FURTHER DETAILS ON OUR UPCOMING LIVE EVENT
The guests of the Norris’ dinner party dined in the absence of their hosts from the moment their appetizers appeared near their place settings until the very last morsel of the final course was spirited away by house elf magic. Not fifteen minutes after a pair of house elves served the guests with dainty plates topped high with tiny apple pies and even tinier cups of steaming coffee did one Mr. Fleamont Potter scrape back his chair from his seat at the table with a discordant screech and a loud and firm request for the rest of the guests to join him in the lounge. Without a single glance behind his shoulder and certainly without taking a single sip or bite of his dessert, he turned on his heel and left the dining room.
Those who humored his sudden request in the absence of a host or hostess to entertain them would have found the large, round table of the lounge cleared of all adornment save for a select few candles, and the chairs moved from their previous positions to surround the edge in a silent invitation for sitting.
Without a doubt, there was something strange about the entire evening, but Fleamont was determined to get to the bottom of at least one mystery, or so he claimed when he explained his plan of action to the guests that joined him around the lounge table: There was to be a SEANCE held to determine once and for all whether their invitations came from an eccentric dramatist or a dangerous fraud responsible for the wizard’s disappearance and any other sinister happenstance that may have befallen him. If Mr. Norris was truly gone from this world, Fleamont reasoned, what better place to try and contact him than from the heart of his own household?
In order to help keep this event organized, we’ll be introducing TUPPERBOX to our discord server. This is a discord bot that will allow us to send messages as our characters! We’ll be happy to help everyone get set up in the server, but we thought we could go over the basics here to get everyone started.
The first command you’ll need to use is tul!register which should be formatted as the following:
tul!register “full name” name:text
For example, Orion Black would be registered by using the following command:
tul!register “orion black” orion:text
Once this is done, messages can be sent from Orion Black but beginning them with orion: and then typing your message.
Next comes the fun part! Setting an icon to go along with the profile you’ve just registered. Find an image you’d like to use. Then you can use the tul!avatar command to set this as your profile image. In a message that contained the image you want to use sent the following:
Alternatively, if you have a url of an image you’d like to use (rather than a saved image), you can use the following command:
Following with our previous example, these would look like this:
tul!avatar “orion black” https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/896113525948653568/mcu4HLRX_400x400.jpg
That’s the basics! We hope this helps and, again, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re here to help!
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR LIVE WRITING EVENTS
If you have not done a live writing event before, or even if you have, we wanted to include some details of both our expectations of how this event will run and some tips and tricks for you to get the best experience out of it!
Our expectation is that this event will last for about three hours. Because of this we encourage our players to get comfy beforehand! Get yourself a snack, a cup of tea, or whatever you’d like to have with you!
The writing for this event is going to feel a little different than writing on the dash, mostly due to length. Given the time limit and the number of players, we encourage that replies stay limited to just a few sentences.
We will set an order for players to reply based on who is present. There may be changes to this order during the live event but staff members will be sure to keep everyone updated to what those changes are.
Keep in touch with the staff members! If you have to step away for any reason that is perfectly fine, but please let us know so we can keep the event moving in a timely fashion.
If you have any further questions, please direct them to the queries channel of the discord and we’d be happy to answer them!
