The very first event in the game will be a mild celebration held at the Great Northern Hotel. Ben Horne, the owner of the hotel, is throwing a big party, inviting in the process the general inhabitants of the town, as well as a few investors he's trying to cajole money out of for a real estate venture.

All the players are expected to attend.

You could be a wealthy character that Ben Horne wants to weasel money out of. You could be a guest at the hotel that just wandered in. You could be a friend of someone who's going, or perhaps that person's date. You may even just be a party crasher. Irregardless, you have to be there, you have to "fit in".

I'll be running this day-by-day. The party is technically Day 0. After that celebration, it's Day 1, and you have 30 days after that to get ready for the ceremony.

You'll be running two characters in this game. One would be the Player. The other would be your Companion. They can be snooping out other Players while you're off working on the Game.

At the beginning of each day, you have a few choices.

It could be that it's a prime time to be at a certain place for a certain event. It will similarly be a prime time for others. If you choose to take advantage of current cosmological things, this will enable you to work on the game, and meet other Players in the field. Fun coincidence, eh?

Otherwise, you can just do whatever. Hang around town and look for gossip. Go sight-seeing. Plant bombs in other Player's houses. Who knows. If a thread is getting to be long, and it won't prove to affect future events (like a general conversation), I'll just kick off the next day.

It's that simple.
