Okay, so what's this thing? ↴
When do we get coins? ↴
What's in it for me? ↴
What's this about renewable items? ↴
I got an item that isn't mine - what do I do with it? ↴
Can we stack coins to help our odds? ↴
Do our coins expire? ↴
Can we use our coins to opt out of death rolls? ↴
It's boxy, it's metal, it's rickety, and it was probably really modern in the 1970s - but perhaps most importantly, it's here to give you stuff! ICly, characters will be rewarded for bonding with one another; these rewards come in the form of coins left in their room, somewhere that they'll be easily found. After that, it's just a matter of going over to the machine, sticking coins in and letting prizes fall out. Simple!
When do we get coins? ↴
Coins are awarded for every 20-comment thread (10 comments per person) submitted here. Any threads between two player characters that do not take place during investigations, trials and motive announcements are eligible for a coin. Threads with mod NPCs such as the Transmitter are eligible for coins as well, but the one caveat to this is that private conversations and texts do not count – the thread must take place in public.
What's in it for me? ↴
Glad you asked! We asked all of you to put five regains down on your app; this is where you have the chance to get them back. Of course, since nothing can ever be easy for anyone, RNG gets to decide how quickly that happens...
Furthermore, there's also a chance that the regain you get back won't necessarily be yours. That's also a distinct possibility that we won't deny. Good thing you're on such good terms with everyone here, right?
The percentages shake down something like this: You have a 10% chance of getting a regain – either yours or someone else's, every time you roll. There's an 80% chance you'll get something random. As for the remaining 10%...well. You'll have to roll and see what that remaining percentage might contain, won't you?

What's this about renewable items? ↴
One out of your five items can be renewable – that is, they have the potential to fall out of the machine more than one time. They can be consumable things like food, candy, liquor or cigarettes; they can also be things like yarn, socks, underwear, stuffed toys, whatever you like!
I got an item that isn't mine - what do I do with it? ↴
Whatever your character would do with it! Give it back, eat it, wear it, set it on fire, whatever you want. You might want to work it out with whomever it belongs to, but...really, it's your choice.
Can we stack coins to help our odds? ↴
Unfortunately, no. I mean, if you have a surplus of them and you want to shove them in the machine all willy-nilly then no one's going to stop you, but it's not going to increase your chances of getting a regain. But maybe you'll be rewarded for jamming in twenty at once, who knows! ...Or maybe you'll just screw up the machine, because it's old. But you'll never know until you try, right?
Do our coins expire? ↴
You can redeem your coins whenever you want; in other words, the threads you submit don't have to all be from the current week!
Can we use our coins to opt out of death rolls? ↴
That, my friends, would be bribery, and it's highly frowned upon by the Transmitter. If you can't be present for a given week that you've been selected to die, you can ask the mods to reschedule, but there are no true opt-outs or safety nets of that sort.
CONGRATULATIONS
1 - 014. Shwip-On Bracelets
Toys that normally stick straight out like a ruler, but wrap around your arm with a 'shwip!’ when you hit your arm with them.
2 - 008. Coconut
A coconut that came from a palm tree. It’s not only edible, but has all sorts of other uses, such as serving as a musical instrument once processed.
3 - 058. Silver Ring
A ring made of very pure silver. There’s a naturally-occurring pink tourmaline set into the back. If you don’t know what to present someone with, give them this.
4 - 022. Hundred-Year Potpourri
An item made with a matured mix of flowers, herbs and rinds, which you can enjoy the fragrance of. It’s been filled up with 100 years of frangrance-enjoying thoughts.
5 - SOCOM Outfit
Are you going to fight zombies in a South American jungle? Make sure you go prepared! Weapons not included.
6 - 065. Occult Photo Frame
A photo frame that automatically processes any digital photos taken into ghost-photography-style photos, and displays them.
7 - 030. Tumbleweed
A pile of grass often seen in Western films. If this stuff starts to pile up against the door to your house, toss it down a hill in the backyard.
8 - 017. Iron-Nicking Sword
A sword that cannot cut iron. It can’t cut living things either. In other words it’s useless.
9 - 066. Crowbar
A metal tool for pulling out nails and using like a lever. It’s gotten a very unfair reputation thanks to the phrase “crowbar-like object” coming up in police reports.
10 - 023. Absolute Tuning Fork
A huge tuning fork that hides the power to destroy the entire world with resonance, if used by someone who has mastered the art of tuning. It’s also good for drying out laundry.
