You're still alive, @Gamov? I'm stunned.

I'm liking what you got, though, plot title included. Very creative. Although I especially love the flexible approach to failure. What happens just happens. Respect.

However, how many threads are we talking here? Much as I adore your writing, I need numbers.

Oh, another thing. Submit a lore write-up on the warehouse. This plot won't be approved until then.

Thanks!

Copy that.

Probably should have asked this first off, would Larkin's company need a write up as well? She inherited a defunct business from her father, and it was cleared through Wit that she was allowed ownership over one office building on Empress Teta. The reason I haven't yet done a write up for the company is two fold.

First, the restrictions on what level 1 characters can reasonably own from the outset.

Second, her story (at least initially) revolves around her trying to out scheme and out wit the company's board of directors - who both have a controlling interest in the company, and wish to see Larkin ousted so they can liquidate and pocket the earnings for themselves. They are essentially the antagonist against whom she is working for much of her early story.

I figured, since the company is basically a shell and Larkin's position as CEO is far from secure, I would only need to bother myself with a write up for the company once there was actually something there to claim ownership of. Does that make any sense?

And so far as thread count, I was thinking 3 would be a good number. One for the social meet and greet, two for scouting the warehouse and uncovering the gang's true allegiance, and three for the negotiation attempt or skirmish.


p.s. I'm not alive. I'm actually a hallucination brought on by your sleep deprived brain.

Hey Gam! Stepping in for Dev for a sec:

First, we only ask that you make the lore article first so we know exactly what state you're obtaining the company, its assets, locations, etc. The approved lore article is always tentative until the plot is completed.

Second, three threads for a warehouse, leadership of a company, and two pieces of advanced tech for your companions is MUCH to low. I'm totally fine with you avoiding PvP for this, but please add in a few more, preferably dice-rolled or DMed threads (with sufficient difficulty) to account for these rather lucrative rewards.

 

[Gamov]

Oh no, the threads would only count for the warehouse and tech.

Ownership of the company is the goal I am aiming for long term, this plot is just a tiny first step towards that. I intend to do many, many, many more plots between now and owning the company. I actually don't even see Larkin being in full control until she's near or at level 2, at the least. Until then, she's mostly going to be gathering associates, snapping up assets and trying to make enough of her own income to keep the business financially solvent (so the board of directors will no longer have reason to liquidate what's left of the company as it stands).

I'm probably over complicating this whole process far more than need be. lol

At any rate, if approval of this plot is dependent on having a write up for the company and the warehouse, then consider them at the top of my "to-do" list.

This plot is abandoned, for all intents and purposes.
