GROUNDHOG DAY-WEEK (aka Pretend the Gif is a Groundhog; it's Looping Like Your Life is)

[initiates]

No matter how eventful your February 7th happens to be (or not be), characters won't have much of a chance to brace themselves unless they're really into Bill Murray movies: From now until February 14th, Exsilium is repeating February 7th. Again and again. Like a cd skipping back through the same seven seconds of a Kenny Loggins cd.

The day's not entirely the same, however; players can react to the looping daily activities, unchanging calendar, and RPG-esque stock responses more stock than usual! You'll even get a warning message from AI of some kind of anomaly...and AI will keep reminding you. Every day.

What your character does in this horrible time loop is entirely up to you. Freak out? Break the same shotglass 6 times in a row? Sleep through the entire thing?

A mass log will be up shortly and linked here for those who'd like a kind of mingling reaction space. OPEN LOG HERE

And, as always, questions can come here in the post.

If I haven't succeeded in getting Caddyshack music stuck in your head I'm either too old or just not trying hard enough. Either way, HAPPY TIMELOOP WEEK!!!

Re: QUESTIONS

[implying]

The PCs (and player NPCs) will be the only ones who remember that yesterday went exactly like this; it seems totally normal for everyone else. Also, no matter where they are at midnight after the day passes, they'll black out and find themselves exactly where they were the previous midnight. (Even if they weren't necessarily asleep last midnight!)

Re: QUESTIONS

[unmasking]

Will they return to the ACTIVITY they were doing, or just the same place? Like, IE the shower, even if the shower isn't running, or would they end up in the shower with the shower running again?

[implying]

Yep, both! If they were in the shower last midnight, then SUDDENLY NAKED AND WET all over again. I mean. Hopefully naked, and probably wet.
