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.

CHECK IN - OUTCOME

[personal profile] washitaway 2014-03-21 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
HEY GUYS! With Diana sadly dropped, I think now would be a good time to try and get a general idea of what the final outcome of this mission will be - as well as the specific dates they are/were gone and any potential injuries or anything like that so that we know when our characters will be back and can potentially start thinking about the immediate fallout.

I know I, for one, need to know what Booker's status is going to be on his return so that I know how and whether to throw him into other things at the end of the month, here, so what say you? Has everyone checked in? Is there anything specifically we want to have happen? I'd like Booker to come away with some injuries, personally, though probably relatively minor ones (a sprain and/or a cracked rib maybe). Should we be shooting for rescuing both agents or do we want to have Usta die? Let's check in!

I'm about to go to sleep but to keep this short: I'm all for Usta dying, I do like my dramatic endings buuut I am of course fine with saving them both. As for injuries that depends on the final plot we go for in my case, if it's simply sneaking inside the prison and getting them out it would make no sense for him to get injured but if we go with causing a distraction somewhere else like it had also been suggested he could get idk tramped by the multitude when he's found out?

I, too, am all in favor of Usta dying if we want to go that route (though getting both out would be fine too!). Booker will be in favor of a distraction, as well - being a baseline human I can easily have him injured in whatever scuffles may break out. He's used to it, hehe.

Sneaking in and still causing a ruckus is totally easily done with Naugus on the team, so I can easily enable some injuries for folks who wanna get a little roughed up. 8] Such as him sneaking in, leaving an illusion in the prisoner's place, but when it's discovered too soon, Naugus just unleashes his Bad Feels Aura and invokes a prison riot.

Frankly it just wouldn't be a mission for Booker without some violence at some point.

LET HIM USE DEVIL'S KISS OKAY

oh my god yes do it.

honestly I'm itching to use some of Nilin' stuff too aaahh excited
washitaway: (art)

[personal profile] washitaway 2014-03-22 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right?!?! Poor Booker has been shockingly non-violent in his time here haha. LIKE ALMOST NO ONE KNOWS HE EVEN HAS POWERS.
alterer: (memory)

[personal profile] alterer 2014-03-22 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha same goes for Nilin! Prepare yourself for questions about HOW YOU DO THAT Booker cause they'll be coming once she knows what you can do >:3

so yes yay new CR :D
washitaway: (cannot unsee!)

[personal profile] washitaway 2014-03-22 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
GOOD! I need more people to side-eye Booker. hahaha

He'll be like "well that's weird but don't try to explain it to me it'll just give me a headache".

OOOOOOH that sounds like the best of both worlds, yes 8)

I'm cool with Usta dying! But really I don't mind no matter how it goes. Perhaps we could get some form of information from her first (assuming there is some :|a) so that way if she dies we don't come back a quite so fail. XD

Nilin is all for stealth but if it comes to the crunch, and in her experience it generally does, she's more than happy to beat up some baddies to get what she needs so a scuffle could totally happen and Booker could get his injuries there.

As for dates, perhaps we run with the date that the log post went up? Just a suggestion. I'm cool with whatever!

[personal profile] washitaway 2014-03-22 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay with any dates - if we go by when the log was posted, that would be March 10-13 if that's okay with everyone?
alterer: (bring it on)

[personal profile] alterer 2014-03-22 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
