Gold has been found in the rivers around Snow Crest Mountain and the surrounding areas, and the knowledge wasn't a secret for very long. Dozens of men from nearby villages have begun traveling to the area, eager to become rich overnight. The abandoned farm will soon be home once again to Man - but this time, it's not just a homebody farmer. Most sources of water will constantly be surrounded by men, panhandling during the day and leaving only the night for the local fauna to seek refreshment.
Who all will be affected? Everyone! Men, fearing the danger of the larger predators in the area, may hunt down and set traps for wolves and cougars. Needing mounts, they may round up some of the local horse herd. Prey animals may be hunted for food. Dogs and cats may end up being lured back to the farm area with the promise of easy food. We'll also be re-allowing domesticated characters again during this TP (particularly horses and dogs that belong to the men) if anyone wants to play one.
But of course, to make this all work, we need actual humans loitering about on the grid. Since the staff can't singlehandedly spoof all of the human NPCs that may be necessary to get things accomplished, we'll be allowing volunteers to take control of a human NPC and RP them in various scenarios. (OOC consent is still required for anything like injury/death or capture.) If you're interested in potentially NPCing some humans during the TP, please send me a PM or a MUCKmail.
And no, humans won't be permanent after the conclusion of this TP -- eventually, all the gold will be mined, and the men will move on to better places, leaving the denizens of Meadows alone once again.
Any thoughts, suggestions, questions?
