. It's overseen by a group who collects the fees, posts the listings, monitors who takes what, and gives the appropriate payment. These are more "mercenary" like in the sense that anyone can post one and anyone can take it. They range from asking for a helping hand to run an errand to gathering a hard to get item to exterminating a dangerous monster roaming too close to farms. Some jobs may even be related to the plot or an event. Jobs are an excellent way to not only get money, but also to create emotion drops because most jobs require more than one person. Even if the job itself could be done solo, it is still possible to bring in a friend to help. Unless the job specifies, there is nothing preventing the job taker from asking for aid. We do encourage that those taking the more "quest" like jobs to bring in a partner. In addition, characters are free to create their own businesses (and subsequently their own tasks), and we double the task board as a way to keep track of them. Feel free to play around with the jobs. Some can even become mini plot events with the right people, and players can create jobs in relation or as a reaction to a posted job. You don't have to feel like you need to restrict yourself to the small blurb in the description, either, so have fun with it! For more information on the task board, see this post. |
| LEGEND: White for Verens. Yellow for Shaarnath. Pink for Theasthai. Light blue for Briarlan. Red for Plot. Purple for Excursion. INSTRUCTIONS: Each task has a code: GT#### for General Tasks and ST#### for Special Tasks. Before, players had to OOCly sign up for particular tasks, but we've taken sign-ups down to make it easier for the playerbase. In the case of tasks related to player plots or tasks which have limited sign-ups, links to top levels will be provided for players to sign up their characters. When applicable, threads will be frozen once sign-ups for that particular task are closed. Questions about the tasks can be directed here. Task suggestions can be made here. In order to make sure that player-submitted tasks can be integrated into the Board in a timely manner, we ask that tasks be submitted no later than five days prior to the start of the coming month. Otherwise, it will be included the following month. Thank you! |
| GENERAL TASKS | ||||
| GT0901 | Professor Smoke | We are launching a new set of toys called the Monster Mashers. Come try out these Monster Mashers and battle it out with fellow players! Just be warned that all attacks are real… and they really do attack with food and candy. Don't eat it, though! They're toxic. Win five times and report back your findings! |
30 sylvs/battle | Open |
| GT0902 | Scarers Inc. | We wanna pull some pranks on some kids… Break into their rooms at night while they're asleep and scare them awake! Here are some memory crystals to record the event, because we want to collect their screams! | 150 sylvs/crystal | Open |
| GT0903 | Scholar Burchst | I’m conducting an in-depth study on Dunamis techniques employed by Otherworlders. Come to my house and show me what you can do, or bring a friend and have a Dunamis sparring or exhibition session together in my backyard. Just try not to break my house. Or my apple tree. | 100 sylvs and one free lunch | Open |
| GT0904 | Farmer Flaningham | Gotta work a second job to make ends meet, so I need folk who can watch my flock of sheep in the morning. Oh yeah, my fence is broken and I haven’t fixed it, so better make sure none of them escape. | One dressed sheep per person | Open |
| GT0905 | Mister Sandman | Our city is filled with so much sand, but what if there's a city underneath the city??? Wouldn't that be amazing? Come to Shaarnath and do some digging! Try to look for foreign objects that might be evidence that there was a city buried here! | 500 drasks/submission | Open |
| GT0906 | Anonymous | Matthew Floyd Ebber, Linnuel Firanda, and our other playwrights keep The Great Amphitheater busy with all the plays held in it. It’s too bad that big crowds also mean big messes! Help us clean up the wrappers, empty food containers and fliers, among other things...because it won’t take long for the next play to start soon! | 150 sylvs/shift | Open |
| SPECIAL TASKS | ||||
| ST0901 | CTRI | The CrystalTech Research Institute is looking for Otherworlder inventors who are interested in learning and helping advance research into crystal based technology. We have a few prototypes and ideas we'd like to share and test, and all credit and licensing will be appropriately given. We also welcome anyone who would like to try out some of our newest inventions. [OOC: A log involving this task with specific prompts will be posted on 9/07] |
Contracts for inventors/engineers; 300 sylvs for testers | Open |
| ST0902 | Boltmind Corps. | Last month the new model airship "E-Motions" was released to the public. Most of them are harmless, but several have been taken to be modified to be more dangerous and even deadlier. Modified E-Motions powered by negatively charged crystals are circulating through the black market and are capable of releasing explosive blasts and even fire real bullets. All E-Motions have been recalled so please be aware and confiscate any you find. | 200 sylvs for unmodded; 1000 sylvs for modded | Open |
| ST0903 | Jacques Haines | I have heard of illegal poaching of an elusive breed of sand rays that live in the far desert outside of Shaarnath. They are similar to the marine version of manta rays, but they are small and skim across the sand surface when not burrowing underneath. Commonly known as "leopard rays," their sand-colored hides and dark brown spots allow them to blend in with their surroundings easily and they are very fast. Instead of a traditional barbed tail, the end resembles a small cactus. Although not poisonous, they can fling the needles out as self defense. Please help these beautiful creatures and stop these poachers! If any rays are injured, please bring them back to the reserve stationed in the oasis so that we can heal and rehabilitate them so they can return to their natural habitat. | 80 drasks per poacher caught; 30 sylvs for any injured rays brought back or helped | Open |
| ST0904 | Matthew Floyd Ebber | I’ve finally finished my script for my new musical play, “Romaine and Julienne and the Chalice of Love”! But a musical needs actors, and they must be able to sing! Come and audition for parts in my play and let’s put on some shows throughout Theasthai! We’ll be running for the entire month! | 500 sylvs/show | Open |
| ST0905 | Fyxit Wells | My shop is still a mess after last month's thefts and parts are still disappearing. The new surveillance system is still on order so I need some people to help with security detail. I also need help gathering some steel from the old mines to replace the inventory I lost. Finally, I'm testing a new spray paint gun that works off feelings of joy and humor, and I have a big order of special painted panels. For some reason it works better in Theasthai, so I'll pay anyone who is good with those emotions and can take some pieces to a designated spot to help paint. [OOC: those on security detail may occasional spy a weird shadow, but are unable to catch any real thieves. They may catch a cat or two, though.] |
200 sylvs (for all) | Open |
| ST0906 | Beastmaster Hunting Guild | I think everyone’s sick of fighting ghosts and hearing about that stupid story about julienned fries and romaine lettuce - oh, was that wrong? Sorry. Anyway, once all those ghosts have ghosted their ghostly butts out, let’s get back to cleaning up some monsters. Doggor: The size of a Great Dane, a Doggor is easily distinguished from normal dogs by its very sharp, bluish-black claws, bright red eyes, propensity for picking fights and a growl that seems to reverberate through your very being. They smell fear and have been known to gravitate toward areas that elicit fear, like dark, empty caves, areas rumored to be haunted, and the densest, most treacherous woods. Be careful; a bite or scratch from a Doggor will cause a person to become extremely anxious or paranoid for twenty-four hours. They can only be killed by blades made of pure silver wielded by people with pure courage. Giant Eel: This invasive species, which can grow up to seven or eight feet long, was introduced into Lake Niras by inexperienced apprentices who thought it would help keep the frog population down. Unfortunately, the Giant Eel, which has colorful fronds and sharp teeth, has begun to terrorize many other species in the lake. Catch them for us; they’re very tasty and used in a variety of dishes. "Dinosaur": We don't want you to actually kill a "Dinosaur", but we've heard that their dung can be used for energy. Get about 50 kilos of "Dinosaur" dung from down below and we'll send 'em to Briarlan so they can convert it. Just be warned: it looks like "Dinosaurs" are a lot more aggressive this month! |
1,000 sylvs per Doggor 750 sylvs per Giant Eel 5,000 sylvs per kilo of dung |
Open to groups of 2 or more. |
QUESTIONS
Re: QUESTIONS
Can the people testing the toys keep them when they're done? How many can they have, like can they get a little team of toys to battle other people with? Also for clarification purposes, do they literally look like the pokesweets foodmons or are they more generic where the pokemon people wouldn't recognize their similarities to real pokemon?
Wait, also how big are these toys??
no subject
1) They can keep the toys when they're done!
2) Each person can get 1 toy max. They're just prototypes, after all, so there aren't that many released yet.
3) They look like Pokesweets except their eyes are a bit more generic like buttons.
4) The toys are about 5-10 inches in height, depending on the type!
