Crescent

As The Crescent:
Every Monday, the Crescent will meet with the Signs and be given the opportunity to grant one other player immunity for the week. This immunity will allow the player to live for that week even if they are chosen as a victim by the Corrupted.

Should the Crescent choose to protect someone and that person is selected as a victim, however, the Crescent's name will be provided as the victim and they will die in that week to protect the chosen player.

The Crescent will also be allowed to submit a name for a victim in order to protect someone else. If they are concerned that someone they wish to protect will be chosen by the Corrupted, they may enact a trade to sacrifice another player. While there is no guarantee that the name they've offered will be chosen, this action will earn favor among the Signs.

The choice must be made at the time of the meeting. The Crescent only gets one meeting per week and they must choose wisely if they wish to protect someone and risk their own life, or offer someone as a failsafe sacrifice. (i.e. "I would like to protect X" versus "should X be chosen by the Corrupted, I would like to substitute Y.")

When the Signs seek to summon the Crescent, a portal will appear when they finds themselves alone. Upon entering the portal, they will be brought into a tea room where the Signs are waiting for them. When their visit in the room concludes and they choose to exit, the portal will disappear. The Crescent will find that no matter how long they spent in the tea Room, no time has elapsed outside of the portal.

Additional notes:
The Crescent will be allowed to ask questions about the ongoings of the game and communicate with the Signs in their weekly meetings. They will be able to also receive small hints in the game should they perform well, including game mechanics, locations and more. However, the information received will be up to the Signs' discretion.

Best of luck.

But if it doesn't...then we're faced with the same problem. So there has to be another way to make people realize morality can't always be what drives us. It's something I have to remind myself sometimes, too, but I get it's harder for others.

[tothemaxwell]

Morality... hmm.

It's a human concept. A determination to distinguish what is "right" from what is "wrong".

Rather than morality, or a fight against "evil"... the next best thing would be establishing a shared goal of best intent. We work together, animus aside, or at least temporarily abandoned, to do what is best for someone other than ourselves.

[cyclists]

So. Kind of like sacrifice then. If everyone's working together and willing to sacrifice themselves...you sure there'll be people left? [He's trying here.]

[tothemaxwell]

Ha ha ha. It would be the equivalent of everyone offering everyone else the last slice of cake on a plate, wouldn't it?

I do not think any form of sacrifice is easy, or clean. Whatever end we arrive at, it will not be without a number of troubling sacrifices.

Now I turn the question on you, Sol. You must have thought about this at some length, and talked with many others—are you favoring any path in particular?

[cyclists]

Of course I've thought about it, even if there isn't much we can do ourselves to get there. [Hm...] I just want a path where the the core will provide the answers for those who're looking for them. A path of light will help more than a path of darkness, but...at the same time, I don't want people to be entirely afraid of the darkness either. Does that make sense?

[tothemaxwell]

It does, completely. Balance must be maintained. Those too greedy for the light are the equal of those consumed by darkness.

In simpler words, all light casts a shadow.

[cyclists]

Exactly. Sometimes people get too focused on their goals to reach the greater good that they hurt more people and worlds that way. I don't want that to happen. If a balance can be maintained, it's probably better.
