Spoiler: Teaser Image An event brought to you by @BalrogTheGreat , @Dark Lord Stan , @FoRgE , @Gustwood , @Node , @Optimism , @solaruin and @Tallen ! * * * Opportunity awaits! The passenger and cargo ship Opportunity was getting ready for it's first trans-sector flight! The goal? To make a back and forth trip from the Antares Sector to the Tormenta Sector, allowing passengers to leave the sector and bringing precious resources back to the frontier! Or that was the theory. Hired as ship staff or as a passenger hoping to leave, you joined the Opportunity and set off, but what was going to be a smooth trip of a few weeks turned into a nightmare. The ship crashed before leaving Antares in it's first voyage. You are now marooned in an arctic planet with several others and scarce resources and have to find a way to escape. Help isn't coming - the distress signal has been completely busted and your absence won't be noticed for weeks at minimum. Band together, or try to stake out on your own. Split your resources with those who need them, or hoard them. Fight for survival! Power struggles! Features: - An entire wrecked ship! - Drama and excitement! - Genuine impromptu player interactions! - An end to BarRP! - Fit for both old characters and new! - Secrets to be uncovered! PLANET COORDINATES: X: -75 Y:135 Antares Be'el 6480 IV How to join and more information: Simply post here explaining who your character is while providing an IC explanation as of what he or she or it was doing in the ship itself (passenger, crewmember etc...) as well as a full inventory of what he or she or it was carrying.

PEEPS, HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK. To allow the maximum number of people to join, at four PM EST we're going to divulge the co-ordinates to the crash site. That is in five hours and twenty minutes from this post. Head right to find the crash site. Ideally, everyone wakes up at the same time, but of course folks are going to wake up at wrong intervals or maybe get stuck beneath the snow, so people will be slowly trickling in, and that is fine. Even if you have not entered yet you can still participate by simply filing the template. Cheers folks!
