Do these three days of fast and praying we're going through have a name? I can't manage to find it.
In universe: It definitely does!

Out of universe: There was just a throwaway mention in the lore that had no name attached to it. I don't want to crib something from the real world even if I am using some real festivals for inspiration here and there. But I'm honestly a little too brain fogged to come up with something adequate for it.

Could we have some RP threads attached to events? Like the EA performances one (I know some wouldn't work but I think others would work)

The performances would definitely allow for it.

In "No One's Safe (Night)", any chance we could donate things we steal to the poor, or to an institution, instead of fencing them and getting the money for ourselves?

If that's possible Faruq *might* be open to participating - would still have to give it some thought. Otherwise, probably not!

For the sincerity rolls for Hungry City and No one's safe does Nima the poet's blessing count as you are convincing people? Does the rank 1 Qabal agent -1k0 to opponents give an advantage here?

What you do with your portion after obtaining it is entirely up to you.

Nima's: Yes to both (all three really since it would also apply to the Perform: Oratory in No One's Safe (Day))
Qabal Agent: Let's say a -5 to the TN in Hungry City and No One's Safe (Night) would not apply to No One's Safe (Day)

Hey Sven! Sorry for the ton of questions!

In the No One's Safe (Night) event, if we're doing the heist as a team (of 2, in this case), is it ok if we post a separate thread with our rolls/RP then link to it in the main thread to avoid clogging it?

Thanks!

I'll allow it - either way is fine.
