✦ CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!
A CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) is a plotted event that is threaded in private, in which 2-4 characters are spirited away to go through a series of trials and challenges where they may face injury or even death. If certain conditions are met, characters may also gain access to special rewards upon completing their CYOA. That's what we call high-risk, high-reward, baby! Note that, although most CYOAs will OOCly be threaded starting on Sunday, ICly characters will be whisked away sometime during Thursday and would return before curfew time.
If you sign up for CYOA, you will be assigned to a group on any given week based on a mix of RNG, stated availability and timezones. We'll do our best to match up players with similar schedules, so please make sure to be as realistic as possible regarding you're schedule when filling out the sign-up form! If you are not rolled on a given week, don't worry. We'll be working our way down the list and prioritizing players who haven't had an opportunity to participate in a CYOA yet. However, please note that we cannot guarantee that every player will have the chance to participate. It all depends on the amount of CYOA proposals submitted during the course of this game.
Please note that CYOAs are time-sensitive and require frequent tagging over the course of the week. Though we'll check in with you regarding your availability if you're rolled for CYOA that week, please be sure to be aware of your schedule and that you'll be able to tag consistently throughout the week. All CYOAs must be completed at least two hours before curfew on Thursdays.
There will be two kinds of CYOAs available in this game: mod-run CYOAs and player-run CYOAs.
✦ ON CYOA TYPES
Mod-run CYOAs are exactly as it says on the tin. These threads will be run by a member of the mod team. In ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
thevine, there will be a total of three mod-run CYOAs and they will take place every other week.
Player-run CYOAs, on the other hand, are run by a player in the game instead of a mod. There will be less mod participation in these CYOAs, and what happens in them will be up to the players who submit proposals with some input and assistance from the mod team.
Players who would be interested in running a CYOA for a group of 2-4 other players can submit a proposal in the designated thread below. Similar to signing up to participate in a CYOA, players who sign up to run a CYOA must be aware of their schedule to ensure they will be able to tag fairly consistently. If you're interested in running a CYOA and know that you'll have the time for it, please don't hesitate to sign up! Player proposals mean that there will be more opportunities for your fellow players to participate in a CYOA, which is always a win-win. For this game, the peanut gallery is also welcome to submit their own CYOA proposals if they wish to do so.
To submit a proposal, you only need a rough outline of what you intend to do in your CYOA. Your CYOA does not have to be related to your character's canon, though you're welcome to take inspiration from it if you wish. The most important thing that a proposal should include is a general goal or objective that characters will need to achieve. You do not have to be overly detailed in your initial proposal, but it should include a rough outline of what tasks, challenges and obstacles characters will face.
Please do keep in mind that all CYOAs must be wrapped up at least two hours before curfew time, barring any exceptions made at mod discretion. To this end, we ask that you make sure that the objectives of your CYOA can be accomplished before then. Any threads that aren't wrapped up by the deadline cannot be backtagged.

CYOA Sign-Ups
Note that you can sign up whenever, and not necessarily on the week you think you'd be able to go. Signing up early helps your mod team plan for the future, so if you're interested in participated in a CYOA, don't hesitate to throw your sign-up in as soon as possible! All sign-up comments will be screened.
Player Contact: Your Discord.
Schedule: When are you available to tag during the day? Including your timezone and specific hours is encouraged. Additionally, is there any particular week you anticipate you will not be around?
Player CYOA: Would you be willing to join a player-run CYOA?
Death Volunteers: Are you interested in getting a one way ticket to the GY on your CYOA, should an opportunity present itself? Note that this does not guarantee that you will die unless you have talked to the mod team beforehand about needing to die on a specific week, and you do not have to be married to whatever you answer here. We'll always check in with you on the week you're rolled.
Player Proposals
While you're free to sign up for both, keep in mind that you cannot be rolled to participate in a CYOA on the same week that you're running one.
Player Contact: Your Discord.
Schedule: When are you available to tag during the day? Including your timezone and specific hours is encouraged. Additionally, is there any particular week you anticipate you will not be around?
Proposal: Please provide a rough outline of what you plan to do in your CYOA. The premise should give the participating players a place to explore and tasks to accomplish.
Participants: If you already have a list of participants in mind, and have confirmed with the players beforehand, please list them here. Note that the list of participants must be between 2-4 players. Don't worry if you don't have a list of participants in mind, as the mods will instead arrange a group from the CYOA sign-ups pool.
