yunonThe Island:
The house is set within 100 meters of the north beach on a vaguely circular island about 30km in diameter. The sand is clean and the water is clear. There are waves.
There is a fishing dock visible from the house on the beach, and nets and fishing lines and hooks available. Fish and such caught will be those typical of Indo-Pacific waters.
Aside from the beach areas and clearing the house is on, the island is mostly tropical wooded area. Wild-life includes small rodent mammals. No predatory animals that would be a danger to the cast. Conveniently there are also no poisonous spiders or bugs, but if you want to find any type of wild plant that would grow natively in a fairly tropical, warm, wet area, you're free to.
The House:
( House Map )
If specifics aren't listed, feel free to assume the common trappings of a household or room, including food items. Pen, paper, ink pads, etc. in the office; nightstands, mirrors in bedroom, full range of knives in the kitchen, scales in the bathroom, toothpaste/brushes, over-the-counter aspirin in bathroom medicine cabinets, etc.
No personal artifacts (pictures, diaries, clothing not listed) that would hint at another owner or inhabitant. No TVs. No books.
If any major changes are made to any of the rooms or areas, post below in the given section. This can include leaving notes, messes, whatever. Feel free to comment anonymously if you don't want it known it was your character, just notify the RNG modsheep_dog . You should also probably make a post about it if it's something your character could be seen or caught doing, or which may lead to interaction. When in doubt try to prioritize interaction, such as making a post to have your character stake out an area, then have it done during some alone period before/after those interactions. Mods won't actually demand to know exactly when it's done unless necessary. For example, if one character was put on guard duty of a room and you want to do it secretly during a period it's under surveillance.
The Intranet/Network
Once registered, characters will have an e-mail address and can exchange e-mails on the intranet.
The internet doesn't work if the character tries to go to an outside site. Intranet only. Same for any cell phone they may have on them; no service, though they can sign on to the intranet with their cell phone if they were last sleeping/spaced out/whatever with it immediately on their person before arriving. Hope they have a charger; there are outlets all over, but no cell phone chargers.
Intranet only accessible from rooms with Wifi.
Each computer has a microphone and a web cam for audio or video input as well as serving as a digital camera that can be unhooked from the computer and charged by USB. The forums will take audio and video posts or replies as well as text posts. Images can be uploaded to the intranet freely.
All posts log the device IP address. Only the "OP" or top level poster can view the IPs of replies to posts on the forum. If a top (OP) post is made by the community (mod account) for everyone to respond to, IPs cannot be viewed.
E-mail recipients can see the IP of mail sent to them.
Video/Audio chats on forums work like text posts on the public forum; they can be seen by all, and the IPs can be seen by the OP only.
Private ones work like E-mail; since both are recipients, both will see the other's IP.
