Those of you who obsessively stalk the forums may have already stumbled across the makings of my final plot here at Magic Horizons. A few friends and I tossed it together, though I have to give the vast majority, if not all credit for it to Raider and his simply brilliant mind, and it will most likely be a finale that will ring in your ears for many years to come. We hope.
The plot begins at the Lake with the thread "Butterflies and Hurricanes", and by reading it through you should easily be able to trace the flow of this piece from location to location like a good novel. We've pulled out all the stops and hope to pump more raw effort into this than is strictly humanly possible. And we plan on having it wrapped up by the first of October.
Crazy? Why yes, actually. I am. Entirely. Don't scoff! I mean it!
See just how crazy I am? huzzah!
There are, however, a few simple rules that you'll have to follow if you desire to participate in this plot, so mark them well. You'll be bound by them even if you jump in without reading this through - so I suggest you make sure you don't miss anything.
All of the threads participating in this plot will henceforth be marked with an astrix, '*', in the Subject line. That way all confusion will be eliminated and it will be even easier for the people following to, well, follow. ^~
Rules for play:
1.) On Death and Dying: There will be a lot of battling in this plot, I predict. You'll have to deffend your school against a hoarde of insane undead folk. But, you can't kill another person in this plot without battling it out. If you wan't to kill someone, challenge them to a fight. Then, in an OOC at the end of that message, write that it's 'to the death'. You may only kill the other character -AFTER- they accept. This is done by fighting to the best of your WRITING skills. After a sufficient amount of the battle has been written a plot mod will decide the victor.
If you are unsure who is a plot mod and who isn't, feel free to PM me or Oris and we'll set things straight.
2.) On instant heals: They're cheap. They don't fly. We wont have it. I don't care if you have pheonix blood in you or some kind of magical unicorn antidote, if your parents were such-and-such and because of this you regenerate appendages. Here it does not work, and the plot mod will pronounce you the losing party of an encounter due to poor RP quality. (This means you'll die in a to-the-death challenge.)
3.) On being in more than one place at one time: Before you join in on another thread in this plot, you must have completely exited the previous thread you were posting in. You can't do it in real life, you can't do it here.
4.) On possession and mind control/infection: Michaela, in this plot, gains the possession of a legendary sword called the "Innocence Lost". Through this sword she gains the ability to control minds - possess people with this sword, more or less - and spread the infection of her own insanity. As a rule I will PM you and ask permisson/notify you before I make use of this ability, but understand that once you have been possessed/infected, the status is incurrable for the duration of the plot. You will be my little puppet and I will make you hurt and kill your friends. No holy water, no power of love, no mystic dragon powder etc, etc, etc, can 'snap you out' of this state until the sword is relenquished at the end of this planned story arc.
For the sake of this plot it is necessary that at least a handful of people are stricken with this ailment, so I ask that at least a few of you come forward and offer to be thusly overtaken. I also ask that if I PM you asking permission to spread my little insanity disease that you seriously consider the request. The plague plot failed because no one wanted to get sick. I poured a lot of planning into it. I don't want this to die for the same reason.
I do believe that is everything I have to cover... *ponderlates*
Happy plotting, and I do hope we provide you with the show of an absolute lifetime. *bows out*
