May 2010 Plotpalooza
| Oh hey! It's May and Guilt By Association is back in business. We went on a brief hiatus because life got busy for modly types. We've worked out some of the dynamics from previous game months to allow for a more proactive player plot process. We're no longer offering extensive details to plot. Players will be given basic "Crime Scene" details and you'll be able to run with them as you see fit! Less mod work, and more creative input from players - yay! Character Boxes will remain, and will be a game tool that will reward activity for all characters. Activly engaging plots mentioned here can/will get you additional points to grow your box of things! CIVILIAN PLOT These are events and notable happenings that your character would be able to engage and/or know about. These are open to ALL players at any given time. Please note specific dates and plan accordingly. Karaoke Night - The Winged Wombat in Nation Alley continues their Karaoke events every Tuesday & Thursday night. The Karaoke Machine magically uses your "feelings" to pick the song for you to sing. Happy Hour is 3pm - 5:30pm. Karaoke starts at 6pm. The Winged Wombat is popular for having the largest selection of international beers on tap, however, they do not serve hard liquor. Priscilla Podmore Presents: Hark! A Bollywood Extravaganza Show - This month the 5 star experience restaurant; Pricilla Podmore Presents, in Euphoria Lane will be hosting her Bollywood Extravaganza! dinner show! World renowned chefs, Priscilla Podmore and Cuthbert Cresswell, will be preparing a 9 course meal for parties up to 10 people for a 2 hour magical experience complete with actors, adventure, and intrigue. Dinner times are set for 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm - Monday - Sunday. Cost is 10 galleons a person - min purchase of 4 seats required. Hogwarts Summer Begins - May 19th Students of Hogwarts are released from the walls of Hogwarts and unleashed back to their parents for their summer Holiday. Diagon Alley Art Fest - May 23rd 4:30-8:30pm. Vendors and store fronts alike embrace the wonders of local artists and craftsman. There will be more pop-up vendors than ever before in the Diagon Alley area. Each shop chooses 1-2 artists to "host" during the event and these artists are given the opportunity to sell their products and services to customers. Art ranges from painting and photography to hand crafted wands, magically herbal cosmetics, and more. This is the one time musical buskers will be organized throughout the alley for entertainment purposes. It's rumoured that a few popular wizarding musicians will be performing acustic sets throughout the day - you just have to find them. DWP INTERVIEWS The following characters have their Dark Wizard Prevention Act Interviews scheduled this month. Be sure to set your calendars then copy and paste the DWPA Report and fill out the information appropriately. For reference you can see a sample of a DWPA Report here. May 16 - [Yellow] - Leanne Pucey | Case Officers: T. Higgs & P. Clearwater LAW ENFORCEMENT PLOT Instead of individual crimes being laid out by mods from now no we're going to provide the initial crime scene that can spin off into bigger plot if the players so choose. Unlike the previous months, players will have more input on how to pursue crime plots. Players can choose to pursue and expand on the crime scenes their characters opt in for- or choose to leave it as unsolved cases. See what inspires you! Keep in mind that future crime scenes may involve a case your character previously was involved with so keep an eye out! Each crime scene will include extra credit Character Box Points. These are applied for EVERY scene that engages or expands on the crime in question. So it's possible to add these bonus points to multiple scenes and interactions. Reminder; Crime plots are also open to civilians to pursue through direct involvement or indirect (family member) involvement.
VIP LOUNGE & HOTEL PLOT Parkinson PMS: From May 21st - May 31st Eleanor Parkinson proves to be even worse to work with. She's particularly short with staff, regulars, and contractors alike. There seems to be something bothering her, but she refuses to talk about it. Some say it's a bad case of PMS. Others suspect it's because her kid sister, Pansy, has just announced her engagement to some Swedish wizard. Or maybe.... maybe she just needs a good romp in the sheets. Either way - if you interact with her she's a right pain in the ass. More so than usual. New Job Postings: Case 6420 - Wand Tester - 10 galleons a week BONUS POINTS The following section of Plotpalooza includes "plot memes" and "inspirations" that players can engage to gain "extra credit" points for their individual character boxes. These are completely optional and Bonus Points are added to every instance of the Extra Credit Scenario. Backstory Topics: Backstory topics are specific to events occurring anytime before 2010. Any events that are backdated to a few days/weeks ago do not count as backstory. 10+ Points - A scene inspired by, "First Impressions." Present Day Topics: Present Day topics are events that occur this month May 2010. 10+ Points - Hogwarts Summer Break references via witech. DISCUSSIONS CHARACTER BOXES: Character Box Scores have been updated for February activity. If you didn't post in February you did not receive activity points. If your character leveled up the box to the left will have a ↑ next to the character's name. Be sure to comment below what you'd like your Level Reward to be. Katie Bell - Skilled Reward - New Skill PLOT CLAIM/DISCUSSIONS: Feel free to claim and discuss plots listed above below. Commenting to claim specific roles is encouraged so we can add 'em to the lists! BIRTHDAYS: If you folks could help us out and comment below with your character's birthdays, we'll start incorporating those dates in the monthly plotpalooza's. HOUSE & YEAR CHART: For the sake of seeing who knows who house/year wise we've made THIS! If you notice any kinfolk your character has that would be on the list feel free to add them into the chart. Also if you notice any mistakes please let us know. NPC TRACKING: I'm going to start tracking NPC's we mention in scenes. I went back and reread some of the scenes we managed to create and realized if/when we add new friend groups we could totally pull from NPCs we utilize and throw into the fray. So if you have any NPC's you recall using that could be used again feel free to comment below! CHARACTER DROP/CLAIMS: Like I mentioned in the email if you guys want to drop or pick up characters feel free to do so! We've changed the character cap to 4 and I've lifted the "2 week wait period" for those of you who got said email. If you could let me know who you're dropping/claiming via comment below that will be helpful! WANTED CHARACTERS:: Per Kira's request we now have a Wanted Page for players to request characters and offer ideas on dynamics and character approaches for potential players! Huzzah! Q&A If you have any questions, concerns, etc comment below. |
