upcoming plot information and update on what mods are doing!

[616]

Hello everyone! I come to you with some casual information about our next, upcoming plot! This is going to be our first mission, so it's going to be an easy one while we throw everyone back in time for the first time. Missions will become increasingly difficult after this.
So that everyone knows, this is how things are gonna go down when we go on missions, here in the beginning:

✒ Time-travel in game will not be linear! Missions that characters are sent back on won't necessarily be in chronological order. One mission they may be in the Middle East fighting France during WWII, and in the next one they might be chilling in the Spanish-American War.
✒ Everyone in-game is going to be given era-appropriate clothing by the Initiative and sent back in time to perform a specific thing or complete a specific mission.
✒ Every character will be on this mission for 3 weeks in-game time as the mission is accomplished, essentially.
✒ An NPC (initiatesnpc), who will have their own backstory and icon (so you'll know which NPC you're interacting with when you're playing with that account) will be orchestrating the mission and will be your go-to "Major General" essentially!
✒ This means that for 3 weeks, the entire game is going to be in that era in time, on that mission!
✒ Players who are accepted during missions will be partnered up with an existing player in-game, who can help them fight and learn the ropes. (They're accepted in, they get the spiel from the lady in the Initiative Hold, and then she tosses them back in time where they interact with the Major General and get paired up!)
✒ There will be probably about TWO logs that go up for different events during the mission, but there may be more. With that in mind, network posts are also available to be made during missions! (Characters will have their netbooks on them while they are on their missions!)

NOW that that quick little missions-explanation run-down is … well, run-down, this is going to be our first mission: [ This is slated to begin in the beginning of April (2nd or 3rd), once I'm back from hiatus. ]

MESOPOTAMIA. Characters will be sent to Assyria, where they will be protecting an Assyrian town from the Romans coming in to take control of it. For the purpose of this first mission, they're going to be limited to protecting this town, but of course are free to explore Mesopotamia to their delight but.. they better come back. :|a;;

Obviously there will be plenty more details when the event is about to start, but I wanted to give you guys a chance to ask questions and give your feedback, ideas and input to us now, so we'll have it for the weeks to come while we're setting everything up!

As always, we welcome all of your ideas and input and questions and concerns and -- everything!! Hopefully this gives you guys a good idea of what's going on. :D

Thanks everyone!
