Player Plots
Player plots are plots that have a large enough reach to require some sort of sign up, or would be difficult for those not directly involved to ignore, or need some sort of NPC/mod involvement.
Examples of player plots include:
Please submit player plots at least a week or two in advance of when you'd like to run it. In the event something happens suddenly that would escalate to a player plot, please let us know as soon as possible.

I present to you: World Domination via TikTok, yes seriously, and I'm so sorry about this derailment.
Back in late August I asked in the FAQ page about the feasibility of having Tim create a social media following surrounding some anonymous accounts posting Real Magic for the masses. Since his arrival, he's become privy to magic/powered individuals who have either used their powers around him, or referenced having done so in the game's setting. Seeing no immediate threat of these individuals murdering or terrorizing (in the way he'd assume poses serious or ample harm), and especially with no immediate, horrible, other-worldly consequence of Fenix Down Extravaganza performing in the city, he'd be inclined to begin exposing the general public to small doses of magic and the supernatural. Why?
Because he wants to help the people of this world more than he wants to help ADI, and he thinks ADI keeping this shadow war uh in the shadows ultimately is hurting more than helping. If magic exists, why not alert the people? Why not give them some opportunity to fight back? Why keep it all for ADI to figure out? In his universe, superpowers, alien invasions, gods throwing tantrums and ripping open the fabric of space-- someone will alert the local PD at least to help with the logistics of sorting through and controlling so many human variables, in times of crisis. Tim thinks he wants that sort of fall-back: he wants some people to be able to help themselves, in case he, they, ADI, fail to offer that protection.
Can't help yourself if you don't know what you need saving from. And should shit hit the fan, Tim wants an audience that won't just scoff at the idea of the supernatural being real.
So enters the micro-dosing. He's not in a rush to get it done but he does want it done. He'd want to build a page/pages/"brand" showcasing clips of controlled magic. He could add convincing enough effects, to start with a show that's plausibly just well edited fx footage and also fix up any distortion/blurs/statics that comes with recording the supernatural with a mundane lens. With any considerable growth of views/followers (who he would like to cyberstalk to keep track of) his plan would be to leave the magic more raw as time progresses. End goal would be to yes, convince some of the general public that the magic/supernatural is real. All shorts would be filmed away from Gloucester proper, on burner tech, posted through public wifi, will be queued to post on random hours/days, will not show voice or face/body of whoever he'd convince to join in the act etc
Because he'd want to lean in to his Bat compulsions of stalking folks, he'd want to track any missing or odd-acting online followers, he'd want to know what new scary stories of the supernatural pop up through the grapevine which may be related to Magic on the Internet. With something drastic, he'd be quick to pull the plug-- but yeah, basically: Anything that could potentially expose the supernatural to the wider world. What are we missing to make this disaster happen.
