PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)
What is Plot Engagement and how does it work within Meadowlark? This is the page where players can come discuss with us how to facilitate plots within the setting. However, there will be occasions where a plot doesn't work within Meadowlark's world, and we'll suggest alternative routes. For small worldbuilding or gameplay details, please direct your question to the FAQ. If you're ever not sure if you're at the right page, don't worry—we'll help you get it sorted out. We know we have a load of info!
WHEN WILL YOU HEAR BACK?
◉ All Plot Engagement answers go out on Sunday, except during events.
◉ The deadline to submit a question and ensure you'll hear back from us on Sunday is 11:59 PM UTC on Saturday.
PLOT ENGAGEMENT INCLUDES
◉ Player plots! If you'd like your character to become a mafia boss, this is your place to start. Typically, this involves anything that could impact the setting or other player characters.
◉ Character career advancement that gives the character additional power or status within the setting.
◉ Metaplot exploration and information! We plan all events to give characters something to explore after the event ends. This is the place to do it!
SUBMISSION TIPS
◉ Specify what your character is looking for when they're investigating. What questions are they asking and what angle are they trying to explore?
◉ If you have a specific goal in mind but don't know how to reach it, please let us know.
◉ If you link a thread to us, please summarize it! That helps us process the plot in question.
◉ Don't worry about not knowing the setting like the back of your hand before you submit the plot—that's up to us! We're here to help you with any adjustments to get you on the right track.
NOTES & THINGS THAT YOU CAN HANDWAVE
◉ Characters always start out in entry level positions. Characters can update their skill sets to the 2512 standard through paid apprenticeships or internships.
◈ If a character is advancing within a major corporation (as noted on the Setting or Locations page) or one of its subsidiaries, we will need to approve this advancement.
◈ If a character becomes a supervisor at a local bar or other small business, we do not need to approve this advancement.
◉ Joining the police force within a city requires three months of IC training (six months OOC).
◉ We'll approve whether someone has social media fame, but we will not be providing social media follower counts. Once you have a plot for how to use those followers, that's where we step in!
◉ All Morningstar business goes on our Morningstar page. Please feel free to discuss specific plots here (including joining), and go there for signups and anything else.
◉ Characters getting jobs, finding apartments, participating in the fighting rings, getting married, making workplace friends, the creation of minor NPCs, etc. do not need to be run by us. Please let us know if these expand into player plots or other plot bits!

Through digging in, Jyn would find out about the following people:
Marianna Webster-Doyle is Jovavich's executive assistant, and attends to her every need. She's a mousey shy woman who wears glasses as if she's trying to fit a long-forgotten stereotype (and this is a fashion statement in Meadowlark's world: no one wears glasses for the sake of wearing glasses anymore).
Olivia Larkin is Jovavich's second-in-command at Pulsar, and the one expected to succeed Jovavich if she's elected as governor of New Amsterdam. She's sharp and hardworking, though not as naturally talented as Jovavich. Some people think that Pulsar may look externally to take over Jovavich's position rather than ask for Larkin to step up, but this would be a move that would go against Jovavich's wishes (as she and Larkin are quite close).
Johann doesn't turn up any names, information, or gossip! Pearl will mention that she has a neighbor named Johann, but that's it. (No, this isn't the Johann you're looking for.)
Hanzo Soto is the Chief Marketing Officer at Pulsar. He and Jovavich regularly work together in order to best "sell" the world on their projects in space.
We're assuming that Jyn got this information through Pearl and looking into the Pulsar directory. However, if you'd like Jyn to dig in via hacking and see if she can find out more, let us know! There may be some consequences, and it could possibly end her career at Pulsar, so we didn't want to go ahead and assume she did that without your go ahead. Noodle over what you'd like to do and let us know!
