The Geese

Overview

Every now and then a rival gang moves in on the pond: the Honk Kong Triads. The geese are the outfit every traitor in the Heist runs off to, and the whole neighborhood runs them off together.

It's a team fight. Everyone in chat is on the same side, across every platform we're live on. And you don't even have to type to help: everyone who's around backs the fight up on their own, lurkers included.

How a fight plays out

  1. They show up. Once in a while the geese land on the pond. The more people are around, the tougher they are. A card shows up on stream with their health and a clock.
  2. Peck them. !peck is a free hit. !peck <amount> spends Bread for a bigger one. That Bread is gone for good.
  3. Backup. Everyone who's around chips in on their own every so often, typing or not.
  4. The Flying V. When enough different ducks peck at the same moment, it lands as one big Flying V hit. Bring your friends.
  5. Run them off, or they get away. Knock their health to zero before the clock runs out and they drop loot. Run out of time and they get away. Nothing is lost when they do. They'll be back.

Chat gets one round-up every so often, not a line for every hit. People who peck can show up in it by name. People who are just hanging out are counted, never named.

Payback

The Triads run a few businesses of their own, and those show up on the heist board. Rob one and get away with it, and the geese might come back to the pond later that stream looking for payback.

Who shows up

Who What to expect
Straw Webfoot The Triads' messenger. Not much to it, but a short clock.
Red Bill The enforcer. Armored: free pecks don't do much, Bread pecks hit hard.
White Feather Fan The brains. It heals while the neighborhood thins out, so stick around.
Dragon Neck The leader. Rare, big, and a long fight.
The Gaggle A whole swarm for a big crowd. Every peck downs one goose.

Once a month the Kumiducko pays the pond a visit himself. He's not one of the Geese: that's the Visit.

Loot

When the geese get run off, they drop a pile of Bread:

  • Everyone around gets a share, lurkers too.
  • The more damage you did, the bigger your cut.
  • The last hit gets a little bonus.

From the yard

Ducks in Duckatraz general population can !peck from the yard too. Every hit that lands takes a little time off their sentence. Free pecks only, and inmates don't get a share of the loot. Maximum security can't join in.

Commands

!peck [amount]

A free hit on the geese. Only works while they're on the pond. Add an amount to spend that much Bread for a bigger hit. The Bread is gone for good, whether they get run off or not.

Example:

Bread pecks go from 10 to 500 Bread. If a fight gets called off (the stream ends mid-fight), any Bread you pecked with comes back.
