Hello everyone,
This is just me elaborating a little about the pregame and its background. The pregame will "run" for a short time before the actual game is ready to begin. The purpose of the pregame is twofold. First, it is to help players figure out how I set up my rooms and links in between them as well as how I handle investigations. The other purpose is to help me learn how to "be" the mastermind and get into the habit of responding, editing, and informing players as the game goes on.
The pregame is set in time before the actual events of blood shift, specifically it occurs right at your arrival at the Tower in which the game will play out. This means a couple things. First, as of the Pregame your blood weapons do NOT exist. You are free to use your SHSL abilities, but be forewarned that if you use it in the pregame and alert other players to your exact power then you may find difficulty getting its full potential in the real game.
Murdering is allowed in the pregame, but I for simplicity I will revive the player as soon as their "Trial" ends. This also means that progress towards the victory condition of murder is impossible. Actions you take in the pregame have no precedent on the events of Blood~Shift itself. You are free to try and glean information about the mystery of Blood~Shift and take that knowledge into Blood~Shift. Trials do not end in execution and I will only exact blood punishments upon request of the recipient in order to see how they work first hand.
Pregame participation is completely optional and most of the knowledge available in the pregame will also be hidden in the actual season. At some point during the pregame, there will be an official start date and time for Blood~Shift. Please keep your eyes open for the announcement and watch for any PMs on site from me. If you do decide to participate then you spawn in the Front Office.
I will send an additional notification out to all players who have applied that they must finalize their applications within 12-24 hours of the official start time of the game. This means your character choice, SHSL title, and Blood Weapon. If you need to change or are lacking any of the above, I need that information within that time frame so that I may PM everyone their powers/items and etc. If you have no blood weapon or SHSL title by the time my deadline rolls around then I will give you ones I create myself. I encourage you to come up with your own Blood Weapon and Title as they add a lot of personality and really help define your unique playstyle. If I have to create these then you will simply have to deal with what I have given you. If you miss the deadline and feel you deserve to be able to choose your own title and weapon later I will need a very good reason.
Apologies for rambling on here, but I needed to make sure everyone understands the purpose and intent of the pregame as well as my plans for starting Blood Shift.
Lets have some fun and spill some blood!
