MISSIONS | March 2014
Greetings, Tushanites!
March 1st happens to mark a new phase of gameplay here in the wonderful world of turtles and we need you to make it work! Below, there are five missions. Please read them over carefully and then fill out the textarea form at the bottom. There is an element of randomization here but players can also submit missions for pre-formed groups of their own choosing! Part of expanding the known realm of Konryu, we've updated and expanded our Setting page to include 8 new continents which are going to be gradually opened for exploration and development, which you'll start to see coming in to play in the missions below.
As detailed in our State of the Shell: Missions section, each mission your character undergoes (threaded out with at least ten comments from your character) is worth a credit, and each handwaved mission is worth half a credit. Please note: only missions that you yourself come up with can be handwaved. The 'mod missions' are ones where participation is considered mandatory, as you are filling a limited slot. If we notice a trend amongst any one player of signing up for missions and leaving their mission-mates hanging, we will be speaking with them to determine a suitable outcome.
March is a bit different than what will follow, as this is a new concept and we're trying to put a system in place that works for everyone, so for this month we have five prefabricated missions, so that players can get some understanding of what can be done in the world. If you'll note we also have a comment header where you can suggest the sorts of missions you'd like to see in the months that follow! Feel free to be as succinct or not as you please, as we'll be basing next month's missions on this feedback.
We also have a comment header for questions. Please don't hesitate to for more information or clarifications... we're new to this too!
This month's planned missions are as follows:
→ SIAXHI (INVESTIGATION)
→ VIAN THAX (RESCUE)
→ TEYRAN (EXPLORATION)
→ GHA'NAL (QUEST)
→ DUST (UNDERCOVER)
Each month, a player can volunteer a character for up to three mod missions. Like other limited space elements in the game, we ask that each player only submit one character from their roster for the mod missions, though their other characters can be submitted for player missions, so long as it's one mission per character per month. To sign up, fill out the information below and choose your top three missions in order of preference. If there are more signups than available spaces for a mission, we will RNG characters into the slots. If your character isn't RNG'd into the first mission, they'll be added to the pool for the second mission, and so on for the third.
Mod missions will be tallied and their participants notified on the 5th of the month @ ~9:00PM EST. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that everyone who signs up a character for a mission will be chosen for one of the mod missions, as it is based solely on the number of signups for each one. In the event that your character isn't chosen for any of your three choices, you can still sign them up for a player mission before 9:00PM PST on the 7th.
Player missions can involve either just your character or a pre-planned group, or even have open signup! Once your mission is approved by the mods, including any clarifications or extra information needed, you're set for playing it out. Remember that the mission can take place at any point throughout the month. For convenience purposes, we've also created the %missions tag in the log comm and we'd be very appreciative if it could be added to mission logs when they get posted.

MISSION SUGGESTIONS
Re: MISSION SUGGESTIONS
1) Since we are already getting undercover work from the Dust mission, maybe an infiltration/undercover mission where a foreigner or two to get on the good side of one of the gangs. Maybe staging them committing a crime or saving gang members from the police and moving from there. It could be something that lasts on and off for weeks or maybe even more than a month until the Foreigners get on the gangs good side.
2) A mission ala Indian Jones! Special item needs to the found/studied, group could be sent as bodyguards and travel partners for the kedan doing the research. A bunch of different things could happen depending on what route they take, how the Foreigners get along with the kedan on the mission, what booby traps are sprung or NOT sprung, etc.
3) Spying on and or infiltrating one of the Malicant cults! Whether in keeliai or in another country. Maybe trying to get some very important information out of them or going in to capture and extract a high-ranking member to bring back for interrogation.
4) I would love to see missions that would put characters in more positions of doing things they wouldn't necessarily like or agree with. Or missions that are darker and some wouldn't mind but others would not be as happy to find out about. Like maybe being pushed to hurt or kill someone to keep up a facade, say if they were impersonating people from another land to get something out of a ruler or leader in another country. Characters would be faced with going along or having to find a way around it to keep up their disguise.
5) In connection with #4, possible assassination missions! But only if they wouldn't mess up the relationship with Evandau and the Foreigners too much. I just think it would be interesting to see which Foreigners he might put those kind of missions toward and how hush-hush they would have to keep them. Bumping off people in other countries to make them more favorable to Keeliai and an alliance against Malicant.
6) Scavenger hunt type missions! People having to look for clues or riddles to find items that could really help them in the fight against Malicant. They could start with one large group and branch into smaller ones to find the items.
Overall, I'd just love to see a big variety of missions with some of them possibly being more long term than a week or two. They don't have to be constant, but something characters may have to keep up with and go back to time and again.
