Welcome to the information center for your character’s crappy days! 8D Yeah I’m serious. Turns out, I have the magical wand to make characters sick! >83 Now before you go planning on flinging me tomatoes or something, let me explain. I won’t be horrible and give you a cold, like say at the moment your character is going to kiss their true love, or give you appendicitis when your character is in a deep depression-heh no. Maybe before… or a day after for guilt-So on, so on.
Every week there will be a bug, disease, virus, etc, around the island. At some point, one or two characters will get sick of chosen illness. It won’t be something extraordinarily annoying, just something to change the routine.
Each character will be assigned a number –which you won’t know– and every week, I’ll choose a group of characters, say the most active characters of that week, and randomly pick one or two of those that will be affected by that week’s disease.
What your character does will also be accounted for. Details like being out in the rain, staying out late in the night air, etc, might have influence when picking the group of characters to pick through.
For example, let’s say Vlad is #9 and Yoakim is #13, and their numbers came out of the generator during the week that a cold was going around. If that’s the case, then I will be sending a message to the role-players to let them know, so both of these will be showing signs of a cold in the next role-play day, or the one they are currently doing.
Now, only flu, colds, and viruses will get boring after a while, so to spice things up, we’ll be throwing around a semi-serious illness once a month. This one will be completely random. However, whichever character it lands on, I’ll be keeping an eye on their activities so it doesn’t become too much drama. We don’t want a recently beaten character to have the plague at the same time.
Now if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me. Likewise if you already have plans with a character especially about illnesses let me know, so I can keep that in mind when sorting through the weeks.
So with all of that cleared up, I’ll be announcing each week what’s the disease to beware for and message those unlucky souls that will fall prey to it. >83
Update: However, I unfortunately fall into the claws of procrastination and life, which topple onto me to a point that I should be ashamed. So whenever I am too busy... yeah busy... we'll have them in perfect health. So no one loses, and then it doesn't pile up for me and the characters.
Update #2: This starting year (YEAR 2), the diseases will be changed from once a week, to biweekly diseases.
