 Smoke grenades are fine, everything else is a no for now. At future events, I may look into allowing other types of grenade, but I need a better sense of potential damage to the site and check with Ann as to what Giants Seat allows. I know smoke is fine… Smoke grenades are fine, everything else is a no for now.

-If you want to use smoke grenades please use white or yellow. Blue is used for knockout gas grenades. Other colours will be used to phys-rep REDACTED and REDACTED so please avoid those. Smoke grenades have also been added to the equipment list, knockout gas grenades must be acquired in game by other means.+If you want to use smoke grenades please use white or yellow. Blue is used for knockout gas grenades. Other colours will be used to phys-rep REDACTED and REDACTED so please avoid those. Smoke and knockout grenades have also been added to the equipment list. We do not provide the actual smoke grenades ooc, you will need to bring your own phys-reps.

 Bring the phys-rep for whatever it was anyway. You won't be paid a single lump sum when a big bad dies around 3pm on Sunday. You will be paid immediately after each mission you complete, and you can spend that money immediately as well, so if you complete mission A and realise a GPS tracker would have made it much, much easier, you can potentially buy a tracker before mission B goes out. However, once play has started the price list will change significantly. Bring the phys-rep for whatever it was anyway. You won't be paid a single lump sum when a big bad dies around 3pm on Sunday.

-Be careful when spending at an event. You will need to service your debts to the smugglers in downtime and you will need to pay upkeep fees for a variety of things (your weapon, your armour, and you). As a very rough guide I am expecting each mission to pay between 1200 and 2000 credits, and for each player to do about 6 missions. My aim is to pay enough over the course of the event for the average player to be able to pay all their bills and maybe buy a couple of skills between events. Players who manage to spirit away the better loot might get more, players who fail some of their missions might have a few financial woes ahead…+Be careful when spending at an event.

 We are tracking reputation. Theft, mission failure, suspected murder and general douchebaggery can make you unpopular and thus affect your mission pay. There is nothing whatsoever to stop you playing a shonky character but there can be consequences, and there's no flawed legal system gatekeeping those consequences… We are tracking reputation.

 +We are also now in a position where players control each other's reputation. The Manor House Mob runs the labour exchange. Piss them off and you may not get any further work.

-Other food and drink may go out as loot, or be available for credits at the bar.+There is now a catered ticket option which costs an extra £10. This will include a breakfast sandwich of some kind and an evening meal which will most likely be a pasta dish, a rice dish or a stew.

 Anything else you eat you will need to provide for yourself and must be eaten in the ooc area. Anything else you eat you will need to provide for yourself and must be eaten in the ooc area.

-Tea and coffee will be available in the kitchen, but again, in a travel mug with a lid please.+
