Good day, my lufflies! <3
It's been a somewhat inactive past couple of months, and Shelpey has seen some tough times. We've not had an official plot since the revamp despite some of the great plans we all had, and for this all I can really say on behalf of the staff team is that we are sorry for the lack of official, Shelpey-wide plots for you guys. We really are.
While we cannot turn back time and fix up some of our past mistakes, what we can do is bring you guys what you've been waiting for, and offer you some honest, official Shelpey plots for you all to enjoy this 2011! I bring to you the Plot Poll! The current plots are:
- Top Dog:
If Roscoe can't keep in control, things could go very, very wrong...
[/li][li] Smooth Criminals:[/u] Since the Shifters first arrived in Shelpey, they were really the only gangs in existence, and have not been in competition with any other gangs. However, this looks like it's about to change. A new human gang is roaming the streets of Shelpey, and while it's small it's comprised of true blue criminals with raps and records all over the shop. These guys mean serious business, and they look like they could cause the Shifters some serious trouble.
Will the two Shifter gangs join forces to push out this new threat before it becomes an issue? Or will the increased presence of law enforcement force the Thieves and the Assassins even further into the shadows?
[/li][li] I Spy...:[/u] There's only so many sightings of strange animals a city can have before people genuinely start to wonder what's going on. The Shifters have been careful, but perhaps not careful enough. A group of scholars and university students from outside of Shelpey have entered the city to try and study what exactly is going on, and of course the rumours of exotic animals running around in Shelpey has caused a bit of an increase in tourism.
Everybody wants to see these rare sightings of rare, exotic and non-native animals, and the Shifters job to keep concealed just got a lot harder. Animal control is also on the high alert.
[/li][li] The S(hifter) Factor:[/u] A large talent festival is being held and people of all ages are being encouraged to come and show off their skills. It's the perfect chance for some passive-aggressive competition between the two gangs, and to mingle with those Shifters who have yet to join a gang and try to buy them onto either side. Of course, with some Shifters being very competitive and not all being particularly good losers, there's every chance for fights to break out, people to 'go missing' in the crowds and the gangs managing to cause each other general trouble and chaos.
Will the practical talent show go on without a hitch, or will the Shifters go out with a bang if things get too out of hand?
[/li][li] You've Been Framed: A string of vandalism, theft and minor assault in downtown Shelpey has the gangs under suspicion, and the Shifters who police already know to have caused trouble are under extra surveillance. Neither gang knows the culprit for the petty crimes either, but as the petty crimes build up and the gangs are pressured further and further by law enforcement and each other, tensions are rising fast.
It will only take one clumsy Shifter to reveal them all, and it will only take one wrong move to spark a fight. The culprits of the crimes need to be caught fast before petty crime turns into something far more serious.

You can choose three[/i] choices in this poll, your top three favourites you guys want to see, and the poll closes next Saturday, January 15th along with the activity check. Once the poll is closed, we will pick either the top two or top three plots you guys all wanted to see, and several things will happen:
- Links to these official plots will be posted in a "Plot Tracker" thread. You will be able to visit this thread and see what the small but official plot is about, and where you can locate it on the forum.
- An official roleplay will be posted for you guys in the specific area it takes part in. All of you are welcome to join, and we even encourage you to perhaps formulate your own plots in conjunction with our official ones to make it more interesting.
- The results of these "mini plots" will lead the way towards larger, site-wide official plots that really dig into the story of the gangs, the Shifters and their future!
Happy voting! Don't forget if you guys have any suggestions for future mini-plots that you think would be good for Shelpey, we'd love to hear about them. =)[/blockquote]
