PLOT: Maurtia Falls Crimefighting Crackdown
WHO'S RUNNING IT: Me and whoever else is interested!
DURATION: Maybe one month? It would be a slow-burning open log.
AFFECTED: Participating characters, characters living in Maurtia Falls, ImPort criminals whose players volunteer them to have their lives made more difficult.
FALLOUT: New CR is formed, and maybe Maurtia Falls becomes safer and less corrupt. A little bit, at least.

DETAILS: As has been long-established ICly, Maurtia Falls is basically Pennsylvania’s answer to Mos Eisley Spaceport. This plot would see heroically-inclined characters come together on a coordinated month-long blitz aiming to clean up the streets and the corridors of power, to show what a difference ImPort heroes can make for justice.

In terms of organization, I’m picturing Network posts for organization and cooperation, and just a simple open log set throughout the month with a variety of prompts for players to play off of, depending on what best suits their characters. One prompt might feature standard street-patrolling, on the lookout for common muggers and burglars, while other prompts would focus on efforts to root out corruption in the local government and police through investigation and hacking. There would also be opportunities for lower-key CR building at whatever location ends up serving as the command base for this operation. This would be a plot for detectives, combat experts, and any character who wants to help make a difference- or for criminal players, have their “business” threatened.

As the newly stationed Ambassador, Revan will throw in his support with this effort whole-heartedly. At least publicly.

This is actually a similar idea to something I was thinking. That Maurtia Falls would need a more active group of security minded imports making sure the streets stay safe. I'd like it if this plot blossomed into a regular position within Maurtia Falls.

One I'm sure Revan would approach Jacob about.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

I might be interested in Jacob and co. becoming permanently-patrolling guardians of the Falls, but it will depend on who ends up in his team and what their players are up for! Assuming Jacob keeps working with the Future Foundation while heroing, he'd probably keep living in De Chima as long as he can balance his double life.

[exchangesfor]

I'd love to throw Toothiana at something like that. Once someone tells her what counts as a crime and what doesn't, she'd be happy to help clean the streets (for the children!!)

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Awesome, I'll keep her in mind for if and when this ends up happening!

[attainment]

I would be interested in throwing Barnaby at this. C:

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Given his extensive experience and leadership, do you think Barnaby might end up helping to organize this effort?

[attainment]

That's definitely a possibility. It's worth noting his expertise mostly revolves around cleaning up the streets and maybe rooting out crime syndicates/drug cartels. Tackling corrupt officials isn't something he's had the opportunity to do much at home, but he'd open to coming up with ideas to document proof in order to expose people's crimes.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Maybe he'd be better suited to helping organize the 'conventional' side of crime-fighting, patrolling streets and smashing gangs, while more subtle characters work on reforming local systems so that justice gets done...

[attainment]

That would probably work best, yeah!

[girlwithout]

I WOULD BE ALL FOR THIS Rikki's actually already used the mirror network to ask people what is up with Maurtia Falls because it is a scummy scum of scumminess and wants to work on fixing that.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

I've noticed that post! Jacob has noticed the scumminess as well. Does Rikki have any ideas ICly for how Maurtia Falls could be cleaned up?

[girlwithout]

It was pointed out to her that there's probably some corruption going on in the police and the military that would be good to address. On a personal level, Rikki's especially concerned with the safety of vulnerable populations like minors since she was a homeless teen up to the point she came to MoM from.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Maybe she can take charge of actions that would particularly benefit Maurtia Falls' most vulnerable, then. Because I think most of the characters stepping forward thus far wouldn't really have the same insight into that side of things that Rikki does.

[nestingdevil]

Just saw this on your plurk, etc, etc. But if ya'll want a low-key criminal? Greed and The Devil's Nest is totally open to whatever.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

How would you feel about there being a separate prompt in the open log just for interviewing Maurtia Falls PCs about their thoughts on local corruption, private safety, etc.? For characters on the shadier side of things like Greed, these interviews could double as a pretext for investigating their affairs.

[nestingdevil]

Sounds great to me! I'm totally in!
