Information: Plot Requests

[singularitymods]

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: <b>Your Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <b>Nature of the Action:</b> (ie, requesting a business license, major piracy, player plot) <b>Explain in more detail how this will work:</b> (we don't need an essay, but some sort of outline with what you want to do and how you want to do it. <b>When do you expect this action to be carried out?</b> (a date or ballpark is fine. Give some lead time in case the mods need to ask for further details before approval.) <b>Is this illegal and/or sure to have negative consequences?</b> <b>If so, do you have a plan for what's going to happen to your character?</b> (ICA = ICC. Even if the end result is "he gets away with it" we still want to know in order to keep track.) <b>Does this involve characters other than your own?</b> <b>If so, have you gotten the other players' permission?</b> (godmoding is NOT allowed. If you don't already have permission from other involved characters' players, you need to get it before putting a plot in motion. Things that might affect an area don't need explicit permission from everyone, but should be designed so that players can opt-out without trouble)

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.

Your Name: Aaron
Character Name: Jade Harley
Character Journal: astrometry
Nature of the Action: System haxx0rs, with a side effect of body modification!
Explain in more detail how this will work: Jade and Jadesprite have been scheming since...oh, about early December to get Jadesprite a body. However, Jade knows that hacking Credits won't work since Sollux got in serious trouble last time. So her solution is two-fold: hack into the teleporter regeneration data AND replace the lines of Jadesprite's data that make her into a sprite with lines copied from Jade's own archives (from somewhere pre-arm removal, so late September).

Something like this has been in Jade's mind since she was SHOJade during the species swap event; while she was an omniscient computer goddess, she managed to locate the files for regeneration but she didn't touch them at the time because she had no use for them. Now, she's just using the memory of its location for her own purposes.

BUT AS A FUN DISTRACTION MEASURE FOR SEMLEY while Jade is busy doing the poking and prodding in what is probably something that's not to be tampered with, Jadesprite is going to be breaking shit. Like some sort of horrible evil person (because we all know Jadesprite is SO EVIL), Jade has instructed her to blow shit up to grab Semley's attention. You know, holding hostages and threatening to blow up important buildings, that sort of thing.

Obviously, there will be a lot more crying than blowing shit up, but there you go.

Jade manages to alter the code and then...well, uh. Jadesprite needs to die to come back as a human, so she. WIll have to do that. (Jade didn't think this through that far, okay.) ANYWAY point is, Jadesprite will be returning as a human, hopefully with no memories of being destructive because that would be sad.

And then Jade gets some sort of punishment for breaking into Extremely Important Documents, because Semley isn't stupid and neither is Hypatia. Everyone's happy.
When do you expect this action to be carried out? Late March, if you're able!
Is this illegal and/or sure to have negative consequences? Sure does.
If so, do you have a plan for what's going to happen to your character? Akin to a more severe penalty for Lock-Out: I'm not sure what you would want from Jade, but I'm up for pretty much anything except ridding her of God Tier powers permanently.

Also Aith says that Jadesprite getting a penalty for blowing buildings up and being Jadezilla is fine.
Does this involve characters other than your own? Yes; Jadesprite (deusexmachinarf). Possibly also Semley, but it would function more as an extension of the Lock-Out System, so I would post it there if it got approved (for proper notification). ALSO I SUPPOSE SOME SORT OF KIDNAPPED PERSONAGE, but we would take volunteers if the plot got approved and absolutely no harm would be done to them other than the shame of being kidnapped by a sobbing dog girl.
If so, have you gotten the other players' permission? Yep! Aith! is down with it.

Hey! How many days would you need for this plot to go down?

[astrometry]

For the actual plot, probably only a day or two. One day for the actual Jadesprite "kidnapping" people and Jade working to get her a new body, and then the next for Semley doing his whole Semley thing. But Jade will be working on her initial plans as soon as we get the OK.

[singularitymods]

Would the first week in April work for you guys?

[astrometry]

Yes! That works great for both of us.

[mangles]

Excellent. We'll have one plot wrapping up on the 30th if you'd rather wait until later in the week, but you've got that entire stretch to work with so no rush.

[quarkylass]

Wonderful! I get back from Spring Break on the 1st, so that works perfectly.
