| + | **During each downtime phase a selection of skills will be made available to learn. This list is generated randomly, but it can be influenced by talking to Bar NPCs and putting up cash bounties to attract the right people to teach the skills. Just asking the game team does nothing, you need to take some action at an event. These skills cost an amount of credits as listed on the [[rules: | ||

| So far we have used an online form, paper forms at the event, and one to one time with each player at events, and none of these systems have worked. The online form generally got very low take-up, the paper forms at events yielded at least one form with nothing on it except the word nanotechnology in all caps, and the one-to-one talks were too time consuming when we'd all rather be shooting stuff.\\ | So far we have used an online form, paper forms at the event, and one to one time with each player at events, and none of these systems have worked.

| + | **Gun programming happens 2-3 days before an event. Anything that would affect that has to happen by the weekend before each event. That means adding new skills, installing weapon upgrades and purchasing new weapons or armour. If it affects weapon damage or your health stat, we need to know about it a week before the event.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Research projects may well lead to crafting a weapon or armour upgrade so the above applies. Other projects will require updates to the wiki and may yield information relevant to plot at the next event. The sooner these can be submitted the better so that teaser information can go out and we can get suitable consequences written into the next event.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | Should anything you want to do require a mission to be written for the next event that will also take some time so the sooner you can get such a request in the better. We are still writing right up to the last minute and we can and do improvise encounters and mini missions but we will not always have the necessary props and QR codes working last minute.** | ||
