Rocket Chaos
Hey guys! Time for a ~ROUTE 29 GROUP DISCUSSION~
We know everyone's been rather on-edge about the recent plot, and a lot of you have been coming up with neat ideas, so I figured we could all discuss them, either with us or amongst each other!
The current Rockets Who Agreed To Go, and the New Rockets, will be sent on the Goldenrod Tower's mission.
But what about the ones kept in that dingy room? Their fate is in your hands... somewhat. This isn't a "one option fits all" sort of vote, but rather a heads-up poll on what will be going on. After all, some Grunts aren't fighting back, and some are plotting to escape. so for this, we'd like your input on what you want to happen, and what you want for your characters.
○ These are just the bare bones options; the discussion is there to help us all flesh them out!
Option A: You decide to stay as a Rocket. Later this week, one of the Executives will offer you another mission, and so you choose to accept it and carry on with this mission, you will stay with them.
Option B: You decide to accept the mission but use it as a means to escape. ie. Say the mission is to go to Violet City and steal new eggs. You could go via helicopter to Violet City and then just run off or hide away and ignore Rocket messages.
Option C: Break out. With enough plotting and determination, characters could probably team up and take down the grunt and his pokémon in order to escape. Feel free to plot together on how to take him down or scheme,
Option D: Be broken out. We know there's a few groups apparently planning to break into Rocket HQ to save their buddies. A break-out would mean not only compromising the base but also going up against other, stronger Rockets (most likely NPCs) and breaking through a giant, very powerfully-built door.
Option E: An Ultimatum: serve or be served. Either you can loyally choose to become a rocket (by taking the first option), or be exiled and publically outed as a rocket. Arianna makes an announcement open on the PokéConnect with your face and name, to announce that you are a rocket, meanwhile they possibly use a Hypno to erase half of your memories of the Team Rocket and the HQ (how much or how little is up to the individual players, but must contain where the booby traps are and the appearances of the Executives) and drop your confused self in a very random city.
Option F: None of the above, in which you give us lovely input on what you think would be fun or logical for your character!
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Rocket Grunts who break out, escape, or otherwise leave the Team Rocket will be REMOVED from Team Rocket. Arianna is weeding out traitors, and characters who leave will not be allowed back, at least not right now. Their statuses will all change from "Rocket Grunt" to "Trainer" (or "Breeder" if you specify). They won't start over in New Bark Town or be given Trainer Guides or aprons, they'll just be removed from the Rocket Network and formally placed as a default affiliation.
Also please remember that with all of these options, the timing will be left up to you, the players! On Friday, we will have a post up early with the next phase of the Goldenrod Takeover and the offered mission for the imprisoned Rockets, for those who choose Option A or B. Options C and D can be plotted and planned and possibly started as early as this weekend if everyone's on board.
Or if there are any other ideas you may have, any kinks you want to work out, feel free to shoot them at us and each other as well! And we'll see by Friday which ones work and which ones don't and hopefully get this chaos on the road!
ETA: ALSO, feel free to consider this a plotting post! By all means, discuss amongst yourselves!
