COLLECTIVE OBJECTIVES

exposition


GATHERED INTEL HAS SUGGESTED that the tree is a source of incredible energy. despite the bone-white of the tree, the plant seems to emanate a restorative aura and is able to provide heightened vigor to those near it. performers have chalked it up to stage anxiety and adrenaline, but there is reason to believe there is more to this phenomenon than the electricity of taking center stage.[break][break]

it is your job, both rocket and league, to infiltrate the "underworld" of the theatre and recover more intelligence about this tree. the tree's roots dig deep down into the building's lower dressing rooms and underneath the stage itself. use the ongoing contest as cover— and use any means necessary to unearth the tree's secrets.
[break][break][break]

further details


TO PREVENT OVERCROWDING, the pokemon contest organizers are enforcing a strict limitation of three pokemon on a person at any given time.[break][break][break]

furthermore, this event will begin with your respective parties in the lower floors of the theatre. depending on the number of sign ups, there is a possibility for the thread to be split— but i do not anticipate this will be the case.[break][break][break]

this event will feature mod posts to summarize actions (to an extent) and to provide outcomes for actions. the ROLL command will be used as well, so if you have SALAC BERRIES this is a good time to use them as well. furthermore, this event is indeed, DEATH-ENABLED— but your pokemon are more at risk than your actual characters. there will be no auto-kills or unfair deliberations.[break][break][break]

estimated start & end date


this event is still being planned and is scheduled for some time next week.[break][break]
this event will run until the end of the month (possibly longer, depending on worldly circumstances).[break][break][break]


OBJECTIVES


IN ORDER TO CLAIM COMPLETE REWARDS FOR YOUR FACTION, and to facilitate plot moments within the event thread, your respective groups will have objectives to fulfill collectively. for example, if your rocket character becomes captured, that objective is fulfilled for the entire group.[break][break]

more objectives may be added/these objectives are subject to change.[break][break]

league


  • ic objective: extract a biosample of bark from the tree; protect the tree. ☐
  • sub: have three league-affiliated pokemon die by rocket hands. ☐
  • sub: be captured, injured, or killed by a rocket character. ☐
  • sub: heal/defend a teammate against a rocket's attack (pkmn or human). ☐
  • sub: every character must reference every teammate at least once throughout the thread. ☐
[break][break][break]

rocket


  • ic objective: poison or destroy the tree at all costs. ☐
  • sub: have three rocket-affiliated pokemon faint/die by league hands. ☐
  • sub: be captured, injured, or killed by a league character. ☐
  • sub: heal/defend a teammate against a league's attack (pkmn or human). ☐
  • sub: every character must reference every teammate at least once throughout the thread. ☐
[break][break][break]


you may have noticed that the sub-objectives are not always favourable for their respective factions. that is on purpose. in order to encourage failures, while giving each faction moments to shine.[break][break]

SIGN UP


TO SIGN UP, please use the following code and post in this thread before MAY 11TH, 12AM PST.[break][break]

[/blockquote]
[break][break]

you can only bring one character to this event. furthermore, the three pokemon you sign-up with will be locked in once the event starts. feel free to make edits until the event begins. however, please do not try "meta-game" other players. remember, this site is statless after all![break][break]

lastly, be aware that your character can not be in both "root of the matter" and the pokemon contest. furthermore, if you decide to participate in both, please note the level of commitment you may be putting yourself into. choose wisely.
