firstly, i apologize for the lateness, everybody - today's been a doozy </3 Welcome, all! Be sure to read all the way through both the instructions + notes and credits before you format a request. Welcome to the Dining Room, where our mercenaries are serving up a lovely meal of words and mangoes! You can find more information on the mercenaries (such as their identities and demands) inside this project. simply click to progress, and have fun! ↱ ⌕ ↴ The mercenaries are a select group of volunteers who expressed interest in writing for other cabins as well as their own this session. So if you and your cabin ever need a helping hand, you will be able to ask for a mercenary right here and they'll be able to write towards your active war! Mercenaries, however, won't work for you for free - you'll have to pay the price... ↱ ⌕ ↴ At the very start of cabin wars, each cabin automatically receives 3 cafeteria mangoes. At the same time, the Dining Room opens and the identities of our mercenaries are now revealed! The rules are simple: the mercenaries will write for you, as long as you pay them in mangoes. The default trading system is 1000 words for a mango, unless the spiel of each mercenary says otherwise - but you are more than welcome to negotiate ;D Leaders and co-leaders can use mangoes automatically. Campers can only use one mango at a time, unless given approval to use more by any other member of their cabin. ↱ ⌕↴ Some additional rules: ⌕ All mango trades must happen in the cafeteria comments, so we can keep track. ⌕ Mangoes cannot be temporarily loaned or borrowed, or halved or quartered. ⌕ Mangoes can only be spent on mercenaries, who can then donate their mangoes wherever they like. ⌕ Mercenaries can choose whether or not to complete bonus challenges. ⌕ Mercenaries are obliged to hold up their end of the bargain once they’ve been paid; if they fail to complete what they’ve been paid to do before the war ends, the deal is off and the cabin keeps the mango. ⌕ You cannot use a mercenary who comes from your own cabin - otherwise they'd just be writing towards their own war, which they really should be doing anyway. ⌕ Mercenaries cannot have their services requested after cabin war day is over in UTC (even if there are still active wars). ⌕ Mangoes have no point value, or any bearing on the ranking. ⌕ All mango requests must follow the prescribed formatting. ⌕ Your cabin can only use one merc at a time! you can interact with mercenaries and talk deals outside of this project; however, mango trades MUST be confirmed in this project's comments, for host sanity. If you have any further questions, please head to a host's profile! The current swc hosts are , , , , and .
↱ ⌕ ↴ To format a request: cabin | war number* | request | confirmation you're a leader OR you’re a camper abiding to the one-mango rule (unless given permission to use more by another cabin member). example: gothic | war 5 | write 2k towards our war please! i'm willing to pay 2 mangoes | I confirm I am a leader/I am a camper given approval by a member of tragedy’s leading team :) Any mercs interested will reply to your request with a message of acceptance. if you have talked with a mercenary and come to a deal you're both happy with outside of this project, you should confirm the trade in the comments. this comment doesn't need to have a set format, but you should confirm the cabin, the mercenary, and the mangoes paid! ↱ ⌕↴ Wars have been numbered for ease of identification! you should use the war numbers if you are requesting a mercenary: war 1 | 4000 words, 9 hours war 2 | 3500 words, 8 hours war 3 | 2 people, 500 words each, 8 hours war 4 | 2000 words, 4 hours war 5 | 1000 words, 3 hours war 6 | 3 people, 700 word collaborative short story, 24 hours war 7 | 4500 words, 7 hours ↱ ⌕ ↴ See the main cabin for the full cabin wars link this session! ⌕ past SWC hosts for writing the description ⌕ graphics made in canva by @rocksalmon800 ↱ ⌕ ↴
