Default Atlantis FAQ





Quote:
Amid the chaos of their temporary holding chambers in the Department of Mysteries' Chamber of Codes as well as the mayhem involving several Ministry employees taking a literal swim in various locations about the Ministry and the patient individuals who dealt with them, the Atlantian artifacts were recovered and returned to Atlantis. Upon receiving the conch shell and trident, intense negotiations ensued between the rescue team headed by the Minister for Magic and representatives from the Department of Ecological Regulation and Protection. All those mernapped, were safely returned to the surface and without harm and with the merpeople's lives changed forever thanks to the influence of their temporary residents. While animosities surely remain between merpeople and wizardingkind, the civil war that once threatened the mermish tribes has dissipated and the seas and oceans safe once again. As an act of goodwill and with the fervent hope that bonds be mended and strengthened, the Merchieftess of Atlantis has decreed its doors remain open to wizarding visitors and other tribes around the oceans and seas surrounding the United Kingdom have followed suit.
Welcome to the Atlantis FAQ thread! In honor of the conclusion of the 2018 Ministry of Magic plot and the ever expanding SnitchSeeker RPG, the department head team and RPG admin have decided to add Atlantis as a permanent extension to the Wizarding World here on site. Functioning just like the Diagon Alley and United Kingdom subforums, now anyone can play their characters here!

Quote:
How would my character get to Atlantis?
Our Atlantian brethren are quite taken with magical impenetrable bubbles, so once a witch or wizard has approached the wet sand (enough for toes and shoes to get wet) and waved their wand towards the open waters, a bubble will be summoned to them. Think of it much like an under water version of the Knight Bus.

SPOILER!!: previous information as it pertained to the IC 2108 Ministry of Magic RPG Plot
Welcome to the Atlantis FAQ thread, an information thread dedicated to clear up all the bits and bobs during the IC 2108 Ministry Plot. This thread will provide information specific to the use of this forum as well as overlap on some overarching plot details. This thread may be updated as the plot progresses and whenever that happens it will be bumped.

Quote:
Who was taken captive by the merpeople?!
A total of 12 hostages were taken by the merpeople:
  1. Alessandro Toussaint (pundantic)
  2. Damian Pendragon (Helios Sunrider)
  3. David Truebridge (BanaBatGirl)
  4. Eros Sweeting (Samia)
  5. Gabriel Melo (Waddles)
  6. Gunnar McCarthy-Toussaint (emjay)
  7. Joana Veiga (sweetpinkpixie)
  8. Kingston Dolph (Charely Potter)
  9. Oceanus Zunther (Kolyander)
  10. Sam Gusey (Cassirin)
  11. Skye Tamerlane (SilverTiger)
  12. TiaMarie Mancini (PhoenixRising)

These characters were selected at random from spinnerwheel.com in which every character posted was entered into the draw. Some were contacted after the draw because their character's actions placed them in a position where being mernapped was very plausible. Possible victims were all contacted by PM to explain the situation and asked their permission of participation.

Quote:
WHY did the merpeople do this?! Wasn't the event supposed to be about making friends?!
You may recall a Daily Prophet article some time back that touched on some tensions among the merpeople of the wizarding world. At the gala itself, the merchieftess accused all of stealing something precious from her kin. Then there is the strange behavior that several ministry personnel have been exhibiting, not only at the gala but before as well. How, if at all, are all these things connected? The bread crumbs have been dropped...see if you can follow them before they get too soggy

Quote:
The Ministry gala was IC January and it's already much later in the IC year [May as of the time of this forum's launch], so have these characters been missing for months already and the Ministry only starting to act now?!
It was never the intention to keep any characters for such a prolonged period, like one year. The truth of the matter is that IC time simply moves much more quickly than OOC time (the gala opening in IC January and the RP now progressing forward in IC time), and we ask that everyone be a little flexible with their TLs during this plot. Our aim was to give everyone the time and opportunity to be able to play their characters in a meaningful way during the gala event and appropriately react to the plot, which means it is simply not possible to contain all these enriching RPing experiences within a narrow window of OOC time to remain within the IC month’s parameters. Along that same vein, we are asking no one to retcon any RPs with their characters that have taken place within the IC months that have passed since the opening of the gala thread. Characters are asked not to post in the RP areas on site until this plot is resolved to avoid conflicting timelines henceforth, and they'll only really be gone IC for a limited amount of time (several IC months) rather than an entire year...that is...assuming the merchieftess' demands are met! From the moment the remaining 'land dwellers' returned to the surface, efforts would have begun in earnest to rescue those taken. A little flexibility will help everyone enjoy these developments and the plot to its fullest.

Quote:
WOW! Can I post in this subforum?
For the time being, posting is exclusive to those 12 members whose characters were taken captive. Any other posts will be deleted. In the future, there may be opportunities for other characters to post in Atlantis as the Ministry's plans for rescue come to fruition. You are welcome to view the forum and stalk in the meanwhile!

Quote:
Is there someway that the captured persons' wellbeing -or lack of- are ever reported to their loved ones?
Once everyone else returned to the Ministry, the department heads (or their delegates) would have done a headcount to confirm who was missing. Based on their employee records, the head of MLE would have contacted their emergency contact. For those who were captured but not Ministry employees, the employee they attended the gala with or that employee's emergency contact would have sought out their next of kin.

Quote:
My character has been captured...do they still have their wand?
Alas, wands were confiscated immediately and are being kept somewhere within Atlantis far out of reach of their owners.

Quote:
Mernapping happened while everyone was all dressed to the nines and all fancy pants. Does this mean that everyone is stuck in those clothes during their capture?
Very bare essentials have been offered by the merpeople for options to change into. Clothing woven from kelp and other seaweeds would be an option, as would clothing discarded by humans into the sea or that found their way into the waters by other means. These items would have been collected by merpeople as a means of protecting the oceans. There is plenty of wiggle room for creativity here as to just what sort of attire characters have managed to put together for themselves. Or, if they wish to, they can stay fancy.




Any questions may be directed directly to any member of the department head team via PM.
