The Concept:
The RIP is here! A portal between two universes exists and an agreement reached between the two separate American governments has led to the access to and trade between the universes. Each day thousands of people cross and trade is conducted, resulting in millions of dollars in profits for corporations.

It was only a matter of time before factions in the twin New York Cities became involved and chaos erupted at the rip.

Everyone has their own aims for the rip. Maybe they want to use the rip to impose their own taxation or charge for protection, maybe they want to use the rip as a funnel for people to locate mutants, maybe they want to secure it against those interests. Whatever the goal, everyone wants the rip under their influence.

Conflicts at the rip will culminate in a stalemate where no group can achieve their own goals without the national guard being mobilized and the rip being put under military control.

In order to avoid that, a parley is called and a faction battle royale is proposed. To the victor goes the rip.

Okay, Spork, You Have My Attention. What Does This Mean?:
As a plot-within-a-plot a battle royale would be organized by the faction leaders for control of the rip. Potentially not a true free-for-all, each faction might have a couple or three members involved in the fighting.

Players would be encouraged to play out their faction’s involvement at the rip. No part of the lead up to the battle royale will have to be played out IC. The sit down between the factions may also not be played out in detail.

The of the plot is to have an epic battle royale where the factions can have a chance to really slug it out against each other. While not every member of the faction would be able to be involved in the fighting itself, there are opportunities to be involved.

Everyone would start in one big thread, like the the RIP’s Hold on to Your Butts. From there players would be encouraged to split off into other threads and move from thread to thread as necessary. Other threads could run alongside these showing how other characters are supporting it. What this means would need to be determined. See next section. As there are many of us here who have the potential to cause large effects; weather changes, large explosions, wildfires, etc., there will be a thread which keeps track of all of these. The battle royale’s announcer so people at home can listen in or watch on tv.

I’m Sold! Where Do I Sign Up?:
Hold your horses there, cowboy! There are still some kinks to work out so suggestions are welcome. We'll be contacting some members and leaders as representatives that will be invited to the parley in order to help tighten up the details. Be sure to let your local faction rep know if you want to punch a man.

How much of this will be played out needs to be discussed. The goal is to bring about the battle royale, so while we encourage players to thread pursuant to their factions interests, it may happen that there are no official threads leading up to the battle royale. This will largely depend on how much the faction leaders want to write in character in threads. We’re all busy people and our time is valuable.

As more information is made available the mod team will drop it here.

Sounds Good, But Where Did This Genius Come From?:

Max, the player of Grav Bomb and Darwin is responsible for submitting the initial idea!
