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!

You have my sword when it comes to running this OOCly. In terms of organization, I might have mentioned this before but I like the idea of there being specific elements within the 'show' that lead to higher ratings (and earnings for charity, which would make a good motive for characters to participate).

So for example, if there's gratuitous property damage in a fight, that's worth $1000 extra, if there's blatant sexual tension between combatants, that's $5000 raised from an enthusiastic audience. The challenge for players then becomes crafting a fight thread that incorporates as many of these 'checkboxes' as possible, to make their Gladiators successful stars. While characters may genuinely be competing with each other, players will be collaborating to craft the most bombastic, memorable and epic action sequence they can.

And if it's all for charity and fun, it provides an IC justification for the government to grant access to the Sidereal tech!

Awesome! Let me know when you're OOCly ready to get this thing set up and assuming availability, we can start planning in earnest. :)
