RANGER REWORK
I've been alluding to it since I came back and it's starting to come together. As the Battle of Sathad'Ra comes to a close and the landscape on Zonju V is shifted I'm going to have the Ranger's start on new footing that will allow tons of opportnities for fun, fighting, and most importantly a chance for all of you to help be a part of the Ranger legacy on Zonju V and throughout the galaxy.
BATTLE OF SATHAD'RA
Speaking of that battle it is nearly finished. I'll be making another big post soon which will wrap things up then a post after that to bring some conclusion. With that in mind do try to get a post in this cycle for the benefit of your character. Rangers will be fleeing in this final chapter to several areas, but the two major ones are going to be Saloon City, the new Ranger base, and Zion an ancient mountain vault discovered a while back that dates all the way back to Aran's day.
For reference purposes the battle thread is here. Get cracking so we can finish and start the next chapter.
CHANGES SO FAR
Our roster got big again! I've made some small alterations to the roster, the Token Shop has been closed indefinitely so the roster now indicates how many bounties you have taken down. Also instead of division it lists badges. Badges are earned by doing missions for the new groups which leads us to...
Waste Ranger Partners are the official replacement for divisions. The division system was more or less really awful and bad. It had a solid framework idea, but it divided us when I intended it to bring us together.
Some of the major differences between Divisions and Partners:
- You can work with all partners without commiting to any
- Some Partners missions get you credit with two or more partners
- Assets in Partner groups are gained and created by you
- Going up in 'rank' is more or less story fluff but don't be afraid to get creative
- Each partner has a focus but they all synthesize into a singular goal
- You can create more notable npcs, assets, and even bases for your favorite Partner group
Notable NPCs
You may notice some new smiling faces in that lot, feel free to use them in any rp on Zonju V or where they might be logically found. If anything major happens to them tell me so I might add it to their description.
CHANGES IN THE WORKS
Missions: I'm working on them don't you worry. One thing I'm doing differently is there will no longer be linear missions nor tiered missions. You can join any mission at any time. I'll be creating a thread to turn in your mission after you complete it, think of it as a report after completing a project, tell me what you did, who you did it with (NPCs. or allied PCs), and what you gained or lost.
Waste Ranger History: I'll be adding a new section after The day of Salt and Tears to fill in the gap between then and the soon to be now
Saloon City: I'll be changing up the Saloon section of our subboard to illustrate the destruction of the old Saloon and the creation of Saloon city. In this city I'll be asking all of you to come forward with some bit of detail so we can all have a bit of ourselves in what I hope becomes the social mecca of the Rangers. This detail can be a tavern, a bit of geography, or even cultural practices like sports or other pastimes.
Changes to Sathad'Ra: Those following the battle closely should realize Sathad'Ra is changing a lot too and that will be reflected
Changes to Zonju V: I'll be reworking some cities in order to set up a new story arc that will be shaped soon enough.
Now comes the part of the Gazette known as:
THE CLASSIFIEDS
[floatleft]http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee378/bogorham/UncleSamVolunteerA.jpg[/floatleft]This is the section where I get to grovel and beg for your help! LOL. This is where I turn it over to the members of the Waste Rangers to assist in creating the Tech, missions, and bounties that make up the awesomeness that is the Waste Rangers. I will tell you up front. I withhold the ability to alter and or change any submission given. I will be an asshole about it and make you're life miserable, jk just don't be stupid and make dumb things or I'll squish you. I will be sure to talk out any changes with the creator before out right altering the work of another. Your opinions (don't) matter and the missions, tech, and bounties you create (really don't) matter just as much!
Currently, The Ranger's are in need of:
Mission Ideas- After the battle were going to be getting rid of almost all the old missions so any arcs or mini missions you can create would be very helpful. You can use the quote function in order to get the template from any of the mission topicsDetails for Saloon City- Just start formulating now. I'll have the basic description of Saloon city up soon!
Honorary Rangers and Most Wanted- Any character on this site can be part of the Ranger story. If you want to help us or hinder us your efforts will be recognized. Evil people who want to see their face on a wanted poster come on down and good guys who want a free drink also come on and join us!
Saloon Locations- One thing well need to do as we spread out with missions is create Saloons on other worlds to spread our model of justice. Think of possible strategic locations we can set up and I'll keep that in mind for missions
