So we really need to get this place moving again!!! I have a couple ideas but I can't do them all by myself, or even with just me, myself and I ;D So I WANT and NEED your help, and I do mean YOU, EVERYONE!!!!
I have 2 plotlines in mind that will respark our big baddie again. (What we have a big bad you say?) Why yes my poor newling child, come listen to your old auntie Bri.
Our 'Big Bad' as a powerful outkingdom mage. Here's what we 'know' about this mage.
It's a man.
He was behind a child slaver ring in Haven, particualarly targeted were Gifted children.
He drained several children's Gifts and had physical control of the Empath Shade for several months before she was rescued by a group from Haven. (Most of these children, non-Gifted, Gifted burnout and still Gifted, are still adoptable, though several years older now)
He sent an underling mage to start carving chunks of territory out of Valdemar, beginning in the Sorrows area, this minor baddie mage and his magic controlled army was defeated.
It is presumed that the most recent trouble, in the form af an assassin that eluded capture for over a year, was also sent by this big bad, but he killed himself before he could be questioned.
Now we've had a bit over an IC year of relative peace and quiet, Heralds are still being killed, though not as frequently, but new Chosen are not being Chosen in sufficient numbers to follow the 'usual' pattern of a sudden influx before the country is threatened.
So on to my two plot ideas, I'd like to play both of these out though not at the same time. But possibly a teensy bit of overlapping or foreshadowing one from the other.
A- A high rank official has been corrupted in some fashion and begins to make trouble. This can take several forms and could involve a lot of mini-plots.
B- Some form of travelling group arrives in Haven with that intention of planting a 'bomb' of some sort, this may or may not be in the tranditional form of explosion.
Both plots would require a bunch of NPC's all of whom could be created by any member (old or newbie) with no bio or approval required (within reason) with the understanding that they are plot fodder NPC's and unlikely to outlive the plot. Should you become terribly attached to such an NPC you would have the option of making them a full PC with appropirate bio that would have to go through the approval process.
(So where does the prize you said you had come in?) Oh ye of little faith.
As you folks may have noticed... I'm trying to run this place all by myself right now. Sadly we lost two of our Mods entirely over the last couple years and Jami is in uber-wedding mode and unlikely to return to full Mod-dom anytime soon (like months or more). So I'm looking for 2-3 folks to help me run this place. I don't have as much time to devote as I'd like, and even when I do it's just not that easy to run all alone.
(Ooo ooo pick me pick me!) I'd love to! But what should I judge this on, how shall I choose? Well I'm not going to tell you All I can say is 'impress me'. Which could be done in several ways, but activity and plotiness is always a bonus Oh and do speak up here if you'd like to be considered, I don't want to waste anyone's time who doesn't have the time or want the position.
Soooooo... thoughts? feedback? Bueller???
