So, as a matter of interest how would I go about achieving my goal of becoming chief of police? Do you spawn events that my character can take part in in order to further this goal?
That and since your goal is a public official one, I'll be taking into consideration what the townsfolk think of you and how you handle your job. If the townsfolk dislike you, they probably won't support you as chief of police. Or the current chief may deem you unsuited for the task.
Basically, your actions and behaviors from certain events and other characters will influence how likely your goal is to be met. A large part of your success will be attributed to what you yourself feel your character is entitled to *I don't want to be an ass and just go "NOPE!" if you're wanting a happy ending for your character* but if you're going around not even trying or behaving in a way that actively opposes your goal, it won't be achieved.
Depending on how masochistic you are, I can either tell you when such an event will have a factor, or keep it hidden. Your call.
The amount of control I have over your goal is generally left up to you though, within reason. These are your characters, and your stories. But I do expect you guys to be skilled enough to make them good ones *so far, I'm not worried, I'm seeing a lot of creativity here*
EDIT: Oh, and if you've been accepted, please put your CS up in the character tab so I can easily see how many characters we have and don't accidentally overlook any of you.
