Storyboard Mission Submission

[Howard]

Players involved: Howard
Mission Rank: B
Story elements chosen:

• Spread the lie of the Ashikaga Shogunate ( 3 )
• Plunder some treasure ( 2 )

Date of beginning & date of conclusion: 06/08/2019
Relevant mission links: [ START ] [ FINISH ]
Additional information: The spread the lie portion refers to actually physically creating a story, by performing actions that would spread throughout the world. So by sinking the ship, in front of the samurai who will return to the Land of Iron and doing it in such a way that makes it impossible not to tell the story to others is what it was referring to. "Plunder some treasure" took a sideline to the main element this time which was actually crafting a story to be told by the victims of the piracy. This is reinforced by how I had my clone talk during the mission continually bringing up the lie that he was working for Takauji Ashikaga and that he and his crew were the "Hangurian Privateers" I made sinking the ship an ordeal, as well to really sell that angle. I probably should have made it a higher rank but eh.

Mission Passed: I agree with the last statement about the mission rank. But both elements have been satisfied, so it's fine. I like the integration of these NW figureheads and their status into your narrative – Goetia

 

[Tsuki]

Players involved: Inethas
Mission Rank: B
Story elements chosen: Fight and subdue an enemy fighter without inflicting much harm to them (B)
Date of beginning & date of conclusion: 9th June 2019
Relevant mission links: https://animebase.me/threads/concord-dawn-207.768203/#post-21942734
Additional information: I'm accompanying Nakiri, so my mission is tied to his story (post above mine).

Mission Passed. Barely. You're skating just on the threshold between pass and fail. I suggest elaborating more on the fighting if these are the types of missions you want to pursue in the future. Draw the fights out a bit longer, make your characters intentions more known, and try to go back and forth a bit more, push and pull with your opponent, just don't go through the motions. You're in total control over the fight, controlling your opponent completely so make it bigger, more dangerous, and more interesting, at least for a B-rank.

Mission Passed. The first element felt a bit light but sufficient. Try putting more danger into "comparable strength."

Mission Passed. This almost failed, passing only because of its low rank. I'd suggest actually making a concrete task next time instead of being vague for example "Alter the terrain to claim a landmark" if it's inhospitable, "Clear out hostile beasts to claim a landmark" if it's overrun, etc. "Claim a landmark" is almost too vague to be a storyboard element.

[Howard]

Players involved: Howard
Mission Rank: B
Story elements chosen:

• Explore an abandoned site ( 2 )
• Try to heal the spreading rot and destruction ( 4 )

Date of beginning & date of conclusion: 06/22/2019
Relevant mission links: [ x ]
Additional information: I mentioned in the summary that the second element was supposed to be the bio trying and failing the task to realize that his goals will take time. No matter how hard he pushes or tries to cheat, to get to the end, it'll take time, and effort to get what he wants. It's sort of a way to motivate the character to keep pushing the limits to learn what he could do to fix, and heal what he wants. In this case, the scourge left by the Mother Cult's destruction.

 

[Korra.]

Players involved: Korra
Mission Rank: B
Story elements chosen:
Rumors spread through the east of the Mother Cult and their excavation site. You as a shinobi of Tsumigakure are tasked with traveling to Excavation Site ( 244 ) and spying upon the Necromancers, cultists and the undead. Your job is to gather as much usable information as possible in non-combative ways. Things like their objectives, their level of intelligence, their positions and order of command. Stay out of sight, and don't be found. You are permitted to do this as a group or solo.

Additional information: As said to me by Howard, this is a village mission as the adm bug won't let me have access to the village sub forum so I can not post it on there.

Mission Failed: Detail was too little, and your bio didn't have a very active role in the mission, like exploring the landmark further to search for even more information

Additional information: Time to deal with that balrog ay?

Mission Failed. Alright, this is a good narrative but it comes down to effort and tone for me. The direct effort was a bit short for an S rank, now when I say this, realize your first three paragraphs were setup narration getting you to your fight. For this, you could have added an additional storyboard element, that way you could have even gone a bit heavier with this opening and made it matter and count. The portion dedicated to your mission feels like an A rank and would have passed if it were an A rank element like "Fight an enemy stronger than yourself ( 4 )" for example. Secondly, the tone, this feels more like the previous mission that you did. You create a narrative push, and pull, with your bio's opponent but you never make it so he completely outclasses your bio being "much stronger." He knocks your bio back, it slyly knocks him from the bridge, he pulls your bio down you fight back and forth while falling.
