This thread is a guide for those with Ranking characters who wish to influence the political world of Trine.

There are 3 main ways to bring about Political Change in Trine through In-Character Avenues:
  1. Draft and present a Proposal to the Weyrwoman and Weyrleader ICly.
  2. Garner support from your Peers ICly.
  3. Draft a Current Events Report to be incorporated into Monthly (OCly) Setting Updates.


Continue on for the specifics of each method!

Bring Change Through a Proposal


If your character has a cause that is significant enough to them that you wish to wield political influence to bring that cause to light and make some aspect law, simply follow the procedure below.

Beware, however, as not all change is good! Weigh your decisions and proposals carefully before bringing them to life.

Proposal Process

  1. Fill out the Proposal Draft Form below and post it in this thread here

  2. If the character is of Mid Rank
    > You must Garner Support from your peers before bringing this before a High Ranking individual. To achieve this, you need at least 2 Complete RPs with 2 other PC Characters (not your own) OR 5 Solos involving your own characters where the character making the Proposal explains and convinces the other characters of their cause's merit. 1 RP + 3 Solos will also be sufficient.
    > After you've Garnered Support, you must Present the Proposal to any High Ranking PC or NPC. In the case of an NPC, a Staff Member will conduct the RP. When presenting a proposal, your character must explain why the cause is important and emphasize any support you've gained in the Garner Support step.
    > If the High Ranking character determines your cause to be worth while, it goes to Debate. Debate is a short (time limited) ORP where any character is able to provide IC feedback to the proposed changes. Debate will include commentary from High Rank NPCs.
    > After Debate, if the community is receptive to your idea, the Proposal will be incorporated into the Setting Update, including any ramifications or conditions that would have occurred during Debate.

  3. If the character is of High Rank
    > You must Present the Proposal to the Weyrwoman, Weyrleader, Weyrlingmaster, or Candidatemaster in an RP and convince them your cause is worth investing in.
    > If you are successful, the Proposal will go to Debate, a short (time limited) ORP where any character is able to provide IC feedback to the proposed changes. Debate will include commentary from High Rank NPCs.
    > After Debate, if the community is receptive to your idea, the Proposal will be incorporated into the Setting Update, including any ramifications or conditions that would have occurred during Debate.


*Note, Staff have final say over any decisions in regards to Changes. The Weyrwoman and Weyrleader hold Veto power for any and all decisions made by other riders, regardless of rank. This power, however, will not be used light by Staff.

Current Events Reports


If you have ideas for the goings-ons of the world around or within Trine, you can include those in the setting through the Current Events Reports.

What are the Current Events Reports?
These are basically news flashes and rumours and other such things concerning the affairs of the world. They include everything from a Holder encroaching upon another Holder's territory, to a shortage of fish because the stocks are bad this Turn, or even word of another Rogue Queen sighting/encounter. It can be small and local or large and far-reaching.

How do you get a Current Events Report included?
Every month the staff will endeavour to have a Setting Update announcement for the shop. These announcements will account for the goings-on of the world. To include your C.E.R, simply fill out the form below and post it in this thread!

Will every C.E.R be used?
Sadly, not every C.E.R will be used. Think of it as a news editor picking which stories get featured in the paper - the staff will pick a variety of C.E.Rs and weave them into the greater story. What ensures a C.E.R is chosen is a matter of interest, quality, and use for the shop, and if there is demonstrated awareness of current plotpoints. Some things will affect metaplot, some things won't. Ultimately, Staff have final say of what is, and is not, used.

Current Events Report Form!

[b]Location[/b]: (where is the event? it can literally be anywhere on Pern, even in locations not currently in play)
[b]What happened:[/b] (describe the event! you can be as specific or vague as you like. vague descriptions will be viewed more as rumours; please take into account what your character would, and wouldn't know, ICly)
[b]Any key figures?[/b] (you can include your character, or if it makes sense, once of the NPCs, in the events you describe if they would have been there to witness or be involved)
