Site-Wide Plot Discussion

[Deleted]

This is a thread for the continuation of the discussion that started in the Liquid Time thread. Ideas that have been presented so far:

• The death of Piala
• A war involving all the packs of the site
• A plague
• Corruption of Eternal Snowfall

Feel free to denounce/support any of these ideas, and even add some ideas of your own.

I've asked Cas about Mist recieving a healing power from WM. Once that is taken care of, if it's accepted, we could do something with her.

We could have like, the winner of the war take over all the territorys and all the fallen packs would have to make an allience to form a rebellion. It would be ever cooler if normal won, and good and evil had to work together and stuff.

Wow! Interesting ideas. I'm really not sure what to think. It would be awesome to have the entire WWM territory at war, but complete turmoil? The whole mountain? Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea for a more involving plot, but what if we were to slow it down? I'm still pretty new to rping and so are a lot of others. Maybe we could start with just two, maybe three of the packs fighting and then gradually everyone is pulled into this civil war. Still, I love the idea and I hope the mods and staff will go for it.

I agree with Firefly. We should keep the war to 2-3 packs at first. Maybe others can get pulled in via IC alliances, but I really think we need to let it play out IC. Planning too much OOC can ruin the fun of RPing.

I also like the idea of Zeke corrupting the ES pack. It is exactly the sort of thing he would do.

Are there any Frigid Plague wolves who would be interested in taking part in Piala's death as well as the kidnap of Zeke and Shiver's son, Ajax? I think a group of FP wolves would be best. My wolf, Kyra, can be a part of it. The kidnap would provide all the spark needed to set Zeke on the warpath.

Perjury could kill her under the right circumstances. If a good wolf trespasses on FP land and Piala trespasses to go in after them, Perj would not take kindly to that at all because she knows that Piala is aware of the border.

Yes, perfect!!!! As it so happens, two silly little half grown ES pups are trespassing as we speak wwm-5.proboards.com/thread/new/61

Also, mabey the plague could strike during the fight and make it all the more difficult.

Like what happened in Athens!

What happened in Athens?

I'd like to hear what others think of the Plague idea. Personally, I'm not a fan of it (though that doesn't mean others can't do it, of course). I just, personally, think that causing a bunch of wolves to get sick may backfire because it could cause inactivity while they are laid up trying to get better. I don't really see much fun in writing about all my wolves laying around, groaning in pain and misery as their hair falls out. I would not personally want my wolves to take part in it (but again, that doesn't mean others cannot. I am, however, very, very, very much against a FORCED site wide plague). Also, most plagues are so horrible because they kill a bunch of wolves/people. There might be a few players willing to sacrifice their characters to sickness...but I can't see many players willing to kill off their characters that they've spent months or even years developing to something so...normal...as sickness. Usually when a player kills off a wolf, they want them to go down in a dramatic fashion. It's much more fun to write about. Killing off inactive characters from inactive players is also out because those players deserve the right to decide what happens to their wolves if they want to return.

Its very true the points that you bring up, while a disease may be a good idea, it may not be a good plot.

Yha. @kiwoa Athens had a big plauge in the middle of a war with Sparta.

I think plagues are better suited to books, or other types of RPs where there are more NPCs, and the players could just say that some of their character's relatives died from the plague. There was a plague plot on a Pern site I used to be on, and it was pretty fun.

However, the reason a plague plot wouldn't work here on WWM is because ALL of the characters are PCs, and any inactive characters just float around I guess, since we don't have the permission to do anything with them. Also, because of solid time, there hasn't been opportunity for characters to meet a bunch of different characters on-screen, and thus have their deaths have more impact.

I think for now we should focus on what's at hand. Is there anyone with FP wolves who could post in Kiowa's thread?

Lokianna's on the job!

I could bring Mist by after the events to bring the news back to ES, if I get done with her thread fast enough?
