For Hackers and Mindscapers: More Info
As of this post, the Doctor has broken up the hacking volunteers into separate groups. This has the IC benefit of being able to focus the work on multiple areas at once, and the OOC benefit of being a clever plot to get everyone new CR. mwahaha.
So, what now?
Once upon a time in Bete Noire, I ran a similar group that was focused on solving Science Problems and finding a way out of the city. Since none of us are wizards or science geniuses in real life (I'm pretty sure), the technical parts were mostly handwaved, leaving the interactions between characters as in-between-experiments CR building. It was then assumed that as time passed, Science was done and Stuff Happened as a result. We'd make up any necessary technobabble as we went.
That's basically what's gonna go down here. Each group of three is working on trying to hack a Net Box while liaising with the other groups. On Day 191 (Oct 20-22), some aspect of their efforts will click, and something - only the mods know, at this point - will happen.
ICly, this is less than a week after they started, but I figure with the minds we've got collaborating on the project, that's not an unreasonably short amount of time.
And then, Mindscapes.
On Day 192 (Oct 23-25), I'll be putting up a meme-style post in the logs comm for people to post their mindscapes to. ICly, the blackout will happen in mid-day, whether your character is asleep or awake, as long as they have their ear piece in. It'll last only a short time, but since the characters are dreaming, there's room for as many threads as people want to do.
Feel free to put any restrictions on your thread header you like: OTA, X number of responses only, locked to certain people (if you've planned it out beforehand). I want this to be cool and groovy for everyone.
Any questions, you know what to do.
