[ ARCHIVED ] [ task board ]

— OLD TASK BOARD —



CURRENT TASK BOARD CAN BE FOUND HERE.


In addition to the standard business jobs, there are also independent jobs, or "tasks," that can be done by anyone. These are more "mercenary" like in the sense that anyone can post one and anyone can take it. They range from asking for a helping hand to run an errand to gathering a hard to get item to exterminating a dangerous monster roaming too close to farms. Some jobs may even be related to the plot or an event.

Feel free to play around with the jobs. Some can even become mini plot events with the right people, and players can create jobs in relation or as a reaction to a posted job. You don't have to feel like you need to restrict yourself to the small blurb in the description, so have fun with it!

Every month, roughly twenty (20) potential job postings are placed on the board, with the occasional updates from submitted tasks. These jobs are posted in a large central bulletin board located in a building called The Task Center in Merchant's Square. It's overseen by a group who collects the fees, posts the listings, monitors who takes what, and gives the appropriate payment.

Jobs are an excellent way to not only get money, but also to create emotional drops because most jobs require more than one person. Even if the job itself could be done solo, it is still possible to bring in a friend to help. Unless the job specifies, there is nothing preventing the job taker from asking for aid. We do encourage that those taking the more "quest" like jobs to bring in a partner.

General Tasks are "repeatable" and can be done by multiple parties at various times. They do not require a partner although it is encouraged. Many of these can be considered as "soloable" and can be handwaved. Special Tasks are on a first come first serve basis and are considered more difficult than the General ones. It is safe to assume that any jobs requiring some aspect of fighting will be of higher difficulty and will need at least two people to take the target(s) down.

Jobs that are part-time in nature or have no definite ending period can be considered open for the entirety of the month. You are free to ask for more details and whether it can become a more "permanent" job for your character.

It can be assumed that payment is received upon completion, but only if the job is successful. We're going to trust the players and not require any link of "proof." So keep in mind that payment can be deducted or adding depending on job performance. If you have any questions about certain tasks and if payment would be altered under certain circumstances, just reply to your initial comment and we'll give you an answer.

Note: although handwaving jobs is allowed, you can only do so twice a month. Others you will have to thread out or have some kind of log regarding the job. For jobs that could be repeated indefinitely (such as part-time like jobs), the handwave limit does not apply.

The spreadsheet representing the task board can be found here.

To take on a job, select which one you wish to do and comment to the entry with the following form:

bindsthedead: (curious)

[personal profile] bindsthedead 2014-08-16 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Also, can you give me more details about the band of the lionesses? Stuff Sabriel might be able to find out if she asks around.
tactlesstactician: (Default)

[personal profile] tactlesstactician 2014-08-16 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
It might very well! Let me shoot you a PM so as not to clutter this up.
greatcleavage: (talky man)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2014-08-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Roy will get in on this. I mention it here, though I'll sign up for it properly below too... (Her offered reward is probably useless to him though, his sword is already incredibly magical.)

[personal profile] madeofswords 2014-08-16 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Archer would probably want to get in on this from afar--ala, sniping and hamstringing people from a kilometer or two away if it's out in the open.
selfmotivations: (• fake it if you don't belong here)

[personal profile] selfmotivations 2014-08-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Alvin would definitely help...and probably tell the rest of the crew so they might show up, too.
