Hello, everyone, and welcome to signups for Wintreath's very own edition of Rupaul's Drag Race.

If you've ever seen the show, we take our best and brightest young drag queens and put them through a series of competitions to decide just who will be the next drag superstar.  This time we're holding the competition in this lovely region of Wintreath, and I personally would love to see what Wintreath has to offer.

Now, I've heard tell that there may be some drag queens here who like a bit of drama.  Now nobody knows more than me that drama can make excellent reality TV, but let's be honest...these queens sound like they'd do whatever it takes to make sure that some of our brightest get sent home early through means of...dare I say, sabotage.  If your dress suddenly turned up with holes, or you found your Evian was replaced with basic tap, these queens were probably to blame.  And so I leave it up to you, drag sleuths, to find these Debbie Destroyers and make it through to potentially become our next drag superstar.

Of course, this is always a competition too, and only one will win.  But if there's even one of those Debbie Destroyers around with you by the time there's only one of you left, we'll have no choice but to give her the win to salvage what low ratings we'll already have at that point.

The show itself will be split into two segments: Onscreen, and Offscreen.

During each onscreen segment, you'll work on your outfits for each competition while also discussing amongst each other.  While it's good for ratings to use this time for the dramatic and emotional moments, it's highly encouraged that you use this time to discuss who the Debbie Destroyers in your group are.  And to make things interesting, if you decide as a group who you believe is guilty of trying to bring the Dragocalypse to the show, our producers have agreed to send them home.  But keep in mind that you could very well be sending an innocent queen home and depriving her of a possible win.

In the Offscreen phase, you'll each have a chance to relax without the cameras surrounding you, get some sleep, and prepare for the next segment.  During this time, designated queens will be on the lookout for the Debbie Destroyers' handywork.  Some of our Ladies in Arms can choose to watch over a queen that they think is being targeted by one of those Debbie Destroyers, and protect her from their wrath.  Likewise, I've also designated one queen as your Watcher.  Her job will be to report to me directly on who she is most curious about.  If the chosen is a fellow Drag contestant, they can form a clique.  If the chosen is a Debbie Destroyer, she can discreetly use that knowledge in the next Onscreen segment.

And I say discreetly, and that extends to all of you.  Since this is a competition, and we want good ratings, that means you can't tell anyone if you're a special role.  That means no hinting, suggesting, or even wording things to make people aware that you're more than just a drag contestant.  In this game, you're known by your Drag persona, and nothing else.  Anything else risks us losing ratings due to lack of interest in the mystery, and will likewise risk the offender being sent home.

Now, as I mentioned this is a competition, and thus there will be some challenges as well.  Each Onscreen segment will be surrounding you while you're working on your next outfits.  But if you see a gold star next to the next Offscreen segment, that means that a challenge will happen before the next Onscreen segment.  This challenge can involve everyone, some people, or purely one person.  For these latter ones, you'll choose who you want to take the challenge.  Challenges can be rewarded with an extra shot in front of the camera (so an added life), insight into a Queen, security detail for a segment (aka protection from the Debbie Destroyers), complete silence for a segment (negate all powers for a segment), and various other rewards depending on the winner of the challenges.

However, in the case of challenges involving some/one person, the losing person also ups the risk that they'll be sent home.  So keep this in mind when you send that person up.

Any questions? Comments? Suggestions?  I look forward to seeing what Wintreath has to offer!

Any aspiring drag queen is welcome to sign up to take part.  Just be sure to provide the following:

*Drag Queen name (you can get one through http://mydragname.com/)
*A picture of yourself in your drag attire (in other words, a picture of a drag queen)
*Three traits that describe you (this will be used for competitions, dramatic moments, and your one-on-one camera time)

The signups will last for 8 days, ending on 5/15/2018 at 4PM PST.  The game itself will begin on 5/16 at 5PM PST.

So you decided to go ahead with this idea after all? Nice.

So when specifcally do these challenges happen, in terms of the day/night (or rather on/offscreen) phases?

When in the game they happen are going to be random.  But they'll be announced in the Offscreen phases, people will use that night to vote (if appropriate) as to who will do the challenges depending on the type, and the challenge will happen right before we go into the Onscreen phase.

Think of it like the challenge happening, and then the next day phase being the aftermath.  The results would affect either the current upcoming Onscreen phase, or the next Offscreen phase.

But to ease up any curiosities about it being an extra added challenge to the game, don't worry.

Think of it like how questing in The H team was.  You didn't have to actually do anything, but simply taking part in it had some sort of result.

That's how the challenges will be.  Your character will be taking part, and the traits you choose will help effect how your character will handle the challenge, but you personally won't have to actually do anything.  Depending on the factor of the chosen traits, what the challenge is like, how your character's traits compare to the other's, and a small tinge of random will dictate the results.

I would join, but I’ve been busy and inactive lately, and I’ll be gone on vacation at the start of the summer, so I’ll pass.

Working full-time hours at the Biergarten and cleaning out the garage is leaving me with very little time for myself which I'd prefer using to relax on one of my games.

I don't mind pushing it back till the 18th.   I'm a little behind because of work anyways, so I can use Thursday to set it up and Friday to start it.

It may work out better for everyone to delay it until the weekend, imo.

So then it's settled.  Signups will go until the 18th, and the game will start on either Friday or Saturday, since I'll be off the next 3 days.

It looks like we're entering the summer lull...we might want to hold out until we get 15 or so players.

I thought the idea was to have a smaller game, though?
Title: Werewolf XV Signups
Post by: Wintermoot on May 21, 2018, 05:12:36 PM
There's only 8 players at the moment (including me when I get signed up xD), and judging from past games it's likely that at least 1 person will go inactive at some point in the game...not sure that makes for a very long or interesting game, but I suppose it's up to Pengu as host what he wants to do. I was just offering advice.
Title: Werewolf XV Signups
Post by: Michi on May 23, 2018, 03:12:08 AM
Wintermoot is right.  At the moment with 7 players, it's going to be a difficult juggle with this game, since there'd be at least 3 power roles and at least 1 bad guy.  While that doesn't seem bad,  for this particular game it'll prove difficult to have a smoothly operating game.  For a theme of this one to work flawlessly, the game would need at minimum 10-12 players.  Not an excessive amount, but anything less risks skewing the game far too easily with what I want to incorporate in the challenge rounds.

So in that sense, if our 8 players are on board, I'll go with the bare basic theme for this game rather than the type I was originally shooting for, and we'll save the Drag Race Werewolf for when we have a bigger participation pool.

Basically it'd be a complete back-to-basics game.
