Since everyone will probably want to pitch in ideas for the group that they run in the first place c:for sure! we want to be very transparent with our community, and this includes plots. we definitely aren't going to push plots the community dislikes, and community feedback will be a big part in any staff-constructed plots!
Natural disasters are usually good, but I haven't seen a clanwide plot that like causes a war between all the groups, or aspects of betrayal. I'm not really good when it comes to clanwide plots honestly xD

I totally am down with the whole "creative freedom" thing. I mean. It's important. You do you, boo. But since there's absolutely no rules (or very loose rules besides like no god moding or whatever), things feel a little... aimless. A good story needs drive and conflict and while it is great to see people doing it manually, it'd be super cool to see the staff step up and start a site wide (maybe clan wide chapters?) story to kick start lore to the site.i 100% agree with this! the roleplay definitely feels aimless and flat without a story. i had a lore idea in mind that ive kind of been,, already building off of, if that makes sense? i'll likely be typing out my ideas in the next week or so, probably when my classes ends, and i'll definitely be getting staff/community feedback on it

another idea related to that is a character of mine "simon" could visit everyone from each clan, offering special medicine that could help but only makes it worse, speeding up the process of the virus. he disappears and leaves hints for the clans to have to figure out and search for the special ingredient from each clan that will create the new medicine.

while I don't have a drive to do anything official on the site, I do pride myself in coming up with complex story lines. I would love to offer my assistance in writing a site lore and maybe even timed events and sort. I'm better at writing outside text than character text anyways.
