Current plans, unsure. I like(d) King a lot. As a T2, I thought I had a loooot more time before getting faenapped. My previous T3-1 character had 11 months before doom to even be a consideration. And my T1 had like 2.5 years before. So the time line kinda threw me. 7 months is really not enough time for T3-1. Especially if they’re gonna get caught again on every Hunt. If there was a guaranteed skip if you got caught by the last one, I might feel better about doing something… As it is… and speculating that I will absolutely get nabbed at the NEXT Hunt… I find myself reluctant to invest any in him. Which is sad, because I kinda think he is mostly well-liked, if not taken all that seriously.

I have basically three options for him, and I am currently unsure which way to go.
Delete. Let’s face it, this is the entire purpose of Doom/Hunt mechanics, to produce Character Churn. I don’t like it, but it is what it is. No idea what I would play if I did, but I do have enough personal karma to tier up an alt. If I did delete, I would probably try to get a Plot on an Alt then make an actual T3 and hope the next Hunt misses me.

Escape as soon as possible, likely in an unethical fashion, to help sully his reputation even more. Spend the month at T1 working on a couple of plots, then hopefully try to bounce up to T3 eventually before the next Hunt.

The current semi-front runner is … Camp for 10 weeks. Then clear Werewolf and see what kinda shenanigans Merman King can get up to. Probably ditch the accountant/Elvis thing and go shift gears into something a lot more sinister. Tier up as high as I can manage, then proceed to terrorize the grid, muwahahaha.

I cannot really comment or speculate on the OOC angle of things while waiting for how the future will go. Worst case scenario, there’s always Duskholm.

Additional question: How much is a “significant” life force penalty? (I suspect your definition and ours may vary wildly)

To my knowledge, nothing prevents students from joining societies and participating in all of these other activities (though perhaps you may need to be 21 if you are a supernatural for some). The limiting factor there is only being able to be in one of each type per account. Which really is not all that big of an issue. Which really gives you the best of all worlds, the supernatural school RP and activities around town.

Also, I don’t think you need to actually be in a society to add many of the activities to your Lookfor list, which includes encounters, chats, socializing, and dating. Most of these do not involve combat.

If you are feeling isolated, I can empathize with that. I live in one of the less populated boroughs, in a large house, with very few housemates, very few visitors, with a shop that rarely sees people in it. The grid is flippin’ huge. And my hours are weird, so I can’t ‘really’ RP for a good portion of the hours I am logged in. So I try to text and talk on comms and set things up for later as I go.

There’s also a guide for Incitements and Opportunities now too, which might help.

Also, if you are a non-combat character, and you want to avoid the Mist, buy a horse. Be speedy quick getting on them and speedy quick entering a building when you get off them, and you’ll never see unwanted combat again. (Or until Nova changes it)

As a combat character who has tried to get boroughs and lost consistently to social events on repeat, I think you are less correct in this assessment than you might hope. I wont’t address the college thing, because that is entirely outside my experience…

But raids are pointless. And fall into the same issues hunting does: everyone is doing it, therefore, it is worthless.

Events are the thing that make a difference. The things in Lookfor make a difference. Many of which do not require combat or power, like encounters and socializing. And socializing/events are entirely Freeform. You can make up whatever you want. Set a calendar event, toss some food on the ground, make some announcements when it gets crowded, and the borough is yours. We’ve seen it multiple times. Even last minute events swing things, with little or no planning.

So no, H7 is absolutely not geared toward combat. It is geared toward diversity! Do all the things, or have enough people that all the things get covered. That’s the key. Well, and having fun with what you are actually doing.
