Event tiiiime~~.
Hey everyone. The event this time is going to rival the hunter event on the bad scale. xD Welcome to the virus event. Yes, I have been planning this one since the beginning, just I was planning the hunter. During the event, the Malnosso are going to release two strains of a virus. It's not a real life virus, so I did not come up with a name for it or anything. One strain is lethal, one isn't.
Strain 1 - This is the non-lethal strain. The symptoms will begin with muscle pain and aches, a headache, and dizzy spells. It will progress within one to two days into a high fever, which will also include coughing fits, and spells of severe pain. If anyone has seen Fushigi Yuugi, think of the disease that was spreading in the village where Miaka found Mitsukake. After about three days, the fever should break and the other symptoms will begin to fade. They should recover within two to three days after that.
Strain 2 - This is the lethal version. It starts very much the same as strain one, but the difference is that when the fever develops, it won't break. Within a day or two of developing the fever, it will spike, explode, and the character will die (meaning your character's immune system boiled them alive, basically). The pain spells will be more severe than strain one up until death.
Is the disease contagious? Well, that is basically up to you guys. If you want a character to develop the disease after caring for someone else, that's perfectly fine. But if you wish for them to remain immune, that's okay too. This doesn't have to effect everyone, just like any of our other events. You guys also choose which strain a character gets. While it would make more sense for someone caring for a victim of Strain 2 to develop Strain 2, I am not going to say you HAVE to make them contract that strain. They can get the watered down version, or vice versa. They can be caring for someone with Strain 1 and then develop Strain 2. It's really in your hands.
The event starts now (12:30 am, EST Wednesday March 19th), so by morning characters should start experiencing the first signs of illness. From here on out, you control your character's symptoms and recovery/death. The last day for a character to get infected is going to be next Wednesday, the 26th. The infection period will end at midnight on the 26th. After that, people can still be sick or die, but no one else can contract the disease after that. It's done.
The Malnosso will not be commenting at all during this experiment because they will be observing whether the characters think it is a natural plague or a synthetic one cooked up by the baddies. So they're refraining from teasing everyone this time around.
As usual, character death will mean that you guys have to run a loss by a mod. Do NOT kill your character until you have cleared a loss with a mod. I have had some folks slipping on this lately, and I want to make sure nobody is dying without a penalty. It's just part of the way things work around here. ;3
And I think that's all. I am very tired right now so if this sounds confusing or you need me to answer more questions, please feel free to ask. Forgive me for incoherency at this time. xD;;;
So~, let the event begin!
