METAPLOT #2 - CLOSED!! The Dragon continues the attack!!

[Eftemie]

The METAPLOT

Dates :
Monday, January 10 Time: 1PM EST to TBA Place: This thread.
Tuesday, January 18 Time: 1PM EST to TBA Place: Metaplot forum
Wednesday, January 26 Time: 1PM EST to TBA Place: Metaplot forum

Yes, three more dates. Each metaplot date is a one day only event that lasts 12 hours long but may be extended. Then you will have several days before the next section of the metaplot begins. This is so that if you cannot make one date, there is perhaps another you can make.

It also gives time for a new thread to be prepared for each section of the Metaplot. Anyone will be able to jump in at any point without reading the previous threads. You miss half the story, but you could still play with some minor reading.

The metaplot is for everyone, including Lurkers, Owners, and Staff.
So please join in for fun and a chance to win a rare ghostling.

Posting Rules

Each post (2-3 short paragraphs) will be a chance encounter with a ghostling. Perhaps one from the previews that have been dropped into the thread, perhaps one never seen before. Those who finish their premeta quests before the metaplot starts will have a serious advantage on these encounters. So get those quests finished.

Times are tentative and may run longer than 1 AM EST if the activity is there. Please read all the information when joining in to make it fun for everyone.

How To Play:

1. Write an RP post of at least 2-3 paragraphs like you would any other RP. Turns do not matter but do not post one right after your own. Let others take a turn before you reply again.

2. WHEN you post, roll 1 -100 sided dice. That gives you one chance per post to hit a number on the list below. If you do roll one of the numbers, that gives you an encounter. For courtesy, the story stops during an encounter until either the creature has escaped or been captured. So be aware of the other players, please.

3. For those who completed their metaplot quests, you will have an increased chance at getting an encounter. You will roll 2 -100 sided dice giving you two chances per post to get a correct encounter number. You will also get a perk on catching the ghostling. To be named when the metaplot starts.

4. More than one number rolled during a post does not mean you get more than one encounter. You are rolling for one encounter per post no matter how many chances you have to hit a number in that post.

5. Have fun! There will be a METAPLOT NPC post whenever I need to move the story. This NPC may reply between as part of the story and interact with you. You will know the metaplot reply because it will be colored RED. Any NPC interaction will be in RED.

6. Do not edit your posts. You need to write your rp and roll at the time you post it to the thread. These are attempts for encounters and what you post does not matter except whether you get a number that gives you an encounter.

Encounter list: (25 numbers total that can be an encounter)

2, 4, 7, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 24, 29, 34, 37, 41, 46, 50, 52, 62, 65, 73, 76, 83, 85, 88, 92, 97

Encounter Rules

After you have rolled a number that matches the above list, post this form to stop the metaplot.

I needz to capture this sucker!!! Stop!!

[color=red][size=18][b]I needz to capture this sucker!!! Stop!![/b][/size][/color]

This will stop the metaplot exactly where it is. Someone (Eftemie most likely) will then post your encounter after checking. You will get one chance to catch it or it will escape. Those who have perks will have an advantage. But don't worry, if not caught, it simply appears again later. XD

To catch a ghostling, you RP out your attempt whether it is coaxing it to you, trapping it in a cage, or trying to rope it, bribing it with sweets. The action is yours, but the success depends upon a roll. As you post, ROLL 1 -10 sided dice. If you get a 6, you have successfully trapped it. If you roll a perfect 10, you get to retry.

For those who have perks... You get to ROLL 2 - 10 sided dice. If you get either a total of 6 or 13, you have successfully trapped your ghostling. It is their badluck, not yours. XD

IF Total 10 or 20 (for perks) is rolled, you get a second chance to try.

The short version....

If you roll One dice
2, 6 = capture
10 = retry

If you roll Two dice
double numbers like 1, 1 or 2, 2 = capture
total 6 = capture
total 13 = capture
total 10 = retry
total 20 = retry

Everything else = fail

Again do not edit your posts unless asked to do so.
