Event: There Will Come Black Rains; Part One

[snowblindmods]

THERE WILL COME BLACK RAINS

It sounds like it's raining. It's not, of course--it's too cold for that--but the sound of rain can be heard everywhere. It patters on the remaining rooftops and taps on intact and shattered windows alike. Walk outside and you can even feel it on your skin. Nothing is there, though, and no one gets wet. @ADMIN sends a message in the morning: Encrypted video data has been retrieved. Encryption key data has been lost. Please retrieve it. The travelers will have to walk around and look for the data, which can be found on SD cards scattered around town. Each time one is obtained, the data will be transferred, and the video will come closer to being unlocked. ICly, characters do not know where the SD cards are. OOCly, the locations will be listed in comments in this post. Please reply letting us know who is going to find each SD card! We're leaving it up to you to decide among yourselves who will be getting them, so please don't argue too much over it! The video will be available to everyone when revealed!

QUESTIONS

[imgonnatouchit]

Do the SD cards have to be found on 167, or do the characters have longer to find them?

[snowblindmods]

They have longer to find them! The final part of the event won't go up until they're all found, though.

[swatsflies]

Do they have to submit a quick or thorough search to find the sd cards? Or would walking through work?

[snowblindmods]

At least a quick search would be needed.

Thank you <3

Can characters in tunnels feel the rain?

[snowblindmods]

Yes.

There is going to be a massive pile-up of characters at some locations due to folks wanting a chance to snag the card. For folks who aren't actually trying for it (like those just heading to the school for food), is it possible for them to just... miss the other groups and roll separately for anomaly chances? Mippins or Danielle mentioned briefly on Plurk about potentially having the kind of situation where people are occupying the same space, but don't actually see each other.

For this situation, if that is available and we took advantage of it, would Watson's group of 4 have the odds of an anomaly encounter for a group of 4? Or would they have the odds of a group of 10+ because there are other people still occupying the same space, even if they can't interact?

[snowblindmods]

If you use the "occupying the same space, but don't see each other" thing, then the two groups will count separately for the anomaly roll as long as you only mention the people who your characters can see in the note about who they're traveling with in movements.
