Add/Remove and Mission things

[lucetimods]

Okay, first of all, here is the much overdue friend add/remove. This includes just the new ones, but you should probably head over here and run through them all, because you may have missed a few on the move over. So here's your list, knock yourself out!

Okay, moving on, this is stuff about missions, both in general and the unique ones. So bear with me for a bit.



Okay, for our unique mission, I threw the people who volunteered for the positions (seen here) and used a random number generator to select them. Those who volunteered for multiple positions, they were picked for the first position they listed. So here is who will be going:

Field Leader: Luke Skywalker thefinaljedi
Doctor: Mizuno Ami geniustheveil
Stealth: Sheena corrinesbell, Gambit kineticcajun, Chien dogboy, Leonardo fearless_leader

Now this is our first time doing this, so things might be a little rough. In future missions, we'll try and work out the kinks as best we can. But let me give a little overview for how things will go here:

Tomorrow, the above characters will receive a message from the Malnosso notifying them that they have been selected for the Third Party Observation mission. The day after that, they will depart through the teleporter in the tunnels at 9AM. (This is how regular missions work, by the way.) Although I say there will be a Malnosso message, this is actually just assumed. They will simply see in their journal what their assignment is and where they need to be within 24 hours.

On the day of the mission (that's the 5th), I'll put up a log for these six characters to interact in. The log itself will open with more IC details about the mission, as much as should be needed for you guys to handle it. Everything else is on you, the players. While you can ask questions about things, this is going to be handled like the drafts, so you should be playing out everything else on your own! That means using the Third Party as NPCs and working out in your own mind what the layout is going to be, how the characters will strategize, and so on.

Treat this log as you would any other mass-interaction log! We do not expect you to have a six-way thread in that log. You can tag one-on-one (or with three people or whatever) as any point during the mission. Whether it's just simple chatting back at base camp, working together to eavesdrop on the enemy, or dealing with injuries, or what have you. This is a lot like the drafts in that sense.

If you think this sounds cool, there's another unique mission available. In the future, there will be more as well, so don't worry if your character doesn't seem appropriate for the ones so far. For the sake of fairness, players won't be able to send their characters on a mission twice in a row. You can still sign them up in advance, but if selected for one mission, they won't be considered for the following one.

Okay, moving on, I know a lot of people don't immediately get how they're supposed to play out missions. A lot has written about it, possibly too much (or possibly not enough) and it may not be presented in the most logical manner. After all, it's a bit easier for me, since I was so involved in putting it all together. So what I would like is for people to help me out here.

If you aren't sure how something works, then go ahead and ask here. If you do know how it works, then give some suggestions on how it could be presented clearer or better. Below is a set of links that directs you to all the various information pages on the Missions.

And that's it for now!

Third Party Observation Plotting

[lucetimods]

This is for the six selected characters to go ahead and start plotting things out together.

[thefinaljedi]

Any other things we'd like to plot out? Or just wing it the whole way though?
