WOW, I SAID I'D DO IT, AND IT HAPPENED?



Welcome to the first PLOTTING MEME of 2015!

DIRECTIONS:


Either:
1. Make a post for each plot you'd like to either see or discuss running
2. Fill out the below form for each plot you'd like to discuss describing:

PLOT: What type of plot?
WHO'S RUNNING IT: Are you wanting to run this plot, or wish someone else would? Maybe you'd like to collaborate?
DURATION: How long will the plot be in effect?
AFFECTED: Who will be included in this plot? How can we participate?
FALLOUT: Do you wish this plot to have a permanent effect on the world, or just temporary fun? How will it affect the imports and the setting? Will there be any reward/memento from the event?

DETAILS: Here you can pitch the idea in detail, explaining why such a plot would be fun, what you'd like to see happen, and just your general picture.


3. Answer any questions people might have about your plot and work towards setting it in motion!

OR:
Tag people's ideas and share your own insights, make suggestions or just give them support by letting them know you're interested and would like to see this plot happen!

Did anyone say 'Kaiju'? I knew someone did. Probably me. Beside the point.

PLOT: GIANT MONSTER ATTACK. Have we had one of those? Did I miss it?
WHO'S RUNNING IT: I'd be happy to, with some help.
DURATION: Oh, geeze, at least a week Two weeks? I'd love it if it went on longer, but giant monsters get annoying after a while. Ho hum, Godzilla attacked Tokyo again...and let's not forget about cleanup duties. Giant Monster Poop is probably hazardous to one's (anyone's) health. Might grow some amazing crops after tempered, though.
AFFECTED: ImPorts! Locals! Cities! Countries! THE ENTIRE WORLD. *cough*
FALLOUT: The aforementioned dead bodies of monsters, monster waste, possible nuclear fallout depending on what's used to destroy said monsters. I think the reward would be survival, more than anything. Yay, we beat the monsters...! ow, ow, ow, I think I broke something - IS THAT JOHNNY?!?! JOHNNY DEAD? NO, JOHNNY, NO!!! etc.

DETAILS: Russia, aliens dun it, Evil Mad Scientists (TM), nuclear waste caused it, weird things happening with the Porter? Whatever it is, GIANT MONSTERS rise up out of the ocean, or deserts, or Himalayas, or wherever, and start attacking, because you just can't reason with creatures like that, especially when they've been woken from a billion years of sleep or, well, you know the drill.

Military and ImPorts combine all over the world to fight the nasties. Some may die (good thing they can be resurrected, yes?)! Possibly the monsters are beaten back to wherever they came from and...ooops, they could return at a later date? Or they've gone into hiding. Because Giant Monsters always make for fun times for all.

this sounds like fun! maybe a monster dies and the residents of wherever it showed up use its skeleton as some kind of building structure? lol.
hands4healing: (Good surprise)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! Or something like Gatorland!

resipiscent: (jumping now)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2015-02-09 12:00 am (UTC)(link)

hands4healing: (I approve!)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 12:36 am (UTC)(link)

hands4healing: (You make me happy)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Me, too. I've always wanted to play a giant monsters (and/or Jurassic Park) scenario!

[personal profile] resipiscent 2015-02-09 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
what about like a "cloverfield" situation where the monster isn't exactly fightable and you have to contend with its millions of horrifying young?

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
That is in my comments, indeed. :D

this kid's pretty good at beating up gross monsters. <3

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Huzzah! Beating up monsters would be the name of the game, indeed.

[personal profile] resipiscent 2015-02-09 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
also they should be like grossly toxic or something. but not. make you explode or anything. cuz that's gross.
hands4healing: (Gasp!)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, like the babies in Cloverfield? That could be a bit drastic, yes.
resipiscent: (Default)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2015-02-09 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, like that! though maybe some players want to blow their characters up, i don't know. :)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
We'll see what happens!
hypnotherapy: ([h] how about being animals for real?)

[personal profile] hypnotherapy 2015-02-08 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
giant monster plot yes i am all for this

are the monsters themselves going to be horrendously toxic in some way like pacrim kaiju or are they just gonna be regular (?) gigantic awful monsters from the depths
hands4healing: (I approve!)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I personally like spawning radioactive monsters with babies that eat everything in sight, but that's just me. I'm open to suggestions!
darkpants_warmfeeling: (Default)

[personal profile] darkpants_warmfeeling 2015-02-09 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yes yes yes

Three suggestions:

1) Monsters spawn parasites or baby monsters so characters not powerful enough to harm the big ones have an enemy more their size

2) When the kaiju attack, the Government reveals that it has a super-secret giant mecha program lying in wait for exactly this kind of situation. Characters without the raw power to fight kaiju get made pilots. This gets stuck in everyone's head.

3) Players signing up their characters get the chance to fill out a form to create their own monster- either something original, or something Ported in from a fictional canon. Players have the option of 'DMing' their monster NPC during combat, or just letting the characters fighting it control its actions in the thread.

4) Plenty of prompts for disaster response/rescuing/healing/organizing so non-combat characters get involved in the effort to Save Humanity.
hands4healing: (No tears unless they're happy)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-09 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I like your first suggestion because it's kind of inline with what I was considering. *points up to previous comment*

Second suggestion, well, it takes time to learn to pilot those things (or should, realistically, unless the government can implant that info right in their heads). If there are giant monsters attacking, bringing out something that might take a lot of time to use wouldn't be helpful is my thought. Maybe the cybertrons could use them? Unno.

The BUILD YOUR OWN MONSTER TM is such a great idea!

And as my only character in the game is a non-combatant, yes, there would definitely be disaster response teams.
darkpants_warmfeeling: (Side)

[personal profile] darkpants_warmfeeling 2015-02-09 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
wait that was four suggestions

Anyway I'm glad you like! For the mechas, maybe the government would have Magical Brain Downloading nanites for instantly learning how to operate them 'I suddenly know kung-fu'-style? I just really want mechas

But then Winry would want to TAKE THEM APART. and would be so very disappointed no one would let her...

If it's approved, I'll put up a poll or something re jaagers or whatever they are.

I'm really just here to say I love the idea. Nuclear waste giant monster and babies for all your heroing needs.
hands4healing: (You make me happy)

[personal profile] hands4healing 2015-02-10 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, I'm glad you love the idea!

I just kinda have a thing for giant monsters? I blame it on the B&W giant insect movies and Godzilla stuff I watched as a child.

...that works, right?
