IMPORTANT POST: READ OR SKETCH'S KITTENS WILL GET EATED. :O
I have tags, I know, but in light of all the new and returning players we've got coming on I decided to make some changes that will hopefully make everyone's life easier in the future. SO I will get back to your tags as soon as I'm done with the mod stuff. <3
IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO KNOW is that I am moving all of the ooc informational stuff from way back when off of the comm and onto our own personal ghpinfo journal. It is my hope that once I'm done with said journal, you'll be able to point people to it to find everything they need to know about how to function in the GHP 'verse without hopping all over cyberspace. This means that yes, some posts will be deleted off of this comm, meaning broken links and all sorts of funky things, but the good news is that you personally won't have to do any of the moving of any of your information, as I'll be copypasta-ing it directly from the comm into the journal.
As soon as the journal is done, I'll put up another ooc post here to let you know everything/anything I need you to do, because with great movement comes great need to make sure everyone knows what they need to. I'll try to make it as painless as possible, promise.
Moving on from that, ATTACKS PLOT. I know some of you new (and likely the not-so-new, too) players are confused as to what the heck's going on with that, and I'll admit to you that I'm a little lost for exactly where we're going to go from here, but we're going to fix that right now!
SO, recap of what's gone down with the attacks:
I'm going to have Shang put up a post calling all the Project members to have a team meeting sort of thing at his place. This will be logged and put in the comm like the dinner party/housewarming (see the !!log tag for more info) and is going to have to result in them forming some plan of action. I'll do the SWS post after I'm done with the mod stuff and the log after more or less everyone checks in in the SWS post.
In the interim, if you want your character to be attacked, just put up a post in SWS/your journal and link to it. You can have it where they're just staggering out after the attack and people find them, or if you want to thread out the actual attack itself I'm planning on making an NPC account so I can thread that with you. Keep in mind the points we mentioned about the attackers/attacks if you choose to do this. Also try to keep the attacks to one character per day-- also, typically if your character's been attacked it's unlikely it'll happen again, but I suppose we can do doubles if needed.
Now for plans: If any of you guys have ideas as to where the Project members can go from here, I'd love to hear them. Personally, I was thinking that in order to wrap up the attacks plot a rescue of some sort is going to happen, during which intel will be gathered about why the attacks are happening (aka, that the people calling them together did it and that it was a test (or similar)) and within a few days after that all the Project members will be contacted back to the Facility and the real dirty work may begin. If we went this way, I was going to have Miller here more or less tell the other members that she's going to make a tracking device out of her straw, stick it on herself and when she's attacked and taken she'll do some information finding of her own as she can (because she was trained to be one of the spies of the group, though she doesn't like to remember it,) but the others will have to come and get her and during that big bash they'll find out what's going on, etc.
However, I know the rest of y'all have brilliant and imaginative minds and may want to go another way with this so please please PLEASE guys, respond to this, tell me what you think the plan should be. Even if you're just +1-ing mine or someone else's ideas, every bit of input counts. Pretty much all of this is flexible and this is y'all's party, so HIT ME with ideas and we can get things going.
And now that I've got that lovely TL;DR going on, I'll stop talking, get back to finish up mod stuff, and you can tell me what you think~

SO, recap of what's gone down with the attacks:
- The Project members do NOT know this, but the attackers have been sent in by the mole in the new group of Project managers to try to take down the Project members. This has since been discovered by the head of the investigative team/new group, who was NOT previously in the Project and therefore is not a villain, and the mole has been forced to justify his/her actions by saying that it is a test of the Project members mettle, to see if they are up for the task ahead of them. If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say mole or investigative team, etc., it is IMPERATIVE that you read this post. I am not joking, you need to know this stuff.
- The attackers typically carry weapons with them and are highly trained. With the powers vested in me as a mod, I am going to say that there are three different ones that the Project members may encounter: One is as good with knives as Red and Grumpy are, and is lithe, almost cat-like with their movements. One is bigger/bulkier and prefers to use blunt instruments like clubs. One is of average stature and build, prefers hand-to-hand combat and is good at it. All three wear all black outfits that completely cover any discernible features.
- Attacks typically happen at night/late afternoon/early evening and when the victim is alone and usually going on a path they have taken at least once before, implying that the attackers have been watching. For this reason, it has been spread among the Project members that it's best not to go out alone and at night. How well your character follows that is up to you.
- Mulan was first attacked, Shang shortly after, then Tailor and Kissy. For the sake of continuity I'm going to say that, other than with Mulan's (whose attack was just a warning/message to the Project members) in all the other attacks the attackers were actively trying to knock the victim unconscious and try to take them to some mysterious unknown. Tailor & Kissy-muns, hope you don't mind? If you do we can just nix that, but I figure this'll be easier.
- Piggy's brothers were nabbed and Piggy is trying to find them.
- Shang is/was working with Miller's King to figure out a solution to the attacks. Anyone else interested/with suggestions should talk to Shang ICly.
I'm going to have Shang put up a post calling all the Project members to have a team meeting sort of thing at his place. This will be logged and put in the comm like the dinner party/housewarming (see the !!log tag for more info) and is going to have to result in them forming some plan of action.
