To Whom It May Concern: Roleplaying group/ Mini-Saga

[Alexander Trafford]

Whoa, we need to balance the ships. We need a confirmed traveling list before we can make any definite plans.

[Jack]

Yeah if there are 7 of you then split it up into 4 and 3 or something.

[Mal Nova]

They got 5...

Shou..Cain... Oriole... Dimitri.. and John

[Sullivan]

I'm assuming you still want our professions?

Bodyguard-for-hire.

[Vad]

He met someone at the Earth Tournament, and was feeling charitable because they were a fellow warrior, so lent them the money.

That I won't protest against. I was also just making sure he was aware.

[Alexander Trafford]

Back on topic, by my count we have Myself, Cain, Mal, Dimitri, Meer, Oriole, Shou and Charles and possibly Marks?

Edit by Zena: My bad.

[Vad]

I appended Cain's original post with that roster. If anyone else joins I will add them.

[Psyren]

im most deff going i even offered 250 z for my seat.

[Tensen]

Throw me on the roster, pretty please I got money

[Alexander Trafford]

The day that the Earth Tournament ends, or perhaps even before that, a CNN Broadcast post shall appear (after it is posted, staff will need to approve it, then it will appear). The CNN Broadcast post will contain a copy of the flyer that all your characters will have "recieved" or "stumbled upon" to give you an IC reason to come to Mercy, more or less it will lure you to Mercy. Once everyone arrives (there will be a deadline), there will be an opening storyline post in which further instruction will be given. You're first IC post in the saga will suffice as a "sign-up" post. That is how it will work best.

I'm very excited about this.

Furthermore, the IC character Trafford will not be present on Mercy-Sei. We can start quicker, there will be no bias, and it will allow the updates to focus more on all of you.

[Cain]

Right. Trafford, if you would please post that here.
We need:

A: Post here with a snippit of your IC coming upon the information. Someone can hand you the flyer, someone can do any of this or that, or you can find it yourself. It's fine to write it ahead of time, as the saga will not be starting for a few days. This'll give us something to update with. Please try to gear your roleplay toward your profession.

B: Your profession.

The updates will be based on individual characters at times, and will include roleplays by us of any length above 300 words for the individual involved.

[Psyren]

Im sorry to say this but...I will be unable to attend t he mini saga do to the demands of my job. Ill be able to continue my own little posts on earth here and there but wont be able to work with anyone. I feel that its unfair for me to get involved with everyone if im only gonna be able to half ass it. Sorry guys.

[Vad]

Removed.

I don't think that's necessary, posting here at least. Just be prepared to roleplay (in your own threads... if you're working with someone then thats fine too) finding out about an employment opportunity on Mercy-Sei. This will be your initiation posts, and once we know who is confirmed to be a part of the story, we will present you with the story.

The first half (or so, I guess) of this will be individual quests, updated by me, Cain, and Alexander with obstacles, plot points, etc. What you do here will effect others, and you're free to read others roleplays and intervene if it makes sense IC. Then the road to the climax will be one massive thread where we all have an orgy and travel teh universe forever. Not really... just making sure you were reading.

As far as ideas, since we're leaving it up to you to get yourself started, Mr. Big is a telepath and a very resourceful man. He could approach you, you could find out about this employment opportunity on your own, whatever. The idea is (if you read The Wheel) that a bounty has been placed on a person (or maybe an item said person is carrying, or a lot of itmes he is searching for, or w/e), and you'll be hired to find him, or it, or them. This is where lore comes in. You get your character started, and we'll hit you with the mindfuck later.

Maybe Mr. Big isn't the only person after this? Maybe you find a Wanted poster? Maybe you hear about some guys looking for something/someone important while taking a piss in a Mercy bar? It doesn't matter, as long as you keep it ambiguous. We will handle the rest.

[Alexander Trafford]

Alright, so are we ready to go? Can the players travel to Mercy and start looking for the mystery man? Is Cain fully ready to go?

[Cain]

Unless you guys want to juggle the saga for about four days starting Thursday we might have a snag. I won't be anywhere near a computer from then until Monday afternoon.

[Shou]

So we're [the lot of us who are on earth and travelling the Mercy] headed out?

[Alexander Trafford]

Hold on for a bit here, me and Cain talked today and, the way i understood it, by Thursday a fairly obvious thread will appear in the Earth Forum describing flyers personalized to all the members of the Saga. You will be directed to that thread, make a quick RP recieving it and what not, then, yes, you shall head to Mercy where the story will begin.

[Mal Nova]

if those going on my shjip are ready..we can leave tonight...

[Cain]

We need a headcount of who is still planning to go. Thanks for your patience.
