"Do you want to build a snow man?" Frozen, 2013Snow . yes its snowing . social media away! BLIZZARD TIME! The one you been waiting for :)
Ok, so this skip may run a bit differently and we have sorted you into teams of a kind, what you do is up to you, they may be characters you know, strangers or even a rival.
All this was randomly allocated by a computer program, and as said before funniest team name means a bonus in IC coming your way.
Look out for GM notices on changes, you may lose heat, power or many other things could go out, its gonna be fun though so enjoy the random roller coaster ride that's coming. Make the most of what comes your way, there's always lemonade to be made. Cell service may come or go and everything can change in the blink of a eye.
Roads are inaccessible to all but larger 4X4 and trucks etc. This means a dedicated off road option aka a Jeep etc. Cars are snowed in even if you got 4X4 modes. If you want to get about, its time to get creative, walk or find someone who has something that can.
Milo and Joel will be mobile, so maybe if you have the right contacts or know someone who has, you might be able to get some wheels to help you.
Public transport will also be effected, this is a major storm so the city will be hit pretty hard, so snuggle up, find somewhere warm and maybe make some snow angels and have a hot chocolate after! Flights, Airports and seaplanes are heavily effected. Rivers are icey but not frozen over however.
As always, any questions you are welcome to ask, be it Discord, PM or OOC. Look out for GM tags and be clear what time zone, and location you are in your posts, we don't want a paradox summoning a Trex or a band of knights trying to slay it.
"May the odds ever be in your favor"

FRONT PAGEWINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECTThe National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Sol City and the surrounding counties in effect for next 48 hours. Residents are warned to take shelter and stay off roadways as a layer of ice and snow rapidly descends on the area. Accumulated snow totals are expected to be measured in feet and along with several inches of ice as a rapidly moving front moves across Sol from the Pacific. Expect to find snow on the ground Thursday morning with conditions worsening as the storm moves in and buffets against the eastern mountains around noon.
Sol Power and Electric expect outages to occur throughout the storm and crews will be working around the clock alongside Public Works who will be moving snow and treating the roads throughout the night. SPE has published a list of emergency contact numbers and preparation instructions that can be found on their website.
SCPD advises residents to act responsibly during the course of the storm and to save 911 calls for life-threatening emergencies only as resources will be stretched to maximum capacity during the course of the storm.

FRONTPAGE CONT'DMetal Night Brawlers Facing ProsecutionHaving completed their three-day preliminary investigation into the events that occured at Club Aether last Friday night, the District Attorney’s office released a scathing press release Wednesday outlining their plans to bring charges against instigators and club security alike. “The Office of the District Attorney will pursue charges against those that showed blatant disregard for the safety and security of Sol’s club-goers and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.” The press release read. “Events like these, in supposedly safe areas within our city, only promote an air of degeneracy and unwelcomeness to newcomers and lifelong citizens of Sol and will not be tolerated.”
The District Attorney’s Office declined any further comment on the press release though sources within SCPD have reported that arrest warrants have been issued and SCPD will be out in force to serve the DA’s orders to any who do not willingly turn themselves in. When asked about the Mayor’s stance on aggressive private security within the City, Star Messenger’s sources reported that the Mayor was “deeply concerned” and would be “working closely” with DA to bring to light any and all past transgressions that could be used against the perpetrators and those that willfully followed without reporting the incidents to the authorities.

BUSINESSSantos Holdings eyeing properties on The RunIn light of their recent and aggressive acquisitions in Sol City, a spokesperson for Elvin Santos Holdings, Inc. confirmed today that they will soon be closing deals on multiple properties within The Run and Light Lane with plans to continue further investments in Sol City. “Light Lane and the Run constitute an exciting part of Sol’s nightlife and have for many years…” The spokesperson said. “We believe with our experience and extensive knowledge of managing successful properties in Sol that we can take the area to new a level of appeal to Sol’s newcomers.”
When asked about the recent events at Club Aether the spokesperson declined to mention specifics and told Star Messenger that it was an unfortunate circumstance, but one that would not hinder their efforts in acquiring other businesses and properties in the area. “The Run has had an impressive record of safety and order for many years and we want to build upon that while also being welcoming and naturally being more profitable.” The spokesperson continued. “In the end our goal would be for the Run and Light Lane to be as appealing to tourists as an Angels game or the Grand Prix and not just a secret kept hidden underground.”
Managed by Sol City native, President and CEO, Elvin C. Santos, ESH, Inc. is one of Sol’s most dominant commercial property management companies, located in the downtown
MODUS Tower, Santos began his property management career around Central Point and Southside making his biggest successes with industrial investments centered around the construction of the Matthews Bridge.
Here’s what’s going to happen:
Instead of everyone breaking off into their own chosen pairings/groups to ride out the storm, we decided to use a randomizer to “assign” everyone into groups and just watch the chaos/fun that follows as characters that normally may not have even met are put in a contained space for a day.
So, now that we have your attention here are the groups, composed of currently active players:
Group 1:
Thomas
@ConscriptsKarishma
@RodiakSiobhan
@AlmalthiaGroup 2:
Marlin
@PrinceAlexusAlex
@Alex_The_GreatXia
@King TaiGroup 3:
Vika
@PrinceAlexusEthan
@AlmalthiaGroup 4:
Reya
@Majoras EndMarcus
@Zaxter996Sully
@CaptainSullyGroup 5:
Ashton
@Silver FoxAsh
@LostBrotherGrimmCapella
@Tenma TendoGroup 6:
Paige
@PilatusDustynn
@MissCapnCrunchAoki
@RodiakSo, where are Joel (
@Pilatus) and Milo (
@RoccanIronclad)? Good question. We have plans for those two as well. Since Joel and Milo are the only characters that have dedicated off-road type vehicles they are going to be your only links with the outside while you’re snowed in. If the characters find themselves needing anything desperately (or just for fun), they’ll have to work with one another or by phone through their connections on another team to get Joel or Milo to bring it to them. So, it will be a bit like a mini-game inside the game for a bit. The point is we want to avoid people breaking into cliques (I don’t think we really have that problem) and get some fun interactions going that we might not have if we’d just kept on with the same format.
It is up to you to plot where/how your group winds up together!We plan to throw a few more curveballs at the groups as the weather worsens so we’ll be watching carefully how everyone gets along to determine what we’re going to inflict (or reward).
As a fun little side-note, before we get going on this skip, we’re going to have a little contest:
Come up with a name for your group! The
funniest name wins and we will edit them in here as we get them. The GM staff will decide who the winners are and reward them accordingly during the course of the skip. You have until the skip starts to come up with a name.
4x Laugh
