RPG Storyline Think Tank (Story suggestions)

[Geoff G.o.B]

ok so how about this (an yes I've nicked the idea from Boys from Brazil). Talbot along with some other NPC's or PC's that we want to develop are all sleepers. Now my geek knowledge si low so you guys will need to help me out here, but what if some future group of a Romulan secret order (insert clandestine group of your choosing)  want to change the future and conquer Starfleet. They have already been back and programmed individuals that they identified from their "history" as being key players who could swing things either way. Now the time has come too trigger critical events in those individuals lives that will push them one way or the other.
Section 31  could be use the Tiberius crew to try and stop or allow this too happen and we evolve it from there.

We then have options to have section 31 split, perhaps one of the sleeprs is in there and already "activated" and wants to keep the project going. They use my character and Tiberius characters to try and fulfill the project, but you guys get suss of the whole deal and try to avert it.

Have headache now, time travel hurts.

[Geoff G.o.B]

ooh ooh another idea. If you want to keep the time travel theme going for our characters, how about the only way the Tiberius can avert the sleepers waking up is to go back and stop their programming in the first place.

I like it! What do the rest of you think?

So, if this becomes our direction... how long should we all write about the "fun" stories regarding shore leave, the ones that will allow for character development... before getting to the time travel aspect?

I think one of the characters needs to be visiting family or doing whatever and run into someone with "information" or better yet, maybe run into a different version of themselves, someone with information about what is to come.  Then perhaps the captain will discover something wrong about the admiral, then he can secretly call the crew back together and with the help of an alien device or some type of ingested substance the main people can travel back to the moment in time they were recruited.  It needs to be only those characters that have time to write about this, but it would be very cool.  Prehaps it should all focus on stopping the admiral from being turned since he has the most influence.

Ok, I've added my post.  If anyone wants to add character interaction *or I guess, character non-interaction w/e* go right ahead. Or do what you always planned, so long as Isaac is in sickbay ;)Why is he there? thats for me to know, and for you to find out.  ;) 

Anyway, POST AWAY!

Ok peeps, no one else goes to sickbay...we're supposed to be on shore leave.  :D  ;)

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Hey hey, whats so big about going there?  lol  Oh wait, yea, its called: "Excuse not to write" correct? LOL.

But don't worry, there is a reason why he went there and he'll be out.  Besides, the counsilor started it.

But when?  Who knows :)

All funniness aside, I decided that I would reveal a huge amount about Isaac this season, rather than next season which had been my original plan.  So, there is definitely a reason why Isaac is in sickbay, which will expand out later in the season.

OK, here's the problem with all of this and why I am concerned that this whole thing is going to spin out of control to a point hwere only a few people are really involved in the story and everyone else gives up. The problem last season as a few characters interacted so much, it became impossible for others to participate let alone follow the story. I appreciate the effort to have a think tank, but someone need to just step up and guide the story along, it shouldn't be a democracy. I thought we were all going on shore leave and now we have all this drama back on the ship?! I know we all love to develop fun and interesting stories involving our characters, but sometimes brevity is good too.

Hey Bryan... we tried it both ways.. we did a free flow story structure and no one really participated.. so we did a constructed outline and still nothing happened. People either want to participate or not. I for one like the free style way, with very little outline and seeing where the story goes. This third season is all about shore leave.. don't concern yourself with what’s going on with other characters... go on your shore leave... post what your character is doing on their shore leave. The way this season is set up is that you don't have to wait to be invited into the storyline, just post what your character is doing.

[Bryancd]

Fair enough, Kenny. :)

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Kenny is correct of course.  And I leave my posts somewhat open for other people to use my character, so if you want to interact, just go ahead.  Just post.  Its not like its really structured right now, cause we have no idea where you want your character to go on shore leave.

Oh and this whole "drama" business on the ship will be fixed up shortly for my character.  BUT, if you want your character along for the ride.  Post something :)

So post!

Oh, and since I'm lazy and all, ;)  I'm wondering if we have any telepathic characters except vulcans. 

King Linksr

[Geekyfanboy]

Well Quinn is telepathic.. he's half Betazoid and half El Aurian.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Hmm.
