Shadowplay Finale Plotting! (Gauging Interest)

OKAY.

So all this very long-winded build up had me think up of a proper end to the Shadowplay plot (finally Ty GOD YOU ASS) and I wanted to see what the playerbase thought of it since it'd be pretty big. It's important that enough people get pissed off.

BASIC IDEA: Prowl is going to use his influence in the Law Committee to push for an effort to register and mark all Haven inhabitants on a database. Whether they want to or not.

THE DEETS

REVISED DEETS

First, it'd pass as a law, and then it would have to be enforced by the PF. As the law starts to get enacted your character would be free to just agree with it or try to avoid being branded/given an ID (which, since Prowl is behind this shit, we can assume at least has some kind of tracking chip built in there.).

Prowl, as part of the PF, would help run teams to hunt down people who are attempting to ollie out of the plan (and perhaps be a little eager to do so). Any characters involved are free to object or respond how they normally would, of course. Would they follow orders? Or would they defect/disobey them?

The Plot will end when he pursues IDW Megatron under the false prospect of merely IDing him while secretly planning on having Chromedome lobotomize the crap out of his brain. He's discovered and his plans are revealed publicly before he does so. He and Chromedome then have to deal with the aftermath.

EDIT: I'll be making a sign-up post later if this is approved!

Thoughts? Suggestions? Plans? Is this something you guys would like to participate in?

Shadowplay Endgame

Hey guys! Just providing you all with an update since some events have been reshuffled to make this a clean wrap-up. I appreciate your patience. The Shadowplay event will be reaching it's Endgame sometime by the end of January/February.

What does this mean for you?

In a few weeks, Megatron(IDW) will be making a post that will be challenging the set establishment of the Haven, and Starscream will be stepping up to oppose him for some good 'ol Decepticon in-fighting.

Prowl, for reasons that will be revealed later, will be interested in fanning the flames of this conflict. He'll be most intent on giving Starscream bodies in the form of supporters to his position, but will have other roles to set for the other agents at hand. Your character's role will be simple, in that when the time comes they will be given a rather unusually convincing suggestion via an anonymous text to begin to take sides (and later delete the message, of course.).

The suggestion in question will nudge them towards Starscream's line of thinking, but if you feel even with that it is too out of line for your character to follow, then we can find some other way to participate. Just know that they'll have a very strong inclination to get involved in the discussion at hand.

EXTRA NOTE: It'd also be super helpful to confirm the current list I have of Shadowplay participants! If your character was added here by mistake/you don't want them to participate/etc. then message me and I'll fix it. As always, any new participants are always welcome, though the actual mindtweaking will need to be handwaved/discussed OOCly.

Shadowplay List(?):
Starscream
Skids
Thundercracker
Bulkhead
Fracas
Deckard
Kagerou

Arrest Event Permissions Post!

Hello R/A, so as you may well know, several parties in the game have been prepping to assemble and attempt to capture the Haven's resident DJD representative , Tarn.

Due to the large number of players involved (20+!), it will be handled via Mini-fates, similar to Megatron's Badlands plot. The results will be based on the assets and numbers of each side. The event itself it going to take place early to mid next week, near August 26th. Be sure to account for possible recovery from injury or death, so consider it around a week in length.

As Tarn is a super robot with no qualms against violence, and his best buddy Kaon can electrocute a Cybernought, it's expected that the Police Force and Wreckers will take some hits and deaths in the conflict. Taking a look at Tarn's abilities will be helpful to know what you'll be signing up for. Before tallying up how the event will go out, we will need to get your permission for what can happen to your characters.

It's going to be opt in rather than opt out, so we're going to assume you do not want any severe injuries/death to your characters if you don't reply to this and you are part of the group involved. Additionally, replying to this doesn't guarantee that your character will die or get severely wounded, but it leaves the option open when the assets are gathered. NOTE: if you want your character to die or consider it an option, make sure to fill out a death request to clear it with the mods

Just answer yes/no to these questions below, and you'll be well on your way to your fun DJD Infiltration Adventure!

Note: If you have any specific ideas with how you want your interaction with Tarn to go, feel free to ping Mmejack (Tarn's player) at chimering on plurk and/or in the form above so we can try to include it when we figure out the narrative of the events.

Plotting: Haven Games and Air Show

***Updated: 6/15***

Hey folks. So I'm finally getting this going and just in time for Re/Alignment's first anniversary! You probably got the basic gist from Wing's network post so here are the rest of the details. Much of this is still flexible/tentative so keep an eye on this post for any changes.

The Games will last for three days, starting sometime the week of June 24th. (the 21st is the actual anniversary day, but I will be out of town on vacation at that time.) The location I'm thinking could be a crater in Nexus's quadrant, since it's fitting and sort of near the bar/Hub.

The big thing here to note is that I want anyone to be able to contribute to this. It's a co-op, Bring Your Own Activity type event. I'll make the framework, setup the log, and then there'll be a spot that people can create a subthread for any activity they wish to organize and run both OOC and IC. (please try to keep it to one activity per person so we don't get overloaded/spread out)

Want to organize an event but you don't have a character who would do it ICly? Team up with someone! The event is opt-in though, you don't have to participate if you don't want to. Any winners will be decided by RNG, facilitated by the person running that activity.

Organizing an event is easy. At minimum, you need:

Decide the details of said activity.
Send me a 1-2 sentence summary to add to the open log description.
Post a scene (just like you would in a log) featuring the activity when the open log goes up so people can mingle there.
OPTIONAL: If you want to decide winners then you can look at who tagged in as a participant and RNG to find a winner.

Here's the event ideas that came out of my plurk about this. THIS IS JUST A START. Suggestions welcome. Any of this can happen at the Games but if you want a mingle area for it someone needs to take charge of it.

Claimed Activities:

Airshow: (Wing organizing, Swoop to do a night performance)
Scavenger Race: One mech and one humanoid must team up to fetch various items from each FF quadrant. Kind of like Amazing Race. (Drift organizing)
Drag race or short-med distance race like 300 meters? (Knock Out organizing. We might not have roads done so we'll have to smooth some of the flat terrain.)
Marksmanship competition (Strelok organizing, needs the help of a Cybertronian)
Karaoke at the bar (Ravage will help but needs supervision)
Medic tent (Red Alert organizing, Ambulon & Barricade volunteered to assist)

Unclaimed:

Hauling: Feat of strength aimed at strong grounders/tanks but humanoids are welcome to compete as well. Could be either as a race altogether or each sees how far they can get in a specific time limit.
Feat of strength that’s more human friendly (take something from Highland games?)
General talent competition? Dancing, poetry, singing, musical performance, etc.
Smaller carnival type games: tossing ping-pong balls, water pistols, pachinko machine?
Paintball War *new
Aerial obstacle course *new
Any others? Suggestions welcome!

Anyone who wants to organize a game or activity let me know and I'll add it to the claimed list above. I'd like to avoid duplicate/similar activities so please check the list and replies here first. Thanks!

Shadowplay Plot

So! Chromedome and Prowl happen to be up to their old tricks and have been forming a plan together for quite some time. This new Cybertron needs order and the best way to get that order is through Shadowplay. Chromedome will be using his mnemosurgery on individual members of the Haven, putting them under Prowl's control. Will said characters know that they're brainwashed? Nope! They'll go one with their lives until Prowl needs them to do something. Basically they'll be sleeper agents, cool yes?

So the basic timeline goes like this:

>Chromedome and Prowl decide to try to brainwash Tarn
>They fail and Chromedome dies
>They try again later and succeed (with some help from Liege?)
>From there they'll start picking out Decepticons to use, starting with the Starscreams
>After they're all done, the Autobots get their turn because lol morals

Sounds fine so far? Let's look at our current roster of volunteers:

Tarn
Starscream (DW)
Starscream (TFP)
Skids
Bulkhead
Fracas
Barricade

If your character is on the law committee or the police force, odds are they'll get priority. If you wish to take part and/or have any questions, please feel free to comment here ~~so Ty can answer~~!

Send in the Probes (Plotting Post!)

Shockwave's been rather reclusive and locked up in his hidey hole. Of course, he hasn't been loafing about all that time, he's been creating a large fleet of hovering drones. The drones themselves are disk-like and small by Cybertronian standards (only about 3 feet in diameter). They aren't armed and they aren't aggressive(unless aggressively scanning counts), but there sure are a lot of them.

Their purpose? To map out every square inch of the Haven they can squeeze into(Think of the spectragraphs from Prometheus). They will be traversing over large swaths of land and going into the Temples to see what they can find. They'll swoop in, scan, and leave. They also will travel individually, there won't be any groups sticking together.

Naturally, I'm going to assume all character locations are locked (and thus inaccessible) unless otherwise stated. If you want to have a drone snooping about your character's location feel free to post about it after Feb 20th. I'll be tossing up a Comm Post by next Friday, Feb 22, where I'll play the drones if you want someone to interact with them.

( Read more... )UPDATE: The post will be moved to the 24th-25th

that call to Megatronus' peeps

This is in response to Shockwave's call out for those with a Megatonus glyph. Because I am good at organizing and getting this ooc post up on time, clearly.

Shockwave's been given the task of basically scoring how well all of Megatronus' fight, and so to do that he needs to fight everyone - willing or not. That means there's 13 people (as I write this anyway) that he'll be actively trying to get a hold of and into the arena.

Now this is where those of you with characters that have a Megatronus glyph come in. ~~Contacting you all this way means I can be lazy and not have to track you all down separately.~~ I'd like to know how each of you would like to go about this. Handwaving, logging, whateverthehell elsing. ETC! Just let me know and we will work stuff out!

( notey things for the fights )

Plott-y thing?

Hi guys~

Recently Blurr got mod approval of find with a turbofox. They robot-fox like creatures that run like they're on speed and can be trained with effort (but they usually aren't all that bright).

I was thinking that, since the Lambda is the reason why the turbofox arrived to the planet all of sudden and the best is confused and nervous, some chars might cross path with something blue-ish that goes really fast. So fast they can't probably see it properly, not even when the turbofox is making them trip or running over the things the mechs are working on: like building in construction, it can get inside the medbay, people's workshop, rooms, etc...

Your mechs are free to post about it, either blaming Blurr or telling him to find what the hell is going on.

What do you think?

I need a volunteer or something

OKAY.

I need a way for Catwoman to get from Solus' Temple to Vector's since there is quite a distance between them. I'd like to get her there without really being seen since she's going to sneak around all Catwoman-y.

So if anyone has a giant robot or a quick way to travel from point a to point b that she could sneak a ride on, I'd appreciate it.

So, who wants to get murdered?

Okay, this is what is going down and I want to keep this organized, especially as I'll have to hiatus as of tomorrow night because I'm going on a trip to visit our lovely head mod and subject her to my horrible self.

Overlord is going to publicly torture IDW Perceptor on the network. The idea is to bait the police and people to fight him. The catch is, you gotta find him first.

So to keep things from getting messy, Drift is the one claiming the rescue. Overlord's not going to be with him at that point, though, so they're excluded from step 2: Fighting Overlord.

So, to keep things from going nuts, I've got 6 slots for other people to slide into. Ie finding Overlord and I guess ending up in a tussle with him.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Let me know if you want your character to be killed and we can work out some gruesome death. Just a fair warning, anyone who fights with him will probably be at least mangled in some way. Overlord was a Phase Sixer-- in IDW, a phase sixer is a mech picked by Megatron to wipe out whole planets.

I haven't decided what'll happen to Overlord in the aftermath-- escape or arrest, but I'd rather not have him killed jsyk.

Book Collection! (Call for Input!)

I was going to have Wing make a Link post for this, but I don't think he's ready yet.

See, he loves his stories, historical or fictional. Drama, action, romance, philosophy... his interests are pretty varied, and he's curious as all hell. Plus with all these individuals from Earth he's feeling a bit out of the loop on their pop culture. He'd do better to just ASK someone for a primer on Earth culture, but well, that'd be way too easy.

So he's been collecting books, periodicals, and other forms of literature from the Junk Pile. And hoarding them in his room. And reading them all. (Thank goodness for optical zoom right? He has an old car antenna he turns pages with.)

I already know he's picked up a book on Arthurian legends and The Art of War by Sun Tzu (the title of which perplexed him and the content was definitely not what he expected.) He's likely picked up a few romance novels, too. FOR LAWLZ.

However, what he finds is pretty random, and rather than decide the rest myself, I put the fate of this poor mech's pop culture education IN YOUR HANDS!

So suggest anything you want here OOCly: books, magazine, newspapers, printed fanfic, whatever! Get creative! Give a vague description, make something up, or link me something on Amazon. Just as long as it's enough for me to get a feel for topic and content and then I'll let it seed my CR. (This has started a bit already, a few may have noticed)

If there's something you think would be cool to share in character, he WILL eventually make a Link post asking for books. Or you can stumble across him in the Junk Pile reading or maybe even at Vector's while refueling. Regardless let me know and we can discuss. :D

In the same post he'll probably go further to ask if there's interest in setting up a public library of sorts for the community. If that happens he'll likely donate most of what he's gathered to it, but I'm working up top that still.

SIDEQUEST: a task of gods and demons

All right, so! Per Ashitaka's most recent post, he is aiming to trek out into the Badlands so he can try to contain his curse. Prima has sent him out on this quest, and has given him a device that will collect dark energy out there. So you wanna join Ashitaka on this journey, comment on his post.

( DETAILS )

I imagine we'll do one or two logs at the most in regards to the journey. If you want your character to back out, lemme know, and I can have Ashitaka come up with a reason for them to not come.

[Law system and Police force]

Hello guys, this is Lylith.

The number of habitants in the planet/game is often increasing and the chars are getting in trouble, so some suggested to create a law system. Here's an IC post of Blurr were your char can give his/her two cents about it and also apply to be a member of the Law committee.

No idea how the laws/members of the committee will finally be established, so for now you can go wild and have your chars start a political campaign so they are elected if you feel like it. Go wild and have fun.

For the commitee they probably need an uneven number of members from different species. I think 5 might be a good number but this post is open to opinions and insights. Seriously guys help me out I have no idea about laws and stuff.

The police force will also need some more members (since it's only Blurr so far) and at least a pair of Drill instructors! Not to mention a proper building, a boot camp, some cells/prison. The bots are going to be busy building up all sort of things.

And so..yeah I suck at explaining things. ^^ Questions?

(no subject)

So, first person to respond gets to find Ratchet crumpled in a heap in the medbay.

He's gone asplode mostly because I need to take a hiatus, due to FanExpo being this weekend. ICly, though, the prototype he's been working on for Noisy Boy's arm accidentally activated and set off an explosion with just enough impact to cave in his chest-plating and set off an automatic powered down state. He'll be out for a couple days, until Barricade (or whoever else?) manages to get him back into functional condition again.

Please don't draw things on his face (by which I mean, do what you will <3)
