Slow-atus from today to next Saturday

[elfstoned]

There's been a death in the family, and that means last-minute traveling. I'm driving up to NY for the funeral + all those other little things you have to take care of when someone dies, and won't be back till next Saturday.

I'll do my best to get to tags at least once a day, but here's your heads-up that my replies will be slow.

werewolf hunting: the ooc post movie: THE SEQUEL

[secondcomingof]

Resident mad with power co-mod and Casval (Full Frontal) player here again! At this point in time, I'd like to express my intense appreciation of everyone's interest in the hunt for Red October our furry friends. Casval's post got a staggering 21 top level tags, which means a majority of the entire game is interested in getting in on the action. Fantastic!

Because so many of you have expressed interest in involvement (which is a great thing, it cannot be stressed enough) the log will be organized in the following way as to best avoid chaos... or as much of it as we can, given the number of people involved here. IC chaos is good, but OOC chaos is not! So here we go.

First of all, similar to the Vermini log, the werewolf log will be divided into three sections -- before the hunt, the hunt itself, and after the hunt. Before the hunt, characters will be given a chance to mingle as they see fit with each other. This would be the time for characters who have made previous arrangements with Casval to hit him up, and I will have a subsection specifically dedicated to this. In addition, Casval will be giving a short schpeal (with handwaved basic training for the characters who requested it, so everyone will at least have a basic idea how to use a gun without offing themselves) in the final stages of preparation to drum up morale, which you may react to as you see fit. At this time, Casval will also be dividing you all into teams, which I will address momentarily.

Once team captains have been assigned to their respective teams, the hunt is on! Lyall-mun, as well as Aragorn-mun, have agreed to provide our teams with some direction beforehand so we're not hunting in the absolute dark, so to speak. They will have a scent and paths to follow for a chance at a werewolf encounter. Each team will have a separate subthread, because traveling in one massive group is just unwieldy, for both IC and OOC reasons. So rely on your team captain for direction here!

Lastly, there will be an aftermath thread for... well, the aftermath. Pretty self-explanatory and I don't think this needs any subthreads for it, you can put pretty much anything you'd like there post-shit hitting the fan.

Now, onto the teams! Team assignments don't have much rhyme or reason to them, other than selection of relevant and experienced team captains; they were largely done in the order of contact on Casval's post (with the exception of Une, who he made a special arrangement with). These team assignments are for OOC organizational purposes only, to keep things straight. Once Casval makes the team assignments in person, your character is free to argue, disagree, jump ship to another team, what have you. And you as a player are also free to request that you be shifted to another team, but please let me know sooner as opposed to later. We do need to keep the teams fairly even, so requests for moving will be done on a first come, first serve basis. So here we go:

Commander
Casval Mass (Full Frontal, secondcomingof)

*We haven't gotten to that point in our thread, but I'd assumed Rue would be coming along. Feel free to correct me if this is not the case!

If you are uncomfortable with your team assignment or would rather not have your character as captain, again, please let me know. If I have missed you or you did not get the opportunity to tag Casval's yet for whatever reason and would like to go, please also let me know! Otherwise, this is the setup we'll be sticking with. Remember, each team = separate thread = separate encounter. Who will Casval be going with, you ask? Well... I'm afraid that's a secret, for now. Uhuhuhu.

Things that will need to get handwaved will get handwaved. I understand not everyone is available on the weekends (forgot to mention, this is all tentatively scheduled to go down Sunday IC-wise, with the log itself either going up late Saturday or early Sunday) so if you need a little extra time, a helpful note here or somewhere I can see it would be great. Feel free to plan and scheme and do whatever else within your own teams! This is only structured the way it is so we don't lose track of ourselves; beyond that, the world is your oyster. Be bold! Shoot guns! And never forget the Rule of Cool: if it's awesome, then do it.

As always, I am open to any and all questions on this post, or on my personal plurk via notagundam. I will also be tossing a link to this post on the mod plurk, simply because so much of the game is involved and thus it's just easier to get involved that way. EDIT: And because I can never post these sorts of things and NOT forget something, Casval will be sending out a mass text to all of you with the designated meeting location once we're good to go for the hunt. Yep.
