Don't Wake Derpy!
 
Welcome to October, the month of spoopy spoops! While there are many spoopy things that may come to mind, there is one spoop which reigns supreme....a tired, cranky, Derpy!
Kaderin, taking a much needed mini-vacation has entrusted Derpy into your care. As she walks out the door, she says juat one thing. "Whatever you do, DON'T. WAKE. DERPY!"

Welcome to Don't Wake Derpy, the luck-based task completion game where you will work both, as a team and on your own to complete sets of tasks. What does that mean? Keep reading and all will (hopefully) be made clear!

Game Explanation and Rules

Don't Wake Derpy is a luck-based task completion game with both group and individual play components. What does that mean?
  • Task success (or failure) is determined by players either rolling a die or using a random number generator (rng) based on information provided at the top of each task list.
  • A single task cannot be completed by multiple people. For example: PlayerA and PlayerB both attempt task #2, only the first person to generate or roll a success gets credit for that task.
  • All players must wait 10 minutes between successful task completions and their next task attempt.
  • If a player fails a task, Derpy will roll a die to determine a time punishment, which will effect ALL PLAYERS. This is an amount of time that all players must wait until they are able to continue play.
  • If multiple people fail, Derpy will roll for multiple penalties equal to the amount of fails and the time penalty will be the sum of all rolls.
  • Tasks do not have to be completed in order and in some cases, certain tasks can potentially prevent time penalties if they are completed before the first failed task occurs.
  • The difficulty of the sets of tasks will increase the more you manage to complete.
  • At the end of each completed task set, Derpy will roll 1d20 and will have everyone who participated in the set also generate/roll a number. For every person who is equal to or greater than Derpy's number, the currency earned per task will be multiplied by 2. (Ex: 10 people participated and 3 of them roll equal or greater to Derpy the total currency rate for the tasks would be x6)

Let me give you a brief example to demonstrate how gameplay works!


Make sense so far? Good!
Just a few additional things to note then.
  • Some light role-playing is welcome and encouraged, but it is not a requirement.
  • Keep all chatting and/or rp stuff pg.
  • Since Trisphee doesn't have any dice roll or rng codes currently, you are on an honor system, please only generate or roll once per task and be honest.
  • Derpy reserves the right to add additional restrictions or bonuses based on roleplay scenarios without warning.

Game Prizes
10 event currency per completed easy-medium difficulty task
20 event currency per completed difficult task
60 event currency per bonus "pro" difficulty task (unlocked on the last 2-3 days of the event or when all other task levels have been finished)
1 past event bundle/set to the person who completes the most tasks in total

Thankfully, Witchchylde remembers that Derpy loves donuts, so they grab one from the counter and hand it to Derpy. He hiccups and looks surprised for a few seconds, then wipes at his eyes and snout with the back of one paw before taking a bite. Now happy again, he waddles back down the hallway to the bedroom, eating his donut before resuming his nap.
After that, Witchchylde manages to clean up the dropped egg and scramble the rest of them properly in a pan instead of on the floor.

Aaaand I rolled a 1... why am I not surprised. Sorry guys!

Of course the coffee grinder is INCREDIBLY LOUD!!!!

There is a soft, almost imperceptible, vibration in the ground. It happens again. And again, getting slightly stronger each time. You glance at the counter and see a rippling effect in a glass of water. It triggers a flashback to that popular dinosaur movie that came out decades ago. The vibrations keep getting stronger. The dishes on the set table begin to rattle with each heavy step. Then they stop. You slowly turn your head to the doorway. Derpy is standing there, his bright blue eyes glaring right at you. You hold completely still. Unfortunately, Derpy isn't a t-rex. He can see you. With a deafening shriek that has the pitch of a compy, but the volume and duration of the t-rex, he launches himself at you and clings to your leg so tightly that nothing will get him off. It is so disruptive that everyone spends the next hour trying to calm Derpy and get him back to sleep.

Art

Feel inspired to draw out a scene that happened (or just want to give Derpy more fan art)? Go for it! If you submit an art, you will recieve a random bonus (either to boost your roll/rng or an item that can be used). It can only be used once though, ao use it wisely!

Also, Derpy may give out rare doodles too.

mdom 10-24-2018 12:02 AM

oooh can I try finding Derpy's bib? Would that be a D6 too?

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 12:11 AM

"Whoops! Meant to clarify that! Dice/rng will vawy by list and will be shown under the list title. But I'mma switch to 1d6/rng 1-6 on the fiwst one!"

(So yes.)

mdom 10-24-2018 12:33 AM

https://i.imgur.com/W0IWNLY.png

I feel like I used up my luck

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 12:37 AM

Mdom decided to immediately begin the potentially daunting search for Derpy's favorite bib. It was actually on the counter right in front of them the whole time. Fastest search ever.

"Congwats! You succeeded and can go again in 10 minutes!"

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 12:56 AM

Oh yay, I have an excuse to dig up the dice bag!

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 02:30 AM

"Yay, dice! What colors are they?"

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 02:41 AM

I have dozens of dice. I have green ones, marbled ones, ans clear amethyst ones that look just like a set of gems. I also have a couple of chaos dice, I think it's the 1 that's replaced with their chaos symbol, which really just looks like an asterisk with arrow tips.

Quiet Man Cometh 10-24-2018 02:41 AM

This won't leave my head and I'm annoyed by it!

Veshora 10-24-2018 06:43 AM

I shall try to... make donuts!
https://i.imgur.com/lUeWQAD.jpg

Veshora tiptoes into the kitchen and searches for a bag of flour. She grabs a bowl and pours five cups of flour into it. Then she adds half a cup of sugar, of which she inadvertently spills a few crystals onto the countertop. No big problem though, Veshora licks her finger and dips them one by one. What's next? She looks into the cookbook. Ah, milk! She pours one and a half cup into the bowl. Then beats two eggs into the mixture. She almost forgets the yeast, but fortunately remembers before she heats up the frying pan. A bit of vanilla extract should add an even nicer flavour. She kneads the dough and then lets it rest for a few minutes, nibbling raw dough from her fingers. She rubs a speck of flour off her face and checks the heat of the frying oil. Perfect! Just a few more minutes of work in complete silence and there shall be tasty, fresh donuts on the breakfast table.

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 12:15 PM

Yay, I found my bag of dice, forest green velvet bag! Oh, someone else is making donuts. Okay while Veshora's doing that, I'll cut up some fresh fruit!

Lessee if I have a blue d6.

Aw, no blue or even turquoise d6. But I do have a cool 'firestone' one! Speckled black and white with glowing yellow numbers. Well, they look glowy set in the dark material.

And I rolled a 4!

Okay, so when we start task 2, should I use my green and red bloodstone d20 or my sparkly silver glitter d20?

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 12:17 PM

Veshora:

As the first donut goes into the pan, the smell of fresh donuts wafts through the room and the sizzle of frying dough seems to echo through the house. In fact, it seems like it sounds much louder than it should. It it the kitchen's acoustics? Nervousness from Kaderin's ominous warning? Both perhaps? Derpy stirs a little and mumbles something quietly in his sleep. Thankfully, he remains asleep but it was close!

"Yay! You did it! In 10 minutes, you can twy another!"

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 12:23 PM

Witchchylde:

The search for a knife was probably the hardest part of your whole task. And they were in a knife block on the counter. Quiet as a ninja, you sliced up a nice variety of fruit and it looks delicious! Derpy may have moved around in his sleep a little, but he kept snoring away.

"Yay! Anover success! You can twy again in 10 minutes!"
"And use sparkly!"

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 12:34 PM

*carefully puts the bloodstone die back in the velvet dice bag*

Already dropped and cannot find my d100 that looks like an aquamarine... it must have rolled far back behind the computer desk, or else gone in another direction entirely because the rng hate is too real. (That's the one that goes from 00 to 90 to roll with the 0 to 9 that matches it.)

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 12:41 PM

"Oh no! Come back, die!"

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 12:59 PM

Yay, time to frost and decorate those donuts!

I rolled a 5!

mdom 10-24-2018 01:25 PM

Let me try slicing bread...

[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/RuSbHM3.png[/IMG]

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 01:43 PM

Witchchylde:
It was a sticky, messy job, but the nearly pro-level decorating of the donuts was worth it!
**Congrats! You and Veshora have each gained a Delicious Donut for completing the donut tasks! This donut can be used to distract and appease Derpy and will allow you to re-roll (or re-generate a number) on any failed roll.

Mdom:
Thanks to Witchchylde, you knew where the knives were. And tracking down some bread was pretty easy, too. In fact, it's beginning to seem like Derpy care is way easier than you thought!

Veshora:

Veshora 10-24-2018 02:20 PM

Oh, sweet! I'm sure that will come in handy.

(trying the next breakfast task once I'm actually on a proper computer, because this old machine decides to freeze on random.org)

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 02:30 PM

I'm getting the yogurt out of the fridge!

And I rolled a 4 again!

Veshora 10-24-2018 05:09 PM

Alright, let me try to... get honey.
https://i.imgur.com/oaYo0cp.jpg
Veshora looks around in the kitchen. Where could the jar of honey be hiding? A dark and cool place probably. But not the fridge, no. That would be too much cold. She decides to look in the cupboard next to the tea and coffee first. After all it would make sense to keep sweetener close to the hot beverages.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 07:24 PM

Witchchylde:
The inside of the refrigerator looks pretty messy, but after a little digging, you find a large container of Greek style yogurt. It's close to it's "best by" date, but still looks and smells fine.

"Yay! You win again! Maybe this round is too easy..."

Veshora:
At first, you see nothing but boxes of herbal tea and a bag of coffee beans, but what's that at the back of the cabinet? A brand new jar of raw, unfiltered honey fresh from the farmer's market! Why was it so far back in the cabinet? Probably just to keep a sweets-loving dragon's little paws out of it...

"You win again, too!"

XoGizmooX 10-24-2018 07:29 PM

Derpy forgot to text Gizzie that we had an event :(

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 07:39 PM

"Sowwy....I forgot..."

XoGizmooX 10-24-2018 07:57 PM

It's okay :) I share cake

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-24-2018 08:01 PM

"Yay! Cake is yummy!" Derpy sits on the floor, eating a piece of cake.

Witchchylde 10-24-2018 09:15 PM

Seems like now would probably be a good time to set the table so all this food we're preparing has somewhere to go when it's ready.

Another 5! Wow, if only the dice liked me this well in D&D... and this was a pretty risky task what with the plates and silver and all.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 01:08 AM

At this point, everyone is pretty sure that Witchchylde really is a ninja. The table is set beautifully and with only the occasional very soft sound as a plate, bowl or eating utensil was placed. Derpy doesn't even so much as twitch in his sleep.

Veshora 10-25-2018 04:54 AM

No one has done tea yet? Let me start and put a kettle of water on the stove then.
https://i.imgur.com/wFtj3ud.jpg
Veshora realizes she's up for a tricky task - after all some kettles whistle quite loudly when the water is hot, and she has no clue if Kaderin's kettle might be one of these. But then again sometimes you have to take risks both in life and breakfast. What would MacGyver do? She remembers that she saw some eggs in the fridge and decides to use egg cartons to soundproof the kitchen.

Witchchylde 10-25-2018 01:55 PM

Oh, need empty egg cartons? Okay, I'll scramble the eggs!

Ooh, I rolled a 2 this time... *cringes*

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 02:08 PM

Veshora:

Yer a wizard! Kaderin's kettle does whistle pretty loudly, although if you are very attentive, the large quantity of steam it emits prior to whistling is generally a good indicator. Were you watching the kettle closely? Did the egg carton trick work? Where on earth did you find that many egg cartons? No one will ever know, but Derpy remained sound asleep.

Witchchylde:
Unfortunately, that's a fail.
You may either use your Delicious Donut now to re-roll or save it for later in the game.

mdom 10-25-2018 02:26 PM

Let's try to make oatmeal...

https://i.imgur.com/bizCrFb.png

Witchchylde 10-25-2018 02:46 PM

Um, I'll use the Delicious Donut now, I think.

Oh good, back to four! Phew!

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 02:58 PM

Witchchylde:
Unfortunately, as you were moving the eggs, one slipped and fell. The crack as it hit the floor seemed to echo throughout the room. You hold your breath.

Mdom:
As you were starting on the oatmeal, the destracting wailing of Derpy almost caused you to spill the everything. Thankfully it didn't last long and the oatmeal, though possibly slightly over cooked, turned out pretty good!

Veshora 10-25-2018 04:15 PM

I have... a ton of egg cartons and no clue what to do with them. Anyone need some extra soundproofing?
Oh. Maybe I can use them as a tea infuser. Let's try to steep tea.
https://i.imgur.com/Tdniey9.jpg
Veshora cuts one carton apart and pours hot water into one of the pieces. It turns out a stupid idea, as the water softens the paper. She nevertheless shrugs it off as a learning experience - after all the kettle stunt worked out brilliantly. Grabbing a dishcloth she cleans the countertop and then searches for an actual tea ball to put the leaves in.
