Loosely, this is the idea so far - IT IS ENTIRELY UP FOR CHANGE:
Right now, Lithmore is divided up into the following regions:Once a month or so, a city event would be rolled. I think players should be able to add a city event to the system because it's RP they want to see, in much the same way we take pvent or ti-fact submissions.
Anyway, staff members will write up an IC_Event on the IC_Events board with any relevant city events, and some city goals to modify the outcome of the city event.
Players will get a plot command that they can write a brief 'I've RPed about X to try to achieve the city goal', which will earn rewards from staff and advance the plot - the only rules being 1) that RP must be involved and 2) what they RPed wasn't crazy as balls (ie, it contextually fits with who they are and the theme, etc - so pulling out your lazer canon and blowing up Elliueh to cripple the mage population probably isn't reasonable).
Mid-month, staff will post another IC_Event board to summarize what people did and what happened.
- North Lithmore (gentry and nobility live here, it's posh neighborhood)
- Merchants Quarter (shops, commerce)
- Civic Center (Town Hall, Town Council, Cathedral, city functions)
- Foreign Quarters (immigrants live here in their own cultural enclaves)
- Southside (poorest of the poor, this is the home of the gangs and black market)
- Surrounding environs (the wilderness)
We'd love some ideas on how to incorporate those areas to this. The point of this exercise is to bring TI's CITY and RP environs to life. I'd love to see political events as well as major disasters, etc, in the system to roll.
So, this post is about soliciting ideas. Any suggestions on where we can go with this, folks? Thanks!
