MISSIONS | April 2014
Hello Chelonauts!
As part of the changes from our State of the Shell: Missions post in February 2014, we're expanding the known realm of Konryu and have updated and fleshed out the Setting page to include 8 new continents which are going to be gradually opened for exploration and development.
This month we have THREE prefabricated missions (fewer than March because of the scope of April's metaplot) but with plenty of opportunity still for player missions. 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 take these suggestions into account when creating the next month's missions based on this feedback as well as a comment for mission-related questions. Please don't hesitate to for more information or clarifications... we're still fine tuning everything to make sure players are able to get the most ICly and OOCly out of these missions.
MOD MISSIONS
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.
This month's planned missions are as follows:
→ YNRADN (NEGOTIATION)
→ ENDAI (ASSASSINATION)
→ IASHU (EXPLORATION)
PLAYER MISSIONS
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.
MISSION CREDITS
Each mission your character undergoes (threaded out with at least ten comments from your character, across any number of threads in the log) 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.
Mission credits can be claimed on the following month's AC post, where they will be confirmed by the mods and added to a spreadsheet for tracking.

... have to query the mods if, should the information about the blood rite comes from Bucky specifically, there'll be outcry against him personally, and with what consequences.
He can provide some symbols from memory - both from the rite/sacrifice that he and his group interrupted (a long time ago) at the turtle's head, and from stuff like the portals. It doesn't have to be actual blood magic stuff, right?
apparently dw ate my comment and I never knew
Also when is a good time for everyone to do this? The weekend is when I have the most time but beyond that I'm not picky.
Re: apparently dw ate my comment and I never knew
Bucky doesn't actually know blood magic. He can just help them fake it.
Weekend sounds good to me, I can put up a post tomorrow?
