| | | TF's Currency System
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW . Simply put, residue is the currency system used on Twisted Fate. Residue is awarded for many things, including but not limited to:- Finishing a thread (be sure to post in the finished thread notification)
- Writing a fabulous profile
- Interacting with Fate or Destiny
- Doing something for the site that admins take note of.
- For every 25 post per character you will earn 1 Residue
You may spend your residue in the here. Please note that you may only spend your residue on yourself in the majority of situations. Residue can only be spent on others to buy cards or packs with their permission. Below you will also find a running tally of the residue every member currently has. Please do not hesitate PMing the staff if you have questions of concerns.Here is where you can check how much residue you have as well as spend your hard earned residue. When spending residue, there is a list of packs to pick from, and each pack has a different quantity. New stock will be added as old stock is finished up.. Each pack holds different prizes that will be hidden until paid for. These prizes will rotate or "reset" regularly per month. When purchasing packs, each member may buy as many packs as they would like but please try to be fair and not buy a bunch of packs at once, give others a chance as well.RULES Effective 11/22/2013
- New chars must have at least 10 post before you can buy a pack for them.
- If your char was recently identified/claimed/awakened you must wait three threads before buying an upgrade (and those three threads should mention something about the i/c/a in them)
- If you get a new item/creature you must wait three threads before buying an upgrade (and those three threads should mention something about the item in them)
- Not all events you buy will save a spot for you, so be quick once they go up.
- Items, i/c/a, and anything else from the packs can be forcefully taken away at anytime by the Admin.
- If you no longer want the item/creature/i/c/a/whatever you have and would like it removed speak with Jess. Though sometimes, mattering on the reason or the gift taken away, there may be negative effects.
- When starting with a IS item you much wait a total of at least one (real) month before buying an upgrade.
- When buying upgrades, after you get one upgrade you can not immediately buy another.
Note: Since this is a new system this prices may change at anytime mattering on how quickly packs are bought/sold out. Also, you can pick a pack and a title or just the pack and get a random sub-pack from it.

Also, because the residue count is managed by the admins and because there can be mistakes, we advise that you know (or have a general idea, at least) of how much residue you have earned. We do try our best to keep it updated and accurate but just in case we miss one, it might be a good idea to have an idea of what your residue count is. If you have any questions, problems, etc., always feel free to message any of the staff. We will be happy to help.
Random Encounter Card-- This card can give the user the lovely chance of a random encounter of either Fate, Destiny or one of their NPCs. This card is a gamble, but you do get the choice of which character to use this card on. The effect only works on the "youngest" time stamp. For example, if you have three threads, May 1st, May 25th and June 2nd, the random event will go to the time stamp June 2nd. The way this card works is we do a bunch of rolls for...
NPC: Fate, Destiny, Chaos, Lupus, or Impedio Society
And then we roll to see if the out come is Good, Bad, or Both
Then a roll for Good: which can be stuff like Clear Information, Canon, Safety, Plot, Item
or the Bad: Attack, Injury, Curse, Plot, Unclear Information.Five Residue, this card is instantly used when paid for. Six Residue if you want to use it on someone else character.
Random Boost Card-- This card can give you a random battle rank boost between .15 to .50 Please be warned that there is a 10% chance of this card giving a -.10 instead of a bonus, you have been warned. When using this card it can be used on any character in the thread of your choice(that you are in.), but it can not be used in event threads IF numbers have already been rolled and can only be used once per-character. Three Residue, this card can be held for future use.
Save Spot Card-- This card helps the owner by saving a spot in an open event. When this card is used all the user must do is make a quick post in the event stating: they are using their card, and what number they pick if there are numbers for the event. There is a small catch, the user has 24hours to post in the event, or the claim will be invalid and the card returned. Four Residue, this card can be held for future use. Limited 1 per-person.
Numbers Extra Roll Card-- With this card the user may have their numbers re-rolled in an event that they are in. This works by being used RIGHT after the first round of numbers are rolled and placed into effect. If a post is made after the roll you can not used this card, also you must own this card before the rolls are made. Then the user's numbers are re-rolled, the outcome can either be good or bad, but this card also adds an extra ratio. Meaning that if your first roll was with a ratio of 2:5 (You being 2 and the monster being 5) Then with this card, your next ratio would be 3:5 (Changing you from 2 to 3.) Can only be used ONCE in an event, by anyone. Six Residue, this card can be held for future use.
Life Line Card-- You guessed it, this card works in the thread of the user's choice(though you must be in the thread yourself.) to protect one char of your choice from death, granted extreme injury can still happen. Please use this card before any death occurs, it will be up to you if you feel like the card should be used or not. (BUT if you happen to own a lifeline card the staff will warn you if your char is in danger of death without the use of the card. This warning only works for you, you will not be warned for someone's char who's in danger.) Ten Residue, this card can be held for future use. Limited two per-player.
items that require admin approval
Extra Thread Slot-- You may spend one residue to buy a thread slot. If you have hit your maximum of three threads and need a fourth badly enough to move your plots along, you can spend a residue to unlock a thread. (It only works for that thread, so i later you make it to your limit of three and need a fourth again, then you must pay 1 residue again.) Please note - if both participants of the thread in question (or 3, or 4, however many) have all hit their max, all of them must pay for the extra slot. If you want to unlock even more threads, it will cost more residue - probably increasing the amount of residue needed by one for each thread (a 5th slot would be two, a 6th would three, so on). Please include a link to the thread you're using it in, or a description of who will be in it/what's happening. One Residue
Extra Character Slot-- If you have been an active member for two months or more you may spend five residue for an extra character slot. It is at out discretion to decide if you have earned this extra slot or not - if we see you have kept up with your characters so far, and have made a concentrated effort to keep them all active, then you should qualify. If you are declined, your residue will be returned. Five Residue
Extra PERMANENT Thread Slot-- Feel like you are always buying a extra thread slot for a certain character of yours? Well no worried, if you feel that one of your characters needs to bump their thread limit to 4 or even 5 you can now do that here! This time when you buy a thread slot for a character you get to keep it forever. Everyone starts with a limit of three normal threads per character, for some that is just not enough. So now if you want a forever 4th slot you just need to play 3 Residue, and for the 5th you only need to spend 5 Residue. (5 Slots is max) Three Residue (For 4th Slot), Five Residue (For 5th Slot)

INSERTION - Kittim Curtis, times out on June 14th IC.
INSERTION - Marcos Palmero, times out on June 14th IC.
INSERTION - Kyu-Sik Moon, times out on June 24th IC.
CLAIMING/IDENTIFICATION - Juliette Dubois, low bonuses, on hold by request
CLAIMING/IDENTIFICATION - Jess, any character, guaranteed claim/identify in next event
PERSONAL CHARACTER EVENT - Atticus Jaeger, date unknown
PERSONAL CHARACTER EVENT - Jun Shi Wei, June IC, Solo
PERSONAL CHARACTER EVENT - Alec Matthews, June IC, Solo
Character: Lucien Margaux
BLESSED HEALING - The next major wound your character suffers, they will heal from automatically. This healing takes approximately five minutes, and can happen either in an event (allowing them to get back to fighting), or after the event (preventing downtime). This will not work if the player is killed instantly (IE: decapitated), but will work if they are injured in such a way that would lead to death over a period of time (jugular cut).
Character: Gabriel Kingston
INTERACTION - You will be required to (select or randomly choose) an NPC from the following list: Impedio Society Generals Komau, Arcturus, Giovanni, Lupus, Chaos, Beta, or Illusion Elemental. This NPC will appear in a random thread and will interact with your character in some form or fashion - this can be good, bad, or entirely neutral, depending on the character. (Please pm Destiny with your pick) Lupus picked
Character: Naomi Irving
STRANGER THAN FICTION - A Fate creature traps your character and one or two others between the pages of a book of fairy-tales. Characters must act out key roles of the story in order to be freed. These roles are for you and the other participant to figure out through clues giving throughout the event. Upon completion, all characters will awake unharmed outside the book. If failed, they will be trapped inside forever.
Character: Theodoric Kobayashi
RUSSIAN ROULETTE - Your character is now cursed. They have to suffer some form of loss within the next three threads they are in, one that has to at the very least inconvenience them for the duration of that thread.
Character: Canis Minor
BETA TESTER - Beta, a velociraptor that was formerly an illusion but is now very much real, was the only escaped creature from the incident at the National History Museum. He now wanders back alleys, stealing scraps of food thrown out by restaurants and avoiding contact with humans. Your character will run into him during one of his hunts for food in the quiet, unused alleyways - what comes of this encounter is to be determined, however.
Character: Jun Shi Wei
ACE OF CUPS - The Cup brings forth healing. Your character will be able to heal quickly from the next major wound sustained.
Character: Kyu-Sik Moon
HELPING HANDS - Hello friend, I will be your little helper, how will I be of help? Well friend the next event you are in I will help you out, either with something that can physically help your character or with information. Look forward for my help because I am your new best friend.

While friendly, these birds seem to be coming from...well, no one is entirely sure. Except Komau. For some strange reason, while testing out an ancient relic, Komau has managed to enchant a turtle dove with the power of multiplication! It would be a bit inhumane to, you know, kill them, so find a way to get rid of them! And be quick - Arc and Giovanni are due to return to the HQ very, very soon! |
