Request your monsters here!


IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be new sections added to the form for the purposes of the military arc (and beyond that, possibly, if we keep the pin system). Make sure to read carefully when putting in a request.



Example:
Characters: Ippo, Izaya
Location: Janitor's Closet [link here]
Would you like to try for a monster pin?: (Answer yes or no.)
If yes, list what pins each character already has and what weapons/equipment each has:

And here is a link to some guidelines that Fey set out about monsters in the past.

Now, for how NPC monster modding works! Basically, the maps has been divided up into sections and coded (first floor here, second floor here). Each NPC mod is in charge of a particular section.

That means that when you make a request, you'll pretty much know which NPC mod will be taking care of it. The NPC mods can track this post and keep an eye out for when there are any requests that are in their area and then get to it. (Also, this way if there's a delay in getting your request filled, you know who you can contact about it.) Of course, a NPC mod could always ask one of the others to pinch hit for them if they're busy, on hiatus, etc.

Each NPC mod will reply here with a comment with THEIR NAME in the subject line, and then people will respond directly to that comment when they need a monster. In other words, if I wanted to be attacked by a monster in the Courtyard, I would reply to Tiassa's comment with the request. We think NPC mods might be able to keep track of when they're needed easier that way. In the event that you need an NPC mod in an unassigned area (outside the institute, the basement, etc.), there will be a specific thread for those places that you can respond to (and any mod will be able to pick those requests up).

There will be a three-day waiting period for NPC mod requests. In other words, if you wait three days and still don't get a monster, then you can feel guilt-free about contacting the NPC mod and asking them about it. At that point, the NPC mod must decide if they are going to do it. If they are unable, it's their responsibility to find another NPC mod to handle the request for them.

This should also make it easier for the NPC mods to watch their area and send out random attacks, so stay sharp! 8)

The area assignments can be seen here, or if this is easier:

First Floor
Green - Kesiah
Yellow - Claire
Light Blue - Eryn
Purple - Aison
Pink - Court
Dark Blue - Jansen

Second Floor
Pink - Maia
Teal - Kaze
Tan - Kristyn
Orange - Psyche
Green - Pazu
Blue - Brenda

As for the outside areas and the basement, those requests can still be handled by any of us! And that's about all! Hope this makes this process a little more efficient.

This is where you comment with any alerts that other players should be aware of. Your character knocks down a certain door? Comment here so that there isn't confusion with people trying to open doors that have already been taken care of. Your character raids a supply closet? Note here what was taken so that anyone else heading that way knows what they have left to choose from. Part of the building gets blown up? You better let us know!

Also, if something particularly noteworthy is going on a specific room, feel free to mention it as well. Let's say your character is in the middle of torturing another character in the 2nd floor kitchen. It would be a little weird for a group to bypass that while looking for supplies, so... yes! This is just a simple way for us all to stay informed about the out of the ordinary things that might be going on during any given night.

Basically, just respond here with the appropriate location in the subject line (if applicable, since that's not as easy to do when it's a lock-breaking), and... yes! We did something similar to this during the zombie event, so check that out for reference.

Thanks, and enjoy this nightshift!

Ever since I've been off hiatus, I've found myself being a bit slow on here all week. It'd be fine...except now I'm likely to be definitely moving residence halls this weekend, so I can only see the slow trend getting unbearably worse. Might as well make the slowatus official for now. Hopefully it'll be just this weekend, but if it has to be more than that, I'll let y'all now.

Sorry to my threadmates! I'm doing my best, I swear! X[;;;
