STATE OF THE PLOT UPDATE/DISCUSSION

STATE OF THE PLOT UPDATE/DISCUSSION This is your periodic upcoming plots update/discussion. Based on player input and how quickly the game moves along, some plots may have their order or dates be shifted around in the future, or new plots may be added, but this is the current schedule of the game's upcoming mod plots. WELCOME TO MURDERWORLDWhen a new world the UP makes contact with through threshold drive exploration, Harrub, petitions to join the UP, the UP Council -- suspicious that Harrub's government is secretly oppressing their own population in ways that would make them ineligible -- asks the Legion to discreetly investigate. When the investigating team is betrayed by someone within the UP Council itself, they'll find themselves transported to Murderworld, an artificial planetoid where televised death arenas run 24/7. After finding himself accidentally transported to the Legion's universe through the Rift, the supervillain Arcade started working for Harrub's government, providing a place where Harrub's political dissidents and their families are forced to participate in gladiatorial combat while Harrub's corrupt political elite bet on the winners. The captured Legionnaires must fight against Arcade's copyright-infringing, hired mercenary "Tributes," try to protect the innocents currently trapped in Murderworld, and bring down the entire operation from the inside, while the Legionnaires outside must navigate a difficult political situation: they know their friends have been taken but can't get them back without admitting the UP was illegally spying on Harrub -- something that can be considered an act of war. ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 9-26-16 ⟶ 10-22-16 THE RIMBORIAN JOBAfter an important spiritual artifact is stolen from the people of the planet Dryad, and winds up in the possession of a corrupt Rimborian diplomat whose diplomatic immunity protects him from legal investigation, the Legion must resort to less than scrupulous means to get their hands on it and return it to the Dryads. The diplomat throwing a giant, fancy opera/circus exhibition and party in his casino provides the perfect opportunity for the Legionnaires to take back what rightfully belongs to Dryad. It's time for the Legion to dress up in their Sunday best and put on their fancy heisting shoes. Some people have all the money, they have all the power, and they use it to make people like the Dryads go away. The Dryads are suffering under an enormous weight -- the Legion can provide...leverage. ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. However players can only volunteer (1) character. ✦ Start Date: 11-07-16 ⟶ 11-18-16 NO SANITY CLAUSEOne of Chronoblivion's Heralds wreaks havoc on the capitol city of the planet Cargg, damaging Climate-con stations to cause dangerous weather patterns, planting bombs and other traps, and poisoning some of the population so they attack each other. The Legion must dismantle these traps, save the civilian populace, and stop the Herald from creating a trail of destruction. The defeat of the Herald can potentially strike a blow against Chronoblivion, and give them valuable information that may help in their fight to save the multiverse. ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. Being run at the same time as "The Happiest Place On Earth." ✦ Start Date: 11-28-16 ⟶ 12-12-16 THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTHThe accidental use of a cursed artifact in one of the rides in Disneyland (yes, Disneyland still exists, Disney is all-powerful) is causing hauntings and other disturbing phenomenon. When the Legion offers to stay overnight to investigate (like idiots), they find themselves trapped in the park with the rides and displays all coming to life. The Legion must run out the clock until dawn to have a chance of destroying the artifact, all while dodging haunted animatronics, animated character suits, and other frighteningly cheerful terrors. ✦ Size: Limited size, opt in. Being run at the same time as "No Sanity Clause." ✦ Start Date: 11-28-16 ⟶ 12-12-16 DISCUSSION/QUESTIONS Player plots and events may run alongside any of these plots (and some players already have some minor events planned!), so feel free to propose and run any in the upcoming months. As usual, Plot Mod Platinum will be running some flash plots, short one-off mini-plots that people can volunteer for. Watch the OOC for signups.
