Fourth Wall / Visitor Event (2nd-5th of January)
Date: 2nd-5th of January
Location: Within all echo boundaries
Who: All fictional characters
• Opt-in through a "-fourth wall" tag. There will also be posts put up by the mods to allow the fourth wall characters to put up threadstarters in log or network post format.
• There will be the following events/activities in the various echo boundaries during the 4th wall (visiting characters and current StE-characters alike are "numbered"):
- 2nd, all locations: A sudden surge in Vermini and Vermedi activity! Some of them are aggressive towards the numbered and will attack, but some seem rather interested in herding or baiting people with numbers towards other people with numbers... They clearly want as many numbered as possible to be together or at least not be alone today.
- 3rd, Lapland: There's a snowmobile race north of Rovaniemi and someonethat totally isn't an alien, why would you think so signed up a good number of people that all happen to have numbers. Will you take up the challenge?
- 4th, all locations: Something is off. Numbered will find themselves teleported to random places within the echo boundaries - perhaps you are now in the middle of dark, snowy Lapland, or in the heat of the Australian jungle? In a casino in Las Vegas or a castle in Germany? Or in your friend's shower in Locke?
- 5th, Las Vegas: Bestselling author Roy Locke is cooperating with some of his fans and a few people from media and politics to throw a New Year's party, especially inviting all those who have numbers. He would like to meet as many numbered as possible!
You are free to tag around to your heart's content even after the fifth, but no new posts may be made anymore.
Information for visitors
• The basics of StE can be found summarized in our new player guide.
• This might be called fourth wall event, but please do not truly fourth wall other characters. Simply use the "slightly different" method, for example: Even if your character watched Star Wars on TV, they will now have watched "Star Battle" in which Lucas Moonrunnuer is Dark Viper's son, so they can't tell Luke Skywalker about his parentage.
• Allowed are all fictional characters. This includes, appable characters aside, also characters that have too little canon information to be apped as well as CRAUs from other games. This excludes real persons, personal accounts, and so on. Doubles of characters that are already in the game are fine. If you're uncertain, please ask!
• There are two ways for characters to come into StE for the fourth wall:
• Both types of visitors may not leave the echo boundaries (Locke City (America), Las Vegas (America), the Neuschwanstein Area (Germany/Austria), Lapland (Finland) and the Christmas Island (Australia) (for brief descriptions of the locations check the setting page). They will simply vanish if they do and respawn on the platform of the teleporter in Locke City, no matter where they left the boundaries.
• Visitors will have access to the network: This means that all visitors will have their very own number, and by writing this on any surface will be able to access the text, audio and video function that connects them with all other characters. Please note that there are only two privacy settings: Open to all and locked to one single person; there is no in-between.
• For more information, either check the navigation or ask below in the General Questions thread!
Information for current StE characters
• Once the 4th wall is over, all that happened will be forgotten by numbered and unnumbered alike, and all that the visitors altered will vanish. Newspapers, security cameras, etc will simply not cover the days between the 2nd and the 5th. With one exception: If the player wishes so, every character can keep one brief memory and one minor item.
• It's perfectly fine to bring in characters for the fourth wall that are too close to other characters of yours to app them!
• Up to two 4th Wall threads can be used towards AC.
Please use this post to plot among yourselves, announce whom you might bring, request characters... And direct all questions and comments to the mods to the "General Questions" thread below and not the post in general.

• There are two ways for characters to come into StE for the fourth wall:
- As they are in canon/their original universe. Players are asked to modify their characters at their discretion if alterations are necessary (to have them survive or not break the universe upon arrival, etc). You do not have to powercap/humanize your character unless it severely impacts their ability to function in-game!
- As StE-AUs. Characters that come in AU-ed may have up to five echoes by the end of the fourth wall - these can either be gained during it or already be present at its beginning. Please do not use the echo post for these, but this thread. If such characters app afterwards and are accepted, they may retain these echoes, though they will, like everyone, not remember what happened during the fourth wall.
