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.

Whenever in the month is fine with me. And breaking up into sub-groups sounds like a plan. I'd rather not have my slowness terrorize everyone, though I will be prioritizing this over other logs.

middle or end of the month is better for me, i think! c: so whichever works for all of us.

sub threads works for me, too, like, assuming we all mean the distraction vs drug administration?

and if we jump into it, i figure that means like, after they're already on the atoll and have split up to take on the gha'nals? i'm down with like, sub threads set earlier too idk what you guys all feel like threading out, but i'm cool with most things

Okay, I'll set the time to be after most of the other missions have ended, so they don't clash somehow. I think everyone should make sub-threads depending on what they want to do on the side (for example, armin needs a thread to glare at reiner for a bit), and then one main thread for the actual fight, is that okay? And by fight I mean the adult gangan, the baby could probably be a different thread.

Make a thread to glare away in. Maybe we can assume Reiner hustled Armin off into some quiet private corner of... whereever they are when they figure out it is both of them on this mission. Probably would happen before they even set out to go fight the gangan. I don't think either of them would leave without clearing up that little business. :|a

I wanted to let you know (well that and everybody else) that i seem to be coming down with the flu, so my tags might end up delayed for a few days.

i'm cool with one thread per fight, if we all think that'll work c: the baby will probably be a little easier for them after the fact, too.

if we want one fight thread for the adult to start, does anyone in particular want to start it? otherwise i definitely don't mind throwing it up, bc annabeth would/could be like yo ok let's get to the thing

[personal profile] strategisch 2014-03-14 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm cool with Annabeth doing it, I also get a ringleader vibe from her!
