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.

I for one am totally cool with being IC bossed around and also scolded, because Naugus is kind of a headstrong dick who thinks he's the most powerful guy on the block. Gotta remind him to play nice with others. :B

And this sounds like a pretty good set-up! EDIT: I just came back to this and realized I repeated a lot of what you already said, haha, I'm an idiot. CLEARLY, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA. And would the intel peeps want to split up into smaller groups/threads so threads can keep momentum?

Also, who wants to make the OP and set-up threads? I totally can, if no one else wants to or has ideas.

Considering that this is a city that's noteworthy because it's heavy on tech (and also underwater, I guess, Welcome to Rapture), that right there could be a big Booker contribution. Scramblin' their weaponized responses or other electronics. (I've only played the first Bioshock several years ago; is hacking vending machines and locks or whatever else still a thing too?)

Hahaha, a team with TWO head-strong 'NO I CAN DO IT' types. Fab.

Totally okay, I'd expect him to do that since we need him to use his powers! And Armin has finally gotten used to you superhero guys and your MO with the costumes and stuff, so it's no big deal.

Lol I've never actually played an MMO but the terminology seemed relevant!!

Taiki is good at sneaky but he also will just do whatever people tell him to and so will go and be a distraction

So yes I like this plan. Other note that one of Taiki's powers is binding creatures (like the shirei) and though it won't work (or at least I am assuming he won't) but he will probably try (especially if they get into trouble)

He will be cool with superheroes though he has not yet met one

Nope, no hacking! It's 1912 so while there's some crazy gadgetry going on because steampunky alternate universe, it's not on the level of that. This is possession.

It's all mechanized-clockwork stuff in his world.

i could see her making him take some and sort of being like: whoever gets it in the mouth first, do the thing. SHE'S NOT EXACTLY GOING TO BE THINKING SAFE FOR HERSELF SOB but she will want to make sure the thing gets drugged. she'll def be aware that bart is the faster one here, though, and probably tell him to be ready for a quick escape if necessary.

and no worries over the costume/identity! he might get an eyeroll from annabeth if only bc sigh these superheroes on the turtle and their secret identities.

I'm sorry I don't know Taiki's character, are you really fine with it? I was just making assumptions of course, if there's something he would be better at he should definitely do that!

[personal profile] notagiraffe 2014-03-06 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Naw it's really cool, he's never done anything like this before (outside of running around trying to catch demons) so he will really just be following those who seem to know what they are doing

Also he will probably want to stick close to Reiner since he's the only person he knows and he is the most nervous tiny unicorn you will ever meet

Still Marie/Bart-mun. You'd think the demigods, what with being hunted by monsters and all that, would be a little more understanding on hiding who you really are. :)

Hiding who you are is sensible.

That spandex on the other hand...

"Healer down." "Can we get a b-rez on the tree?" "B-rez incoming" "Tank use cooldowns."

Me: "MY COOLDOWNS ARE FUCKING SLOTTED OUT TO THE SECOND IN THIS FIGHT I CANNOT USE THEM NOW OR WHEN HE DOES SHADOWSTRIKE WE WILL WIPE DO YOU WANT THAT NO TAKE THE OTHER HEALER OFF THE DAMN DEEPS AND LET THE WARLOCK DIE ALREADY HE DID IT TO HIMSELF HEAL ME NOW"

that was back home duh!! lmfao here, all of them are like SO BTW I'M HALF GOD \8D/ it's actually kind of nice being so open about it for them for once. she does get it though, and she'd never share anyone's identity she did discover (she knows damian = robin haha)

I watched some bits of Infinite over a friend's shoulder and recall it has a lot to do with huffing salt. Lots and lots of salt. Booker's sodium intake is through the roof and when he dies, he'll probably become a pillar of salt like Lot's wife.

BUT YES. STILL. HELPFUL.

Reiner is gonna go mama Braun on his ass for sure.

Which will likely bring out the dissociative episodes like woah. sorry Armin

Bart would have you know that it is a very advanced thermoacoustic polymer. Yes, I knew that off the top of my head. SOB. Don't judge me.

I had definitely hoped for Enj to go in for the riot aspect and distraction yes. He'd probably be good enough to draw a crowd even not into a riot really, since he's fairly attention catching at the best of times. I was rather hoping for that for him since that would suit quite well!

[personal profile] washitaway 2014-03-06 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
um excuse u they're called salts plural!!! and they're blue and glowy and you drink them you don't huff them!!! GOSHHHHH

and yeah that reminds me Liz will have to make sure he's fully stocked before he leaves

Reiner doesn't know what a polymer is. He's still working on concepts like indoor plumbing and electricity. Your science is useless here.

[personal profile] solo_patria 2014-03-06 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Enj as well. He'd definitely want to get what information they could get, but might be more inclined to bring them to the palace where people could better work on that.

WELL EXCUUUSE ME PRINCESS

Expect comments if he has to consume them while on the job. "What is that. Is that a potion? Let me see it. OH GROSS, IT'S SALTY."

Okay I DEFINTELY don't know what any of that meant, but it sounds stressful 8|

He would definitely probably be the best bet in leading that side of things then! This group seems to have a great distribution of talents for this particular mission. I wonder if they could get some kind of small communication devices to coordinate inside+outside stuff :|a

If the mods are okay with it, and depending on what the timeline is, I could probably have Scott whip up some primitive hand-held radios or whatever would suit best. :|a
beganwithamask: (Default)

[personal profile] beganwithamask 2014-03-07 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
the important question here is

would they get to pick silly code names to use on the radios
