Mod plot post is long, motherfucker. COOKIES FOR ALL THAT READ IT!

[Nov. 16th, 2008|03:31 pm]

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP! I think you’re sleeping! It is time for Choke On Your Plot Sunday here at the MAIMED project, so allow me to get in your area and write my typically tl;dr posts! ARE YOU EXCITED? I HOPE YOU’RE EXCITED, CLEVELAND. (Or wherever you are; I’m not picky.)

First things first: I’m in your game, giving you gamewide plot. As you may or may not have astutely noticed, there’s been a sneaky little newscast with one of my Photoshopped C83 “screencaps” again, and it’s about those persnickety “brownouts.” Wait – brownouts? Weren’t we talking blackouts earlier? Well, yes. And, in fact, there’s been rolling blackouts in the slums for what’s going on four months now. Basically, the Arab countries were all, “WE HAVE NO MORE OIL, YOU IDIOTS!” and Shusai was all, “LIES! WE ARE IN DENIAL ABOUT BEING TAPPED OUT OF THE PETROL!” and the Arab countries were all like, “NO SERIOUSLY, IDIOT, WE ARE FUCKING OUT. SO IS EVERYONE ELSE. OPEC IS NO MORE.” So, we’re talking potential international crisis if the scientists don’t get onto certain energy issues, but in the meanwhile, we have the news telling the rich that oh, sob, we must ~endure~ the horrible mantle of brownouts until all is clear and those bastard slummers stop hoarding our energy! Feel free to have people on all sides of the aisle get cranky about this, of course, because it is one of those No Win Situations. Of course, this will be an ongoing plot, so feel free to tie stuff into this – certainly watch this space to see certain things that the government will be doing RE: this plot in the meanwhile. But, of course, we have a few more specific plots coming up, SO TO THE CUT TAGS FOR THAT:

( PROJECTS? HAVING A PLOT? NO FUCKING SHIT, BRO, THEY ARE! )

( AND NOW REVOLUTION PLOT, PART II: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO. )

Okay, that should be it! Also, still checking the OYL plot for your activity stuff; I’ve seen some people post but not have their OYL stuff posted to the entry, so I’m going to let it slide for another week. After all, I crazy dropped the ball, so it would be crazy hypocritical for me to hold you to that standard. That and, well, I’m the laxest motherfucker when it comes to cleaning stuff out. It’s true. ANYWAY, COOKIES FOR YOU READING THIS, ILY ALL, ETC.!

HAY PEOPLE HAY, how was your ~~summer~~ month-long break from MAIMEDlandia? Super, I hope! I’m beyond stoked to see that people have been posting through the weekend, of course; it warms the shriveled little black cockles of my heart with glee and other emotions that shouldn’t be talked about in front of family audiences. Yet, I’ve been hearing some questions (shocking, I know!) about a few things, so here is your Friendly Neighborhood Allison to clear up some stuff.

( FIRST PLOT, REVO-STYLE: How We're Getting Back Together )

We’ll have civilian and Project plot in the works soon – actually, all Project players should e-mail spicychorizo@gmail.com ASAP so I can start talking to you guys about some ideas! We’re seriously going to be kicking stuff into gear, and not just with namby pamby stuff like “kidnappings,” boys. We’re talking big guns.

Also, I’d just like to take this time to say that for this month’s activity check, we are going to grade it as such: comment in The One Year Later Plot entry with a link to those awesome One Year Later summaries that you’ve been doing on the CDJs! If you don't do this bynext Monday, 10 November, your character might just go bye-bye by accident! Also, it is highly encouraged that you post general plots in the entry itself! Although links to CDJs are awesome and all, not everybody is friended to everybody else, especially given that we may have the luck of new blood within our ranks very soon! Also, you shouldn't feel limited to just what your character did; if you haveideas about gamewide plots or group plots, please please leave messages there too!

[Oct. 29th, 2008|05:34 pm]

HEY GUYS. I'm retarded and should have put this up on like, Monday, so I hope everyone sees it, but IT IS TIME TO OFFICIALLY POST YOUR ONE YEAR LATER PLOTS. Just go ahead and say what happens to each of your current characters -- any intros can come later!

For anyone who didn't get the game-wide email:

Contrary to Allison's earlier post, The MAIMED Project will actually not be closing/intermissioning! Maimed is, however, getting a facelift. What do we mean by this? Basically, we're doing as much as possible to revamp the game and get people re-interested in it. What we (the mods) need from you is simple enough:

( What we need from you! )

Within the near future, some changes are going into action as well!

( What's coming up! )

We hope no one is inconvenienced by the sudden change in plans. All of us kind of jumped the gun on things, and we're really sorry. There was some confusion and we other three mods hope Allison gets all nice and healthy and sexay on her RP vacation. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email or IM our way. Thanks!

- Ali, Rhia, and Shay

[Oct. 3rd, 2008|08:10 pm]

Okay, so most of you have heard this from my journal, but should you not have, here is the official news: The MAIMED Project is taking a break.

Anyway, to spare those who have read and would hardly benefit from reading it again (ugh!), I will be as frank as frank can be: we as a group are somewhat stuck and busy right now, and I am not at a place in my life where I can really devote myself to much of anything that deals with my providing services to a community, which includes trying to lead group out of said sticky wickets. So, we’re entering intermission time. What does this mean? Well, first of all, we’re going to end the plots we have – track and field and all. We will enter “intermission period” on 31 October, after which all entries will be frozen until 1 March, when we open up the doors for active posts again. On 31 October, there will be a message from DJ Ei that will lay the basic foundation for our opening plot next year:the Revolution is dissolving. (More on why later in the month! OOOO!) In the down-time that will ensue, there will be a community made immediately after the 31st that will enable you to RP events that occur. The IC date for the opening will be 1 March 2076 – four months to the dissolution. (I know, a shorter period, but we shall live with ourselves! Endure! Etcetera!) On that ~auspicious opening~, the Revolution reconvenes, not only to mourn the loss of a loved one within their ranks, but to discuss the rumor that many of the Projects have been entering puberty at an advanced rate – with dubious results. Depending on our player base at this time, this might mean a few interesting casualties on the Project side of things, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Point being: this is the carrot I’m offering. Hopefully, it’ll be a good old-fashioned kick in the pants for the entire game!

While we’re gone, I won’t necessarily be loafing around, for among other things, MAIMED is also in need of a facelift. For example, if Gena is not to be around, then I can’t necessarily trust her to save the wiki on her domain, so moving all that information is one project I will be doing little bit by little bit. There's a shitload of other boring stuff I have to do, but I'll also be thinking of other cool things, like a feasible plot prompt system for you to be excited about come next year! I know that a lot of games do tend to never come back from hiatus, and should the player base be in a different place in time by March, then I’ll concede that our memories here were best left before the game degenerated into a place with bad connotations in our hearts. But if you guys are still ready to play by March 2009(or January or Feburary, since I am open to reconvening at an earlier time!) , then I’ll be ready, too – with memes, even, to encourage you to get back into the playing spirit. If you haven’t friended my CDJ, it’s

sandinista, and I’ll be piping up every once in a while about things that I’ve been doing to insure that the game comes back stronger than ever, so feel free to friend in order to get updates of the MAIMED variety, or other stuff too. :)

I cannot say this enough: I apologize for taking the selfish way out on this, but at the moment, I’m hardly doing anyone good by persisting in trying to force the game in a direction when I am physically and emotionally incapable of coping with stress as minor as moderating a roleplaying game on the Internet. I won’t go into the salacious details, but what is important for everyone is that I am doing this with the intent of making The MAIMED Project stronger and better in the long run. Please don’t hesitate to give feedback on this entry, even if it is “How dare you even try to consider this!” Everybody’s opinion counts on this, because it’s been said over and over again: this is the Communist bloc of RPG. This isn’t my game, this isn’t Gena’s game – it’s our game, and I think we all need a healthy break to consider other projects (such as, say,

crossovermods?), stretch our legs, and maybe get some refreshments before the second act. I thank you for at least humoring me on this, and if you don’t wish to come back come the early months of 2009, I thank you for playing with the ensemble when you did.

( SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK OF 14 SEPTEMBER )

( SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK OF 21 SEPTEMBER )

Apologies for the most tl;dr post on record. (OR: Hi, condensing a month of info into one post.)

[Sep. 27th, 2008|05:02 pm]

AGH, this is the sort of post that I should’ve had the sense to post ages ago, but the past few weeks have been crazy for everyone, no? Anyway, so I’ve been brainstorming with my classy Mod Lady Team, and we finally have a general play-by-play for how the World Track and Field Championships are going to go! Again, apologies for the delay, but what is a girl to do with chronic narcolepsy that starts around 10:00 PM other than, well, fall asleep? Not much other than homework, let me tell you.

( TIMELINE OF EVENTS FOR PLOT! )

AGH i was going to wait until i re-keyworded all my icons, but i am about to fall asleep.

[Sep. 25th, 2008|07:24 pm]

OKAY, so this is a short one so I don't spam too much: HI! You may not remember this lady (or you may)! It is Miss Emma Frasier, taking over in my character roster yet again while Snyder, you know, gets his drug issuez dealt with. You know how it is. Anyway, for the uninitiated or senile, I shall give you a brief lowdown on who Emma is and what she's doing currently -- since, well, that'll be helpful for anybody.

Emma Frasier is easily explained as the Second Coming of Nancy Drew. Prior to her brief departure from jCherrilandia, Emma was the illustrious -- and oft painfully ditzy -- secretary of one Nero Lawson. Readily smiling at anything and as ready to help you as a small, over-eager puppy dog, Emma was a pretty sweet assistant if you didn't mind someone micromanaging your life, dietary needs, and insistence that you should have those pants hemmed right now! But a few months into her tenure as caretaker of her mentally infirm mother has started to chip away at the entire ":D!!!!" mentality, mostly because as with any situation wherein the child becomes the parent, it is not nearly as rewarding and effortless as Emma thought it to be. (Not that she didn't know it was going to be hard, but... well, okay, enough psychobabble in an OOC entry; if you want to know, you can has asking me!) At any rate, she's started to get a little bored and a little nosy, but no deduction from Nancy Drew quite yet -- just a lot of being a homebody.

Anyway, POINT BEING that in case you haven't heard of Emma, now you have! Also, if you want plot with the new, slightly geared for less italics and more substantial thoughts Emma Frasier, please drop a line! OR DON'T, THAT IS COOL TOO; just didn't want you to think that I was breaking my own rules. And now I am going to probably fall into a puddle of apwoeifjaweofijawfoeij so bbl.

MOD POST HAY

[Sep. 25th, 2008|03:03 pm]

HEY DUDES. Allison here (with a handy-dandy new icon that plainly points to who I am!) with a very, very baby mod announcement, since geez, I am all about the announcements:

So, imagine the following: you’re hanging out one day, chillaxing and relaxing, when suddenly, a MAIMED question comes to mind! But lo! Usually, you ask Allison, right? But sometimes, she just doesn’t know! So, we as a moderator team have decided to split up questions about the different factions within our little group! Naturally, if you have any questions that don’t fall into these categories, just feel free to ping me away and I’ll answer – or, hell, you can make shit up. After all, that’s the general charm. But if not, here is a list of the moderators that can answer certain questions for you:

ALI: The Watch
ALLISON: Projects, Revolution
RHIA: Projects, Syndicate
SHAY: Syndicate

Hopefully, this will better serve everybody and be generally handy!

[Sep. 23rd, 2008|05:17 pm]

Hi everybody, this is Cody with my new character Time Warp, aka Boyd Palmer. He's the creator/director of a late night show called Grave Situations that is basically like the Twilight Zone but way more campy. In his show you can find thinly veiled satire with episodes like "The Man Who Didn't Believe In Jesus" and "Communist Big Foot". Most take the show at face value and believe that he's trying to send wholesome messages by using scare tactics, but the more savvy can guess that he finds the 'horror' pretty hilarious. When asked, he plays dumb, which is something he does a little too well, and insists that the ideas for his shows come from a place of fantasy.

As Time Warp he works as Intel since his wife is a scientist for the government and he's convinced his father in law is like as evil and mad as it gets. Most rebels haven't seen him around the compound, but it's not hard to guess who he really is.

NOW TO POST IN THE ACTUAL OOC >>

[Sep. 19th, 2008|07:44 pm]

Y HELO THAR, MAIMED! My name is Cairo, and I am addicted to entertainment news. (I also play Radio (

fromtheblock) and Project D.E.L. (

pinkcorvette).) I am here introducing Two-step, a BRAND SPANKING NEW chemist and senior at the New Institute of Technology. PERSONALITY-WISE, I guess you'd have to call him a virtual mary-sue. With a prosthetic leg. His bio is posted if you, uh, want that explained a bit more. :>

PROFESSIONALLY-WISE (and it sounds awfully professional, too!) he's very good at what he does, which is...play around with drugs. His major & minor at the institute are medicinal chemistry & pharmacy, and he's got kind of a boy genius thing going on, thanks to his parents being ~important scientists~ and him having to live up to that. He really likes antibiotics in particular, but his first order of business will prooooobs be with making birth control safer & more accessible. BECAUSE HE CARES.

so! if you are a) a college student, b) in the revo, particularly as a CHEMIST or a MEDIC, or c) in need of drug therapy in any way, YOU WILL PROBS HAVE PLOT WITH TWO-STEP. But plz read his bio because this intro sucks. srsly, srsly.

♥, cairo

OH HAI BBS~ IT IS ALI~

I have two characters to introduce to you. O_O

1)

seemerollin would be known to you rebels as Cabbage Patch, and she's in Alias Development. She's... well... pretty much an attention whore, but she loves what she does, and is pretty good at it. Otherwise, some of you might know her from the pizza joint right next door to Comix Galore. Or, if you needed something forged for you, she and her brother run a little thing. So, yeah. She is lolarious.

2) Would be this journal, and Dr. Alex Palmer. She has a long and intricate backstory, but she's married to Time Warp (who will be introduced at some point), and does work on SUPERSEKRIT MEDICINES AND SCIENCES for Shusai. ~~LOL O HAI PROJECTS~~. She's essentially is on the morbid side, and tells people she's a phlebotomist. She and her other half have just gotten back from their honeymoon, so expect the worst out of them for a bit. :P

Yeah, so... idk idk, if you want to plot, hit me up... otherwise I will hit you up. O_O

OHOHOHOHO, ALLISON? PLOT POST? YES, YET AGAIN!

[Sep. 17th, 2008|02:59 pm]

Hey, bros and hos! Allison here, with a small OOC plot update for everybody to be paired with the ever-classy DJ Ei post. Mostly -- okay, so say that your classy dame/dude says, "YES, DJ EI, I WOULD LIKE TO HELP!" But, of course, your character might be wondering how, right? That's where this handy list comes in! Attached to the message that the illustrious Deejay sent out is the following list (albeit not necessarily in the same formatting) of the various jobs that are available to the general public that would, in fact, be advantageous to the current mission of possibly snatching some Ami and/or slipping some important information to the foreign powers.

( I'M IN UR AREA, GIVIN UR CHARACTERZ OPTIONZ )

Okay, so that being said: if you want your Revo character to be involved in ~THE NEXT BIG PLOT~, just ping down here with the job they're going to try to obtain. If there's something else you think might be useful that I haven't thought of, please chime in with a potential job for your character to do! We'll have more things to spurn on other factions of our game for this particular plot as we go down the line, but as the slow trickle of employment is going to have to be something we start with first, I figured we'd get that right off the bat. Of course, feel free to direct any questions to me or the rest of the modlandia team: maimed.mods@gmail.com is 99% the best place for that to go, if not in this handy dandy entry!

OHOHO~ (This is why I should never do this.)

So, hello all you lovely people. I have made an executive decision to post this. Which meant I woke up this morning and was all "LOL! I NEED TO DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE TODAY!"

I would like to introduce you to DAS NEW CO-MODS. :D We have the always-lovely Shay, the ever-so-hot Rhia, and that loser Ali.

What does that mean for you? Well, we're going to be doing, you know, modly things~ To take the pressure off of Allison. So, if you need to, please come to us with any questions you have, any concerns that might be bothering you... you know... things like that. We're going to do our best to keep things running smoothly, and of course, help YOU out with whatever it is that you need ~~like the way I helped myself to your mom last night~~ ~~... I tried to get through a whole post without doing it. It won't work. :/ Not now. Not ever.~~

Aaaand, that's all I really have to say. I'm sure the others will pipe in and be like all omg official and all that, but this is good enough for the time being.

( SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK OF 7 SEPTEMBER )

yay birthday!

[Sep. 10th, 2008|05:15 pm]

Lalala quick note! The following were left in Jive's room for him:

*two bottles of alcohol
*a cookie cake
*and, wrapped, a waffle cake machine

I'm not entirely sure what that last one DOES, but it sounds amazing? I think it just makes a particularly large and deep waffle. Hmm.

The end!

Some hiatuser I am, but v. important nonetheless.

[Sep. 9th, 2008|03:59 pm]

Was going to wait until end of the month for this (with fancier words, even), but news of impending employment means I need to pose this now: I am going to be in need of two co-co-moderators or however this is going until further notice. I would greatly appreciate if any and all interested parties e-mail me about this as soon as possible. Take note: this isn't going to be a request for assistance on one task but actual moderator duties, so please keep in mind time tables and the like when sending me a message. Thanks in advance and all that.

Mod needs a bb pseudo hiatus.

[Sep. 9th, 2008|11:56 am]

Just as a heads-up, everyone: I'm going to be RP-hiatusing until next Monday. I'll be doing mod duties, and I'll be forwarding any existing plot stuff that I've committed myself to as of right now this week, but otherwise, I'm going to be working on my Big Deal Studio Project for my Big Deal Critique in my Big Deal Studio Class. (I know, I know; you're probably sick of hearing about it by now, if I've talked to you about it.) Anyway, e-mail will be the best way to get a hold of me, especially if you're only on in the evenings, so repeat after me: spicychorizo @ gmail.com. If I don't answer immediately or even within 12 hours, don't get too nervous or anything, but I figure that the world will not end if I take a little time to focus on my first impression to the rest of my art school peers and all that. So, don't get too rambunctious, guys! :']

TOOT TOOT! It's time for an ACTIVITY CHECK!

[Sep. 8th, 2008|04:10 pm]

Hey guys, time for that activity check I promised! (Ho ho ho!) Now, keep in mind that there are a lot of people on this list that have just gotten off of hiatuses, so if you see your journal on here, don't worry! I'm putting you on here so you're aware (which, okay, you probs. are) that you have characters at large. For those who haven't been with us for an activity check before or might forget, I will also remind you that these checks are only based on journal entry activity; they do not include commenting or threads in the RPG community. As such, if your character has been active in such things, please e-mail/IM/comment in this journal with a message to this point. Likewise, if you have a lot of characters on this list and you don't feel that you can update them within the week required or there are characters on here that you want to get rid of or you're not interested in the game anymore, do the same thing.

Just so you lot won't forget: final removals will be done in a week, on Monday, 15 September.

HELLO ALL ♥. It’s Rhia with my second character, Jamie Rowe, AKA Falsetto! I know I have some pre-established plot with some of you, but if you would be so good as to remind me what it is, I would be vair grateful. Anyway, onto the goods:

He’s a Domestic Technician, and he works at Table of Contents. He’s in Blitzkrieg as their keyboardist, and is known under the alias of Sid Vicious for all Blitzkrieg affairs. And I keep on typing Blitzkrieg as Blitzkrief so I must be tired. Therefore, forgive me if this intro is at all disjointed. Anyway, he resides in the Opera House because they need delicious cakes too, okay. He flirts with just about anything that walks on two legs, regardless of gender, though he really is heterosexual. He did experiment with someone once, though. ANYWAY.

His dad gambled away all of his family’s money right before Falsetto’s thirteenth birthday, and caused them to lose their house. He and his little sisters (twins!) were raised from then on by their newly single mother. Understandably, Falsetto grew up to be a pretty angry teenager. But he’s a really nice guy now, thanks to being in the Revolution, time, and baking. Yes, baking. It’s his passion, dudes. He can be sort of self-centered, but when he knows that someone is in trouble or upset, he’ll do what he can to cheer them up. He’s sort of making up for five years of being a delinquent.

But, yes, that is Falsetto is a nutshell. If you want moar, direct your attentions right here. And give me plotz, delicious plotz. :>
