Encounters are random IC events run by storyrunners that occur in an
instanced version of New Haven.<\/p>\n
The encounter will be launched through the lookfor system with the SR
being given a choice of two writing prompts.<\/p>\n
The SR will then use this writing prompt to create a small RP scene for the
participants, they will earn enhanced karma for this much like they would
for running an adventure, but not as much. During the adventure they can of
course summon in new people if there’s a reason to single them out in
particular, but they can also make use of the encounter bringin command.<\/p>\n
This command puts the encounter onto the where list with the string the SR
specifies, appearing as (string) is happening in (room) and also the name of
the SR and person first recruited. It also sends an echo to those most
likely to notice the encounter going on. From there players can use
encounter join (SR name) to join the encounter up to a maximum of five.<\/p>\n
SRs can edit encounter rooms with the decorate command.<\/p>\n
There is a week cooldown on running encounters.<\/p>\n
Be advised that encounters are not private affairs; they show up on
faction\/cult\/society report events for society members and are logged on
Haven’s website as well.<\/p>\n
