[Closed] For good paperworkers and RP-ers

[Arachnidnexus]

Maybe a skeletal framework/timeline of events that we can fill in fluff around? Something like:

June 6 - initial discovery of xeno eggs
June 14 - samples mysteriously escaped containment
June 16 - first person goes missing
June 18 - disappearances become prevalent
June 21 - first drone spotted
etc.

Then we could help fill the gaps by inserting things like who we suspect sabotaged containment, what happened to missing people, etc. So people could become more anti-WY over the course of it while others could blame outside corporate espionage, etc.

I'd be happy to help out.

[Seehund]

Definitely interested, I'd love to lend a hand.

In the current lore I've written, I had the idea that Patient Zero was discovered hours after infection, the Xeno was kept captive, as ordered by WY, and it escaped, resulting in an outbreak. Of course, that's subject to change, and seems to reminiscent of the most recent AvP game.

[Arachnidnexus]

Could have a mix of ideas. Like the original facehuggers could have been kept under observation but one faction could have been fed instructions by WY to unleash them and capture fellow scientists as experimental subjects. That should allow for some more inter-personal conflict, paranoia, and misdirection. It'd be cool to have conflicting accounts so that nobody is really sure on who was exactly behind what.

[UnknownMurder]

Save your ideas until meeting.

[Infernus]

I think we have enough people now. Others are still free to join.
If you wish to participate, add me on skype (vanja_poljak444), and I will add you to the group.

In that chat, you can discuss about anything related to this topic.

[N8-Toe]

I could write the command/Engineering stuff like protocall stuffs

[Infernus]

Something is wrong with the skype link, so add me (vanja_poljak444) on skype and I'll add you to the group.

[Infernus]

I'd totally participate and donate a few years of writing to this project if you donate a little bit of the theme basis in text. I can probably shit out some fluff to help to key in that immersion.

The Skype group chat has a link that will provide you with screens, examples and general stuff on what to write about, which you can access at any time~

So this is to just create a massive back story for the Ice colony,is this correct with just writing a bunch of things about the ice colony and how the entire infestation occurred?

[Infernus]

The point of this is to create a full backstory of the ice planet and colony created there. Alien autopsies, artifact studies, alien theory mixed with personal opinion about the work that IC characters did there will be all included with the map.

Not only will this create a valid reason for this map, but it will create an unique atmosphere and many more possibilities for IC actions, such as WY ordering the liason to destroy any evidence of the said research report and such.

Research logs and personal blogs will start from the colony creation, till the last second when the infestation began, as well as an reason on how it started.

[TopHatPenguin]

Would be nice to see some other possible test subjects as well that have gone wrong in these research notes besides the xeno stuff.
Perhaps they tried enhancing human biology with different parts of animals or something along those lines.

[Infernus]

Everything is possible. Apophis is the one who should decide about the main lore tho.

[Vinny]

Very interesting, Im in.

[MikeHdez97]

I am not good at writting,but i can contribute with few ideas right here

[Mitchs98]

I'm definetely interested. I'll hafta wait till tommorrow to do anything tho.

[Takov]

I'm very much green to this community (only been playing for a few months I believe) but I'd love to contribute. If possible I'd like to be a Virologist of sorts.

[Jdobbin49]

sounds good i am up for contributing for this

[Shadow]

I'm up for this, fully willing to become a contributor.

[Complete Garbage]

I'd love to help work on this, but will there be an editor/reviewer that makes sure nothing is conflicting with other people's stuff/CM lore? If there isn't already, I love reading and would be glad to take up that role, as well as contributing my own work for the project.

[Infernus]

Alright, this is it. The last spot was filled.
Thank you all for helping!

awww this sounds fun to help with, unfortunate that there are already lots of people.
