Player Plot on the Backburner: Sleeper Council
Just a note about the IC fallout of a recent string of network threads!
Ironwood (RWBY) made this post about a recent Maul incident and rule of law, which has blown up to ~800 comments and counting. Ozpin (RWBY), who is familiar with Ironwood's fascist bullshit and much prefers his own imperialistic bullshit, stepped in to suggest Deerington select a group of leaders as the dream falls apart.
Wu (TLoK) is in eager agreement, and wants to create an interim "Sleeper Council" to oversee resource management, rebuilding efforts, and internal justice. The main thread can be threadjacked here. Responses vary from "why didn't we do that years ago" to "that system is a terrible idea" to "guys please the sky is literally falling rn."
With endgame at the doorstep and everyone wrapping up arcs, we don't want to clutter things with a political player plot now, but! For those of y'all coming to CH2, read on.
In CH2, Oz and Wu are likely to propose a 5-7 person elected council. OOCly, this would be a banner under which community-building player plots could be held (like Mako's resource caches, Wu's safehouse, fallout from PC rampage plots if desired, etc). The goal is to create structure similar to FEAR's leadership and give characters an outlet for political intrigue in the new world. We're sure that some characters won't be into this, and half the fun will be seeing how Sleepers argue over the idea.
Feel free to comment here with thoughts on how your character falls on the issue of Sleeper governance, whether you'd like to get involved with Wu and Ozpin in the remaining months of CH1, and what you might want to take into CH2.
Enjoy your endgame!
- Rona (Ozpin) and Mads (Wu)
UPDATE: Having discussed further with players and mods, we think that whether or not there is IC favor for a new Sleeper organization, we will ultimately have the effort ICly fail. The player plot will just be the proposal of a council and subsequent political arguing, not the successful creation of a council itself. The status quo will remain untouched! This keeps the plot more tidy and self-contained.
Those who want to opt in to discussions about Sleeper leadership can do so by tagging the thread linked above, and keep an eye out for a similar conversation in CH2. Those who aren't interested can safely ignore all mention.
Thanks, everyone!
