State of the Game : Greed

[sinfulmods]

WEEK 33 : Greed
August 29 - September 03

This week’s emotional shift isn’t much of one, but it does branch out a bit more. Those susceptible to the influence will find that they’re intensely inclined to have things, regardless of what they are or whether they’re useful. For some, this might result in hoarder-like tendencies, or perhaps in ‘necessary’ shopping sprees. Or maybe it’s high time you go out and buy that new place instead of waiting for a decent mortgage interest rate. Impulse is the name of the game this week.

(Players will decide how and to what degree their characters are affected by this and all of the prominence shifts to come. It is entirely optional to be involved with the prominence events. This will last for one in-game week and end on February 23. Please remember that we are on a 3:1 day ratio!)

State of the City At Large:

The Weather
Over the course of the week, temperatures will be dropping almost drastically in the City. No longer is it the height of summer, but nearly fall. Perhaps the change in temperature is a bit abrupt, but no one ever said the City did anything gently. Full on jackets aren’t necessary, but light sweaters might be a good plan.

Crime
Thanks to the CSPD, the vast majority of the recent robberies have ceased entirely: it’s been reported that the ringleaders were arrested and charged, leaving the lower men on the totem poles to their own devices. Most haven’t been inclined to keep things going.

In the wake of the robberies, the Hermit and the CSPD have declared a curfew for the City. No longer is ‘don’t go out at night’ simply a recommendation; the curfew kicks in from midnight to 6am. Ferries to the island are offered before dark, but travel during the evening hours is currently limited.

Rumours
There’s talk running around of some kind of festival being in the works for the end of August. People appear fairly excited about it and the new club opening up at the end of the month.

Word in the Coliseum District is that Justice is loosening his grip on things every now and then. Things are still clearly getting done, but his apathy is the talk of many a citizen.

People seem to be appreciative of the renewed stability in the City of late, but there’s always that tiny bit of dissent creeping in along the edges: if one knows where to go, they might catch wind of the opinions of a few dissatisfied demons.

Additional Notes
The animals in the Gardens of Pleasure remain on their easy guard duty. It’s said to be making the Gardens a very safe place to be, at least from some (potentially misguided) citizens.

Though the curfew is implemented, the Magistrates are granting a temporary reprieve for the opening night of Ohm.
