I had a plot recently? That was ages ago, and dude we lined up for them ages ago. Can you please not make lists and then simply void them because you suddenly feel like you wanna have a plot immediatly because it's written in all caps? Why is Sanure suddenly all high up in the list when ten plots were queued up long before Sanure voiced interest in running a plot? That is not fair for those of us who have been waiting in line. Just because he send you the complete spoilers, so you can run it when Sanure is gone?

not fair.

I dont want to hand out spoilers, because frankly I have the time to GM stuff, and should I not have the time, I dont really want smurf to just improvise around. And also, because Smurf is also a player

I'd like to respectfully disagree on the point of not handing spoilers to Smurf. He is the GM after all, and he's on at better hours than you for running things a lot of the time.

[Akroma]

well, he obviously gets stats when the time comes, to get the stats approved. But not outcomes or backstory or motivations.

but SPAAAAAACE...

Nah, USEC will probably have to wait.

Relatively speaking, you had one recently. Some people haven't had a chance to run one of theirs at all. Then again, those people are fairly inactive, so you'll be bumped forward if they scamper off.

[USEC_OFFICER]

...

I was going to have to wait anyways, especially since I'm not ready to GM it yet, so I don't see how this changes anything.

[Rolepgeek]

Whoa, yeah, my plot is a lot more forward than it used to be.

Which means I'm not ready enough.

Shit.

I need lore discussions and to decide which one to go for...goddamnit.

That, plus an actual story for the plot, rather than just a 'players defeat X, do Y, then Z happens'. Which means getting people's characters involved, and making sure they have better motivations than Alice getting kidnapped for the Nth time(it's Dalia's fault, I bet).

Yeah, don't really know where you get off using that as an example.

[Rolepgeek]

*kidnapped or injured

Better?

And what do you mean, get off? I don't derive satisfaction from it.

I'm just saying I'd like to create a plot where I can create more than one motive for each character relating to vengeance or protection or 'because-why-not'. I don't say that because I think every plot up til now has done that, I say it because it's actively difficult for me to think of why the player's would get involved if that wasn't the case.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Wait, what? What's Dalia's fault? _{It's totally her fault, isn't it?}

Also, where are Kaiser and Kaotaro right now? Because shipping love triangles I have plans for my plot to make things interesting. Plans which concidently involve shipping.

That's... a really good question, idea, thing. One I have no idea how to address. _{Goddamn it.}

[kj1225]

Greed is my idea. Everyone likes being paid. And this next mission I want to introduce a reason for people to have money. A form of money no one can duplicate since Kaiser is a cheating bastard.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Does this mission also introduce a reason to use this money as opposed to spending Kaiser's money?

[smurfingtonthethird]

Go with loot. Everyone loves loot.

[kj1225]

Yes. Because I noticed that literally no one has changed equipment in a very long time. They don't even maintain their equipment if it does need maintaining.
