Pup Tent

Pup Tents are portable items that players can set up in outdoor, outside of town rooms. There are two tiers.

Tents will collapse after 20 minutes of the owner not being inside. Guests will be tossed out if the tent collapses. The owner has five minutes to fold up the tent before the janitor will clean it up. Tents and items left on the ground in tents are subject to normal game mechanics and will not be returned if lost.

These rooms should not be considered private for vulgarity or OOC reasons.

Tier 1 First tier tents hold 2 people only, including the owner. Tents are not critter proof; you may not STAND your tent while enemies are present, and if a creature enters while the tent is standing, the tent will collapse and knock you, your guest, and your stuff out.

This tent has been unlocked to accommodate an additional five guests. The standing version of the tent may be altered with a long description, but not a show. The description must include "canvas tent." The interior of the tent may be changed by rare merchants as a delayed service, of for Premium Points via Sadie Scroll.

Additional Information A tent that is standing can be left unattended for 20 minutes before it will collapse. Be aware that GM advice is to not leave it unattended. In its collapsed state (example - a collapsed blue canvas tent), it will be safe for 5 minutes where only the owner can can collect it. After the 5 minute window, 'it is subject to normal loss mechanics' including the janitor or being picked up by another player. Anything that causes a tent to collapse, including interactions from critters and other effects will put it in this vulnerable state. A tent will not collapse if it is occupied by its owner, unless a creature knocks it over or if the owner dies. The pup tent script will check (every 10 seconds) for the presence of its owner (the person who uses STAND to place the tent). If the owner is not in the tent or in the room outside the tent, the tent will collapse after the 20 minutes, even if occupied by other characters. Unlocks Trash Can Additional Guests (up to 100) In town Creature Proof Storage Pup Tent Storage containers can be purchased and hold 5 items up to 10 pounds total. Unlocks are available for additional 5 items and 10 pounds, up to 100 items for 200 pounds. This is not weightless storage; the container is stored in the folded tent and will add to the character's encumbrance if the tent is in the character's inventory. One floor item and one lightsource can be stored in the tent and will automatically be placed out when the tent is erected.
