[QUOTE="Elf_Ariel, post: 4215116, member: 34891"] Someone complained about vampires...and I came up with the black grey and white idea. Then, somewhere else, there was an issue with the amount of current storylines; so I decided to put thought to the issue, pen to paper, then paper to keyboard. I came up with this: Alright...so I'm brainstorming. The best way I know how to do that is with other people. Since I have no friends XD...well none in RL that RP; I figured you guys'll have to be my subs. I have a problem. I have an evil mind. And I'm not just saying that. But I do. My mind is creatively geared towards being on the bad side of things. Which undoubtedly sucks, because as a general rule of thumb, the bad guys always lose. Not that I'm complaining. I have fun while I'm losing. But it does suck to lose all the time. Besides that point. The biggest drama with setting up an 'evil' group. Is that you need someone to come up with a good group to combat them. If there's no one to stop you. It just gets so -yawn-. So. I'll put the outline of my ebil group here. You can pick it to pieces all you want. I dont really care. But what I really want ya to do, is come up with an equally insteresting opposite side which can be run to combat it. The idea: Black team [LIST] [*]Works a bit like a pyramid scheme...(dont shoot me just yet) [*]Begins with approx 3 members - they make up level 1 [*]2nd level has 4 people, 3rd has 5 etc (and no I dont expect to get past 2nd level) [*]recruitment for the team is based on passing of tests [*]any new recruit must pass a test on each level [*]each new member must create a test, which new recruitments might have to pass [*]a new recruit must begin at the lowest level and work up. [*]if a new recruit inquires at a level that is not the lowest, that member recommends someone on the lowest level to begin at. [*]tests logically get harder as the levels increase [*]to complete membership, a test from each level must be passed; and possibly to finalise it, begin the process with one new recruit? [*]Some form of evil...lawful, neutral (probably not chaotic) must be a prerequisit...? [*]All members can claim to be 'leader' of the group (to lead spies astray) [*]The group (once there's enough members) will be divided into factions. [*]3-4 factions eg intel, offense, defence and substitues? [*]each new member chooses/is assigned to a faction [*]factions require 3 members, preferably from different levels [*]each member must supply a character available for grey-team (a victim)...it can be the same character. [*]And I have no idea, what the goals of this group would be...other than anhilate the world (which is so -old- and worn out...) so i need ideas for that too! [/LIST] So there you have it. That's plan B (Black), now all I need is plan G (Grey) and plan W (White). Or do ya all just think I'm being an idiot? I will admit, sometimes my ideas get way outa hand... [/QUOTE]
