Event | Malicant & The Turtle of Plagueness | Wind down & Results

[ironwood]

Evening, chelo-nauts! Alex here to announce that the Malicant plot event is in its final stages, with the official end date being July 13th (known as 'Saturday' in some tongues). This entire event worked around the structure of team and independent investigations addressing the pressing issue of Tu Vishan's help in the context of Malicant being the root cause. Absolutely none of the outcomes to this event were planned in advance and, instead, they were reached by the actions and reactions of each character involved in it, team or otherwise. With that in mind, this post compiles summaries of what each team did, a listing of the independent investigations, and a final summary of how this has impacted Keeliai and Tu Vishan.

( Independent Investigations )

Conclusion
Here is the final summary of the event's impact on the city of Keeliai, the kedan population, and Tu Vishan itself! <3

Health & Powers
Due to the combined efforts of the characters, both in the independent investigations and with the team actions, Tu Vishan will be returning to full health! This will take up to two months for its full effect to come into play, but immediately there is a return of powers across the board. These powers start at roughly 70% of normal and will, over the course of two months, return to 100% in accordance with Tu Vishan's health.

Malicant
Many of the aspects of Malicant's enterprises within the kedan population have been hobbled or completely eradicated, setting it back to square one. Maybe two. The fearful murmurings of its existence will fade into the background as the kedan resume day-to-day life -- trigged by Tu Vishan swimming once more. Things appear to be back to normal. At least, for the moment.

Rationing
The rationing will be officially lifted by July 20th, with the health of Tu Vishan monitored a full week before the decree is lifted.

Kedan PR
With the restoration of the turtle and the lifting of the rationing sanctions, the kedan will show a positive improvement of opinion with regards to the Foreigners. They may not have banished Malicant completely, but they have saved the turtle from its illness and that is more than enough for the kedan.

Timing
The final date of the event is July 13th, with the characters waking up that day feeling the 70% restoration and Tu Vishan rising back to normal flotation levels as he continues onwards in his swim across the vast oceans of Konryu. All PSDs will be confiscated by this point and the portion of the investigations involving Foreigners closed off. Characters can report to precinct headquarters to review official case files for what their team was involved in.

Other
Do you have an questions about the outcome of this event? Feel free to comment in the Questions thread header of this post or by contacting us. As a side note, the HMD for this event should be going up this weekend sometime.

The next event commences July 24th -- an OOC post will come out early next week to outline the details and enable plotting for it.

Hey Chelonauts (look I used a fancy term)

Kate here. Just a quick note to let you guys know I'm dropping Johnny Storm (faceofthe4). He just hasn't been clicking right for awhile now, but I wanted to stick out the plot and wrap up as much as possible before giving him the boot.

Cheers.

hiatus!

More radio business!

[andaway]

So for anyone who doesn’t remember/wasn’t here when plotting for this started being a thing, Clark and Lois decided the turtle couldn’t stay without a newspaper (or more like they couldn’t stay long without their favorite jobs), but when faced with the problem of text not automatically getting translated they went for the next best thing:

They started building a radio with help of a certain rich bff who sometimes dresses as a bat! And now it’s already built.

(In this handy little list here I wrote down most of the people who offered their help for building it- some aren’t here anymore, I know, but if you want your character to be involved there will still be a lot of work to do when it comes to building the little radio-devices so poke me and it can be threaded/handwaved how Clark contacted them or viceversa!)

Now let’s start:

Radio? In this place?:

Yes! The mechanics built something maybe not exactly like a radio station but similar enough, because everyone (even the Emperor, Lieuen, Evandau…) has access to the network and they wanted this to be as private for the foreigners as possible. Clark also asked for it to be as nice with the environment as possible, hah.

They also built little radio devices that will be sold very cheaply. Clark would like to give them away but they have to have some profit :( the devices will only tune in to this station for now since it’s the only one in the turtle so they would only have to turn it on and voilà, news.

Ok but how will this work in-game?

Here’s where I need people’s help.
My plan was to make an OOC post with comments screened where people could leave whatever had happened to their character / what would have become common knowledge / useful information / AND IDK EVEN pimping someone’s store! i would put different's threads for each kind of information to keep things more organized.

ICly, the information could be given:
> By the character themselves
> By the character as an ‘anonymous source’, Clark and Lois would respect that
> By Clark/Lois/Other reporters finding out doing some snooping around
> Other options Al has forgotten hah

And then, in an IC post made by Clark (or someone else if they offer). In said post people could react to the news etc, but keep in mind it would be like a radio program so they wouldn’t answer back. It’s not a network post.

What kind of information would be useful?

Any kind of information! From game-changing things they find out about Malicant/the Emperor/The turtle idk to GOSSIP to the weather to suggestions... anything! 



Now time for your input, because this won’t work if I just assume everyone is on board. So the questions:

Would you have the radio work some other way? If so, how?: (If you think a radio wouldn’t work in this place this is the place to say so and explain why! Input is appreciated)
How often do you think OOC information recompilation /IC news post should be made? Weekly, monthly, daily?: (it’s ok to have different answers for the IC post and the OOC post)
Would you, the player be willing to share new information there?:
Would your character be interested in this?:
Would your character be interested in working in the radio?: (Most kind of radio-work can be talked over, I’m open to suggestions)
Other comments go here:
