CR Planning: May 2015

Welcome to the Underground! As promised, this is a follow-up post for players who have been accepted into the game to discuss your characters' AU backgrounds with canonmates and other characters, and to establish pre-existing CR (character relations). Feel free to revise your character's history as appropriate to fit in with other characters in the game.

You can use this post to:

• Discuss your character's background history with other players and make changes where needed.
• Work out shared history with canonmates and build in cross-canon CR.
• Say what kind of CR you're looking for and reply to others to offer CR.
• Say hi to the members of your faction and begin discussing your in-game strategy.
• Start thinking about what territories you might want to make a claim on.

There will be a plotting post on the 18th where you can stake your territory claims for the opening month of the game, choose a prompt from a list of plots and start planning the events listed in the calendar.

Read the factions page to remind yourself who your allies and enemies are, then take a sneaky look at the territories map as it currently stands and have a think about your faction's goals. Do you want to make an aggressive grab for power? Sit tight and defend the territories you've already got? Play nice and build alliances with other factions? There's no right or wrong way to play: the tactics employed by your faction are completely up to you.

As before, this is a player-led discussion, but I'm happy to answer any questions. Happy planning, and I look forward to playing with everyone when the game opens!

Stiiiiiles.

I already told you I'm super excited for this continuing CR. But, I'm super excited for this continuing CR.

I did realize she'd try to hide what it is she actually does for a living from Stiles, at least at first. 'cause people don't react well to that, and she'll just let him focus on her being a witch. alsoooo black market shenanigans are go.

[mensrea]

AS AM I B)

Stiles wouldn't even know how to react to it, so that's probs for the best for now. He'll totally be absorbed in the fact that she's a witch tho! YOU'RE SO NEAT NANCY, can you teach him magic, TEACH HIM MAGIC, he'll be the next Harry Potter (or whatever non-4th wall breaking equiv we have to Harry Potter)

[stauncherhearted]

We can deal with THAT particular bag of fun laterrrrrrrr. FOR NOW she will not be your Professor McGonagall. Nope. Don't ask it. Not happening.

It's so hard not to use the word Muggle in this game regularly.

[mensrea]

How about his Professor Lupin then, that dude was cool. Are you also secretly a werewolf Nancy. A witchie-werewolf.

RIGHT? I've been using "mundane" instead (thanks A Wolf Among Us).

[stauncherhearted]

No, she is not secretly a werewolf omfg stiles sit down you can't be both, you have to choose there is no intersectionality around here.

not bad.

[mensrea]

HOW DO YOU KNOW NANCY, HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN BEEN PREGNANT WITH A WEREWOLF'S CHILD, maybe it IS possible, gosh. But yeah ok, you're probably totally right.

[stauncherhearted]

WELL NO BECAUSE BIRTH CONTROL IS A THING STILES YOU ARE SO CARLESS OMFG.

totally right. always right. except about people.

[mensrea]

BIRTH CONTROL IS FOR GIRLS, GUYS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, GOD -- ok jk jk pls don't kill him

Well, we can't all be perfect, Nancy.

[stauncherhearted]

murder is in the cards. seriously. actual murder.

Yes. She's the most perfect. THE MOST PERFECT y'hear?
