ITEM AND WORLD REQUESTS
Generally we trust player discretion, but if you want something to show up in the game whether in your app inventory or through Clock whimsy, and you're not sure if it's allowed, this is the place you ask!
Stuff you probably want to ask about:
• Places that are exactly the same as or strongly mimic a location depicted in a canon (yours or otherwise).
• Weapons.
• Living creatures.
• Large quantities of a thing.
• Unusual or unique items.
• Really physically gigantic things.
• Stuff that could be deadly to other characters.
Stuff you can always assume is a yes:
• Ordinary food and drink.
• Clothing.
• Toiletries, hygiene products, and bathrooms.
• Waste disposal.
We are pretty committed to encouraging creativity and saying yes as much as possible, so don't be afraid to ask!
If you have a plot suggestion setting question, or have created an app for Lockbox, you should use the FAQ page or private mod contact options.
ACTIVITY REWARDS
Because currently the activity requirements are just a monthly check in, we want to provide a reward for people who continue to play in our game. As such, RP threads can be "cashed in" for CP (Check Points) on our Activity Check In posts, which can then be spent here.
CHECK POINTS
Recieve these by linking your threads on Check In posts during the Check In period. If you're no good at math, the mods are happy to do the sums.A• IC inboxes should be set up using the game code provided here.lockbox POST BY YOU = 2CP

AN IC INBOX COMMENT BY YOU = 1 CP
• If you have two characters, both characters count towards the same total. Comments by dropped characters can not be used for CP.
• To reduce mods having to process lots of small transactions, please do not comment until your total is at least 10CP.
• Once you have linked a thread, please do not link that thread from the start again if it gets more comments, but from the comment that you are cashing in. Please don't try to link the same comment twice over two months — we will be checking.
• Because multiple mods are involved in this process, you are not considered to have spendable CP until the mods have checked you, updated their documents, and replied with your total.
CP SHOP
Comment here with the following form:The mods will keep a record of every player's ongoing 'balance", feel free to ask us for it.A COMPLIMENT - 1CP
If you have a leftover CP or two after you've totaled up everything else, throw this in and we'll say something nice to you.
AN UNUSUAL ITEM - 10 CP
Unlimited. The mods will randomly pick a unique item from a prewritten list for one of your characters. It may be mysterious, generate emotions or CR, or instigate a plot, or it may do nothing, it's a bit of a lucky dip. Some items may be dangerous, triggering, or destroy characters’ possessions. If there's anything you'd really like us to avoid, please mention it.
AN UNEXPECTED TROPE - 5CP each
Unlimited. Requires 2+ characters. Each player who would like to be involved in the scenario will have to comment. The mods will randomly pick a situation or scenario from a pre-written list based on fictional tropes, and write up a short blurb. Your characters may find themselves having to work together to solve a problem or huddle close to stay warm. While all players are welcome to jam their characters into any scenario they desire, this purchase comes with the mod write-up and the element of surprise for those short on ideas.
SOMETHING FROM HOME - 20CP
One per character per month. Want an item from your character's canon? Maybe a sentimental trinket or their favourite jacket or even a cool weapon or pet? Whether it belongs to them in canon or not, buying this will allow your character to discover something from home.
I CHOOSE YOU - 20CP
One per character per month. You can choose an animal or other non-sentient creature (a droid or Pokemon are just as valid as a cat or a dog) to show up and attach itself to your character. Please specify the animal or else the mods will assign your character a random pet.
SUDDEN POWERS - 50CP
Unlimited. Ever wanted superpowers for a day? The Clock will grant your character a power of your choosing (so long as it wouldn't have been nerfed on arrival — see the FAQ for what we allow.) It can be silly and inconvenient or a dream come true. This power will last for one 24 hour period.
SUDDEN CHANGES - 50CP
Unlimited. Like superpowers only characters undergo a physical transformation of player choice for the day. They could turn into an animal or simply get a feature such as wings or cat ears, they could transform into the opposite sex or generate A/B/O characteristics. This transformation will last for one 24 hour period.
NETWORK NAME CHANGE - 50CP
One per character per month. A character can change their username on the network. This change is permanent unless they purchase another token to change it back, much like Dreamwidth rename tokens.
LOCATION OWNERSHIP - 100CP
Unlimited. This will cause a location of the player's choosing to generate a lock on its door, and provide one of their characters with the key. The location itself will customize to their desires much more easily, thematic items may spontaneously generate (such as alcohol in a bar or clothing in a closet), and they will be able to find it at a thought. This could be used for characters to create themselves a regular residence, or perhaps to start a business. In order to facilitate open areas, specific locations written up by the mod journal are not available to purchase for personal use.
EXTRA KEYS - 100CP
Unlimited. Either the person receiving the key or the owner can request an additional key to an owned location. If you are the owner of the location, the key is like any other key and is not "locked" to a particular recipient. The character can keep it as a spare or give it to someone. If you are requesting a key to someone else's owned location, you must have their permission prior to placing the request.
CANON LOCATION - 100CP
Two per character. You can pick an area from your canon to be transplanted into the game, and we will work with you to write it up for the locations list. An area is one continuous space or room, no doors — see the FAQ and Setting docs for further restrictions. Only one of these may be locked if location ownership is purchased.
ROLE IN THE PLOT - 100CP
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. There isn't much plot so far, but as soon as there is, this will be available for purchase if you want your character to get some extra information or a special role.EXTRA INVITE - 200CPTEMPORARILY ON HOLD.
Unlimited. Every player gets one free invite per month. Purchasing this is kind of like buying a coupon; you have it up until you use it. If the person you invited doesn't follow through with an application, you will get the "coupon" back. There's no expiration: you can buy this in January and keep it until July if you want. We will keep track of how many extra invites a player has and only remove one when it results in a new player apping into the game.
STAR OF THE SHOW - 400CP
One per character. The Clock Box team will work together with you to create a game-wide plot that your character will be central to.
A THIRD CHARACTER SLOT - 500CP
One per player. Character limitations are designed to keep the game small and active, so you'll have to save up for this one. Once you have bought the slot it is permanent, i.e. you can drop back down to two characters and then app a third without having to re-purchase this reward. There is no fourth character slot. If you purchase this slot and later decide you do not want it, you are welcome to cash it back in for CP.
This system is currently optional and in beta. Due to the amount of work required point calculation and responses to requests may take time, thank you for your patience.
