THE SUGGESTION BOX:

On Day 1, the suggestion box rules were unlocked! Note that these rules are for OOC REFERENCE ONLY, and you will have to have your character figure them out ICly some way or another! If it helps, Akira has posted an IC version of these rules on the box for characters to read (courtesy of LWJ). But I'll enumerate on them OOCly for you:

1) The suggestion box will not take multiple requests at a time! If you write down more than one, it will yell at you :(

2) You can request one item at a time from the suggestion box! This item can be anything, such as an item from home (a weapon, a trinket, an article of clothing), or even something you didn't have at home (like medicine, sunglasses, whatever). You can request an item once an OOC month, starting on the 1st and ending to the last day of said month. There's a size limit on items, though: the box won't give you anything that is bigger than like. . . a person. So no cars or motorcycles or the like!

3) Not all suggestions will be granted! I reserve the right to throw rocks at your character instead. I'm sorry in advance.

4) Bigger setting changes (I'll let you guess what that means) will need more than one character making the suggestion for them to be implemented. To make this easy OOCly, you can have one character make the initial suggestion and then just have a bunch of people +1-ing it for my purposes. How many people are needed to implement bigger setting changes? About ten or so! Once a suggestion is made and processed, I as a mod wil add it to the setting whenever we have a bit of lull time ICly. I won't be giving you buildings every week, for instance! I may wait a few weeks between setting updates depending on how busy we are. It all depends!

5) I reserve the right to change the rules of the suggestion box if I get so many requests that I start dying, sweats. But I don't foresee this being an issue, so!!

Now that the rules have been unlocked, you do not have to comment to the suggestion box to get your monthly items from home/small items! In fact, I'd 100% prefer you not comment and that you just handwave your character got them somehow. However you are free to keep commenting with other suggestions for funsies b/c the box still has some fun little features! And ofc, if your character got their monthly item and is trying again, please also comment so I can give you a SPECIAL SURPRISE that is not a rock I promise. Maybe.

[The note is as follows:]

Dear Suggestion Box,

[He is probably not supposed to be writing a note TO the suggestion box, but this is fine.]

I write to you with a suggestion of imminent importance. One that I am almost certain wins the majority vote without having to vote at all; that is the strength of my confidence, that this request should belong at the top of the priority list for all the inmates under your care.

And it is a simple one, at that. I humbly request that we are sent back home, to when and where you found us, without the burden of our possessions in tow. It was a wonderful stay while it lasted — much appreciated all around, but the truth of the matter is that all good things must come to an end. In our departure, we shall wave goodbye to you, dear Suggestion Box, with handkerchiefs in-hand, and tears wetting our eyes.

Do not mourn our departure after you set us free. Remember us only in fondness, and we shall endeavor to do the same.

And, as the French say: adieu!

-HS

P.S. If this cannot be granted, I would like to reclaim my Stradavarius violin, no doubt collecting dust as we speak.

P.P.S. And the bow.

The violin cames gently his way because it is a Stradavarius.

The bow comes rocketing at him at top speed.
