Just curious. >.>

I mean I imagine there is more than just one vial/tube of cure stuff?

They can totally switch sides at the last second. But the second they attack security members, their clearance will be revoked, so they'll be unable to use the elevator. Not what you asked, I know, but I figured I'd make that clear.

As far as stealing it via RP, I'm afraid the research can only be stolen on the grid itself (yes there's more than a vial, but everything that isn't stolen from the hands of the last scientist will be destroyed. Maybe a thumb drive, some papers, and some samples / prototypes). But that'll only happen if people push the slider all the way down to -100%, which will be easier if people RPed it. But no, the short of it is you won't be able to RP being the one who made off with the last remnants of the research unless you're the one who kills the last scientist. This is one instance (the last scientist having the only workable, remaining data) where the grid and the RP must match up. The militia won't be able to access the labs until the blast doors are blown open, so there's no chance of being sneaky in the meantime and pocketing some random research.

But you could totally join the security forces, try to hold off the invaders, and then at the last second decide it's futile, rush in and kill the last scientist on grid and make off with the research before anyone can stop you. That'd make a pretty awesome RP afterwards.

Cool.

So, for example...what sort of things would/could someone rp about? I mean we can't steal the research...which is fine. I'm totally not complaining...but like what could possibly impact the slider in either direction in terms of rp? Like...just a couple examples...cause I'm not sure what is legit or not in terms of impacting things in the rp spectrum of stuff (but totally want to rp stuff >< ).

He attacked someone that signed up for the militia, as well. He's still listed as a member. Wouldn't that automatically remove them?

I teleported them, because they're a dick. The character, not the player.

SO, everyone come on in!

Off the top of my head here...

Against:

- Fighting the guards
- Cutting off their supply lines
- Cutting power to the facility
- Sabotaging other facilities to divide their forces
- Lobbying against the cure
- Hacking in to discover the secrets
- Abducting government personnel to interrogate them to learn their secrets
- Holding people hostage until the government agrees to destroy the cure
- Spreading (possible) lies to say that the cure will kill vampires instead of cure them
- Infinite other possibilities.

For:

- Fighting invading vampires.
- Spreading your views that the attackers are terrorists, plain and simple.
- Recruiting for the militia.
- Treating the wounded.
- Repairing the base.
- Smuggling supplies to soldiers through battle lines.
- Advocating for peace between humans and vampires, and for the violence to stop.
- Advocating for the cure research to continue.
- Tracking down the truth about whether or not the government plans to force it on people.
- Spreading misinformation.
- Spying on the 'against' crowd to get names to pass them onto the government.
- Attempting to ease tensions by going on TV or radio and telling people that not all vampires are a threat.
- Infinite other possibilities.

That's just 5 minutes worth of ideas.

rofl. I said a couple, but cool. So we can do things to the building and characters inside (NPC's mostly) and impact it? That's mostly what I was wondering if you were on the against side.
Question.

Can someone...but one of the experimented on vampire...or humans (thinking they were going to try and turn a human and then try and 'cure' them?

I'm not understanding what you're asking I'm afraid. The brackets threw me off as they don't close, so I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you RP a vampire / human research subject who was 'cured' you mean? If you meant that, the answer would be not just yet. Consider them NPCs for now, because I can't reveal if it truly works or if there are side effects or what it does grid-wise.

Oh, if you were asking can you RP one of the subjects who were experimented on but not cured? Only if it wasn't at this facility, and wasn't done by the same organisation. Saying otherwise would reveal whether or not the subjects were tested willingly.

Sorry about the brackets.

I mean...can someone play an escaped human or vampire...that was in the process that isn't cured or wasn't experimented on, but escaped.

There was a thing in the emails saying there was an experiment who hasn't checked in, in a while. So curious if anyone could have escaped (or even a small group).

I could see that going two ways... either David would have to give specfic details to the person RPing an escaped subject from HR facility so that they would understand the "inner workings," which puts them at an advantage in who they speak with, give intell to, etc.

OR, they make it up as they go along and the plot gets twisted with details that David never intended. Which, would potentially muddy the waters.

Also...

The escaped subject (Subject 025 in the emails, I think?) would come from the facility. So, it would need to be a subject that wasn't involved in the HR testing, but one that possibly escaped from a facility somewhere else in the world. If I am reading this correctly...

You'd be assuming they were there without their consent. I can't reveal if that's true or not.
