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.

Player: Zee.
Character(s) & Journals: Eridan Ampora, ([personal profile] unconchonable), Garrett Hawke ([personal profile] iwannabeadragon), Hal Jordan ([personal profile] animosus), Kyle Rayner ([personal profile] imaginate), Mark Grayson ([personal profile] shorttempered), Pavel Chekov ([personal profile] starcharter), Tony Stark ([personal profile] definingfuture), Yousuke Hamamura ([personal profile] goodanswer) confirmed, waiting on a few more.

Mission Duration: Approximately three days real-time, in Dreaming-time... unknown.
Mission Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
Mission Type: Exploration. The Dreaming plane has been accessible from Keeliai for some time but as extensive tests haven’t been run on it (MAGIC), it’s science to the rescue! All characters entering have the mental fortitude to shape the plane to their choosing, so as to minimise risk of becoming lost or trapped.
Projected Plot Impact: Knowing more about the Dreaming plane! How to enter, exit, and manipulate it; finding anyone lost in there, what happens when you die in there, etc. Through Kithika it’s been proven that the Death plane can directly be used to influence people and objects, so the team would like to know if the Dreaming plane can offer them any help, or will be a hindrance.
Proposed Worldbuilding Changes: Does anything live in the Dream plane, ruling it? What does it reflect, and why? Is coming here dangerous? We shall find out.

Obviously a mission like this lends itself more to handwaving/assuming than actually threading and I kind of expected that. But. If you have time, is it possible to get a thread with an NPC either in being arrested or while down there, or Evandau?

I completely understand if you two don't and am not looking for an immediate answer, but would appreciate if you could keep it in mind.

Sorry! I would like to withdraw Tony from the mod missions and change to this if that is okay.

Not sure if player-run or mod-run, and my characters are sadly lacking in the actual skills to organize that, but it'd be interesting for somebody to organize something to the protection of the baby turtles? Right now, they're just. There and vulnerable.

It's an excellent suggestion but we'd love for players to be able to organize this, just to take advantage of the widest scope of character's abilities.

Sorry about that! The double sign ups elected to withdraw from mod missions if there's any who haven't replied to you yet <3
