Global Plot Request

I am formally requesting all those who are interested in suggesting
Global Plot ideas for muck to put in their ideas out to the entire
muck. What does this mean? Well first off I would love the active
participation in our players to work with the wizstaff to develop the
next set of Global Plots.

I am sure by now some of you are asking, "What
exactly is a GP or Global Plot?" That part is quite simple. A global
plot is simply a main plot or idea that the muck is steering towards to
get minds stimulated in the same direction. For example the original
base GP for the muck's was to develop from the ROTV storyline. Think o
a global plot as a narration to the setting or scene of a TP. TP or Tiny
Plots are normally player or multi player driven that effects either a
few players characters or potentially form into a GP for the entire
muck. One of our more current GP's was the introduction of the NMC or
NIMH Mice Colony.

While we wizzes generally try to generate RP based on the ideas of a GP
set forth, we would like to see more progressive RP forming to a greater
idea on the muck. It has been brought to my attention that there has
been a lot of stale free form RP's that players have been a bit
disappointed in. When the news reached me I was rather disappointed on
two fronts. The first front was that the creativity of the muck was
decreasing in interesting RP, and the second front, our RP Wizards were
not able to generate any stimulating RP from the well run GP that has
been working for quite some time.

So how do we get the ball rolling on this? Simple! Just reply to this
topic suggesting your ideas, give feedback to those who have
submitted and start forming ideas collectively as a group to what you
like and dislike. After a period of time has passed we will push those
formed ideas once they have matured, to the wizstaff and see what we can
do about pushing it to an official updated global plot. However as a
side note based on previous reactions, no, I repeat no, this does not
crush, undo or anything of the such of past TP's or GP's. This is
simply a forum of conversation that will allow the players and the staff
to get an idea of where we want the muck plot to head next.

Thanks for your patience and get those suggestions in!

Jeff

Re: Global Plot Request

I've been trying to keep the expedition rp going, I think that the story behind it and what could result would be a good idea for a global plot.

Re: Global Plot Request

Great start! Why don't you give an example of what your currently doing and how it will impact the muck as a whole. I'm not sure everyone that reads this site has an understanding about the expedition rp that is currently going on.

Re: Global Plot Request

I will save my sanity and keeps as far from this as possible.
But on a closing note Helios, I'm not quite sure the expedition is quite big enough to count as a global plot, but that's just me.

Re: Global Plot Request

I would hope you would want to give as much input to the muck as you feel you want to contribute. At this point the discussion is open to anyone's ideas. The expedition rp can be also a foundation of the GP as people discuss the direction we want to take the muck. However to do so we need more people openly discussing this, otherwise it will be left up to just the wizstaff, and we would prefer the player base to assist in the decision.

Re: Global Plot Request

Alright. Should I ever come up with any good ideas, I'll bring them up. If I come up with any of my bad ideas...I'll still post them to make a post.

For the record, I've got another char on the farm area. He is a mouse called Sirius. He was a childhood friend of the Brisby kids. Sadly, an attack from Dragon left him with a split personality. His alter ego is totally insane (don't think Evil Martin), and can come out at any time.

Re: Global Plot Request

*thinks of the evil martin song and grins* Sweet! I have been packed lately with work and school but I have been trying to at least stop by on the muck and ensure my wiz duties are complete and see how players are doing. I will try to catch you and see about rping with this said character :)

Re: Global Plot Request

Really? Cool. I've got another week and two days left of school, but after that I should be able to stay online as long as I can stay awake.

Re: Global Plot Request

hey jeff i have an idea but before i post it i would like to talk to you personally remind me later kay you should know my alts

Re: Global Plot Request

Not a problem I will make an attempt tonight to contact you, however I am doing some home decorating tonight so I may have to wait till this weekend.

Re: Global Plot Request

Hey folks. I'm sorry this reply comes late. I've been apartment hunting for weeks and tonight I will be gearing up for the big move tomorrow. I got some time so I'll squeaze in a comment.

The expedition rp I feel is a great foundation for something global. There's already the issues that are associated with the old Rosebush colony. And there's the issues related to Hecate and Helios' living family. These two are related. But, it doesn't stop there. I've noticed that there are many characters throughout the nimhmuck community that have a plot tie in to the Rosebush Colony. The above are some examples. So, in its self the expedition isn't big enough for a gp though it makes a wonderful tiny plot however I feel that it is a wonderful launchpad for a global plot.

Now for the next point, how will it effect the muck? That I haven't gotten around to thinking about yet. Also that's not something I can do alone. This is a global plot idea and as such it isn't my position to dictate but something that requires input from the community. So, ideas and suggestions are incouraged and appreciated, no matter what may be thought of them.

Thanks folks. I'll be around again soon to follow up on this. :3

Re: Global Plot Request

Oh, I forgot to say: All roll plays associated with the Rosebush Expedition Rp can be found here on this forum. They are the ones in my blogs with titles having to do with "Rosebush Expedition."

Re: Global Plot Request

There's a subplot involving Zohar that involves two events which I came up with a few months ago.

Zohar is said to be Nicodemus' son, and a few colonists know that. (Justin, Isabella, Bradbury, Mrs. Brisby, Joseph.) However, there's been no definitive proof of it aside from his looks.

1. There is an incident with the Stone I've had in mind. Whereas Nicodemus and Mrs. Brisby can touch it, go near it--Zohar can't. It would also prove he is who he is, but it would also hurt him to be near it.

2. There is another event dealing with Nicodemus' old living quarters in the Rosebush. Zohar is supposed to eventually end up in them and find something Nicodemus left behind.

3. There's also Raganzi's plotline which was overridden by Oren. My character, Aleph, is currently allied with Oren but has been also discussed as being one of Raganzi's contacts. He'll live through the Oren scenario to be available for Raganzi.

4. Being that three of the Alchera have turned up alive (That's right, three: Aleph, Binabi, and Gera [aka Shemeber]) it is likely to create a concern for Justin. Justin has expressed he wanted Zohar to tell the Council about the Alchera due to the fact the one who tortured them apparently knew Nicodemus.

Re: Global Plot Request

Well I'm sure a Rosebush global plot will make everyone happy. Especially since it will give me all the more reason to keep out of it.

Re: Global Plot Request

Everytime you open your mouth its something depressing or negative. What is the deal, Cedric? It gets old after a while; I've remained silent on that for too long. Its also annoying other people.

Re: Global Plot Request

It's all about my previous life. Rejected by the general public most all of my life. Very hard to explain.

Re: Global Plot Request

I honestly can't think of much in terms of global plot. The only idea i ever came up with that i thought had merit was having an rp involving NIMH, in and of itself. I'm not much for villians or politics. I did like the idea sometime back of maybe the threat of a flood or something in Thorn Valley.

Re: Global Plot Request

Well we have a good start to ideas from what each of us has been doing for our own TP's. Now that a few ideas are on the table it will be time to start merging them with other global ideas or concept to form a draft of a GP that will suit everyone along with the continuing story of the muck.

When i get a little more time I will formulate some of the key factors involved in merging and forming a GP and hopefully more will have input to the talks, even you wizzes out there.

Till then,

Jeff

Re: Global Plot Request

Come on SOMEBODY has to have more input?!

Re: Global Plot Request

I don't know why I bother to do this but *puts a gun to his head*
I'll see what I can think up. Crappy ideas are better than none...uh, right?

Hold the phone, I think I remember hearing some rumors that NIMH was going to be made as an IC place. Why not do something to do with that?

Re: Global Plot Request

Yes NIMH technically already exists back from a long expedition rp a couple years back. With that, there is potential of opening up more ideas to that direction but I would be very keen on seeing what the intent of some characters being there. I don't want to start up a genetic mayhem on the muck.

Re: Global Plot Request

I have an idea, but I'll have to tell it to you in person on the Muck.

Re: Global Plot Request

Hey, you asked for ideas. You never specified that they had to be good ones, otherwise I wouldn't have posted.
But I agree on the general lack of a reason to go there.

Re: Global Plot Request

well i would like to see the villians merge or maybe a direct attack on the colony from within or something. maybe we could talk about it eh jeff

Re: Global Plot Request

I don't have too may ideas but this is my idea, ICly pretty much everyone knows Jacob's building a glider. I don't know if these ideas would help much but Cedric and I are still moving forward with our R/C Plane RP idea which would involve both Thorn Valley and the NMC. Just my 2 cents if it helps any.

Re: Global Plot Request

I was kind of afraid to mention that. I didn't want to cause everyone trouble and drag myself into a GP.
