Enemy of my Enemy

Political infighting can be especially vicious and every politician has made a few enemies in the past. The object here is to discover the political rivals to the governor of Taris and meet with them. You must gain their support for the Old Empire and in exchange their political group will be given the administration of Taris in the name of the OE.

Rome is the Mob

Just like in the ancient Terran city, a city may have politicians, but they are elected and ruled by the people and pubic opinion. Due to its proximity to the Old Empire, there are local groups that are sympathetic to the cause. Make contact with these groups and assist them in starting an insurrection on the planet to show the governor who really controls Taris.

Down with the Republica!


Taris is still a planet in the Imperial Republica. The Republica has a military presence there. You must infiltrate the planet and strike at their communications base on planet. Your mission is to infiltrate the base and slice into their communications. We need to know what they know and see what they see. This will also give us the opportunity to broadcast if needed on all of their trid vision and news stations.

Gangland

As the surface of Taris is one large city, Under Taris is ruled by the gangs and organize criminal organizations that one might expect. Your mission is to infiltrate the underworld of Under Taris, discover who is really in control there and make a deal to have the Underworld of Taris as our ally in this fight.

All about that Kelp, about that Kelp, no Republica!


The Kelp farms of Taris are its number one export and keep not only its people fed but people across the galaxy. Unfortunately, there is some sort of disturbance in the Taris sea that is causing the Kelp harvest to have issues. Equipment is being destroyed and the harvest is in trouble. Your mission is to make contact with the Kelp farmers and discover the source of this issue, then destroy it. This will gain the trust of the farmers. The Kelp must flow.

The last remnants of the Republica!


The Republica will not go down without a fight. Your mission is to attack a major bastion of resistance for the Republica, the Ambassadors mansion. The Ambassadors head is the trophy we require to show your true adherence to the Rule of the Strong. You should expect heavy resistance but this will sweep away the last of the Republica's control of Taris.

Upon review, I find this plot lacking in almost every way. This plot submission has more issues that any other plot I have ever reviewed and only one thread is exempt from criticism.

• Enemy of my enemy - The rolls discipline here is awful. Guac rolls five dice in two posts and makes it almost impossible for him to actually fail and there is nothing to suggest either you or Faded Truth rolled at all - I'm not going to trawl through every single one of your rolls in your personal dice roll thread just because you mentioned "personal threads" and didn't have the decency to link to said rolls in your posts. As it is I'm not certain this entire thread isn't just a farce of the dice system.
• Rome is the Mob - The DM opposition here is a joke. The entire thread is summed up as;
  • "So what do you want out of us for our support?"
  • *Kill a journalist that appeared out of nowhere purely to serve as an example* "We want your help in a very vague way."
  • "K. You've not actually answered the question and my fears are immediately gone because you knew to kill a random journalist. I see no problem with this."
  • The hell is this? Because I can tell you that it is NOT opposition. There was only one issue raised and it was immediately ignored because a nobody journalist was magicked out of thing air and killed in the same post.
• Down with the Republica - I know in the recent rule change we have moved away from Dice in open PVPs that didn't get opposition but did you actually roll for your one post that suddenly ended everything? Ending a situation that was taking the efforts of three characters in one post is a stretch but I would accept it if the dice supported this. As this thread started before the rule change, you would be held to the old rules, not the new ones.
• Gangland - This thread looked solid. And then you waltzed in, again, and resolved all issues in one post with no evidence you rolled for anything. This wasn't okay in DwtR and it's not okay here - prove that you haven't done as I've said by providing link to a damned good dice roll for it please.
• All About That Kelp - Finally, a decent thread. No issues.
• The Last Remnants of the Republica - Are you kidding me? I honestly thought thread one was the worst dice discipline I'd ever seen. I was wrong. The use of dice and modifiers in this thread is borderline insulting.
  • A +10 modifier for... stupidity?
  • A +20 modifier for finding the keys to the system without even trying?
  • Rolling a d4 to see how many guards out of 4 a 57 out of 100 kills?

One thread out of six is passable. This is the biggest mess of a plot I have ever seen and it is REJECTED.
