R3 Regains
"In the corner of the casino there's a single slot machine, dusty and ancient, with an unusually large prize slot. From day one, even those who have no interest in gambling will find themselves strangely drawn to it. But, since you have no money to gamble on it, it's entirely useless... that is, until you find yourself with strange tokens on your bedside table on morning.
For those who venture to gamble, they will quickly find out that every roll gets you a win, but instead of money, strange objects pop out of the machine. It may be food, trinkets from home, or something that's completely useless to you. But hey, it's not really gambling if you will always get something you want, right?"
What is the Slot Machine?
Every time you insert a token a prize pops out - whether or not it's something useful is up for debate, but they're all items one normally does not expect to come out of this machine. Every so often, tokens will show up by your character's bedside. These can be used for the slot machine.
How do we earn tokens?
ICly, it's a mystery. OOCly, tokens are awarded for every 20-comment thread (10 comments per person) between player characters you submit here. The only threads you cannot submit are those that take place during investigations, trials and motive announcements are eligible for a coin. Threads with NPCs are eligible for coins as well, but these threads must take place in public (i.e. you can't submit any letters/private threads with the host for coins).
How do they work?
A token earns you a play on the slot machine, and every coin earns you a gift. This may be one of your regains, somebody else's regain, or a piece of junk. This is all determined by RNG (there are two item groups, regains and misc. items. each item in those groups has an assigned number. we roll first to see if you're getting a regain or a misc. item, and then we roll to figure out exactly what you're getting.)
Do the threads I use/my coins have to be from this week?
Eligible threads never expire. For example, you can still submit week 1/intro log threads long after those periods end.
Can we use our coins to opt out of death rolls?
Nah. Gambling kills.
My threadmate turned in our thread already. Do I have to turn it in too to get a coin?
Yes
How do threads with more than two people work?
In order to be able to redeem a thread, your character has to have contributed the minimum 10 comments normally in a standard coin thread. For instance, in order for all parties to be able to submit it, a 3-person thread has to be 30+ comments with at least 10 from each person, a 4-person has to be 40+, etc. Any participant with at least 10 comments can submit it for coin so long as the thread is at least 20 comments total.
The character I was threading with died. Can I still get paid for interacting with them?
Yep! Dead characters can no longer redeem coins, but you can submit the threads anyway.
