New Group-Fic : PLOT 4 OUTLINE DISCUSSION

[BOC]

this was an idea i was saving for my premier solo effort, but since that went to pieces some time ago, we may as well try to save some bits of it, but here it goes:

the anti-pioneer movement working title

the place: coral

the time: several year before the departure of pioneer 1, the spaceship itself is still under construction, with work beginning on its sister ship pioneer 2.

the background: a global war has raged across the face of the planet. each faction sending great droid armies into battles, fearsome tools of destruction. there is no limit to what is used for victory, no matter the cost. great cities have fell. many people have died. suddenly all the warring factions call a seize-fire. scientists have discovered that the constant abuse of the planet has finally taken its toll, and soon it will no longer be able to support life.

with the uneasy peace in place, the pioneer project is born. the peoples of corals last chance to survive the inpending doom. it is not long before it weilds results. ragol is found. construction of pioneer 1 begins. plans are been made. the people breath a sigh of relief. salvation is at hand.

but there are those who think differently. powerful political figures begin to question the project. why should they be allowed another chance? they destroyed one planet, why should they be allowed to destroy another? shouldn't a people die along with their planet? whats to stop the war spilling over onto this new world?

yet despite this grumblings, the majority of the people embrace the idea of settling on ragol. its not only a new planet, but a new chance to forget the past wars. to try and live peacefully. they have learned from their mistakes. they will take better care of their new planet.

however, lurking in the shadows.... the anti-pioneer movement, a network of fanatical terroists plot to sabotage the pioneer 1 construction site. They are ruthless in their tatics, and commited to their believes, having already made several attacks against head figures involved with the project.

can anybody oncover this evil-plot in time? will heros rise to save the day??

people could take on the roles of those trying to save the day, the dudes actually involved in the project, the evil nasty anti-movement dudes, and lets not forget those people who just seem to get swept up into circumstances they cannot control.


well, i dunno, maybe some1 will like this idea. and in the likely event its not used for a group fic...

BACK-OFF plotline stealers! this baby is mine!! i may yet try to make a go at a fic. course, id rather see it used in a group situation.

MUH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

PEACE!!!

Two ideas! HA HA HA HA! How I love to count!

Excellent. we'll see what the other guys think (assuming they visit this thread of course).

Myself, I'll have a good think about it on sunday once my brain is rested.

[Zzzzzz]

I like the idea. The only prob is we probably won't use our own characters (or, if we do, we wouldn't have the experiance we earned and we would be younger).

[Solstis]

Well, would the pro-pioneer people really be the good guys? Or would they be misguided.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

I like it!

[mr_rubbish]

Experience wouldn't be a problem. The Hunter's Guild is the army of the common people and would have taken part in many battles against various armies.
And if you are worried about character age just create an older character!

Good/bad does it matter? Thats part of the fun.

that is indeed a problem faced by my trifle of a plotline. however, many droid characters, such as my own can live for longer times. what where they up to before they left coral?

and how many characters have had brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers/etc lost on pioneer 1? it could be a chance to tell their story. give some background info. did they have a role in saving pioneer one. because of their efforts where they asked to go on pioneer one, to safe-guard it? who knows.

or how many are ex-military? what where they up to before they got booted out?

Well, would the pro-pioneer people really be the good guys? Or would they be misguided.

up to whoever is writing. nothing really wrong with people wanting to escape a dying planet is there? but what if somebody is mis-guiding them?

but what of those directly involved with the project? are there intentions purely good? what if they are throwing their weight behind the pioneer project to help gain better military footholds on ragol to give them a better chance should war breakout.

this plotline is pretty open ended and in the off-chance it is adopted, i'm hopeful it will accomedate all ur fic-writing needs *cheesy corporate smile*

PEACE!!!

This isn't really a proper suggestion but my brain (almost) never stops.

Title: Return of the Shadow King.
Style: Serious / Supernatural Horror.
Synopsis: Just two weeks after Falz was defeated, Hunters start to die in unusual circumstances. It will turn out that Falz is trapped on the spiritual plane...

just read ur short fic of the same name rubbish, and it was quite creepy.

and i like the idea that its 2 weeks after he fell. you could follow stories of 'shattered' heros who have been disturb by their encounter.

sometimes my brain never stops to unless i really need it (where the hell where you brain when i was doing my tests? what? going over memory banks dealing with porn? u dirty piece of....)

errrr, i should go lie down.

good idea rubbish!

PEACE!!!

[Stormsworder]

Hm. I kinda like that. I guess I have something to think about when at school. Everytime I come up with a plotline, I'll write it down and post it here.

[Logical2u]

1st person: Good idea, but no real basis for action.
BOC: That's ok, but (If using the data I had when writing chapter 5 of Defeats Finest hour,) that would make Logical2u the age of 11. Far to young to be a soldier. If using current data, however (that it was 9 years between P1 launch and P2 arrival) would make him 16. So, I'd just have it so Logical2u's sixteen before P1 launches.

The idea you had is good. I would participate openly in it. The military had great power before the fall of Coral...

Mr. Rubbish" Another interesting idea. No real upsides or downsides since the combat could be well thought out and the suspense effects would be great, but the whole : I killed off the ruins! would mean for no faceless enemies. IE: Less killing, more meaningless: OMG WTF U CAnT KLL M3 I WL KL U!
