Alemar III Plot: Let the madness begin!
Greetings, players!
Now that a good number of plot participants have checked in over in the arrivals post and everyone has had time to bat some plotting e-mails back and forth, it's time to get things started in genuine. We know everyone has been eager to get going on the good stuff.
Shortly, a post is going to go up setting all the events in motion. This isn't another party post, it's just there for establishing what's happening IC for your characters to react to. Once it goes live, you may all begin on your Day 1 objectives. You will have ample time to post and tag around before Day 2 starts, so how quickly or how slowly your team accomplishes their objectives should be decided among you. As it has come up in a few of the plotting e-mails, it should be noted that if two groups are trapped in the same area (ie: the two Engineering teams both being in the main room aboveground, etc), it's totally fine for players from both teams to interact. Just be sure you're concentrating on working with your team to get your objectives done.
As said elsewhere, each team can make as many or as few posts as they like over the course of each in-game day (For instance, Team #1 has agreed on Steve Rogers making the first group post to organize getting started, but after that things can spread to as many other posts as the team wants). We'll give a few days notice before starting Day 2 objectives, so that if any relevant posts need to go up beforehand players will have time. Of course, backtagging is always encouraged, so if you don't finish your Day 1 objectives before Day 2 begins, don't worry. Everything may continue to be tagged for as long as it takes.
Remember, NPCs are yours to use if you feel like it. In addition to the Enterprise crew, there are the scientists and engineers who live and work on Alemar III who will have to be somewhere when events go down. Whether they were knocked unconscious, wounded, trapped somewhere, or perhaps can offer valuable help in explaining the planet, if your character needs them for a subplot, have at them! The mods can be contacted if you have any questions on how this can be done.
Be sure you hold onto your plotting e-mails, which contain the relevant IC and OOC information for your group, and also be sure to check in over at the original OOC plot post for more, particularly the QUESTIONS subthread. If you get stuck and need help, this is the first place you should check!
We'll update this post once the IC post has gone live. ETA: And the inciting post is LIVE, which means you are all free to begin posting, planning, and plotting. GOOD LUCK, TEAMS.
