4th Wall Info
LOGS | NETWORK | OOC | MEMES | NAVIGATION
We're gathered here today to invite you to Season's 1st Anniversary:
✨ 4th Wall ✨
Research Center is launching another beta testing project and characters are asked to participate in it through a Virtual Reality Simulator. The main goal of the simulation is to test out Seasonal Powers at full blast against the Darkness (everyone is temporarily given all abilities inside the simulator and the barrier protecting Ellipsa will be completely gone.
However, something goes wrong and characters get stuck in the "Metaverse" - and people who're not currently supposed to be on Ellipsa start appearing there as well... along with things from their world that are most definitely not supposed to be here.
Characters not participating in the beta project can also be sucked into metaverse through normal screens, such as phone or television screens. Their bodies will remain sleeping in Ellipsa, but their minds are taking on challenges in the metaverse - that looks exactly like Ellipsa, but has its own fun modifications.
Getting injured in the simulator feels real and may cause scarring in the actual body, but dying will just boot someone out. 4th wall characters will just respawn somewhere else after death.
Characters in game that don't get dragged into the metaverse will be able to help the Research Center to try and manage the computer program, to find solutions to end the simulation and help characters return from the metaverse. They will also be asked to make sure their friends and loved ones bodies are alright while they sleep. There shouldn't be a problem with touch energy, at least, but who knows where people have fallen asleep...
4th Wall will be posted on March 15th and it will last until March 31st!
Notes
Before engaging in the 4th wall it's a good idea to read the rules and maybe check other information about the setting! They may be in the metaverse, but it's a perfect copy of the world as it is now.
Please respect player preferences! Just because death doesn't matter during the 4th wall, not everyone wants their characters killed!
As always with public posts, writing smut is prohibited in the 4th wall posts! Please move any such content to another place, like the characters' journals!
4th Wall FAQ [ Click to Expand ]
Can anyone participate in the 4th wall?Yes.
Do you need an invite to play in the 4th wall?
No. If you decide you want to join Seasons, they will need an invitation for that separately.
Do I need to join the communities?
No. The 4th wall post will be in the
seasonsgreetings community.Are doubles of existing characters allowed on the 4th wall?
We have a "Opt In" comment where current players can allow others to bring in doubles of their characters. Otherwise, we ask you not to do that.
Do I need to nerf my character?
Since the 4th wall happens in metaverse, any damage someone does there will be automatically corrected/healed. So there are no nerfs in the metaverse, just damage control.
Can characters leave and re-enter the metaverse?
Since the Research Center is working on a solution, characters can be booted out of the metaverse occasionally, but can also be sucked in by any 'screen' again later on, if the player wants to do that!
My character is a master hacker, can they find a way to shut off the metaverse or escape it?
As the project is partially magical, hacking wouldn't be able to do that. They can probably make things that shouldn't happen with by messing with the code, however, but please ask other participating people for permission before doing anything bigger.
If you app a character after 4th wall can they remember what happened during it?
They can, but they feel almost like a weird, blurry dream rather than something that actually happened at first. They can either remember everything as time goes by or just be left with the somewhat blurry memories of the events.
Will existing characters remember everything that happens?
They have an option before the end of the 4th wall or remember or forget everything or parts of what happened during the 4th wall event. This confirmation happens every time they're booted out of the metaverse.
Here's a form to tell us who you might be bringing in!
You can also use this post to plot what existing characters might be doing during the 4th wall, so: Here's a Plotting form for existing characters:
