Regains

"In a corner of the salon there is a looming, overly large mask bolted to the wall. It seems to be watching your every move the moment you notice it.

But you shouldn't ignore it, because every Sunday you will get some coins in your room. There are no shops or anything to spend the coins on, so they seem completely useless.

Unless...unless you go into the Salon. You will find yourself strangely drawn to the giant mask, specifically to put one of your coins in the mask's mouth.

Shall you give into the temptation, the mask will make a groaning sound, then open it's mouth wide, dispensing an item. Maybe they mean nothing to you, but maybe it will be someone's most treasured artifact.

Feeling lucky?"

What is the Slot Machine?
Every time you insert a coin a prize pops out - whether or not it's something useful is up for debate, but they're all items one normally does not expect to come out of this mask . Every so often, coins will show up by your character's bedside. These can be used for the mask.

How do we earn tokens?
ICly, it's a mystery. OOCly, tokens are awarded for every 16-comment thread (8 comments per person) between player characters you submit here. The only threads you cannot submit are those that take place during investigations, trials and motive announcements are eligible for a coin. Threads with NPCs are eligible for coins as well, but these threads must take place in public (i.e. you can't submit any letters/private threads with the host for coins).

How do they work?
A token earns you an item from the mask. This may be one of your regains, somebody else's regain, or a piece of junk. This is all determined by RNG (there are two item groups, regains and misc. items. each item in those groups has an assigned number. we roll first to see if you're getting a regain or a misc. item, and then we roll to figure out exactly what you're getting.)

Do the threads I use/my coins have to be from this week?
Eligible threads never expire. For example, you can still submit week 1/intro log threads long after those periods end.

Can we use our coins to opt out of death rolls?
Nah. The mask does not make soul offerings.

My threadmate turned in our thread already. Do I have to turn it in too to get a coin?
Yes.

How do threads with more than two people work?
In order to be able to redeem a thread, your character has to have contributed the minimum 8 comments normally in a standard coin thread. For instance, in order for all parties to be able to submit it, a 3-person thread has to be 24+ comments with at least 8 from each person, a 4-person has to be 32+, etc. Any participant with at least 8 comments can submit it for coin so long as the thread is at least 16 comments total.

The character I was threading with died. Can I still get paid for interacting with them?
Yep! Dead characters can no longer redeem coins, but you can submit the threads anyway.
