Pingu's Roleplay Event Ideas
Introduction
With the recent staff update briefly discussing the possibility of events, and because there is no dedicated event team, and ultimately falls down to the staff, I decided to throw all my ideas in here. I'll continue adding to this thread once I think of more. Events are always fun, and are a low-risk excitement you don't get anywhere else on the server. Non-roleplay events bring the community together for a brief period, and shows us, despite some toxicity and absolute wetwipes, this community can be wholesome and is actually really tight-knit when you think about it. It's time for a change, however. Roleplay events. This is a serious roleplay server, and roleplay events will add to the atmosphere and the experience as a whole, because at the end of it (unless you're an event character), you'll have the character development and experience to go off. They're also fun, lads. It's a win-win. Hear me out.Introduction
A million dollar crime.
ContextAs dawn broke, and the birds began to sing. An alarm bell which woke up every family in Paralake bellowed, followed by an armada of sirens. A bank robbery, and they mean business. The paralake police department day-shift rushed over to the Bank, setting up a perimeter. The Sergeant on duty peered through the window, noticing several armed suspects, and three hostages, all lined up against the window. A shootout would cost the lives of those hostages, negotiations were on.
Information
An actual bank robbery, with players roleplaying as a character, and are not looking for a quick fix of money so they can fund their LMB addiction. The players would be given their firearms, so that there was no loss for the event characters. Negotiations that actually happen, and are not ridiculously unbelievable or hard to keep. The PLPD can elect a negotiator to speak with the criminals, and negotiate the safe release of the hostages whilst TFU (who have no jurisdiction in negotiations and should not be near it), plan their extraction plan and prepare to stack up, fall in, and move to apprehend the suspects. If it goes wrong, or to spice it up, a ShootToMiss firefight can occur, pinning down everyone outside, which would last for a while before TFU finally snuck in and took out the targets. This isn't a five minute ordeal, this should go on for a while. Roleplay, ladies and gentlemen. Ya love to see it.
A trapped civilian.
Context
An explosion erupts in the Regals apartment, sending shattered glass outwards. A known local, who had been watched by the Paralake Detective Agency for several months, cooked some illegal narcotics a bit too much, causing it to explode. He was gone on impact, along with his apartment. A large fire raged, the Paralake Police Department rushed to secure the scene, PLEMS raced to the scene, closely followed by the fire department. The fire is spreading, there is no time to waste.
Information
Several people are trapped in the upstairs apartments, it is up to the fire service to breach, tackle the fire to the best of their ability and save those trapped inside, a race against the clock to do the duty you trained so hard to do. Paralake Police Department Patrol units corner off the area with the assistance of the Traffic Division, no TFU necessary of course, christ. The victims, if saved, are to be returned to the EMS on scene to check on them, and do some actual medical roleplay, whilst the fire chief looks for the cause of the incident.
Democracy
Context
After winning the election, a Mayor who had promised the otherwise forgotten Paralake residents the world, has gone rogue, unknown to the Paralake Police Department. In a typical political fashion, he had secured himself a nice house, a good job, a wage and a team of private body guards, and has completely abandoned his campaign and his promises to set up a police state with high taxes and low income support. There is a serious threat to life, the Mayor is being hunted, unknown to him. To boast, the Mayor has organised a parade, a nice day out for the family. The Paralake Police Department begin cornering off roads, Paralake residents sit behind barriers ready to cheer for their new Mayor. All isn't what it seems, however. There are a few people in these crowds that would love to see him gone. Let's hope nothing happens.
Information
A mayor convoy, basically. The entire city locked down, staff.. staffing to prevent it being ruined by new players or just labotomites trying to ruin the fun. The Secret Service are tasked with protecting the Mayor's life during the parade, with one officer escorting the convoy through the main roads at front. Officers are tasked with blocking lanes and preventing people from running into the convoy. On the way to Suburbs, the convoy is attacked! - leaving the Mayor stranded, the Secret Service killed in action. He is taken hostage, and it is up to the TFU and the negotiator to try and get him released. We don't negotiate with terrorists, but let's hope we can get to the Mayor before the TFU have to take out their targets.
I'll add more soon once I think of some more. Criminals deserve an event too, of course.
