Information: Plot Requests

plot requests

This page is for suggesting plot ideas (either player-driven events or general suggestions) for perusal by the mods. We encourage players to come up with and run their own events, and would be happy to help refine an idea to best suit the game setting and the other players. Don't want to run your own event? This is also the place to suggest general ideas, such as "I think we should have some kind of weather event where it storms for days and knocks out power and people have to work together" etc.

For small events that only affect a handful of players, please consider requesting a mission. You want to hunt for ghosts in the empty hospitals? You want to space walk outside the station and fight zombies with a line gun? Tell us there!

As for large scale player-driven events...

large-scale action requests

Large-scale actions are player-driven game plots which will affect more than those directly involved in the planning. This can be anything from a bomb going off to a game show. In general, though, we only need to see a request form if an action will harm or threaten the population, including NPCs.

Mod approval is needed for these actions so that the mod team can work with players to ensure balance and plausibility with game canon and metaplot. As with everything in Singularity, players can pretty much do what they want, we'd just ask for moderation.

Some examples of large scale actions:
  • "I have a neurotoxin which causes temporary amnesia and disorientation I want to release into Kurzweil's vents."
  • "I have already found the Underworld and want to kidnap one of the insurgents to interrogate her."
  • "I want to kidnap Agent Texas and hold her hostage for ransom on the network."
  • "I want to hack into Sacrosanct's confidential records to see if I can find something."
To request a large-scale action, comment with the following:

The general rule with large-scale actions, and any other big deal requests, is to provide enough lead time in case the mods need to discuss any of the details with you. We are not in a mindset to outright reject anything; rather, if something doesn't quite work for us, we'd prefer to talk it out, to see if there's not another solution. The mods may also ask you to postpone your plot to avoid scheduling conflicts with other player plots, and event burn-out for the game at large.

If your plot is going to require special items, such as finding a fully functional EMP in the Junkyard, please note that in the description here instead of going to the Requests page. We will approve items on this page if they are related to a plot.

IDK if this is kosher, but this is a random idea I had off the top of my head.

Your Name: Pen
Character Name: None
Character Journal: N/A
Nature of the Action: A bunch of white walkers from A Song of Ice and Fire come through the rift
Explain in more detail how this will work: White Walkers are like evil zombie-creating winter fae or something who basically like killing everything that's alive and warm-bodied. So I guess a bunch of them come out of the rift, turn anyone they kill into wights (zombies) and wreak havoc until some heroes kill them or something.
When do you expect this action to be carried out? I have no idea, though a summer event would be very ironic
Is this illegal and/or sure to have negative consequences? Well people will probably die.
If so, do you have a plan for what's going to happen to your character? This one won't really be anyone's fault, just the rift spitting out dangerous stuff.
Does this involve characters other than your own? It involves whoever wants to be involved.
If so, have you gotten the other players' permission? It would be totally up to the player's discretion. If people didn't want to be involved, there are plenty of warm Garden Zones that the Walkers would probably avoid.

Pfft dude of course. This one's just a dumb little idea anyway LMFAO. We can even save it for autumn or something so it's more timely :3
