POWER STRUGGLE

**Planned series of three+1 missions**

Classic/Straight

Sign up if you fancey taking part in a set of four interrelated missions. Each mission will have it's own characters provided, so you won't need to be in the first one to be in the second one, etc. The final, fouth mission, however, will only be open to people who have a *surviving character* from one of the other missions. If you have played in two, and survived both, you may choose which one on the characters you use.

There's no date or time yet, hopefully there will be soon enough. In an ideal world, I'd like to have at least 2 players who are unique to each of the first three games. But it doesn't really matter, I'm sure you're all good enough to "put the blinkers on" if you're playing a differant character...

[The following information is not known to ALL of alpha complex. Some specifics are more common knowladge than others. Not all members/firms of all service groups are involved. But the players are, and so here's what you need to know...]

Recently, a top level candidate to take a promotion to Violet level was killed in an unfortunate incident. (For those of you playing THE SYSTEM, this isn't related in the slightest. Not at all. No way hozay). This left a gap, for which there are three candidates. Unfortunalty, as you might expect, these three candidates are all keen that they should take the promotion, and the power and prestidge that comes with it. To these ends, they have pulled around them those people and groups they can trust, and three co-alitions have been formed. So now, as well as the usual bickering abound between firms, groups, secret societies etc etc, there's near to open fighting between the three groups.

Some secret societies are also backing specific coalitions, some are trying to force coalitions appart. Some are playing both sides, and of course, some just don't care.

Internal Security, HPD mind Control (Smith-I-ONI)

Power Services, R&D, Tech Services (Doktor Green-I-HUR (R&D) )

Armed Forces, CPU, PLC (General Ivan-I-DRR (armed forces))

Further information on the whys and wherefores of these alliences may come to light. They may not. They may become more obscured. Hell, you could die before you ever find out who's side you're really on.

Some brief notes on the house rules for this one:
Don't do on the spot terminations without authorization, and if you're gonna murder someone/break equipment, you must remember to do it in such a way as you can get away with it! Blowing up a truck in public would just get you executed.

Mutant powers will be obvious if used in none subtle ways:
You pyrokinese someone, causing them to catch fire, people are gonna see your eyes glow red or something. You cause their lazer to over heat whilst they're fireing it, and it's likley you won't be spotted.

You will not see your character before the start of the mission (except for the fourth). Have some tics ready, unless you want the crud I'll give you. You can still assign narrows during game play, and perhaps tweak a LITTLE. (6 players all pming for major changes would not be fun for anyone, as it would just delay things too much, but a few changes would be okay)

Generally speaking, you will begin the game with some secret society info, where appropriate. Runnnig off "to the loo" at the second you get a mission aleart, in the hope of finding a secret soc contact won't work. They don't have people waiting around to see you. They will more likley find you. Of course, you can call people up on your PDC, but do it too often, and don't be shocked that the calles were tapped.

And calls to FC... hahaha... be prepared to be on hold for a long time, and then to talk to a blue or green supervisor instead. (Imagine trying to call up the presidant to moan "My neighbour was speeding"... and you'll be on the right level)

Perversity... no spending limmit, but your character must be present in the scene. IF you want to do something to make them work - it's optional, but you will be rewarded by a refund if you do well. (Like flashing a signed piccy of tella-o to disrupt someone's aim...)
