STATE OF THE PLOT UPDATE/DISCUSSION

[letsgolegion]

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. CAMPING TRIPA welcome respite after all the serious events going on, the team is going on a camping trip inside a hollowed out planetoid. Gravity is slightly stronger than normal here, but otherwise, the Legionnaires are due for some fun in the artificial sun. However, the strange wildlife in the planetoid might pose a problem if any of it manages to bypass the sonic barriers... ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 11-11-16 ⟶ 11-25-16 MEDIA SHENANIGANSThe remote uploading and release of video from Murderworld (as well as other things) will lead to an explosive media circus, and a new "Legionnaire Legacies." ✦ Size: Gamewide event, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 11-18-16 IC ANON MEMEAfter recent events, the IC Anon Meme, visible ICly to the characters, will be as intrusive and hostile as ever -- especially when the UP public sees the released footage from Murderworld. ✦ Size: Gamewide event, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 11-20-16 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: 12-03-16 ⟶ 12-17-16 VALOR'S DAYUniversally celebrated through the United Planets, this yearly holiday celebrates the hero Valor, a Daxamite responsible for helping many UP species like the Braalians and Winathians to colonize their worlds over a thousand years ago. Valor's Day has over time evolved into a general holiday that promotes togetherness, charity, and good will through the galaxy. Valor's Day celebrations through the UP are know for their displays of multi-colored lights, decorated trees, garlands of various plants and flowers, and "goodwill" carols. Valor's Day is also associated with Valor pageants and "origin" plays, and the playing of the blootsplort horn and tringlebells. Traditionally, gifts are given between different individuals, with each species having their own specific gift-giving traditions. ✦ Size: Gamewide event, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 12-18-16 ⟶ 12-31-16 NO SANITY CLAUSEOne of Chronoblivion's Heralds, an alternate universe version of The Joker, 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 Joker from creating a trail of destruction. His defeat 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. Set during the same time as "Silent Horizon." ✦ Start Date: 1-02-17 ⟶ 1-20-17 SILENT HORIZONAfter the UP builds a ship with an experimental FTL drive that doesn't require a Kwai guide, the ship disappears and is later found derelict, floating around a star. Though there are no life signs aboard, several crew members were Robotican, meaning their deaths would have to be confirmed by boarding. The UP asks the Legion to investigate and once they go onboard the ship, they'll find themselves cut off from communication and facing a terrifying struggle for survival. A brutal and horrifying lifeform boarded the ship while in transit, hitching a ride back to the the Legion's universe, and starts turning the ship into a living nightmare, filled with monstrous creatures and mind-bending sights. Some Legionnaires who've dealt with horror and trauma will find themselves susceptible to the being's siren call and start transforming into monsters and attacking their friends. The Legionnaires that are immune to the transformations will have to destroy the being and its pocket dimension once and for all -- before the transformations of their teammates can't be undone. ✦ Size: Limited plot, opt in. Players can only volunteer (1) character. Set during "No Sanity Clause." ✦ Start Date: 1-02-17 ⟶ 1-20-17 OUT WITH THE OLDTricked into an ambush designed specifically to attract them, the Legionnaires native to the Legion's universe will wind up captured at the hands of the new Legion of Supervillains. The LOSV tells the entire world that in one hour they plan on killing the Legionnaires live on the links, hoping to break the spirit of the entire UP by taking their heroes away from them. What they're not counting on is the rookie Legionnaires, who are more than a match for the villains. Taking advantage of how the LOSV has underestimated them, the rookies must hunt down where the native Legionnaires are being kept prisoner and save them from a grisly fate, before it's too late. ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 1-27-17 ⟶ 2-10-17 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. If you have suggestions for something else to add to the lineup, or feel there's a gap that needs filling, please let us know.
