so like I said! Let the brainstorming for what to do in the camps begin!

re: brainstorming stuff to do in the camps

well, this may be moot with the "X-Men Attack" plan being worked out else-thread, but if it isn't... maybe it's a good idea for the inmates to start making active plans for a breakout?

I don't mean actually escaping from the camps -- everyone has already weighed in on how bad an idea that would be. I mean more like... "OK, let's assume someone's going to try to break us out. When that happens, we'll need to be ready to move and move quickly. So let's set up an organization internally, find ways to pass messages quickly, build up a map of the Camps, keep track of numbers of guards and what their patrol schedules are, etc. Maybe we can find out more about their defenses, what weapons they use, where the armory is. Maybe we can trick or seduce one the guards into sending messages to the outside. Etc."

You know, being less passive. Even if it doesn't result in any big dramatic breakout stuff, it might lead to more interesting interactions/conversations.

If it helps at all, I started a Sonya-infiltrating-the-camps thread a couple of weeks ago that hasn't gone anywhere... if anybody wants to join me there to kick off something like this, feel free.

The idea of Community service sounds good too. Like street clean up or park clean up, or other types of things. It might be kind of interesting for someone to set up a picket protest for Mutant Rights during such an event. It would help show that some humans are mutant sympathizers, not just having the debate as Mutants vs. Human. It could also provide some of the more human looking mutants out there with an opportunity to rp.

Okay first off, Kaz thank you so much for making it perfectly clear to the rest of the site that you hate my guts. You have blown things once again way out of proportion and how the Hell can you just read the first post? Try reading the rest of the post and watch me comprimise with people. Next time you want to yell at me why don't you just call me names like you do when I am trying to help you.

Alright I know that was immature of me but it had to be done.

With that said, Raina is right, I am bored out of my gord right now with this plot, it is moving as slow as KP. I sent some ideas to certain people to help iniate certain things so perhaps it will help. Any questions pm me.

Well Neena, I've been thinking more and more about the idea of community service. I figure maybe the the higherups can start investigating the camps and decide the mutants need to be put to more good work- perhaps after pressure from mutant right groups. It could satisfy the mutant haters too because they see the mutants being used for something good. It would give mutants in the camps an opprotunity to communicate with each other (like guys and girls) as well as the outside world. Maybe there could be conditions to mutants being allowd to do the community service- like good behaviour in the camps and x amount of hours working in the camps allows for x amount of hours working outside. Of course they'd all be monitored by stalker bots etc. But it might give us more of a chance to RP for those of us stuck in camps. It may even provide more info for the resistince

Simply taking an idea off the top of my head, which I believe was inspired by Gladiator, would it be at all feasible to add some kind of arena to the camps? It would add to the sense of cruelty and brutality that the mods seem to want and it would give some of those in the camps a chance to do something with their characters.

As you can probably tell from what I mentioned above I envision this as being a type of miniature coliseum where the more violent mutants and the occasional troublemaker would be forced to fight each other for say a meal, a bed, or depending on far you want to take this, a "bunk mate" of their choosing.

The interesting thing about this is that anyone taking part in these fights would not be able to use their powers because of the bracelets and so would have to demonstrate real initiative and skill in order to emerge triumphant.

In regards to the Xmen there are two options as I see it:
1) The suggestion of having the group go in guns blazing only to be met with total defeat at the hands of stalkers and such. Not only would this show them what they are truly up against it would give them more incentive to work with the resistance/order/kabal becuase they will have realised that they can't do things on their own.

2) Skip the impossible battle and go straight to working with the resistance, I believe Cass that you and Calley have a going somewhere which could create an ideal opening for communication between the xmen and the resistance (something to do with rocks through windows and such, sorry I'm tired and my mind isn't at it's best).

Alternatively both ideas could be performed although this would require greater organization among various individuals.

Just sticking this in here, since it seems to have gotten lost. More planning with the Ressistance and Xmen is being discussed here, including break out and the like.

Maybe it's time to move the plotting elsewhere for a bit. Continued Camp Plotting here

Okay, I don't know why this thread is being used anymore, the whole reason the new thread was created was because this one was full of bile. LET IT DIE, PEOPLE. Jeez...

Emmy, it doesn't seem fair to PM only certain people if it affects the whole site. Those kinds of ideas belong on the plot boards, not in PMs.

They are just little things. Just little tid bits, random ideas. Don't know if they will work or if anyone will like the ideas, just random things that pop in my head.

I just wanted to remind people that the title of this thread was "a simple proposal" and that Emmy wasnt instating anything just coming up with an idea that nobody seemed to like very much. I hope in future such 'idea" threads people wont take things so personal and be a little more polite and not freak out at eachother. It really is a waste of time and space. So please when you jump into the other thread be a little more openminded and a little less guarded. Otherwise take any personal gripes to PM's please -_-;
