PLOT SIGN-UPS: UEAI INVESTIGATORING

[initiates]

WELCOME TO UEAI INVESTIGATION.



Per this post, the chance to go on missions to start filling in the timeline gaps relating to the UE – the UEAI in particular – is now available. There are a number of locales you can select from and some information to use as prompts for your excursion – but please note, this IS NOT information the characters know beforehand! These time jumps are pretty blind ouside of date/location, so characters won’t know exactly what they’re getting into until they’re there!

This is a good time to mix up and get some interesting cr combinations going, or send some already well-working teams back to work! It’s up to you how many you want to work with at once, but we ask that there be no more than eight per location, especially since these are designed to be small, more sneaky-like jobs. Of course, sometimes it’s hard to be sneaky when you wind up in the middle of a war or killer party.



Your characters will be in control of how long they stay and how they gather the information. They will be given a diamond drive with an upload of AI that can be plugged in to computers and other such compatible electronics that you may find in order for it to begin downloading and deciphering the sequence of events that follow, which opens up more potential dates to tag. So each subsequent mission is prompted by the ones before them!

Those who sign up will receive their calls to get to the Transporter icly by Blue via their ic inboxes or it can be handwaved/oocly pinged if no inbox is available. You can choose when to go icly -- from now to January 23.

A post to collect what data and inventory of what damages may have been done (are YOU a bad enough dude to punch a president?) will go up and be linked here and those signed up will be pinged of its presence. ETA: Post is up and HERE.



Here’s how it will roll:

In this post, there will be a top-level comment to confirm signed-up teams. Use the rest of this post to plan/call out for partners, share powersets or other things you think might be useful for you! Let a rep from each agreed-upon team comment in the sign-ups, and you will be given the background information of a scenario you and your team will be going on! You won’t know what it is before you sign up, and remember, your characters won’t know at all until they get there!

You will also be given a list of potential findings that you can choose to succeed or fail in obtaining. Both failures AND successes will have a role in how things cascade later on, so don’t assume flawless victories is the way to go! But don’t assume they’re NOT, either.

These sign-ups will remain open up until the actual 23rd! Because we are a game that is all about backtagging. Our only request is at that point, you have a decision for what you succeed/fail to get in advance so we can advance.





BULLET POINT SUMMARY ACTION:

• There are a number of missions available to help AI fill in the timeline
• Characters will NOT know what they’re diving into until they get there, but PLAYERS will know in advance!
• Groups should be no larger than 8
• One rep from each group should sign up in the comment (LINK)
• Characters will be contacted icly to report for their missions, but players can determine what ic date to go/how long they spend on mission
• A post to collect what successes/failures groups make will go up as things get underway

If you have any further questions, please ask in the question thread below!

THANK YOU AND GEAR UP

QUESTIONS

[initiates]

Go right here!

[controlledvariable]

Can each character only go on one mission or are they able to head off on a few?

[initiates]

For now, I want to say just the one depending on the responses. If, within a week or so, there's still opportunities/spots to be filled, we can open it up to more. Just to make sure everyone who does want to jump in on one does at first!

[thephix]

That's fair!

But that's the worst sphinx I've ever seen.

[initiates]

excuse you jealous much

[thephix]

wow how about no

no one even likes androsphinxes

[initiates]

im beautiful no matter what you say >:'(((

[speakveryclearly]

Does the character maximum of "eight per location", say, four pairs operating independently? (I'm asking this to determine whether players would be doing better to form large groups for their characters, to make sure as many locations are available as possible, or if the work required only depends on how many characters sign up, not group size. I'm also not sure how clear this question is, ahaha.)

[initiates]

Four pairs can work, yes! It may actually be more strategically feasible in some situations to narrow it down from the larger groups to smaller.

[commentboxtroll]

Will you let us know if the missions open up to allow for characters to go on more than one mission? because if there is a list of "people interested in 2 missions if that happens", I would like to be on that ping list.

[initiates]

Definitely; any changes/updates like that will get notification to go with it so everyone can stay in the loop.

[commentboxtroll]

Cool cool. Thanks!

[hornedomen]

This has probably been asked about the multiple mission questions, but what is my reading comprehension so I'll ask.

Is it possible for the same character to be in more than one group?

[initiates]

Not yet! See: Stephanie's question. If this changes, the community will be notified.
