defense force things!

[swordfucker]

Hello everyone! Now that my work week is over I can make this post about the proposed defense force! Guren made a post about it here since a handful of characters were interested in it at the town hall meeting.

OOCly, I mostly want it to be a chance for people to get more CR and have more ways to thread! Patrols were something that were mentioned by more than one character, so Guren will gladly assign people for those. So, I'll assume Guren is assigning those, but if you'd like your character to be on a group with any specific other character(s), then let me know here! New people showing up will ICly delay this announcement, anyway, so you have plenty of time to let me know.

Also, I'd love to hear any ideas about what else we can do with this. I could put up a post on Guren's journal of characters who signed up, if there's interest in keeping track of that & what characters on the force actually do (like a bullet list, maybe patrol groups listed, any rankings or additional leaders per section, etc), and I was also thinking that maybe monthly or bi-monthly meetings might be a good idea for everyone to ICly discuss how to handle events that keep happening as they learn more. Otherwise, I'll keep throwing ideas out there and seeing what sticks and going off of IC suggestions. The idea is to be organized, efficient, but still what the majority wants, so he'll be relying on input, but a lack of input means he'll take initiative and make suggestions or do things he thinks is right. That's his main role of stepping up!

Feel free to comment/discuss below or just let me know if everything sounds fine so far! Also, if you wanted to have your character join but didn't feel up to tagging my post, just let me know here, too. ♥ Thanks!

I volunteer for tribute!

Nyx will be commenting on the forum as well, but I wanted to officially throw in his sign up oocly. He's not too keen at being under command again atm, considering his Captain of ten years was a filthy traitor who Nyx wants to punch in the face with his kukri, but he's certainly not stepping up to oppose Guren for the role. He just wants to protect all these kids. 8Ia

Raises hand for patrol duty!!

I think if we want more opportunities for CR, maybe the patrol groups can be randomized every so often? If that isn't too much work for you!

Meetings would be good! Opinion-wise, I'm leaning toward bi-monthly just so there's more for them to bring up at each one.

[swordfucker]

Yay Nyx!! Haha, that is a very FAIR REASON to be hesitant... Guren won't be betraying him, though! At least not his human personality (help him)

No, it'll be a great time. C: Protecting the kids is the goal...!!

[swordfucker]

I'd have a blast randomizing patrols every so often if everyone else would be up for it! Either every second or every fourth month? I'm not sure which would be too little or too much.

But yeah, I was leaning towards bi-monthly for that same reason! I'll see if anyone else has thoughts on that.

[inheritance]

We could ask and see what everyone else prefers for the randomizing!

Awesome. Thanks for organizing all of this!

[swordfucker]

I'll wait to see if anyone chimes in here!

And no problem, it is a blast for me, ofc hehe

[thriftea]

hi, dad

can two of guren's children (shouto and ochako) be put in the same patrol group for this first round? if it's not too much trouble?

for housekeeping things, i like the idea of bi-monthly meetings + randomizing the groups every two months! keepin' it fresh.

[swordfucker]

of course!!! buds on a team

also great, thanks for the input!!

[satanslash]

you know rin is in for this

also please smack him upside the head for his stupid

he'll probably be good for patrols but also down for whatever guren wants to stick him at

[swordfucker]

I think everyone can probably help out with patrols! If Guren thinks of more tasks for them tho then it'll be more specialized.

How do you feel about bi-monthly meetings and switching up patrol groups then too?

[satanslash]

Sounds like a damn good plan to me :D

[parodeity]

bimonthly of the once every other month variety (i hate english) works or me!

[swordfucker]

THUMBS UP yes that is the bi-monthly I was meaning

[sirnyxalot]

Ngl I'm looking forward to the day this demon thing blows up and I hope their CR is good enough that Nyx doesn't just go for the 'kill him' option.

Because....that's a very real possibility. /sweats

No but hell, give Nyx a section to take care of and possibly even people to help direct because he's very good at it.

[swordfucker]

bond with him!!! I'll just have guren fall into his arms a few more times, that'll win him over

but yes, tbh nyx is a responsible adult so this is likely!!

[youwillbeunequaled]

I also hate the word bi-monthly - I keep thinking twice-a-month first /o\

Seconding meeting every other month and randomized (with room for requests) patrols o7

Thanks for organizing all this ooc-ly as well and being so open for suggestions!
If I ever think of anything helpful I'll for sure let you know.

[swordfucker]

And thank youuuu for the input!! c:

I AM LATE TO THE PARTY BUT NANJO WOULD super be into the defense force.

I don't have much to contribute yet but I think since Mitsuru is gone, Nanjo will try to keep the town meetings active so they could definatly talk about the Defence force next time there is one

[swordfucker]

yes that's good! Encourage anyone to join or etc, all is excellent

[sirnyxalot]

Will confirm: the Damsel-in-Distress tactic is a confirmed success into his good graces. He'll be more likely to protect you than kill you. /thumbs up!

[swordfucker]

I'LL HAVE TO BUG NYX whenever Mika Actually Stabs Guren,

[sirnyxalot]

LMAO “Bugged”.

Guren gets stabbed and is just like ‘sorry to bother you’. This is an accurate image of rp life.
