Alright everyone, revolt's over, let's get cracking. ^^ Management's changed hands and now it's time for some ideas. WE NEED TENSION!! AND THRILLS AND EXCITEMENT SPRINKLED ALL OVER IT LIKE A SPASTIC MONKEY TOOK THE POWDERED SUGAR!! And that means we need a BIG thread filled with possibly ideas. So, I guess I'll start things off with what we've thought about in the cbox. - Government cracking down, violence is the new way to settle clan disputes, attack other clansmen on sight.
- Gangs erupt in the city, and it's a fight for the clans to either take their territory back, or contend with the gangs for members, or something else even better that I have yet to think of. :3
- You remember that idea we had long ago about New World City and invading? Maybe reviving that one.
- Siege the government (probably not, that would destroy the whole site)
- Tournament (It was shot down, but I'm just putting it on the list as a possibility to make this list look more impressive)
- Arkham City - All of the psychos are in the city. All of them.
Now add on. ^^ Elaborate, anything's fine so long as everyone can try and participate.

My first thought is problems- and lots of them. There needs to have been chaos in order for a strict government control to even be possible. And with control also comes a thirst for anarchy.
1.) I did like Hotaru's back story including joining up with a gang outside the clans as a form of rebellion. Could we include that as an option for some people? But if everyone did that it could be problematic- we do need people filling the clans after all. But a small faction of rebels could be interesting, or even multiple groups with different styles/motivations. Some can be more violence-oriented, others sneaky... you get the picture.
2.) I think there needs to be some folklore floating through the city. Whether or not it is true can be decided. But that could add some cool aspects if legends/mythology were/was, not largely (not by a long shot), but vaguely sprinkled throughout the story line. Something to keep people wary, even if it's just children's stories. OR odd phenomenon to stir up news reports and make people nervous.
3.) If the government is cracking down, I volunteer the idea of secret police, major propaganda, censored news reports, yada yada. But not too strict, otherwise there won't be much room for development. Hm... I'm actually not too sure how this would work out. However, we don't NEED government involvment. This is just for if we decide we do.
4.) New World City invading sounds cool. Not an immediate plot but definitely a good idea. (I'm assuming it'd be American, because we Americans love getting in the way of things). That could create a general panic and darker atmosphere. Also, let's include more interaction with the rest of the world, even if it's small. Unless we want Japan totally closed off from everything else... which could be cool too.
5.) I like the Arkham City idea, but I think it may be hard to do. Something like that, I think, may shatter any moving forward with the clans and fighting for territories. However, having one or two psychos (*cough*KarterandMikkaandHana*cough*) would be very interesting.
6.) The Yukuza. Mafia baby! They sneak around and control almost as much as the government, and sometimes people fear them more. We need illegal activities behind the scenes.
7.) Could the government be experimenting and doing risky science-y things? It could be like human experimentation in the military and stuff (like in FMA or something). I don't know how much we could do with it but if people they did stuff too escaped, that could cause serious problems. They might also "Black Bag" (if you watch V for Vendetta the phrase will make sense), or whisk people off to question them about suspicious things without anyone knowing. Again, only if we have major government involvement.
Confusing. I know I'm ranting. Just tell me what you think and we'll kick everything into shape (throw stuff out, blah, blah).

A secret group of brainwashed agents have been set free into the clan groups. The clans have word that some people are sleeper agents, but don't know who they are. Tensions are building, as some trusted relationships are beginning to break. People don't know who's been brainwashed and who hasn't, and the result could lead to war.

Hey! Hey guys! Hey! Listen!! *shot*
Should we make a poll outta this to see which idea(s) has/have the most support? :3 It'd be a good way to get the most interesting arcs started, methinks.
*offers up self to kick Xi's ass into gear*

A poll sounds good to me Akio's idea sounds pretty cool too. I think it could blend well with human experimentation (brainwashing does fall under that category, I believe). That could make people somewhat suspicious of each other. Yay tension!
