Yep, we're beginning with a day this time. But you're not going to accuse or execute anyone just yet.
There are thirty-six boxes here. Each of them contains a prize. Some prizes are definitely more helpful than others, but I give you my word that no boxes are going to kill you (I think).
You can post here once per real-time day naming a box to open. That means you can open up to two boxes before the First Day is over. You can also open boxes at night. Basically we're just going to go on a box-opening binge until all those damn boxes have revealed their contents!
Boxes stricken out have, of course, been opened already.
01 02 03 04 05 06
07 08 09 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36

Prime steps up to box 22 and pries it open. There's a little pouch inside. He opens the pouch to find fifteen denarii!

Cinders shakes box 30 up and down a little. Deciding she likes what she hears, she opens the box to reveal a glowing shield!

Kazkame pokes box 5 once or twice. Since it doesn't bite, he opens it and finds another shield!

Shotgun box 13

RLRL takes out a shotgun and puts several holes in box 13. Before anyone can make a joke about Justin Timberlake, an irritated voice wafts out: "Just opun the box why can't you!"
Curses! RLRL has found the first posting requirement! From now on, every post he makes in a Day topic* has to include a mind-grindingly horrible pun. That wasn't suppost to happen!
*Meaning The First Day, The Second Day, etc. Not game topics or the Shop.

Baboon looks at Box 2 carefully, inspecting it from all angles. He truly appears interested in it. Then, out of nowhere, he whips a chainsaw out and mangles the thing.

Pikachu requests the opening of box 6 thank you please.

When Baboon has finished totalling box 2, he finds a tattered pouch inside. Fortunately, the fifteen denarii weren't harmed by the chainsaw.
Pikachu goes for the enormous box 6, hoping that whatever's inside such a huge box is good. However, the shield he discovers within is no larger than Cinders' or Kazkame's.

ch00beh gives a shout and jumps back, rubbing his jaw. He accidentally bit into box 17's prize: an ivory gavel. He's found the first extra vote!
Ocelot opens box 23 to find... that it's filled to the brim with Styrofoam peanuts. The other players chuckle at his misfortune, but he digs around for a moment and procures a glimmering hourglass. Ocelot has obtained a freeze! The other players quickly fall silent.

Bulbs sees box number one and decides it is now his. He grabs it and puts it on his lap, "I'm gonna name you Boxy!" He strokes it as if it were a kitten or puppy, telling it how good a boy it is and all that jazz. Somebody leans over and whispers in Bulbs ear. He litsens and gasps, "You mean I can open it!?!?!?!"

The Pope kicks over box 19. Another extra vote tumbles out. Oh jes' goody!
Bulbs opens Boxy and finds that it's empty. But there's a pair of kanji painted onto the inside bottom of the box. Aw man! It's another posting requirement!
Bulbs now has to speak in haiku every time he posts in a Day topic*. As we all know, a haiku consists of one line of seven syllables sandwiched in between two lines of five syllables each. Somebody recently told me you've got to throw a "seasonal reference" in there, too. An example!
I will vote for Loogs. (This is where the seasonal Reference comes in.)
Bulbs, you are allowed to write multiple haiku in a single post.

Box 24! *Lee harpoons it with a whaling cannon, and reels it in.* "Anybody else assuming that violently treating our boxes might result in suspicion of some kind?"

I'm assuming we pick more boxes, since they're are far more boxes than players.

Box 36 explodes into flames. Inexplicably, the item inside seems to have survived intact. Or perhaps not so inexplicably: when Prime pulls the item out, it turns out to be a golden feather. Prime's found the first resurrection!
RLRL makes for box 33, but finds it impossible to open. "You didn't make a horrible pun," the Host admonishes. "You won't be able to open any boxes without the pun!"
