The Awesome Plotage!

The Epic Plot!?

[/b][/center]

Alright so I've received a few PMs from people interested in this awesome plot idea that's been thrown out there. Let's throw together some brainstorming here, hopefully aspire some popularity and get this thing on the move.

So any ideas to begin with? From you guys.

Some personal ideas of mine contribute from:

• 1. Switzerland, with Kyle Steinbeck (my German Lieutenant) in hasty chase of escapee prisoners, flocking over the border? Perhaps these prisoners could withhold important information or significance, maybe...
  
  Switzerland hasn't officially been used yet, I thought it could be interesting having fleeing prisoners across new landscapes and a neutral territory at that. What would the Swiss governing bodies do with Third Reich footmen hastily throwing themselves about within their territories? I know Germany and Switzerland were kind to one another, but the neutral abode still applied.
  
  Random idea nonetheless. This idea is more plot schemed, tailored.
  
  
• 2. This idea is more varied and open however. A terrorist attack wherever we decide occurs, but it's no ordinary terrorism, rather it's an experimental bomb/explosive that occurs within a main high-street and busy environment.
  
  The bomb would consist of some kind of contagion or chemical, perhaps something that shows no symptoms at first, but later symptoms erupt and it's down to whoever we decide, government wise to attempt to try and clean-up the job. By any means necessary.
  
  Whilst keeping the media/press out of the limelight to prevent mass hysteria... Again, another random idea and bounced off Addie on this idea from something she mentioned earlier.
  
  
• 3. A more simple idea. All of our characters are present within a given location and a huge bombing raid occurs on the area. Chained together by these incidents, our characters entwine by the events and we use improvisation and our initiative to react to the situation.
  
  Perhaps people become trapped in a burning, yet unstable building as the bombs are spiralling downwards and we're tasked with saving them? Perhaps you are the people trapped? Maybe the ground gives way in the street from a bomb or two and you're thrown underground into a chasm of medieval tunnels?
  
  Who knows, I'm chewing these ideas up as I'm sitting here, but this idea simply occurs from an air-raid and the rest of the events are improvised as we progress.
  

So, you guys have any ideas to share?

I have an idea but it might take a bit for me to type up. I'll pm you when I'm finished bro.

Building on your second plot, PuNk:

Due to new hygenic regulations of the modern times, the black plague can easily be treated with heavy antibiotics, if I remember right. However, in unhygenic conditions, it can spread like wildfire. Rats carry the disease via blood-sucking fleas; a bunch of plague-infected rats are released, and the pestilience begins behind both sides of the war in a biowarfare attack gone WRONG.

My two cents. *lays bait*

I'm game for any of the three, as long as 2 doesn't end in zombies.

Same

[Tristan Herman]

I concur with number two, with the first coming in tow.

Where such a bomb would be tested should be within reason, of course/ Say, anywhere in Europe, as a city like New York was much too out of reach for the Axis powers, save for a German insurgency.

There's an idea. Explore the idea of a nationality placing a terror-cell in an opposing nation?

[PuNk! ™]

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't responded before now, still been a tad busy. My suggestions above are only my personal ideas, if you guys think of better plots or different plots altogether, by all means suggest them yourself. This thread is a brainstorming page, I just added my penny's worth.

Anyway, if you're all taking an interest to the second plot, then we can develop on the basis of a terrorism cell/espionage sort of story taking place. If so, if we're all happy with doing this and there's no other suggestions meantime, we need to decide on a few factors for the story, before we can add any real depth.

- To start with, the grounds in which this terrorism/espionage takes place. As mentioned above, Europe in inclined would be the obvious spectrum.

- Once we've settled on a scene for the bomb plot, then we can negotiate down with what characters we're willing and not willing to use.

- Finally we'll get more in depth with the chain of events. So where and when threads will take place. Plus being able to fit all of our casting roles into this plot.

Sound good?
So to begin, we'll have a vote on the soil in which this will take place. Perhaps we could incorporate the second suggestions above too thereafter this story takes place, with the terrorist cell being hunted across Europe?

I vote either; Germany or Sweden this occurs (Sweden being under Nazi rule at this time). Any other ideas?

I'm fine with Sweden, sounds like a plan.

[☭ Joseph Petrov]

Hmm... Sweden sounds interesting.... but perhaps Germany would make it easier for more characters to get involved?

Ideas:
Sweden-
- Perhaps a plot by the resistance to release a disease in a house full of Nazi collaborators?
It then happens to spread...

Germany-
- A chemical weapons factory explodes and releases the chemical which is still being tested so the effect is (until it explodes...) unknown.

Just some more ideas.

[Mac Bargett]

However the plot goes, I'd like to use Gus. Have him run around, investigating the attacks.

Also, Sweden was neutral.

Also, semi-related

[Dirk Riedel]

Sweden under Nazi rule ... since when, again?

dur...

Norway then?

[PuNk! ™]

Sorry I was thinking of Norway/Holland plus the talks of escaping across Switzerland in one of my plots must have scrambled my brain.

Anymore suggestions on where this should take place? I would put my money on Germany, but to make it easier for resistance/partisan groups being able to accomplish a said rogue bomb plot and stand the chance of escaping - perhaps, seems more logical for it to be in an alternate occupied territory. Rather than Germany. Plus, would be more interesting and different to play this out elsewhere.

We could even venture into the mediterranean if nobody fancied windmills and cloggs?

Depending where we end up, I'm open to both Allied or Axis characters to use for this plot. We just need to agree on a place first.
~Danny

[Mac Bargett]

Perhaps we should see which characters everyone wants to use before deciding on the location.

[PuNk! ™]

Sure. However, I think people are going to have to be a bit flexible in order for this story campaign to even work. May be a little difficult to allow everyone's desired characters to take part, so depending on the location this took place, it would make it slightly easier to negotiate the cast and desired characters roles.

I am happy to use either my German lieutenant or one of my British officers. Obviously it depends on demand for Axis or Allied roles, even neutral roles. Only roles I feel will be redundant during this story, are Russian Soviet characters. Otherwise, it's filtering who wants to be what and play what!
