PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER — ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

THE FACTION’S PLOT WILL COVER a wide array of topics and objectives. listed below will be a short synopsis of ooc information with reference to progress made. these plots are based off the company’s goals, character ambitions, and in-character developments. the hope is that putting all this information in one place will help with tracking relevant threads and help stimulate plotting and thread ideas.
[break][break][break]


listed below will be a series of prompts modeled after excursions during the STEWARDS OF SPRINGTIME event cycle. however, these prompts will be managed by members and therefore function differently. to ensure a smooth transition, here are a few guidelines to assist players.
[break][break][break]

unlike staff ran excursions, these will not be completed within a single thread. instead, details and prompts will be listed that players can tackle through several threads, creating an overarching narrative over time. as these plot lines are developed, additional details may be added based off thread results.
[break][break][break]

since these excursions will revolve around legendary pokemon and other high impact subjects, players should approach a ‘less is more’ approach. creating canon information should be kept to a minimum to allow flexibility. please consult staff prior to establishing lore that affects other players.
[break][break][break]

these threads should not require staff to overlook them. they are to be treated like any other social thread. these excursions exist as plotting tools to give our characters a common objective and fun thread prompts.
[break][break][break]

many of these threads will involve research. it is okay for your character to make conjectures that end up false. having to discern between contradictory information adds weight to the world. use this for character growth and to make our successes that much more impactful.
[break][break][break]

when unsure about certain subject matters, please ask. communication is key to a collaborative hobby!
