Get in the mech!

Oct 25, 2009 20:50

HELLO, CAMPERS! This mod post is regarding--

OH MY GOD IT'S A GUNDAM as well as your other giant robots of choice.

Which is to say, after tossing around ideas and the mods discussing it, mecha from your various series are now re-allowed in camp.



Before the fun time FAQ, we'd like to preface this with. Mecha is allowed to come back because we trust that our players will not abuse their being there. The godmoding and OOC rules apply to them like anything in camp! So players, please keep that in mind (though we know you always do cause you guys are awesome).

SOME MECHS ARE BIG. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO STAY?
We've settled on one location where mecha will all be stored. On the edge of camp, there is now a hangar, and if your character is cleared to have a mech in camp (see below for more information on that), it will be docked there! This gives all of our pilots an opening to bond, as well as maybe even do some mechanic work, or all talk about how sexy they look in their flight suits - post ideas for that are endless! We figure we will leave it up to the players as to how they deal with this. If a GIANT MONSTER attacks camp, your character may make a running dash to the far ends of camp to the hangar! If your canon has devices that can summon your mecha, that is fair game, too. Even if your canon doesn't, you can give your character a girly, sparkly summoning device. We'll leave that part in your hands so you can tweak it to your own personal joy levels.

IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A CHARACTER IN CAMP WHO HAS A MECH, YOU DO NOT NEED PERMISSION FOR IT
We're casting a blanket permission on all CURRENT pilots re: "CAN I HAVE MY MECH IN CAMP?" There is going to be a general "a wild hangar has appeared!" post (probably within like 20 minutes as of now), so just jump into it assuming your character's ass-kicking machine is in it, if you want them to have it in camp.

ALL NEW CHARACTERS WILL NEED PERMISSION
If you decide to app a pilot any time after this date, you will need to ask for permission as to if your new character can have their mech be chilling out in the hangar! And by permission, we really just mean permission from Yzak, who is signing on as the resident mecha whore. You do not need to e-mail or ask all of the mods for this. Just either give Yzak a quick poke on IRC, or drop her an e-mail (stormwaltzing at gmail), and she will get back to you quickly. Note that as long as there's nothing wild or insane about it you will never have to worry about a "no."

ONE MECH PER CHARACTER
We're going to have a one mech per character rule apply to this un-ban! If your character goes through 50 mechs in a series, just choose either a most recent or whichever one you think is most badass. If you're playing from an ongoing canon, you can only get newly acquired mecha if you're character is updated to the same point of time they own it, but it will 'replace' the mech they had before. If, for some reason, there is a canon out there where you might really need to ask for two to make something work right, just ask Yzak about it! We are open and willing to make exceptions like that if they're needed. We only ask that you give an explanation about the situation and how it works in canon or whatever.

DOES MY CHARACTER HAVE TO HAVE THEIR MECH IN CAMP?
No way! If you're happier with your character going through piloting-withdrawal, you are more than free to keep it that way. :)

WHAT ABOUT MECHS THAT COULD APPLY TO A CAST-DECISION?
If there are cases out of there of a mech that's more owned by the whole cast, rather than having one or two assigned pilot(s), we trust that cast-mates will talk things out with each other before making a solid decision about it.

YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR MECH
For characters that are one character -> one machine, you're basically in charge of it! IE: if that random character in camp wants to totally go hijack one to see how it feels because HOLY CRAP, REAL GUNDAMS!, they'd need permission from whoever's character owns said mech. We trust mun communication here, of course. o/

Party on! Like mentioned above, there is going to be an IC post in a little while.
