Daily events are specific, pre-planned interactive events that are NOT mentioned on the front page that often double as time-sensitive contests that are activated by the plot. A good number is at least one per day, at most three.

This will require working with the plot planning likely extensively and communicating with contest planning at the very least to allocate prizes and potentially for advice on setting these events up.

An example is one from two years ago when I attended the Noir Spy Dream; the plot involved color disappearing from the world and having to find three magic paintbrushes to return the color to the dream. Each paintbrush was found by solving a series of riddle-like events to determine the location and then using RNGs to determine who found the paintbrush within that area. (I don't expect something this elaborate in the small amount of time we have.)

Will the actual events happen in the actual room rp, or will there be a separate room for it?

They'll occur in the actual room rp as a part of the plot.

I remembered something when I submitted my co-host app about a plot idea and I think we could use it for a day:

The ship has all the amenities one could ever want for a life among the heavens. Though it seems in the past few years little mishaps have taken place. The cleaning robots have tried to sweep up people with the trash, and the cafeteria refuses to serve anything put that funky green veggie paste in a tube. Turns out the Main Computer is on the fritz and its up to you and a crew aboard the Ship to set things right.

Contest ideas
> Scavenger hunt: random picture posts in the character posts.
> Random number game: collect all the items needed to fix the computer. Do so by rolling dice and collecting all the items.
> Sing the computer a song: Everyone posts a phrase and it MUST rhyme.

For this section to be considered 'complete', all contest-events must be mentioned in the event-by-event room plot.

Additionally, all the contest/game details must be mentioned here. For example, the tour quiz details (mentioned in the sample room plot event linked to above) might look like this:


Tour Quiz Details
Event description: Leo will be leading spacewalk tour & Caprice will be teaching zero-grav dance lessons
How the game/contest works: Three questions will be asked; each question will have two winners, the first to answer correctly from Caprice's group and the first to answer correctly from Leo's.
What prizes will be given: Six prizes will be given total, each consisting of [INSERT GOLD AMOUNT HERE] gold
Who will post the contest description: SSLC Mainframe, speaking for Leo and Caprice
What the contest-introducing posts will say:

SSLC Mainframe (mule)
Amidst the sound of guests chatting came a electronic beeping tone followed by a Mechanical-sounding message.

"Zero-gravity dance lessons and a spacewalking tour of the outside of the space station will commence shortly. If you would like to learn to dance in a gravity-free setting, please follow Caprice to the null-grav sphere and pick up one of the belts with weights attached on the way in. If you would like to join the tour of the outside of the space station, please follow Leo to the Space-Suit Equipper and through the airlock."

Dance lessons and space touring mark the beginning of a plot-related contest! During the dance lessons and tour, there will be three questions asked. The first person to answer correctly in each group (dancing and touring) will be awarded [INSERT GOLD AMOUNT HERE] gold. You may win more than once within your group. You may answer in-character or out-of-character, it doesn't matter, but please bold both your answer and which group you are with, Leo's or Capricorn's.


SSLC Mainframe (mule)
In the null-grav sphere, Caprice addressed the visitors congregated within. Meanwhile, Leo did the same with his group just outside the airlock.

"Before we get started, let's go over a few principles to bear in mind. First of all, can anyone tell me Newton's Third Law?"


The first question, "What is Newton's Third Law?", has been asked. The first person to answer correctly in each group (dancing and touring) will be awarded [INSERT GOLD AMOUNT HERE] gold. You may answer in-character or out-of-character, it doesn't matter, but please bold both your answer and which group you are with, Leo's or Capricorn's.


SSLC Mainframe (mule)
"Good job, Capricorn's winner/Leo's winner! Next, what is the force that acts on Gaia to keep Gaians from simply floating as we are now?"


The second question, "What is the force that acts on Gaia (or Earth) to keep Gaians from simply floating as we are now?", has been asked. The first person to answer correctly in each group (dancing and touring) will be awarded [INSERT GOLD AMOUNT HERE] gold. You may answer in-character or out-of-character, it doesn't matter, but please bold both your answer and which group you are with, Leo's or Capricorn's.


SSLC Mainframe (mule)
"Good job, Capricorn's winner/Leo's winner! Finally, what would happen if you were to detach and throw one of the weights attached to your belt/waist of your spacesuit right now, in null gravity?"


The third question, "What would happen if you were to detach and throw one of the weights attached to your belt/waist of your spacesuit right now, in null gravity?", has been asked. The first person to answer correctly in each group (dancing and touring) will be awarded [INSERT GOLD AMOUNT HERE] gold. You may answer in-character or out-of-character, it doesn't matter, but please bold both your answer and which group you are with, Leo's or Capricorn's.


Other: Do not start this game until there are at least four people present in the room. Start trades with winners after the third question has been answered correctly by both groups.

Exkeyvating scavenger hunt



Description: Each attendee abord will be sent on a scavenger hunt to find a key. After a set amount of rolls, they will need to choose to turn left or right (clues will be given from co-hosts). They will keep rolling until they find their way to the library were they find the key. First person to find the key will get a prize. Then the game will be ended.

How to: Each player rolls a dice from 0-10, when all the rolls add up the the number 10 (if the numbers they roll by-pass 10, they can still only go 10 steps), they choose which way they should turn. Left or right? (co-hosts hints will be given) if they choose the right passage, they will be notified and keep going. If they choose the wrong turn a co-host will notify them,send them 10 rolls back, and then they go the correct direction. After about 3 turn choices (30 rolls) they will be coming up to the library, a co-host shall say...


Quote:
