When I first saw it was searchlight i forgot we were in berlin in the 60's and i thought it was rather bold for there to be an event based on the boston catholic church child abuse scandal.

SEARCHLIGHT EVENT

Your contact has information that could help expose a random wolf role of a player in East Berlin. Her information is incomplete, however. To make use of it, she'll need to someone to make it over the Wall to rendezvous with her compatriots and deliver the intelligence. She can't do it herself, as this would jeopardize the Resistance network. This is where you come in.

The five of you must try to sneak across No Man's Land and across the Wall into West Berlin. Anyone who makes it over will receive individual prizes. If at least three of you make it over, then information regarding this random wolf role will be broadcast in the West Berlin thread. If all five of you make it over, the prizes will be greater, including a potential peek.

But such an attempt across this treacherous stretch does not come without risk. The area around No Man's Land is studded with patrol towers, where armed guards use searchlights to sweep the ground and expose defectors. After careful observation, you think you've figured out how to time the lights and get across. Yet there's no guarantee of your safety if you fail...

EVENT RULES

Here's how this will work. Each of you must successfully move across No Man's Land three times to make it to the Wall. You must then evade detection by the searchlight once more before going over.

Moving Across No Man's Land

When I give the signal, players will attempt to move by posting some variation of MOVE in the thread. The success of this move will be determined by the last digit of your post's forum post number.

If this number is 2, 4, 6, or 8, you advance part of the way across No Man's Land.

If this number is 0, you stay where you are but are guaranteed to avoid the searchlight.

If it's any other number, you judge that it isn't safe to move, but you are partially exposed.

The Searchlight

Once every player has moved, the searchlight will sweep the area. I will rand and reveal a number from 1 to 100 for the searchlight. If the last two digits of the searchlight number are within 15 in either direction of the last two digits of your previous move post, the searchlight catches something out of the ordinary near your position and you gain a strike; the escape attempt is then closer to being detected.

(Feel free to try and time your posts to minimize the chance that the searchlight will find multiple players at once.)

Important note: You are only at risk of being seen by the searchlight if you have moved successfully at least once or if it is round 4 or later.

A player who has moved successfully three times must evade the searchlight on the round of their third successful move before going over the Wall. If they don't, they do not gain a strike, but they must rand another number next round and evade the spotlight that time.

Detection and Fleeing

The East Germans will detect the escape attempt once any player gains three strikes or once eight rounds have passed and not everyone has gone over the wall. Any player not yet over the wall is exposed.

Additionally, at any point during this event, a player may decide to flee to safety by posting FLEE in lieu of a move. If the last digit of that forum post is even, they make it back to East Berlin and the rest of the escape attempt continues. If it is odd, then the searchlights find that player and the escape attempt is detected (i.e., all remaining players will not be able to cross the Wall). If one player tries to FLEE on a turn, other players may also try to FLEE if they have not yet made their move. If a player successfully flees without the escape attempt being detected, the others may choose to continue the escape without them.

Escape Detected!

The wolf team has many contacts within the East German police. If an escape attempt is detected, the wolves will have two options:

1) To expose the full role of an exposed player in the thread. That player cannot be protected from any killing actions that night, and any prior protective actions placed on that player will fail.

2) To privately receive the full role of one of the exposed players. If that player is a non-wolf, they will be roleblocked tonight. The wolves may then attempt to fire one 15 percent vig shot at the exposed players for every player who is exposed. The targets of the shots will not be divulged.

Successfuily Over the Wall

As indicated, every player who makes it over the Wall will earn an individual prize. If all five players do, the prizes will be greater. If at least three do, a random wolf role from the East Berlin thread will be broadcast in West Berlin.

The players who make it over the Wall are now part of the West Berlin thread for the remainder of the day.

I'll give you a few minutes to read that and ask any questions; let me know when ready

[also please note the whole thing where you can't post the exact same post within like five minutes or something, so you should be varying the MOVE posts with punctuation etc.]

It sounds like there is zero strategy here, correct? Which is good because I can't see forum post numbers on tapatalk as is
