ROUND ONE TASK LIST
So you've made it to Gary, and checked into The Hotel, the very first task on the list. Now you are officially a competitor and may begin the game immediately. You may make moves independent of your fellow competitors or you may choose to ally with them to do cooperative tasks. That is up to you. Good luck and may the nastiest Kindred win!
Required Tasks
1) PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY --
Task: Meet with the Toreador Prince of Gary, Modius, at his estate and receive official permission to create a personal haven, hunt, and take over businesses to create a resurgency in Gary.
Mr. Confetti's Note: You will need to do this first or risk pissing off the Prince of Gary, Indiana! Oooh, scary! We aren't sneaking in, after all. I have already cleared it with him that lots of Elders will be coming in to bolster the community, so he is not going to refuse you. I have even informed him that some of you aren't necessarily known for being involved with the Camarilla, but have agreed to follow the Traditions and any of his other rules while in his Domain.
Rewards: 100 Points!
OOC: As the adventure on this quest has already taken place, all new players as well as NPC competitors will to their introductions as part of their strategy turns for the evening.
2) Enhance The Hotel by increasing its defense, capability, or influence rating by spending $5,000 of your cash bank.
Mr. Confetti's Note: Yeah, for now you are stuck in The Hotel! I'd work together to fix it up and make it a haven that's safer and more conducive to your plans.
Rewards: 100 Points!
OOC: Strategy Task, Cooperative-asset sharing. You do have to put your 5K in solo via one of your Strategies for the week.
3) Acquire a Business Asset in Gary, Indiana by taking it over.
Mr. Confetti's Note: This is it! Between this and the municipality you get to start creating influence and profitability for yourself in the region. You will want to pick something that you can really build into greatness over time, that will eventually bring in lots of money to ensure your cash flow is always positive.
Rewards: 50 points plus $100 cash asset to your bank pool per week.
OOC: Strategy Task, Solo
4) Enhance all aspects of your business to level 2
Mr. Confetti's Note: Okay, so you acquired a business. But it stinks! It has level 1 ratings in all three areas: Capability, Influence, and Defense. That's no good at all. Enhance that sucker up a notch, in all three areas. You'll need to spend $5,000 in cash assets to improve from level 1 to level 2 in each area, so this is a 15k investment to advance.
Rewards: 100 points, plus the profitability of the business increases to $500 cash asset to your bank pool per week.
OOC: 3x Strategy Task, Solo.
5) Acquire a Municipal Asset in Gary, Indiana by taking it over
Mr. Confetti's Note: Business assets build cash. But Municipal assets gain you true influence in a region as with them you will be able to make things, or prevent things from happening. Other Kindred will need your permission to use your asset, or may need to ask a favor of you. Yeah, baby, that's the ticket!
Rewards: 50 points plus +1 Trust with Prince Modius
OOC: Strategy Task, Solo
6) Enhance all aspects of your Municipal asset to level 2
Mr. Confetti's Note: Having a municipal asset under your control is worthless if the asset is incapable of doing anything properly. You need to build this up to at least a level of some capability.
Rewards: The ability to now fuck with everybody! Also, +1 trust with Prince Modius
OOC: Strategy Task, Solo
Special Rewards - Required Tasks Round One
First Place Finisher -- The first Kindred to complete all 6 of the Required Tasks is declared the Race Winner. You will receive the following prizes: $100,000 cash assets for your bank pool, and the Ghoul of the Week, a personal bodyguard who is an ex-green beret sniper to protect you or run dangerous errands for you, so that you don't have to.
Second Place Finisher - The second Kindred to complete all 6 of the Required Tasks is declared Runner Up Race Winner. You will receive the following prizes: $50,000 cash assets for your bank pool, and a bullet proof speedy car to drive! The car has a capability and defense of 3. That's nice!
LeaderBoard Winner - The Kindred who is the first to 1000 points gets the Points Leader Prize. It is not possible to get 1000 points without doing some Fun Time or Grapevine Quests, so this will likely distract from winning the Race Winner prize.
The Leaderboard Winner gets the following prizes: $50,000 in cash asset to your bank pool, and an armored yacht docked in the harbor that can be used as a haven, mode of transportation, or base of operations. The yacht starts with a capability and defense of 3 each, it is not a piece of junk. It's decent and can be built up further.
