Hello there folks! I’ve you’ve received this email, purchased a ticket to our next event, A Season of Recovery, or you’re subscribed to our mailing list! We’re putting the last few touches on our event, and have a few messages and updates to pass along before we hit the field tomorrow. If you have any questions on the below, reach out to us in the field (event team members are in the yellow hi-vis) or via info@fiveoaths.com. See you in Collon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Five Oaths Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re introducing a new crew role this event, which we hope will help everyone get involved in the game; Player Reps!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our first two player reps, who have volunteered to take the role for the remaining events in 2024 are Dave Madden and S\u00edofra N\u00ed Lochlainn<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t know who they are, come to the new player briefing at 6pm Friday by the firepit<\/strong> and they\u2019ll be there to introduce themselves<\/p>\n\n\n Reps are members of our crew who will act as an OOC point of contact for players who need some advice or help in getting involved in the game. Things they might be able to help with include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on what your problem is, they might be able to provide you with the information that you\u2019re looking for or point you towards someone who can, provide some advice on how to solve your problem, or introduce you to players\/characters who can get you involved in an aspect of the game you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n One player rep will be on duty at all times between time in and time out each day, including during free play and meal periods, (but if you see they\u2019re making or eating their food, please wait until they\u2019re finished before approaching them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need their help; approach them, put your finger in the air if you\u2019re in an IC area, say you have a player rep question, and they\u2019ll take you to one side and talk to you about it. If they say you need to wait, please be patient, they will be with you as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes! If one of the player reps approaches you, uses the phrase \u201cby special request of the Thane\u201d <\/strong>saying that they have someone that they want you to help out in some way (e.g. assist with their first ritual, take out on a linear, or practice fighting with) you are expected to do your best to accommodate their request<\/strong>. If you can\u2019t do it for some reason, let them know that and if possible suggest a time when you will be available or another player who might be able to help.<\/p>\n\n\n After our last event, we polled players about the idea of introducing a limit on how much XP a character can have- This came about as, by the time we finish this year, there will be some player characters who have double the amount of Feats that they started with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time, this rapid gaining of XP could lead to characters losing ‘focus’ and becoming very skilled in many areas, and potentially pulling well ahead of newer characters, which wasn’t a design goal we intended when building the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As such, based on the feedback we received after Event 7, we’ll be looking at introducing an XP cap in the near future- We haven’t settled on where it will be, or when it will be introduced, but we’d like to get it out there that this is something we’re hoping to implement.<\/p>\n\n\n
