mission sign-ups
It's that time again:
YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT
is to give me an idea of what you're interested in doing as a response to this post, sometime before next Fri, March 22nd.
Needing/wanting a more laid back approach through the next several months? You're probably going to want options 1 or 2.
1) Opt Out. First off, if you're worried about being just too busy to do any missions at all in the next several months(given that missions ask for a steadier rate of tags than social castle logs do) and would rather opt out entirely, please respond with "OPT OUT -CHARACTER NAME-" or Option 1. Your character will still be able to participate in logs around the castle, or go off on their own mini adventures around London or... wherever they wanna go, but they won't be holding up any group missions by accident.
2) Freeform. If you'd prefer to have your character go on a more free-form mission, where the group will just be given details of a scenario,and then the players are able to work out the details of what happens there, run NPCs, decide on a conclusion, etc, please indicate "FREEFORM" or Option 2 as a preference. In other words, this kind of mission allows you to do things the the way people usually do in DW RP, rather than dealing directly with Gamemaster rulings/settings/the overall storyline of the game. This is ideal for people who aren't as interested in participation in the overarching story, and would rather do their own thing within the sandbox of the game world. Mission parties will be primarily PCs, with just a couple NPCs involved, and pacing will be entirely dictated by the players on that mission. This option will only occur if enough people want to do it.
However, if you're interested in doing a regular mission, with lots of NPC and fellow PC interaction, guided action scenarios with dicerolls and all that goodness, option 3, 4, or 5 will be the way to go.
3) Long Term. As the name implies, these missions could go on for awhile - usually in terms of months. They're usually not straight forward problems: complicated political issues, in depth investigations, far reaching evil organizations, etc. It will take multiple mission logs to solve this problem. If you decide to put your Knight on one of these missions and later want them involved with something else that happens in the main plot, we can always find a reason for them to be taken off the mission, so don't let that deter you from signing up for something that'll last awhile. Some of these missions will intersect with the main plot anyways. Example long term: Japan 1 | 2 | 3
4) Short Term. Unlike long term missions, these are issues with a quicker fix: a single monster, incident, person, item, etc. that requires dealing with. These will usually play out in a single log that should only cover a span of a month or less (dependent entirely on the pacing of the group!). Most of these logs will have only taken a few days in game time. However, they do generally take at least a month to complete from an OOC standpoint. This, of course, varies greatly depending on the speed of the group. Example short log: India and Russia 1 | 2 (sort of a medium-length)
5) Main Plot. [costs XP] You normally have to cash in Experience Points at the Shop in order to buy into the main game storyline but the mission group is currently full up. If you were already on Team Failboat and would like to remain there through the first Season finale/chapter ending, please say so. If you are new to the game and want in, don't stress too much about missing the train. There will be many, many opportunities to jump into the main plot further into the game at more logical junctions, and its events will eventually expand to influence all characters in some way or another. Please make sure you will have time to dedicate to steadily tagging the main plot posts if you sign up for option 5.

Since I am new and such, I'm going to go with Option 3 or 4 with a side of Option 2 should you need someone to fill out the group/he's not already on a mission. (Can I do this? I want to do everything, could I say that too?)
I'd like to eventually work my way up into the main plot, but since I need XP for that, FOR NOW this.

Dimitri I would like to go with Long Term/Option Three.
Miles would do well with either 3 or 4.

Annnd depending on what Tifa wants to do with Emma since we both dedicate a lot of time and energy to Main Plot with Failboat, I'm okay with #3 and #4 for Gold and I'll let Tifa weigh in on what she prefers.
Watch Tifa turn around and pimpslap me because she wanted Emma in the Main Plot or something else entirely.

I DON'T DOUBT YOUR COMMITMENT TO SPARKLE MOTION YOU DONT HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELVES
no but really, main plot is still such a small scale that it'd be awkward to have two characters on it cuz they'd always be hanging around each other. they'll be more room for doing that weird tango later tho. /kisses
