Bounty Board Channel Guide

The #bounty-board is your one-stop channel for special quests, requests, and opportunities!

What will be posted here?

• Worldbuilding Bounties: While players are welcome to submit any idea at any time (check out our Player Submissions Guide!), worldbuilding bounties would ask players to help contribute new ideas for specific things we need, usually filling in gaps and/or helping us prep things for future events.
• NPC & Guild Bounties: These bounties are issued by Guilds or NPCs. For instance, characters affiliated with the Circle might be tasked with visiting an impoverished settlement struck by plague, while Seekers could be asked to protect them en route.
• Divine Callings: These would be special tasks issued by a deity who needs help with something only a mortal can manage (for better or worse...); for example, characters might be asked to help break apart "fated" couples or cull a specific monster to honor a deity.
• Direct Requests: These are requests that are addressed to specific characters; check out the thread with your name on it for more information about how these work!
• Island/World Events: Special events that progress the sitewide plot, island development, NPC relationships, or more; major events that characters can react or respond to may also be posted as a thread on the Play board by "The Vault" account to help make interaction easier!

Quick Clarification:

• If you or your character are asking for something, use the ⁠#ic-requests channel!
• If your or your character are being asked for something, we'll use this channel!

Direct Requests

A thread will be set up for you in this channel for your personal requests; Support will occasionally post here to issue requests directly to your characters -- we currently try to issue these on the first of the month for anyone who has completed previous requests and/or have fewer than 5 outstanding requests. These requests can come from a variety of sources, including a character's guild or organization, deities, NPCs, and more!

Types of Requests,

• Limited Time Requests: You'll have a limited time to respond to these requests, or they may be cancelled, changed, or cycled to a different character/player.,
• Deity Issued: These requests have been issued by a deity, or deities.
• Guild Issued: These requests have been issued by a specific Guild.
• Valka Only: These requests would be open to any of your characters, as long as they are a Valka.
• Human Only: These requests would be open to any of your characters, as long as they are a Human.
• Any/Open: These requests are open to any of your characters. Unless indicated otherwise, bounties will be available to only the character who received the initial request; requests typically cannot be transferred to other players or characters unless otherwise stated.

Responding to Requests

• If a request does not have a clock emoji, the request will remain available until it is either accepted or refused; the only exception would be if something happened with the issuer in the meantime, for example, if the NPC who made the request dies in another event.
• If you would like to accept a request, please react to it with a blue check mark; when you've completed the request, replace it with a green check mark and reply to the message with link(s) to your completed task, if applicable.
• If you would like to reject the request, please react to it with a red X; Support will delete the message or cycle it to another person, depending on the context.
• If you would like to write out the request with someone, please react to it with a writing hand; Support will either take on the request themselves, or contact other players to play the entity creating the request.

Getting Ready for Requests

• Please take a moment to review your player and character profiles; we'll check a character's personality; background; guild, organization, and deity affiliations; and your player wish list into account. You can also set up a profile for them on the ⁠character-creations channel to share any special goals, motivations, etc. that we should keep in mind!
