sirenspull_ooc | Scum and Villainy Network

So, with that tasteful introduction, I'd like to take a moment to bring up something! The idea of a Villain Network was brought up a long time ago, but we recently brought it up again on the last plotting meme. I asked for a show of hands then, and we got a few people, and I just wanted to see who else might be interested in this? I've got a few handy facts here:

1. Right now we're looking for villain people, not really people who will be double agents. In the future we'll definitely want those! But we need to get set up first, so if you think you'd like to be one in the future, speak up. We just might not do that stuff for a little bit.

2. While there won't be a formal "leader", their will probably be some people who are higher up in the food chain then others. That doesn't mean your character is not as important, of course! But in any good mafia, there's always someone higher then you.

3. This is what brings up the actual contract part. Mr. Gold here is pretty big on contracts and deals, and he's not going to just let someone work with him without some kind of insurance. So, you're all going to have to sign a contract with him, if you do decide to work with the group. The contract pretty much states "Don't tell on us, or something will happen". The way that Mr. Gold operates is that when he makes a deal with someone, if they break the contract, then he does something that will hurt them, or their loved ones, or anything like that. He usually takes whatever is dearest to you, or hurts it in some way. And Mr. Gold is good at knowing what your "precious" thing is, even if you try to hide it.

4. The contracts do not say you need to pledge loyalty to any one person or group! Just that you can't rat them out to the police or the so called "good" guys.

5. When it comes to the group, it's not really the kind of group that goes out and does things together. It's more like a network of people that scratches each others' backs from time to time. For an example, Mr. Gold and Xigbar both helped to find Newcomer names to give to Spencer for the Newcomer Hunt, instead of never talking to each other.

Basically, this is a call to see who else out there might want in! Mr. Gold will be making a post early this week and try to say a few things that might give the right people to notice it. If anyone has some ideas they might want to throw around, I know there've been places mentioned to have a sort of "meet and greet" thing! And if your character does want to join, I'd like to get an idea of what Mr. Gold might consider to go after if they double-cross them.

Real things, please! Obviously if your character says they love vegetables, Mr. Gold will know that's some BS. The whole point of these contracts is to possibly lose something your character CANNOT live without, not something they can muddle through somehow. More information here for the types of deals Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin makes!

So, yes! Ideas, comments, signups? You can comment here, or PM this journal, or email/AIM. I ask you not to use plurk unless it's a specific thing to me and not an idea for the group, if only because not everyone has plurk, and it does tend to hide stuff! Thank you.

On an completely unrelated note, when I uploaded this picture onto tinypic, the recaptcha that I had to reply to was "Snow Shovel". In case anyone also gets the reference.
