Second day
Of the Second month
We are ripped awake
Unbalanced, wobbling, newborn

What is the Masquerade?
The Masquerade is my next chapter of the story of Luci, continuing right where The Monument Game left off. Art, community-building, and modern exegesis come together to elevate the choices, connections, and true nature revealed through others' collision with my work and world. Players from The Monument Game who pledge to the Masquerade will be able to enter as they are, but as this is a party, each will be able to invite a guest to join for a price.
How does one participate in the Masquerade?
Guaranteed participation in the Masquerade is first reserved for the Council of Luci and Players from The Monument Game. The remaining spots, who they go to, and how many become available to the public will be decided through curation, Player choices, and competition. Be sure to sign up for updates on how to enter the jungle and ensure your Nifty Gateway Studio (NGS) account and username are up to date. We will be sending you updates on how to enter the jungle.
I would like to participate in the Masquerade, how do I get updates?
To keep informed on the Masquerade, I recommend everyone signing up for updates and following me, @SamSpratt on X and official Nifty Gateway Studio channels only.
Is there anything I need to set up with my Nifty Gateway Studio account to participate in the Masquerade?
I own a Player edition(s), what do I need to do to get ready?
There are 4 circles: 1/1s, Skulls, Players and soon to come…Masks. Next week, the site will update and Players who wish to partake will need to custody all of their editions on Nifty Gateway Studio and keep them in for the duration of the Masquerade. This temporary sacrifice is what will allow each Player to claim their Mask. This allows the Masquerade and its participation to unfold without confusion (claimed vs unclaimed Players as one example) or manipulation.
From February 4 - February 6, Players will go through a registration process to receive their Mask and make some important decisions. Best to be prepared, while February 6 is the official deadline to deposit your Player, you can deposit your Player(s) now. After completing the registration process, your Mask will then be placed in your NGS wallet. Should you need to move your Mask to another NGS account you can until February 21, then it is temporarily locked in place.
Please ensure you're following best practices when depositing items into your Nifty Gateway Studio account. You can find detailed guidelines and instructions here.
See ‘Is there anything I need to set up with my Nifty Gateway Studio account to participate in the Masquerade?’ to ensure your account is all set for the Masquerade.
Can I transfer or withdraw my Mask or Player edition during the Masquerade?
When you enter the Masquerade, I want you all the way in. A sacrifice and commitment to the code of the party.
Participants will be allowed to transfer Masks until February 21 at 12 PM ET, prior to gameplay. Once gameplay begins Players and Masks will be restricted in their ability to be withdrawn, transferred, and traded on the secondary market. Once it is over, go about your days, free to transact.
Will there be any pauses to secondary trading throughout the Masquerade?
Yes, secondary trading will be temporarily paused as follows:
