Sestyra utilizes event threads to progress plot and reward character progression. Plot on Sestyra is planned to be very player driven, however, and events may become focused around the players themselves as they steer the plot.
There are three common types of events.
Speed Events are events that encourage very short, speedy posts. The aim is to finish them within a single day, and they're usually done if the GM and all parties involved are online and have the free time for it. They range from small events to move the plot forward to non-canon situations involving your characters for the sake of fun. They offer the smallest amount of rewards, but are generally a nice boost regardless. These often come without much of a warning as it's dependent on the GM's schedule. Anything goes in these events, based on the GM's discretion.
Minor Events are events where players sign up ahead of time. They're smaller scale and may be either plot important or take you to an alternate universe where a variety of things can happen. Posts in these will be normal length, and generally follow some kind of post order and time frame to post by. Their rewards are greater than Speed Events. Minor events may follow a different set of rules from Sestyra's reality.
Major Events are always plot important events and ones that will move story arcs forward in huge ways. Stats and roleplay ability are taken very serious in Major Events, and these generally hold the most amount of participants. The enemies in these threads will be the most powerful that Sestyra has to offer. The rewards in these threads are huge in comparison to the other event types, and note that even weaker characters can earn top prizes if they play true to their stats and the event itself. Players will be given a large advance notice of these events well before they go up.
Player Events are staff-approved events run by the players. If you get the go ahead from a staff member after discussing all the details, you as a player can launch your own event. They'll usually be smaller scale, no more impact than a Minor Event but you're still given plenty of freedom. Any rewards have to be staff-sanctioned, meaning a staff member has to be the one to give them out. As the site plot progresses more to be a player-driven one, players will be able to make more impactful Player Events. Player Events give players the chance to allow others to partake in your personal plots on a larger scale, paving the way for more personal roleplay later on.
