Gameplay
Diplomatic patrols do not require you to be moving around the grid, but are aided slightly if you choose to do so. Every few minutes you will visibly check your phone while on a diplomatic patrol; this is visible to others in the room with you.
[Event One]:
The Syndicate abduct another character from the grid and put them into a holding cell before announcing an auction. All characters with the diplomatic patrol habit will be able to make their way to the auction site and bid on getting their hands on the victim. They won't know who the victim is, but can bribe officials for hints as to their identity. At the conclusion of the bidding the winner will able able to collect the victim at the bidding location for the next several minutes; if they fail to do this, the victim will be sold to the next-highest bidder. Bids come from the finances you have in your bank account, and new bids supersede earlier ones.
patrol bribe : Pay $25 for a random piece of information on the victim.
patrol bid <n> : Make a blind bid of $n for the victim, to be charged if you win.
patrol collect : When in the Town Hall Meeting Room, collect your helpless victim if you've won.
[Event Two]:
A member of a subfaction comes to Haven in order to try and make a deal. All characters with the diplomatic patrol habit will be able to make their way to the meeting room to make their case. There they can pledge influence to their side, modified by their relationship with that subfaction, which will go through whenever they next emote. Whichever side contributes the most influence will receive society resources from the subfactions support. The amount of resources your society receives is related to your influence contribution, but not at a one-to-one ratio.
patrol influence (amount)
[Event Three]:
Someone who needs to be bribed is identified by the society. You and other society members will have to go to this location in order to give the NPC the money. You'll have a general idea of how much to give them, but if you give too little the amount will increase. Upon success, those involved will receive Roleplay Experience and personal karma. Once at the location, you will need to roleplay and wait to enough time has passed before you can make the bribe, which should be formatted with dollars and cents, i.e., 10.00, 50.00, and so on.
