Plotting Post!
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.
Plot posts will typically go up once every two weeks. (Typically late-ish every other Friday night).
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.
Getting a standard plot approved or a change implemented:
• 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 the plot email 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 below and email it to trans9plots@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. Please keep in mind that plots are not always slotted in order they were received, as sometimes their timing is based on the needs and wants of the playerbase or has to be scheduled around podpops and gamewide plots.

If it's on a world, what is the setting? If it's on the ship, how will it affect the setting?
If there's a mission, what is the mission objective?
Who will this plot involve and affect?
What long-term effects are you hoping this plot will have?
Getting a private plot approved:
• A private plot--which is a plot consisting of up to 8 characters or can be finished in under a week, and (in either case) already has a predetermined set of involved players--must be sent to the mods for approval, though it doesn't need to be announced in anyway other than to inform involved players.
•Private plots can consist of any type of small plot, including small off-ship missions requiring only a small number of people. If you are unsure if your plot counts as a private plot, email the mods and we will try to clarify for you.
• To get a private plot approved, follow the normal procedure for sending in a plot for approval, save that you should note somewhere (preferably in the beginning) that it is a private plot and what characters/players are involved.
An important note:
• Plots do not necessarily always have to have a concrete mission structure. If, for instance, you'd like to have something as simple as a supply run happen as an excuse to thread characters somewhere other than the ship, this is entirely permissible. So is, for instance, proposing shore leaves or simple missions at places like space stations or colonies, or even on nature worlds that have resources that can be gathered. Plots or plotty situations can be as simple or complicated as you like, ranging from goal-orientated to creating an excuse for characters to have somewhere new to thread.

Adopt-a-Plot
Suggest-a-Plot
Brought Down to "Normal?"
A little while ago, Shae, Zita, and I discussed a plot where badass normal nonhumans are sent on a mission to a planet inhospitable to weak, puny humans, as well as all forms of magic and technology, then "normalized" to baseline human by a vengeful nut job in the course of their mission. This would be a plot primarily for characters who are physically tougher than baseline humans, and for players who like to play the who-would-be-the-PB-if-my-character-was-human game.
Also Shae will be able to use her Daniel Dae Kim icons and I support this all of the time.Tone is going to be on the goofy side. Right now I'm interested to find out who else has a character they would like to include so I can get my plan on.

And Keith Hamilton Cobb.
Even if we get a Tyr, I regret nothing.

I'd call it Shirtless o'Plot, but for Goliath, every plot is Shirtless o'Plot.

What a coincidence. I approve of your icon.

Current/Upcoming Plots
no subject
Date: November 1st - 21st
Synopsis: Select members of the crew arrive at the planet Exotic Location to negotiate for secret special information from the leader there, former supermodel Tyrant Banks. Unfortunately, Tyrant isn't interested in negotiations, and instead forces them to compete with each other to see who is the model most worthy of following in her footsteps. To get close enough to Tyrant to get the information, one of them must win and become the Multiverse's Next Top Model - not an easy task when Tyrant's idea of 'modeling' includes dressing like a chicken on a runway made of hot coals and stuffing one's self into a vending machine while wearing a bikini.

Date: December 2nd - December 11th
Synopsis: A critical world called an unpronounceable name (translation: Sweetdream Paradise), is threatened! Not by the Ohm, but by the paradise-destroying schemes of Captain Ripades and her Pain Posse! Normally, ten young women with entirely wholesome and beautiful magical powers are on top of her schemes, preserving the endless wonder of this world. But one of the Captain’s schemes has succeeded! All of the girls are being treated for poison ingested at their favorite café, while the Pain Posse makes one of its biggest attacks yet. Someone has to stop them today, or this moment in history will ruin the sweet paradise forever! ...and that’s where the crew comes in. As they will discover, the imposing monsters of shape-shifting shadow and slime called the Pain Possee are completely impervious to most forms of attack. Laser beams, punches and kicks, swords, guns, and massive energy attacks won’t work here. Only the magical powers of goodness and innocence will! Better get used to the bells and frills, team. You’re in for a rough day, but it’ll be filled with ~magic and rainbows and light~.
