Pro-Tip Thursday Social CVC!

Greetings Survivors!  Welcome to the pre-game Pro-Tip Thursday! 

This week I want to speak about Social CVC.  We have spoken about Combat Character Vs Character actions in past Pro-Tip Thursdays.   CVC is something we speak about before every game, but we often forget to speak about how Social CVC fits into conversation.   

Social CVC is Defined as Social or Economical actions directed towards other characters.  It may be taking actions to have your character be in charge of things or a business deal that hurts another character's plan.   Anytime your Character effects another Character in a negative way.  As much as I would love to say that our town is always a warm welcoming society that everyone has a glorious time,  I can not say that with a straight face.   We are people and people have a tendency to upset other people. 

So this is where we remember our concept of Play to Lift and we remember how we engage in CVC actions.   

First we check in with each other.  Have an adult conversation with each other and honestly talk about how things are making you feel.  If something is happening in the game, take time beforehand to speak to the other person about what is going on.   

Secondly, If an event has happened, check in with the other person after the game.  Players are not their characters.  Have an honest adult conversation with that player and work out a solution.  Communicate with each other on things to make sure you are comfortable with the roll play. 

Finally,  Ask for help.  If you and the other player cannot see a solution, The staff will mediate a meeting to talk about the problem.  We are here to help. We will gladly schedule time with both parties to help.    

Now this is a deep topic, which I will go into more detail over the next couple of weeks but the game is this weekend.  So these are the basic building blocks.  We have to work together to make sure everyone is having a good time.   

But Its important to know that all players have their plans and sometimes those plans collide with other players plans.  Those issues can escalate in Combat CVC so make sure you are touching base with each other.  To make sure the roll play is actual roll play not hurt feelings escalating into angry feelings in real life. Be Kind to each other.  

So as we head off to game, Drink water, change your socks and have a good time.  

Oh.. and don't forget the bug spray! 

See you in the Waste!!!
