First weekly plot discussion post!

[cityship]

Hey, all! This is the start of a new weekly thing we've devised to help players take a more active role in plot organization and planning.

Basically, here's how it works: These posts will provide a place to discuss upcoming plots, propose plot ideas to your fellow players, and generally just brainstorm and organize for things. You will be allowed to volunteer to help OOCly with plots as well. Note, however, that these threads will not be a place to sign up your characters for plots. Those posts will go up on their own before the plot in question starts.

What you can do:
-Discuss upcoming plots (whose threads will be posted soon after this post goes up) and volunteer to help OOCly
-Propose plot ideas to the game at large. (Use the form from the plot suggestion post to make things easier)
-"Adopt" a plot from the plot suggestion post (linked below). If there is a plot on the plot suggestion post you'd like to see run, start a thread for it in here.
-Propose ongoing setting changes. For example, you can propose a new crew "team" like Starfighter Command and the Outsiders, or perhaps starting a new service for the crew like the blacksmiths and the clothier's shop.

Also, for clarity's sake, in each of these posts we will be including instructions on how to get a plot approved, which have now been simplified.

Getting a plot approved:
-All plots that take place off-ship or involve at least a moderate number of people must go through mod approval first. If you're not sure, email us and see if it would qualify.
-While we'd like you to use these posts to discuss your potential plots with your fellow players, if you'd prefer not to include it in plot discussion posts for any particular reason (for example, particular details of the plot you'd like to keep hidden), posting your plot in the plot discussion posts is not necessary to get a plot approved
-To get a plot approved, use the form listed in the plot suggestion post and email it to transmigration9@gmail.com, along with links to any plot discussion threads you believe have relevant ideas. You will be emailed with an approval once the mods have reviewed it and find it satisfactory. Once you have received an approval, you will be asked to help us determine the best time to run the plot.

Marriage Planet

[cityship]

Plot: Marriage Planet
Date: Saturday, February 5
Plot size: Shipwide
Plot length: Medium
The Rundown: The crew must retrieve an important item from the home planet of a spiritual race known as the Moai. However, the item is kept by spiritual elders of the Moai in them most sacred area of the planet. Only those who pass the Moai's tests and perform their sacred marriage ritual may enter.

If the crew wants to finish the mission, they're gonna have to get hitched.

For those that don't, however, they have something different in store. Those choosing to remain outside will have to deal with the mysterious creatures that stalk the planet's wilderness.

Matchmaking

If you want to marry your character off but don't have a definite partner, post here! We'll see what we can find.

Want in on this, with Danny stuck outside

Re: Marriage Planet

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

This sounds fun ^.^

Re: Marriage Planet

[nobel-berserker.livejournal.com]

...I don't think Allenby wants to marry anyone.

Mysterious, stalking creatures? WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME.

[staturity]

Question- how many of our characters can we sign up for this?

Re: Marriage Planet

[silverduelist]

Ooooh ... either of those options sound great.

STILL MAKES IT TOUGH THOUGH. Either subject Yzak so awkward hilarious embarrassment or let him kick some ass... though ICly he'd need to be PRETTY DAMN CONVINCED to do the former.

muahahahah... *rubs hands in glee*

Re: Marriage Planet

[encourage]

Ffft I don't even know how to brain fake marriage with this ninja, though if someone was gung-ho and/or amused for it, totally. As it is, with enough people going "inside," Sakura'd be more than willing to remain outside.

... though ICly, she'd do whatever was deemed more necessary by basically anyone with something akin to rank and better experience with Stacy and shenanigans than she has. (By default, that's pretty much... everyone.)

Would like to sign up for this. 8D

Oh...? Now things get... Interesting?
Think I still have to get used to the plotting-system around here... so... uh... yes.

[bonnypiperlad]

Jamie will be involved. And really unhappy. :)

Re: Marriage Planet

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

I think I'd like to have Eva around dealing with creatures, if possible for a character who generally doesn't do combat or anything.

ONE MORE THING

[daemonomicon.livejournal.com]

Another thing that will be happening on this mission:

Some of you might remember this little secret (http://i47.tinypic.com/j97ggz.png) from a good while ago.

The Rom are going to be there on the planet. This'll be the crew's first encounter with them, but they'll be a big part of the main plot in the future. If you want to glean a bit more of the game's secrets, I suggest paying attention to them in the plot!

Polygamy y/n?

The Yagami Family likes to do everything as a family.

Everything.

[dared-to-love.livejournal.com]

Aaaand after thinking about it a bit more I think I'll throw in Ophelia to help "deal" with the wilderness. :D

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Possibly opening a can of worms, but I'll put this out generally: Is there, was there, enough interest in a Shadowrun style plot that the ship would like to see one, at some point? Or should we just let that rest?

[governorkang]

I was really looking forward to that plot, actually.

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

I haven't picked up Shadowrun in forever. But I did use the have fun. I'll give it a re-look, but you know me ^.^ I'm always up for some fun :3

[curiousredsoul]

I wouldn't mind seeing one as well, was looking forward to it as well.

[makeherblue]

Shadowrun plot?

[ggmoonycrisco.livejournal.com]

In that style, maybe, and somewhere down the line. I think it's in poor taste to run a plot that a player who is no longer in the game planned.

Melting clock

[cityship]

Plot: Melting Clock
Date: Mid to late February
Plot size: Shore leave portion: Shipwide. De-Aging: Medium.
Plot length: Medium
The Rundown: The crew takes shore leave on a merchant planet. While there, one of the aliens tries to convince some of the crew to buy a strange, melted looking clock hanging from a tree, but the alien and others nearby rush away right before the clock strikes 12. Soon after returning to the ship, those crew members exposed to the clock's chime find themselves aging backwards. If they don't find a way to fix it, they could be in trouble.

[morphitudinous]

So to clarify...shore leave's for everybody, but you can choose to be deaged or a caretaker/flailer/figure-outer for this one?

[cityship]

Plot: The Mark of Kain
Date: Early to mid March
Plot size: Medium/Large
Plot length: Short/Medium
The Rundown: Among the many beings bound by the Daligig to fight the Ohm is the ancient alien known as Kain. When this evil being breaks free from his prison, he seeks to destroy the one person carrying the power that could help destroy him for good, Sasami Masaki Jurai, and he's willing to tear the ship apart to get to her. The crew must stop him if they want to be able to continue their mission.

Since this is my plot (that I almost forgot), I can answer questions... after work!

New Addition - A Restaurant!

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

I know a few people caught it, but I recently had Sasami discover a restaurant within the City. However, it's not ready to be open yet! There's a lot of work to be done, but I'm going to need your help in this!

While there's already a massive freezer full of meats and various other foods, we're missing stuff like dishes, milk, eggs, etc. As well, the only other character helping is Ronnae and this is a big task, especially for a kid!

I'm hoping to get it up and running before Mark of Kain starts up (which may mean she's gonna end up opening when everyone's losing time XD), but I'd like to hear your thoughts! Anything specific you want here? As well, do you want a character to help out? The only thing she won't let you do is take any of the food home.

ETA: Oh, and if Kang-mun still wants to, we can still have some sort of joint thing between the Restaurant (which DOES need a name, too!) and the Drunken Dragon! That way, you can have your beer and nice hot meal to go with it! XD
