Player Plot Request

[bravenewmods]

6/11: With the debut of the new map, expeditions to explore new areas will be limited. To encourage group exploration, only one proposal will be accepted every two weeks. ICly, exploration of new areas is too dangerous for the Council to allow multiple forays simultaneously. Additionally, you may not lead more than one expedition if you've already done one.

Players may request information for their own plots here. Players are highly encouraged to plan their plots using the Plotting comm first. Groups seeking events should elect a single player to act as the primary plot contact. We also strongly recommend keeping the number of involved players smaller or breaking larger plots into multiple logs to aid in log completion.

When requesting a plot, please fill out the form below:

<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:13px;"><b>Participating Players:</b> <b>Participating Characters:</b> <b>Requested Plot:</b> (Please be specific - where are you going, what are you hoping to accomplish, and how are you going to do it?)</span>

The following information is for player plots with multiple people:

The moderators will respond to the post after reviewing the request. If approved, the mod team will respond to the request with an approval, and send a private message to the journal used to request the event with a basic outline of what will happen, what will be encountered, and what rewards will become available to the characters upon completion of the plot. The requesting player will have the power to move the plot along in the actual log, and run any NPCs that may be necessary. This responsibility can be shared among the other players at their discretion, the moderators will not typically run any of these plots. However, we do reserve the right to take over a plot if characters are getting close to a major plot point we wanted to unveil, and we also reserve the right to ask questions and request clarification of plots, as well as deny them if we don't feel they're appropriate or properly presented. We will, however, do our best to work with everyone so they can move their plots to a satisfying conclusion.

When the plot log has been completed, reply to the plot approval with a link to the finished log. The moderators will then respond with the full rewards (which can include extra levels, resources, special items, and the ability to bond with Pokémon, among other things). Rewards will not be granted until the log is finished.

When posting a log, please use the below format. All logs should be posted in the standard IC comm (bravenewworld)

<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:13px;"><b>Log Deputy:</b> (Handles, links to journals and contact info are all advised here. If you have multiple, include everyone) <b>Log Deputy Schedule:</b> (Optional, you may delete if desired. Include when you expect to be around and available to tag to help the log reach proper conclusion. Be sure to include timezone!) <b>Participating Characters:</b> (If you have multiple teams, it's good to specify. If there are multiple Log Deputies working with different teams, it's also good to specify who is in charge of which team) <b>Plot Description:</b> (Short description of the plot, who's doing this, why are they doing this, what are they trying to accomplish) Warnings/Notes: (Special warnings or notes in case sensitive subject matter or odd things will occur)</span>

The following information is for solo player plots:

If you would like to have a solo player plot concerning something relating to personal character growth, we will speak personally with you to talk about how things should go. At the moment, the mods will help run these.

Open Sidequests:

The following are open sidequests that can be embarked upon by all players. Players are responsible for setting them up and completing them as any normal player plots, but these will potentially help advance the plot and open up new areas and Pokemon. Sidequest objectives may also tie into proposed player plots, depending on the circumstances.

Map Exploration
The signal range of the Warp Bands has been greatly expanded! There are many new areas out there to explore...

This objective is currently in-progress.

Heya! We've looked this over and what we can say is that this plan isn't feasible the way it is now as the ocean is much too large for Squid Girl to clean on her own. What we can do though is allow you to search for the source of the Trubbish and then attempt to block them off from the ocean. This will require the assistance of multiple people - Squid Girl herself will not be able to accomplish it alone. Squid Girl is welcome to investigate on her own at first, and she may find the source, but she won't be able to do anything about it besides make the Trubbish unhappy.

What we'll need you to do right now is propose a more concrete plan for Trubbish hunting. If you'd like her to go solo at first, you can ICly start the log, call for an SOS, and then resume it with the others. OOCly, it's best that you make arrangements in advance to find characters who will help Squid Girl.

The end result of this will simply be that Trubbish will become Commons in a different area, by the way.

Tentative plan is thus: put up an OOC planning post this week to gather interested parties ahead of time, and then an IC log either late Friday night or on Saturday afternoon to start this off. I'll have Squid Girl thread out the bonding attempt and find the source of the Trubbish as part of that thread (presumably just by talking to the one she finds and having it show her where its friends are), and then the IC log can cover her and whoever she has gathered coming together to find a way to block the Trubbish's access to the water's edge.

[bravenewmods]

OK, once you have a plan with the interested parties, please report back here!

[moemoetentacles]

Currently it's Squid Girl, Absol, Arietta, and Chester, as seen here. There probably won't be a terribly specific plan emerging until I get the details from her bonding thread concerning where the Trubbish are coming from and how they're getting to the ocean, but I'm going to go with the assumption for the time being that building some sort of barrier akin to a dam or a reservoir between the source and the water's edge will probably end up being the thing that works. So most likely the plan will be the involved parties and their Pokemon collecting some lumber from the forest in order to make something like that, and then doing so while Absol and the aggregate Pokemon of the other three hold off the Trubbish for long enough to complete the project.

[bravenewmods]

In light of the revelation of the Trubbish ruins, would you like to amend or add to this plan at all?

[moemoetentacles]

Now she's got six people, so I'm thinking having two subthreads on the main log would probably be better. Half of them can construct something to dam up the hole where they're getting through, and the other half can hold back the Trubbish while the first group is doing that. Does that sound reasonable?

[bravenewmods]

This sounds fine! Link us when you have the log up.
