So it's been bugging me that TSO is more of a conglomerate of darksiders rather than group with a common mission or goal. I feel that TSO needs to act more like a team. Hence, I have arrived at a solution for my complaining. A group training mission.
But wait! Nearly every training mission has never been completed nor been very exciting!
I think my idea might solve that a little. Here's the scenario: The elders of TSO have put togther a mock situation for the apprentices. There's a mock murder in the palace and it is up to the apprentices to solve who did it, where it happened, how it happened and (hardest of all) why. The apprentice(s) that arrive at the proper conclusion will be honored with IC recognition of some sort.
Only we elders will know the full answer and won't be playing. The thread will be moderated by a 'narrator' who describes the clues to those playing to avoid people creating a solution that is easiest for them.
For (a simple) example:
Apprentice1 walkes into the library and scans the walls and surroundings for a clue.
Narrator: The library is kept and clean as usual except for a dark scorch mark on the east wall.
One of the elder's will play the narrator, I'm willing to do so. A number of options are available to the apprentices as they can choose to band together and figure things out or solve the puzzle themselves for greater reward. What might make things more interesting is to see how each character works with the others, but that is solely up to those who play the characters. I already have a story in mind ready to implicate, but I need approval because I'd like to use the elder's characters as either victim or perpetrator. Just a reminder: None of the events within the mystery have any reprecussions IC.
Victim: Lady Vader (Because you're the biggest name within TSO and still a big name throughout the rest of the boards. Such a high profile might attract attention)
Perpetrator: Sasha.
How: Force choke. (Subtle, yet effective.)
Where: The Sepulchre.
Why: A dispute over power. (How very Sith like...)
There's so much more to it, such as clues and what not but to write and explain all of them would be long winded. Though I can list them if neccessary.
I think it would fun and a good exercise and might liven up the boards here a little. I think its simple enough to work. If it doesn't... well then it didn't. So do I have permission to start this using the characters mentioned?
