Arcade

Player Arcade

Located off the Games Cafe, which is itself linked to the OOC Nexus, the Arcade is a way to reward players for roleplay without giving them unfair quantities of XP.

When playing at an arcade, winning at a game gives you paper tickets, which you can then bring to a counter to trade in for prizes.

This system operates on the same general concept!

Staff has written up a list of "prizes" which can be purchased with tickets. Tickets themselves are earned when a player A) has their +account set up and B) exceeds the 5xp total weekly limit on +activity use. Any +activity entries past 5xp automatically flip over into ticket gain instead.

Tickets are shared across your Master Account, and are stored on that object, not you, as they are a prize to the player, not the character.

The prices in the Arcade are subject to change during/after beta testing. This is our current estimate of fair pricing based on what we believe will be the probable weekly ticket gain of the average player.

Prizes

The following table lists available prizes. More will be added as time goes on. Trifles, in particular, are listed here with their effects to give players an idea of the types of things their trifles should be doing.

Remember: if you are on any kind of character NOT a changeling, YOU CANNOT USE A TRIFLE. Trifles have no catch. You CAN use a 1-dot Token.

Available Prizes

Prize	Price	Type	Staff Needed?	Book	Description
Plot Antagonist	50	PC	YES	CUSTOM	Play a PC antagonist (Loyalist, Hunter, Privateer, evil minion of a corporate psychic-collecting overlord, etc.) with established limits and goals. Limited play lifespan (i.e. once the plot's gone, the character's gone). Does not count toward your alt/xp tier total. Marked with [ANT] tag for OOC disclosure. You get to work with staff to determine your plot/the character's xp tier. Other players may purchase antagonists to play with you. Staff will take away your toy if you use it to abuse or persecute players you dislike.
Lefevre Proximi	100	PC	YES	CUSTOM	Full benefits. No opportunity to Awaken. This is a permanent Lefevre Family PC and does count toward your alt/xp tier total. If you are already in the Lefevre family, you will need to freeze your current alt in order to have a Proximi approved. Work with staff to determine details and get you through CG.
Custom Private Channel	40	Channel	YES	CUSTOM	What it says on the tin. You get to pick a channel name, choose the colour(s) for the header and tell whomever you please about it. Staff is not going to remove your channel if you freeze the PC which bought it; this falls under the aegis of cross-account tix. If the player who purchases the channel is banned from the game, that is another story.

Welkinstick	10	Trifle	No	CtL p.210	A branch taken from high up in the Hedge which, when snapped, doubles the user's next jump roll.
