HYGGE: A Game-Canon Plotting Meme
Sorry this is a little late and a little last minute, folks, but....
The upcoming holiday in December is called Hygge and it is a celebration of familial love and found family. Characterized by meals with family, time spent together, and cuddling up around bonfires with found family, it's very focused on a close-knit group that already exists.
But what about people who've only in the last month or two and haven't had a chance to put down roots and make those connections? What about people who have a hard time connecting with others or opening up about their pasts and problems? It certainly isn't fair for them to be completely left out!
To provide a solution, the Government of Riverview is hosting it's annual "More Alike Than Different" convention, an event where anyone who hasn't had a chance to develop a warm, comfortable circle of found family or close friends to celebrate Hygge with can come and find people who may be like-minded and share problems or interests, in a way that doesn't have to involve a lot of small-talk to get to the deep stuff. The convention lasts from November 20th until the Hygge season is over at the end of December, and features an open space full of cozy half-circle couches where people can settle in and create a sign or other indication of the shared experience being discussed there. This is a quick and easy way to find groups of people that you have things in common with, for better or worse!
How It Works:
● This meme will work similarly to the Bakerstreet "Support Group" meme, where a player can post a blank top-level with something about a character that they might have in common with other characters. Then they can post up a conversation starter with their character that other characters with similar experiences can join in on.
● The subject of the top-level can be traits, life experiences, interests, or anything else broad enough to encompass more than one character. Examples: "Underappreciated Geniuses," "Troubled Mech Pilots," or "People Who Love Pets More Than People."
● This meme is GAME CANON, so any threads played out in this meme can be carried through into the actual canon of the game in preparation for Hygge.
● Much like the TDM, threads on this meme can count for Activity Points, but not the monthly Activity Check.
