TP Guidelines

Thinking of running a TP? Here are a few things you should take into consideration. Not all TPs require staff approval--however, if you aren't sure it can never hurt to ask. Please refer to the TP section of our General Policy page for definitions of what kinds of TPs need approval. We highly recommend that you consult staff and those your TP might affect OOCly before proceeding with any TP. Remember, asking questions can never hurt, but retcons can.
# Who is running the TP? - Which of your characters will this plot center around, or who will you be using to run it? Also, let us know if anyone is co-running the plot with you.
# Overview - Give us an overview of your story plan. Pretend you’re preparing to write a narrative of some kind. Outline a basic introduction, main conflict, climax and conclusion. How do you plan to advance your plot from one point to the next? What are the intended results of the events that will take place? Who are the key players in the story? How long do you expect it will take to run its course?
# What is the plot's scale? - What is the scale of your plot? This is a question of how many people its events and results will affect. A global TP affects all of Cybertron and potentially beyond, a major TP might affect an entire city or faction, and a minor TP only affects a small group of select characters. Global and major TPs will be subjected to a higher level of scrutiny. 
# TP Characters - Are there any TP characters you want created? If so, please write up a sheet for them just as you would any other character. However, if you don’t want to deal with the numbers, at least give us a general idea of what kinds of stats and moves you want the character to have. Do you want an object you can puppet, or do you want it to be a player bit? 
# Miscellaneous - If there is anything else you want to tell us about the TP that doesn’t fall under any of the previous questions, put it here. For example, if something you’re planning or something that has a reasonable chance of happening as a result of your plot might raise some theme, tone, or consent concerns it might be a good idea to let us know about it.
