P2: IMAC Suggestion and Discussion

[Fate]

As many have already noticed, we're going to be doing a big plot involving IMAC (International Mutant Athletic Competition). Though the name of it may still change slightly. Now, there are going to be events that go with the competition throughout the remainder of this year, all of which will be open for people to sign up and thread with. Each event has a different staffer attached to running it, and they will be the point person. Every staffer will know what's going on though, and we are all aware of the overall arc this plot should be taking and are able to help answer some questions. Fate is still more or less the point person.

Now, what we don't have are the exact details of all the events. So if you can think of some fun ways of having the various mutants compete with one another, we're definitely up for it. If you also want your characters to do something related, let us know. We're willing to work and we want to make sure that this is a fun event for everyone on the board.

Also, if you've any questions as to what this event entails or what's going on, this is the thread to go ahead and ask. Again: every staffer is aware of how this is going down and has a pretty solid idea, so you can take what they have to say.

I will note that all international students are here to compete for their school, which means that they are going to be competing against Bellefonte for the upcoming events. So do keep that in mind. These chars are allowed to stay after the fact, but they will be seen as at least competitors for the duration of the IMAC plot-arc.

Here are some event ideas I thought of, if for nothing else to get the conversation started.

• Various types of footrace, including sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance races, relay runs, and hurdles.
• A Smash Bros tournament.
  
• Steeplechase. This is a type of footrace, but I'm singling it out because it is the best type of footrace.
  
• Jumping events (high jump, long jump, and triple jump)
  
• Throwing events (javelin, discus, and hammer throws, as well as shotput)
• Maybe a decathlon?
• A Smash Bros tournament.
  
• Swimming (with any type of swimming technique allowed, so people with mer-forms or whatever can participate)
• Weightlifting, possibly with different divisions for kids with super strength, and kids with telekinesis or some other weird way of lifting things like magnetism or animated rock monsters or whatever
  
• Some sort of single-combat related event, with A LOT OF RULES so the kids don't kill each other, and possibly with different divisions for kids with different types of powers
• A Smash Bros tournament.
  
• But for real though, some kind of e-sports thing might be fun, especially for kids with something like super-fast reaction times, technology manipulation, mind reading, or some kind of super-brain. (Also a SSBM crew battle between mutant kids and humans invited in from off-campus would be so hype our planet would explode and everyone would die)

Could I possibly make an IMAC exchange student as my first character?

I plan on them staying, but that's really what I want them to be. They were born in Berlin, Germany, and attended academy there since... like, ever, so yeah.

Absolutely, there are no rules as to what type your first character can be unless we state otherwise (student, staff, local, international). More information on that is HERE AND if you have any questions feel free contact any one of the staff members <3

What Kam said definitely works. Just be advised that it can be difficult, especially as these students are going to be set against Bellefonte students for future events, and there is an endpoint where quite a few international students will be heading home.

I see, I have an entire plot laid out for my character that leads to their cousin following them to Bellefonte so if I need to kick anyone's butt in a sports match just tell me so I can keep Emily here.

I don't want to have all that work go down the drain... of course, I can always request a formal transfer if you kick the ass of Berlin's Academy for the gifted.

((And do you have a Skype? I need to get everyone on Skype so I can talk to them individually, and help with plotting ideas.

Right now I am doing an ideas sketch for Animalia, a school club that's going to be established by Jane when she transfers as a teacher for Berlin to a teacher for Bellefonte, it will be based around animal dealing people things.)

PS: Could a school for Germany (Berlin's Academy for the Gifted) be made?

I want eet, bad too.

((Sorry if I'm not supposed to double post, I haven't re-read the rules yet. It's been a while)

Okay, first off:

You should probably take any personal plot ideas to PM or off site. I'd say Chatango, but I believe you've been banned from Chatango because of your spastic behavior, which we are now seeing repeated in thread. If this keeps up, we will delete your threads. Point blank: You need to calm down. we have specific forums for these things, channels to take, and so forth. Read up on our information and follow things.

Second: It's never a good idea to plot things out too far in advanced for a RP site. Even the plot for a lot of the events here is very loose, since who knows how things will go. You are not guaranteed a win in anything, and if you go in thinking you are, you will be sorely disappointed.

Third, while we take suggestions regarding the school, they are, for the most part, already decided. They have been discussed among the staff and worked on for some time. Furthermore, given that there is already a school in Romania and one in England, it is extremely unlikely that we are going to develop yet another in Europe unless we receive a high demand for it. Even then, while we would take suggestions from members, it would be something that would need to be discussed by staff, not randomly added.

Fourth, and I can't reiterate this: read what's been provided. Otherwise we are going to, again, delete what you post and PM you with links and warnings.
