NotEvilAtAll

OOC: Hello there! This is an event designed to simulate a single day of halfling life as best as possible. Everybody starts at the beginning of the hour, having just woken up. Their characters then go about their day as they would IRP, eventually falling back to sleep at the end of the hour, which ends the event. Working, eating, talking, and other things your character typically does in a day can and should be roleplayed. There will be a single roleplay prompt happening during the hour to promote interaction, but attending it isn’t mandatory. Feel free to do as you wish. The intention isn’t to attract a large quantity of halflings into one location at a time, but rather to create as much immersion as possible. SoL Event Checklist (Optional): -Wake up ( ) -Eat something ( ) -Do some task ( ) -Interact with someone ( ) -Eat another thing ( ) -Go to sleep ( ) RP: [!] A notice is pinned to the Dúnwen Noticeboard "The fields need weedin'! Weh've let them rest for ter long and now they've grown thick wi' thistles and dandelions! Come meet me outside next Pumpkin Day and oi'll set ye up with the proper tools! -Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Dúnwen" ((6 PM EST tomorrow, Monday the 25th of September, 9/25/2023.

"Oi hate dah ARUGULEANS!" says Mimosa Applefoot proud sea hater

With how isolated communities are nowadays, this probably varies wildly from place to place.

[!] A note is pinned to the noticeboard of Dúnwen Darkspawn Heretic Banished! ~A peculiar person in the river~ A foul construct (with bones inside and other oddities) called "Prolethius" crafted by an EVIL darkspawn overlord has been sent to our fair shire to DECEIVE US by claiming to be sent directly by Lord Knox! Do not believe his lies! He is an IMPOSTER and does not speak for the Pumpkin Lord! No longer shall this being be anywhere among us, for he is henceforth BANISHED to go lie to some other realm. This suspicious imposter darkspawn will be no more! KNOX defend the shire from heresy! -Mimosa Applefoot, local halfling and Mayor of Dúnwen.

Mimosa Applefoot visibly cringes upon reading this paper. ”T’ey mus’ beh mercenaries out o’ work t’ae call for othahs ter star’ ah war loike t’is’.“ she’d comment.

Most nations don't want to go full evil mode because... A: Often the baddies don't win aka their nation gets destroyed in the process of turning evil. B: If the baddies do win it's a map-ending eventline and your nation probably won't enter the new map except as sparse non-evil remnants or scattered refugees. The Undead didn't move onto Asulon after all. Besides you can be plenty evil just by declaring regular ol' wars of expansion and it's less likely to get your nation capital scripted to blow up. LOTC does not have the mentality to sacrifice the long-term survival of your community for narrative development so it's a hard sell.
