OOC - Interim Plot Stuff

[governmentninja]

Since the RP has kind of stalled into a holding pattern for various reasons, and I figure most of us aren't really content with sitting on our hands for the time being, I've thought up a few ideas to play out in the interim.

I've been think that, instead of taking a "Let's shoot shit" approach to the RP, we take a more investigative approach. Which makes a certain amount of sense since Leon is a cop(well, he was, even if just for a day), and the bulk of the REtards are/were cops as well. Cops don't solve every problem by kicking down the door and shooting people (well, they do in certain neighborhoods, but I digress).

So rather than a direct assault on one of Wesker's bases (which would be foolish, considering that Leon knows that Wesker knows that they would be coming), Leon would have one team go to Savannah to search for any clues about where he might have actually taken Chris. Whatever they find there could lead to raids/surgical strikes on a few of Wesker's other bases (ones he wouldn't expect the REtards to hit), which would lead to more clues and more strikes until Dave is ready for them to find Chris. In essence, instead of blindly charging headfirst into whatever trap Wesker has waiting for them, Leon would rather they go around it.

Also, as another plot, investigating Reno. Leon isn't buying Reno's "I wanna be a REtard!" routine. At all. Up until now he's only voiced his concern to Hunnigan, though he'll ask other people to start investigating Reno, particularly his connection to Midgar. He'll also want people to look into Midgar in general, since Leon knows (from Baofu) that Wesker is interested in something there called "Mako" and that might be the point of connection between Reno and Wesker. But even if it's not, if they can bring a grinding halt to Wesker's Mako supply line (or to construction of the Umbrella/Shinra facility), it's all good.

Anyway, thoughts? Plots to add? Suggestions? Questions?

Edited to Add: redheadednobody (Axel from Kingdom Hearts) would like to get involved in our rp. At the moment, though, I can't think of a way to fit him in off the top of my head. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on that, feel free.

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what's in the Shinra documents, other than a disc and some papers regarding Rufus. That'd be something you need to prod Tony about.

I can, however, help out a bit with the drafting of other files-- lab reports, security memos, etc. I think it'd be really cool to be able to do more than just mention "lol file," but actually have people reading the RP be able to reference the files characters are talking about.

EXACTLY. Check Pro_voice's file memories; I am all about the writing up of stuff in attempted OMG GOVERNMENT FORMAT for people to use. Not so much has been used yet, but it's there.

S'what my pup is there for.

I would appreciate the help. Don't bite off more than you can chew, though--you've got a lot to do.

I'd be willing to help with that too. As a many-time GM for tabletop games, I've become adept at drafting up prop reports and files for the players to actually read and hold, rather than me just go, "LOL, it says this"
