EVENTS & VIRUS SUGGESTIONS POST

RULES AND INFORMATION PLEASE READ

» Please be as detailed as possible so everyone can understand. A virus explanation that isn't clear is liable to lose that virus votes during polling.

» IF YOUR VIRUS NEEDS TO BE SCHEDULED AT A SPECIFIC TIME, CONTACT A MOD AND IT CAN BE PUT ON THE CALENDAR. OTHERWISE, IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO POLLING.

» Please don't just suggest a virus on a whim, make sure you've thought it through! We end up with such a massive backlog that we'll never get through them.

» Yays, nays, and suggestions are okay, but in-depth plotting should be done elsewhere. Please take personal conversations to IM, to stop page cluttering.

» The virus with the lowest number of votes during polling will be removed. There's no rule against re-submitting it (if for example you know it had support and it was just that specific month was bad timing), but given the amount of suggestions we get, it's just not feasible to leave them all on the poll.

» The mods reserve the right to veto or edit any virus or event.

» Any event that the characters themselves will be orchestrating, such as Death's Picnic, a Halloween party, or a bar crawl, are NOT events for the purposes of this post. Permission is not needed to run such events. However, if you know the event is going to be of a considerable size, please avoid scheduling it alongside other viruses or major events to prevent comm flooding.

» Any event or virus (NOT a personal event or virus) that would require mod approval for sensitive subject matter also goes here. It will be treated as its permission comment.

Other
Virus Add-On: Extension

» Please use the following form to suggest a virus or event:

Virus or Event?:
VIRUSES: Affect a character physically or mentally. Includes fake-memory viruses. Examples: Pokemon virus, Alignment virus, High School AU Virus.
EVENTS: Involve characters doing something, often against their will. Examples: Portal event, Assassins event. They are not planned by the characters.
Canon-based happenings eg Shadow Plot will 90% of the time be events, as the emphasis will be on doing something, and outside of the characters' control.)
Duration: (For viruses, between 1 - 4 days, apart from in exceptional circumstances. Please specify. For events, up to 5 days, apart from in exceptional circumstances. Please specify.)
Description: (DETAIL YOUR VIRUS OR EVENT HERE. Sell it! Be clear and precise and make it SHINE~!)
Anything else: (Anything else we need to know regarding your virus or event, eg 'will cause permanent scarring', 'no magic heal after it's over', 'feelings of attachment will be permanent'.)

Handy-dandy textbox for you to copypasta!

Virus or Event?: An event… I think…
Duration: It could probably be best to go for the full 5 days with it!
Description: Okay, after getting a bit of a positive response to this on plurk, I’m gonna give a shot at putting this out there…

TL;DR: what if DDD was a semi-jamjar with a vague semblance of an overall plot?

Actual TL;DR: What if there’s an AU out there where the community, being the constantly developing sentient program it is, became even more invasive in the lives of its members? The viruses, the candid camera, the forcing people to post, it was all just the beginning. Pretty soon, the community begins sucking some of its members inside its coding, trapping them in a data world. At first it only starts with characters who’ve died in their canons or during the events of their stay on the comm (so, anyone who’s averted a canon death like Lockon or Ten, for example), but soon enough other people from all the worlds the community’s connected to start to get dragged inside as well.

The data world is probably similar to the sort of thing going on in Tron, although I imagine it’d have loads of sections based on all the worlds the community’s connected to and visually be a bit of an anachronism soup. Characters inside would literally be made out of data, so they’d be susceptible to actual computer viruses, corruption, deletion, etc. Also, SHODAN would be a physical threat that would show up and cause real problems for everyone inside the code every once in a while, virus programs would look and act like Heartless or Shadows or Witches or other enemies from the worlds the community’s connected to…. stuff like that.

Characters inside the data world can’t escape it, but they can still communicate with characters left on the outside, who would use the community in much the same way as they do in actual DDD; they’d still be living in their own worlds and able to world-hop, etc. For the last part of the event, though, the community would start doing the opposite of what it did at the start; rather than pulling characters into its code, it would start encroaching outwards on the physical worlds, seeking to turn the multiverse into a huge data world. BECOME ONE WITH THE COMMUNISTY, BASICALLY. And I guess the event would ideally end with the characters involved finding a way to reverse the community’s mad bid for reality absorption?

BASICALLY DDD suffers from a case of Cerberus jamjar syndrome for 5 days and drags the characters along for the ride. Whatever way it ends up, things go back to normal after the event ends, effectively making this 5 days of a game AU!
Anything else: I realize this may sound a bit complicated, but hopefully it’s something the mods might think is a viable idea to play with!
