Plots...

[The Union of Tinis]

Things the last couple weeks have slowed down a little bit around here, and in the interest of curbing that trend and to increase participation, I have decided to make a post about possible plot ideas!

These ideas are easy to use plot hooks to get things started in your part of the world. Not interested in the Shimandu conflict? Then get make your own action!

Plot ideas:

Earthquake has struck your nation

Host a massive sporting event

Important leader of a minority group in your nation has passed away...or was it an assasination?

Nuclear meltdown at your nation's central nuclear reactor threatens the lives of thousands and puts millions in the dark

Spy from an unknown land (either from the federation or from somewhere else) was caught stealing state secrets

Riots start up with the cancellation of the hit TV show 'Furiends', can you keep order? Do you want to? It was a fantastic show after all... (giggles)

Uncover a bizare ruin that may give insight into the history of our continent

An cult centered around worship of UFOs starts running candidates for public office/starts appearing in major positions in the military

Unusual scandle strikes your nation's leader

Assination attempt fails to oust your nation's leader

Push to construct an international railway/subway/undersea tunnel

-----

Of course for those that require involvement with other nations to telegram them first to find out if they want to get involved and to do some basic planning. But any one who has ideas, go ahead and post them here! But most of all, get invovled!

what about specis issues? Between humans and furs, or cats and dogs? There could be all kinds of riots, political p heavals, and the like. I know not all nations are mixxed, as mine is (humans and furs live together) so this could create tesnions when one side begins to win.

Oh yeah!

More plots:

Species related riots/violence overtakes a city

Election of a member from a minority species to an important position

Species X wants to remove the rights/some rights of species Y through a legal manuver

I will run Armed Forces Week again once things have settled somewhat in Shimandu. While Shikeishuu could have handled committing sufficient troops to the exercise while still invading another territory such is the case of a nation whose military is its main employer.

Remember one can always send messages to other nations asking for their participation in your plot idea! Sometimes an otherwise good idea might be met with few responses not out of disinterest but because of the Wimbeldon Effect: others settling on the sidelines for a good read because they're either uncertain others are welcome or under the mistaken assumption their involvement wouldn't be a positive contribution.

To this effect I encourage everyone to post a brief OOC note (not mandatory) at the end of the first post in their RP thread in order to address the following questions:

- Is this thread 'open to everyone,' 'for certain nations,' or 'closed' (already enough participants or signup was held beforehand, for instance)?

- Have you any OOC goals in mind (that you're willing to explain or hint at right now)? Are you looking for help or hindrance: do you want others to join your cause, oppose it, or both?

Never forget the first rule: have fun!
