kriegsspiel-at the start of the game, the situation between factions will be tense but not violent, so characters can form friendships and explore some of the social/class issues.
-gradually, with involvement from players whose characters take leadership positions or create their own factions, the tension will escalate into civil war. the military will begin a campaign to arrest or kill mages on the suspicion that rebellion is imminent. meanwhile, other factions will take advantage of the chaos for their own goals.
-there will be battles, but the real focus of the game is on the bonds between characters - comrades fighting together, friends and lovers who have been forced apart, etc. neither side is really "right," so there's plenty of moral ambiguity. not everyone will be a militant supporter of his or her "side."
-players actions will determine how conflicts are resolved.
-the game is very open to player-run plots. dense, interwoven storylines are awesome.
-there will be NPCs, but i'll try to use them sparingly. i'd rather have plots depend on PCs.
Plotting Memes
Every month at activity check time, there will be a plotting meme post on the OOC comm. Participation is mandatory and it's a part of your AC, so please make good use of it! You can also use the plotting posts to brainstorm ideas for characters that you might like to play in the future.
Plurk is fine for casual plotting with your friends, but be aware that due to the limitations of the site, your Plurk posts probably won't reach everyone in the game. If necessary, alternate forms of plotting (such as scheduled AIM chats and group documents) will be used to coordinate complex, multi-character logs. If you're planning a big log and you need some help with the organization, feel free to ask a mod to arrange a plotting meeting.
