Hey guys! So we wanted to talk about a few things with the plot.

Hey guys! So we wanted to talk about a few things with the plot.
Hey guys! So we wanted to talk about a few things with the plot.
Throck
First of all, we wanted to remind people "The Spies Who Sprocked Us" is supposed to be done by 4/8, and we wanted to see if people needed more time. We can't get too off schedule because of mod team stuff in June and July, due to me moving, but we can add another week.
Throck
Second, I wanted to offer that the mod team make up more specific scenarios for people, since it seems like people might be having trouble. If you need some kind of stealth scenario, you can grab a buddy and ask for a scenario in the mod question part of the masterpost here.
Throck
Third, I do want to remind people that it's possible to lose a mission. We don't have every mission set up that way and usually don't do it for missions where the mods have to npc something because we don't want us holding up anything to contribute
Throck
But for major stuff like with the herald, there is the capacity to lose.
Throck
For the Joker, the players involved successfully threaded out his capture.
Throck
For Out With the Old, people made the right choices to take out the LoSV leaders.
Throck
And for Tinker Tailor, activity decided how many Fatal Five were taken out, and people threading out saving civilians decided how many were saved.
Throck
For this plot, taking down the Council-members, getting proof, and saving the two prisoners can be handwaved, but since catching the Herald is dependent on the characters' actions, if it's not played out, she'll get away.
Throck
Where she can wreak havoc and potentially kill people ala the Joker
Revenge Guac
...so we have a week to knock some heads together, basically.
Throck
We can add another if you need it.
Throck
But we can't really... I mean we really can't handwave almost a whole plot, you know?
Throck
Maybe the ending to one.
just spite
Yeah, we need to get people together and feel out a real plan and get it done.
just spite
there a time that would be good for people to get this worked out?
science crime
I mean, the plan is in the ooc comm
Throck
A lot of involves just grabbing a partner and doing things
science crime
I'm not sure what still needs to get hashed out at this point? Do we want to start a separate thread for actually trying to take down War?
Revenge Guac
I know the final subthread is all one thread, and the fighting ninjas subthread branches into multiple subthreads. Is the betrayal subthread all one thread or branching?
science crime
If that's the part that's still up in the air
science crime
I personally am tagged in and am just waiting for people to jump on board.
Throck
Betrayal is also subthreads
Throck
Like each person grabs a partner to fake betraying or getting betrayed and goes
Revenge Guac
good to know!
Throck
It's pretty much the same as heistplot
Throck
Where there was a section where people picked partners for heisty tasks, a section where people could grab partners for car chases, and then a single-thread thing for the final group getting the artifact.
Throck
In this, there's a section to pick partners for sneaky tasks, a section to pick partners for dramatic fake betrayals, and a single thread section for the group of "traitors" to get more information and spring the trap.
Throck
So pretty much the same setup.
Throck
And the mods are offering to extend another week, and if people are having trouble coming up with sneaky tasks, to come up with specific ones for people.
just spite
I think that would help.
just spite
I would personally be in favor of that.
6LilacMimeLions
i've just been failing at everything for like two solid weeks now, but i can prioritize this :|9
6LilacMimeLions
who wants to do the standard video game "make the physical connection so the ai can get in" run with cortana
Throck
They won't be particularly complex. Like "Two ninjas are guarding a door you need to get through and will see you coming on direct approach. But there are vents and maintenance shafts all around them, and your Legionnaires can also potentially lure them away"
Throck
But it might help
just spite
Yeah, anything that gives some sort of scope to the thing would be helpful.
Throck
If you need a scenario, you can ask here. Just give us who's teaming up so we can tailor it to powers and stuff.
Throck
And abilities
Throck
OR if it's easier over plurk, I can potentially set up a separate mod plurk for that. Would that be easier for some people, to talk in real-time?
Sue
I'm a much more effective real-time plotter, personally
Throck
I'll set one up. People can use this one for some general plotting if they still need it. That one will specifically be scenario requests.
Throck
You can also use this plurk for finding betrayal buddies
Tad Cooper
Popping in here as well to say that I'm down for a betrayal buddy if anyone needs it. I'll put up an open for one of the parts tomorrow otherwise.
