So, it might be out of line for me to start this thread, but I thought the upcoming camps/resistance threads might benefit from a little idea-tossin'. So here it is: a thread in which to bounce ideas around!

To get us started: I was plannin' for Rupert--who is rather full of self-loathing and confusion at the moment, after just shootin' his mutie freak girlfriend--to let the entire women's barracks have a chance to escape. The point of this: he wants to set Raina free, but he doesn't want the Stalker bots targeting her--so, send her out in a swarm of fellow-mutant cannon-fodder, and pray that she makes it. This wouldn't take place until towards the end of the camps thread, methinks.

Other things to consider... what will the camps look like? What sort of things will the prisoners go through? Etc!

..... Oh god now I have to explain things. *slams head into desk.* Damn I knew I forgot something.

Okay

1 the Braclets will move, thats right move like a creepy crawly up the mutants arm, expand and then latch onto thier necks as a collar.

2. The mutants will be in Barraks seperated by Men and women. The guards will be mainly men, escaped convincts and such. Meaning they will be brutal o the mutants.

3. Foodwise will consit of a bland soup and bread.

4. There will be diffrent facilities for the mutants to work at including a battery factory, Mines, Quary, Dam and whatever else someone thinks of to help me out.

5. Most personal possesions would be taken upon arrival, only to be given a small bag filled with some of thier Items that are 'essintal for life.'

6. Everyone will wear similar clothing, women wearing a plain grey dress, men where grey slacks with a grey shirt.

7. Most likely Women will suffer from vulgar coments from the male guards. Proably some grouping as they walk by as well if they arent careful.

8. All mutants can expect, verbal and physical abuse from the heads of thier camps and if they still fight back after that they are sent to the warden for a session.


Okay thats all I got for now. Does that help you guys?

I wanna be in on this somehow, just not a guard.

I don't know how much every one else reads (research-wise), but would a bit of studying up on what has been written about the Holocaust, and other similar events, help? Also how the slaves were treated in various situations? That might help us as rpers be more true-to-situation in our posts.

Just a thought, since I know I can sometimes go overboard trying to make things sound realistic.

While Librarian's post helps with the camps, what about the Resistance? If that isn't organized rather quickly, rather than lone mutants going on their own, things could get confusing as well.

I'm figuring with hunters hundreds of connection, he's going to find it easy to spread the word about resistance, while at the same time keeping it on the right channels. people can hear aboput from NPC's on the streat, and meet up at the labs. I don't think the labs are a good idea though. Probably be good to have a large group of people somehwere more remote and less conspicuous, like a forest or mine or something.

As for the camps, the guards should be just for show. Have stalkers posted around the place in camo, and have them take people out when they show signs of resistance. Much more intimidating that way. Kinda like they do with snopers in towers, only much more ominous and scary.

Ok, resistance wise I planned on having the labs as a HQ, with secret entrances out into forests and such like, possibly even with concealed bases and such scattered about so you don't always have to come back to the labs.

As I have my men gathering people who escape the raids geting everyone to the labs as a start should be easy. Once there I'll hold a group meeting where some ground rules for the lab are laid down for everyone and ideas can be chucked around. After that I'm going to head off to mess with the CoH with Iris and leave Kaz in charge. Syn will probably take command of all the Order who escape, and the highest ranking X-men can command them, but Kaz will be in overall command of the resistance.

Okay, this is posted with Librarian's permission. This is a basic layout for the camps, with men and women separated.

Main Barracks[/u] - Each occupant has claim to one 6' long bunk and one 3' x 3' chest, two changes of clothes (camp-issued) and one pair of shoes (also camp-issued). All other personal items are confiscated. Behind the Barracks are the showers and toilets. All showers are overseen by one or two guards. In other words, no privacy, whatsoever.

Work Buildings[/u] - Various areas are devoted to various tasks.

Laundry Pool[/u] - Small, man-made pond where clothes are washed, including guards clothes, which are washed by the camp occupants.

Isolation Barracks[/u] - 4' x 4' x 6' room where troublemakers are sent for 24 hours, with water, but no food.

Discipline Circle[/u] - Camp occupants are gathered here to witness troublemakers being punished, or for daily announcements, etc.

Mess Hall[/u] - Both men and women eat in the same Hall, but are separated by reinforced glass and bars.

Guard Towers[/u] - Self explanatory.


The camp is surrounded by a flat grassy area in which various Shadow or other Stalkers patrol, as well as human guards. Beyond that is a forest. In other words, escape will be just a bit difficult....

Either the pictures or the links will be posted in the camp thread for reference.

That really helps with visualizing things. Although I'll probably be looking at this post while I'm writing for Nika in the camp. lol

How high are the outer walls and what are they made of?

Yes, there will be Shadow Stalkers patrolling outside the camp as well as a couple inside. Most likely there will be a few HK units placed in strategic locations as well as a couple Hellfire units providing over watch outside the perimiter for both possible escapees and any aircraft flying over.

How high........Hmm lets go with about 30 feet and made of titanium alloy which is the strongest substance next to adamantium in the x men universe

wow this is fantastic, loving this plot Em, you put so much work into it. Great visuals Iris. Awesome.

I had raina's hair get shaved off because it changes colour, but I figure it could be a fitting punishment for any female characters who feel like taking it on.

Just curious, will there be two separate threads for the girls' camp and boys' camp, since they're separated. Or will it all be under the same thread so we can interact during meals and in the infirmary? Or will there be a separate thread for the infirmary and isolation barracks, for those of us planning to end up in one or the other, or both, on a regular basis? lol

yeah I agree with Iris i have all those same questions.
I think we should start this soon too because we're running out of things to do!
