im just gonna wait until tonight to reply (2 exams today…) but I have one comment for now!

Ooo yeah! It might be cool to have different sections of the festival and have it be sort of a ‘choose your own adventure’ sort of thing like Mystery in November I think? (I’ll go check which cabin it was bwahaha <3) But that might add a little too much complexity— what do you guys think?

that definitely sounds good, but yeah I agree, maybe it would be too complex as well… I think right now the main focus of the festival is on the characters (compared to the locations) and I know that in the past, some of the storylines of cabins I co-led weren't as good bc we tried to do too much, so I definitely think we shouldn't make it too complex (at least at the beginning!)

edit: YAYYY NEW PAGE

FINISHED MY EXAMSSSS!!! YIPPEEE

Yeah I get that! I feel like we should def focus on the characters and stuff and if we feel like we could realistically add a little more later, we can come back to this <33

Aaaa congrats Clev!!! I have 3 more left but I’ll be done tomorrow hehehe

Also just letting you guys know on Friday I won’t be active until around like 4:00 PM EST— we aren’t allowed to bring any technology on the last day of school <3

Edit: also I’ve already told Clev this but just so both of you know— I’m making a Bi-Fi playlist, so if there any songs you think match the vibe or want on there, lmk!

eeek my exams start next week–congrats clev and good luck kiara!!!

Yaay sounds good <33

Also just checking that you saw my storyline post (responding to what you guys said) on the previous page? Just asking because I know from experience that forum notifs/clicking can be a bit finnicky with pages, but if you saw it and are just waiting until you have time, apologies and no rush to respond to all of that <333

yep i did see it and start working on my post in PE, but then in 6th period I accidentally closed the tab :sob: here's the gist of it though:

Ooo I love that idea! So maybe the first couple days to the first week is just them like getting to know the characters and exploring and then the darkness is revealed?

we could totally utilize the characters for the reveal! i also really like the idea of one of us having to be saved–or maybe one of our characters is the first one to be spelled and wreak havoc in the bifi cabin then we can go on with our ordinary leaderly tasks without having to seem different, if that makes sense xD

but then we would have different characters - the one/s that are affected by the dark magic (turned “evil”), the ones who campers can go to for questioning + challenge help, and the one/s who are responsible for the darkness TT that's a lot (just throwing ideas out there tho <3)

Yess! Like someone whose like ‘here have some information for free’ but it turns out to be the wrong information?

that's great! i think we could have descriptions of each characters' attributes in a project, and campers can reference from that in order to decide whether they want to trust that character or not, or confide in them for help. then campers can confirm with us about their decision and we could help drop subtle hints (sry if that sounds confusing lol)

btw i was thinking if we were to have a betrayal in the end, the character who is caused the darkness could be one that's very kind and unsuspicious :0 then it would be a “you never know who you can trust” kind of thing

Scavenger hunts are my favorite hehe <33 And yes! I would love to have the characters work on helping out with some challenges like if the campers need extra people but there aren’t that many people active <3

yess that would be really cool! (i had another idea for htis off the top of my head in PE but i forgot it bruh)

Ooo yeah! It might be cool to have different sections of the festival and have it be sort of a ‘choose your own adventure’ sort of thing like Mystery in November I think? (I’ll go check which cabin it was bwahaha <3) But that might add a little too much complexity— what do you guys think?

i agree i think we might have to create complexity and background for the characters already, but maybe they can go along with the locations..like a merchant and a food stall could go together. i've never really been in a choose-your-own-adventure cabin before(?) so how would that work?

I think it would be cool to give them like a starting amount instead of having them start at zero, and there are certain things in-storyline that they can save for, as well as cabin merch! And then they can earn more coins by doing dailies/weeklies/etc.

ooh yeah! we can give them a bag/handful of coins during the storyline intro at the beginning of camp, and be like “go explore and look around, there's a lot of magical things everywhere bla bla”

We just time traveled back a year :zany:

ayyy - i kind of thought you did it on purpose so people would think it's an old post xD /lh

i lowkey dont really have the energy to reply today (recovering from the tests…. help xD) but i really really like the ideas so far!!!

Hmmm lets think about this:
We could probably get away with four induvidual characters, and would we want the three of us to be listed as ‘characters’ as well? Like we wouldn’t know a lot but it might be fun to have us be suspects as well? So here’s what I was thinking in terms of amount of characters:
- 1 spelled character
- 2 other characters the camper has to choose to trust
- 1 character responsible for the darkness
- the 3 of us???

But if we want more we can probably find some very active other co/leaders to use as volunteers and have them run accounts as well <3

Ooo I like the idea of having a projecct!
And yes that makes sense ahaha <3
I would love to have the ‘innocent’ character be in charge of the darkness hehe

Basically we post a comment that’s like “here are your options, what do you want to do?” And campers vote on it, and then based on what they choose they unlock something new! I’m in class right now so I don’t have that much time but I’ll try to dig up the link of the cabin I have in mind here in a sec

Don’t worry about it Clev— take your time and come back whenever you have the energy and bandwith to, exam season is incredibly stressful </3

Yesss omg

HI THIS IS MY DAILY IM AT SCHOOL NOW POST

imma respond soon (hopefully I have a free period in science)

Okay hi! I'm back and bearing a link: this is closest choose-your-own adventure that I can find at the moment, I'll do some digging to find more examples, but this was the storyline thread from Mystery, November ‘24!
They didn’t complete their storyline, from what I can see, and looking back it might be more complex than I was really looking for for this cabin, but whatever you guys think is best works with me <33

Edit: also what do you guys think about a sibling duo with Sci-Fi? I thinkkkk most other cabins have duos/trios ironed out, so I don't really want to wait until the last second for this <33

oooh it looks very cool! but yea it does seem complex, maybe the characters’ responses can just be the interactive aspect of the cabin unless we really want to delve deeper on the storyline. for our next steps with the storyline we could figure out a chain of events, like the different things that happen to the campers along their journey?

i’d love to be siblings with scifi!!

IM HERE NOWWW eek theres a lot

i'm not sure how the dark magic is going to play out, though–mabybe the citizens are suddenly being cursed or turned evil?

i think us being citizens will help with the suspense of the storyline since we won't know that much (although drawing elf ears for matching pfps would be really cool lol) we could be new people in charge of the festival presented with the problem of the dark magic
Wait I love the idea of us being like new management of the festival!


For the darkness reveal, maybe we could utilize the characters, like have them tell the campers there’s something fishy going on? Or maybe one of us could be turned ‘evil’— kind of an opposite from the classic ‘ one the leaders is behind it’ to ‘one the leaders needs to be saved?’ What do you guys think of those two ideas— do you have a pereference or another suggestion?

that looks like a great list, and yes it would be nice for the three of us to be listed as characters too! that's definitely a good amount, and the spelled character can help drop hints about who the perpetrator might be, although that may depend upon what specific spell they were cursed with (like if they're unable to talk then nvm XD). then the campers would have to decide between 3 characters and maybe even we can be on the suspect list–but that might make it complicated so maybe we can just narrow it down to the 3 characters? counting us that would be in total 7 characters, which i think is already a lot so we won't need other helpers (that would be very fun tho!)
