fandomhigh_ooc | BDE Finale planning!

Hello, everyone who is in a hole and everyone who is not! We're about a week out now, so it's time to talk about our summer BDE finale!

It's pretty simple, really: you just have to find the Trash King and convince him to leave. He's just a raccoon! How hard can it be?

. . . Well, he's a raccoon with a king quadcopter. Which is a giant raccoon themed drone with a crown on it that spits exploding mines and concrete blocks. So, uh. Maybe a little bit hard.

On Sunday, July 11, one lucky raccoon will have earned enough points holing people (I bet he got bonuses for those canons!) to get a catapult attachment, meaning not only can he swallow things up, he can spit them back out! He'll have a grand old time with this, until Wednesday, July 14, when a team of investigators will manage to catch and interrogate him, and discover that the mastermind behind all this hole-y nonsense is hiding out in the preserve! (This is already being preplayed.)

On Thursday, July 15, a post will go up for anyone who wants to to go do recon, sneaking their way into the Trash King's compound, a giant dumpster made of scrap and trash, where raccoons are performing Important Trash Experiments . . . mostly involving trying to feed scraps of hole-d food to various hole-d wildlife -- though watch out, because they might just get holed themselves while they're in there! In town, planning will surely commence to launch a proper attack on the compound! And on Friday, July 16, the time will come to attack!

So I'm looking for a bunch of fight-happy people to take on the King Quadcopter outside the compound while a few wiley negotiators sneak in, find the Trash King, and convince him to leave Fandom alone already.

Then, Saturday, July 17, that handy-dandy catapult function will be used to launch all those in the hole back up to the surface, along with all their chaotically mixed up worldly goods! The Trash King will move on to greener, less canny pastures, and Fandom can get to what it does best: cynically recovering from bizarre trauma and rebuilding.

Sign up below for our fight team and negotiators! And a headcount for infiltrators, so I know whether I need to recruit anyone to assist in NPCing lab raccoons. . . .

In case you got 'em

Silly question, but is the Trash King's Compound something that's being constructed currently? Do we have a firm idea of where it is geographically on the island?

And could it easily be dismissed as a pile of trash? (She asked, having had her hero character patrol three times in the past week looking for clues, lol.)

It is under construction, yes! It’s tucked away in the preserve, near the old campsite. And it could ABSOLUTELY be mistaken for an ordinary junk pile at the moment.

I have a different dumb question, now!

Once Saturday hits, are we being catapulted out of a large hole back up to the surface? Is it possible for people who have their own means of flying to just fly out, or is the catapult mandatory?

You are welcome to fly out the stable open hole on Saturday if that is your preference! Those who can’t fly will be catapulted.

Question - has it already been determined/figured out how the team above ground finds the Trash King's hideout? If not, I had an idea but didn't want to step on toes if that part has already been established OOClY :D

There’s a plan, but it doesn’t have to be the plan. What’s your idea?

Well, i was playing fortnite the other day and had a thought. They have dumpsters you can hide in throughout the map. Some of them are special and are actually connected to other dumpster- so you jump into one and get spit out of another somewhere else on the map. So maybe there's a dumpster on Fandom that is like the secret entrance to the Trash King's liar. People jump into it and end up at the hideout. Maybe they see racoons going in and not coming out and someone 'volunteers' to jump in- they dont come back so everyone else just follows and that's how they end up finding him LOL

Ooo, that's a neat idea! But I don't know if it quite fits this particular plot. But I feel like that definitely needs to be a thing for actual dumpsters around the island, just like. Randomly. ;D

That's sounds good too- whatever works :D I thing teleporting dumpsters (they also have the same for some of the port-a-pots around the map in-game too) could add some interesting elements to the island LOL

With subthreads!

For anyone who thinks they might want to sneak into the compound next Thursday. This is a headcount only, plans may well change!

But hey, if you're signed up for a week three holing, this might be a good chance to get it done. . . .

Alara can help with the infiltrating

I feel like I can't not have Rosa help infiltrate.

For those who want to fight a GIANT RACCOON DRONE WITH BOMBS

This is also basically a headcount, and will be live-played on Friday.

Hi.

And he kind of hates me for it, but I'm tentatively signing Shunsui up for fighty times, mwa ha ha.

(Also, I maybe just remembered that he's hole-proof because he can fly and teleport like a weirdo and I'm a little mad about it right now lol)

Summer and Prompto, too, with, like, allll the shooty-shoots, although this is very tentative because my involvement will be heavily determined by forces I can't predict right now. XD

Miguel is definitely here!

Yang plz!

Looking for a few folks to try to talk down the Trash King himself! This will be limited to three or four people and will be RNG'd if necessary, and potentially preplayed, to be posted next Friday.

Have a Steve and an Anakin here because they are ~~awful at it~~ both trained negotiators!

Grogu should help out here, really

So weirdly satisfying.

Do you get to play the hole in this?

Yep! You just swoop around swallowing things up and occasionally Rube Goldberging other things into the holes

OMG. I may need to try this game.

It's fantaaaaaaaaaaaastic and such a satisfying little stress reliever. Feel bad? JUST THROW THINGS DOWN A HOLE

Edited 2021-07-09 19:07 (UTC)

Yeah I'm gonna have to try this at some point- if nothing else than to get the point of view from OUTSIDE THE HOLE hehehe :P
