Vampire: The Masquerade
Contest of Will
This entire website is being completely re-crafted and refurbished, which is a huge project. So if things seem incomplete in places or buttons don't link to anything yet, don't worry. It will all be reconstructed so the layout is easy to use and everything will be easier to locate.
FUN TIME TASKS
Unlike the required tasks in a Contest of Will Round that you must do in order to advance to the next round, and unlike Grapevine quests which open up as a result of actual events that occur in the game environment, the Fun Time Tasks are created by Mr. Confetti as part of the Contest of Will, and add "spice" to the rounds, in order to make more points, cash, and other prizes available to those who do them.
Also unlike the required tasks, where each competitor can only do the tasks in the round that he or she is in, any Fun Time Task listed is available at any time for any competitor to do separately or in groups. Some of the Fun Time Tasks can only be conducted once and then they are done. Some may be time-sensitive and will expire, while others will stay on the list perpetually, for every competitor to try and accomplish.
Most Fun Time Tasks can only be done by each competitor once, but there may be occassional Fun Time Tasks that are so much fun, you can do them twice, or thrice, even!
1) Find the Flag -
Mr. Confetti has planted a flag somewhere in the current location. Once it is found, Mr. Confetti will plant a new flag in a new location! The first competitor to find the flag wins! However, if multiple competitors find and see the flag at the same time then they all win.
Rewards: 200 points and a special melee or firearm depending on your personal preference.
OOC: This is an Adventure Task and is a one-time action. Once the flag is found, the task is off the board until the next flag is planted.
The Pirate Flag - Found by Mortimer and Reverend Thomas in Prince Modius' vault.
The Nottinghamshire Flag - Currently hidden somewhere in Cabrini Green in Chicago!
2) GARY PRESTATION TASK - Engage in the Art of Prestation by doing a service for a Kindred. That Kindred will then owe you a favor! That's how it's done. There are only a few Kindred currently in Gary, that reside there. Once they are all used up, this Fun-Time Task will permanently close.
Rewards: 200 points, a kindred in your debt, and a motorcycle. That'll help you get around the region quickly, eh? Rather than all that walking. The motorcycle will have a capability of 3 and will be customizable and upgradable.
OOC: This can be either an Adventure or a Strategy Task, and is available for every player to do, one time, at any point in the campaign.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Alexander Danov - Nosferatu Elder - Open. Leave a note for him in the sewers and wait for him to respond.
Allicia - Toreador Ancillae - Open. Found at Prince Modius' Mansion
Evelyn Stephens - Brujah Neonate - Closed. Performed by Salihah and Katarina.
Juggler - Brujah Ancillae - Open. Can be found at the Elbow Room Restaurant, which he owns.
Lucian - Gangrel Elder - Closed. Performed by Barry Marshall.
Michael - Malkavian Neonate - Closed. Performed by Pablo.
Prince Modius - Open. Found at Prince Modius' Mansion
3) GARY INTRODUCTION TASK - Gain an introduction to meet a Chicago based Kindred. You aren't going to be able to get things done if you don't know anybody in the Windy City. You must convince a Kindred in Gary to agree to introduce you to a Kindred in Chicago. There are only a few Kindred currently in Gary, that reside there. Once they are all used up, this Fun-Time Task will permanently close.
Though the Kindred you ask to give you an introduction will likely ask you for a favor first, you cannot use this as a 2-For-1 with a Prestation Task. You must do what he or she wants and then successfully be introduced to the new Kindred in Chicago to get credit.
Rewards: 200 points, $10,000 cash asset for your bank pool.
OOC: This is likely going to take up an entire game session, so all players available for a game session should vote for this as the quest that is being done, and should also vote on which Kindred is going to be approached.
OPPORTUNITIES:
Alexander Danov - Nosferatu Elder - Closed. Used by Mortimer (Graham)
Allicia - Toreador Ancillae - Open. Found at Prince Modius' Mansion
Evelyn Stephens - Brujah Neonate - Open. Can be found at the Elbow Room Restaurant.
Juggler - Brujah Ancillae - Open. Can be found at the Elbow Room Restaurant, which he owns.
Lucian - Gangrel Elder - Open. Can be found at the Gary docks.
Michael - Malkavian Neonate - Open. Can be found in Tolleson Cemetery.
Prince Modius - Open. Found at Prince Modius' Mansion
4) COLLECT A COP - The Gary police department has been destroyed by a full third of its officers by Marshall Barry. With the police department in flux, now is the time for the team to undermine Prince Modius' control of the police department and cause a huge shake-up. Can you cause the permanent departure of a department head and replace that person with a tool of your own?
Rewards: 300 points and $10,000 cash asset for your bank pool for every department you take over.
The department heads can be located at this link:

5) MYSTERY TASK! There are tons of mysteries in the region. What this means is that there's a lot of stuff that happened already and is happening now, and why it happened or who caused it is unknown. Uncover these by talking to Kindred and Kine, and, uh, other things, alike. Once you learn about a mystery, bring a team of competitors along to explore it and see what happens!
Rewards: Uncovering a New Mystery 250 Points, per player. Unlimited.
OOC: Mysteries are sometimes short adventures, but sometimes you can only get so far in a particular mystery, and they are often multi-part adventures. Different players may participate in different parts of the Mystery until it is fully uncovered, and updates on an open mystery will be a page on this website. The rewards for participation will usually occur in game, during the adventure itself. Some examples of mysteries include learning the fate of Kindred who went missing during the Lupine attacks and haven't been seen since. Mystery Quests given by a particular NPC who wants to learn about something that happened that he can't understand and needs investigated, or mysteries involving other species or world of darkness creatures such as mages, faerie, or demons that are also interested in the region, often attracted by the carnage and violence that occurred, or sensing weakness in the once solid vampiric control and wanting to usurp it for their own species.
While from that description it may appear that Mysteries are exclusively Adventure Tasks but they aren't. There will often be research or investigation tasks that can be conducted as part of the e-mail roleplay. Players can therefore work cooperatively and those that won't be able to make a session with the next part of the adventure can still move the mystery forward and gain valuable experience points in doing so, by using a Move on the mystery.
6) BAG AN ANARCH!
Prince Modius has announced that he will reward anyone who captures an active member of The Anarch Movement alive for interrogation will be awarded $50,000 in cash! Mr. Confetti has decided this is a great fun time task and has added it to the list. The 50K will be immediately added to the competitor's cash bank.
Anyone capturing an Anarch and delivering him or her to the Prince will receive +10 trust from Modius, but -50 trust from all members of the Anarch Movement.
