				Am I allowed to be the first post on my own thread? Welcome everyone. I have a few ideas with this role to keep things interesting so I will lay them out.<br><br>The main story of this game will be about the survival of their band of merry men to start with. Looking for a new planet, regathering their wits and stocking up. In the end they will find a way to hit back at the initiative, taking back power and handing it back to the people as it was supposed to be. On the way, there will be side quests, small little 2 week or month long missions. These missions will be decided upon by a writer and the GM and you will need a Mass Effect pin in order to make a side quest.<br><br>Now I know you are all wondering, what the hell is a Mass Effect pin and where do I get one?! The Mass Effect pin will be handed out by the GM as the game goes. It can be for anything from an amazing post, good humor, a well handled situation or can be nominated by another player. The amount of pins owned by players will be on display at all times at the top of the OOC thread for all to look at.<br><br>Pins can be traded for side quests or heroic actions. These will be discussed between the character with the pin and the GM. Some examples of side quests that can use a pin could be a weapons cache that Kara Lawton has to get her hands on, Kendra could be hunted down by the bad men and need the team to step up to destroy them, Rax could need a Krogan taken care of who killed a friend of his. These are all examples of side quests and will change the direction in which the game is running for a couple weeks, leading all crew members to partake in it.<br><br>As for heroic actions, pins can be traded for simple heroic actions, giving glory and fame to the user of the pin. Some examples of this could be Tiberius trading a pin in order to get the credit of finding a home planet, one that is habitable by the team. In doing so he names the planet Scorch, his last name, giving him the credit and glory. These actions also need to be spoken out with the GM just to make sure they don't mess with the direction of the game too badly.<br><br>Now, how can you get your first pin? Well to encourage you all to speak with one another, I will be PMing each and every approved player, giving them a code word or saying. Every writer that has every code word will receive their first, very own and very shiny pin! I encourage you to all discuss connections while you are messaging each other for the code words. As most people are going to be rebels, there is more than likely going to be connections between them all so try have some kind of story between the characters, even if they hate each other, it's something to work on. Oh, and yes, the GM, me, will also have a code word so don't be shy to message me ;)<br><br>The reason for the pin is not to get bragging right of for some useless collectors item, the pins are for the players to get a say in the game, getting an input in the direction of the game and their own claim to fame. All players can pm me with nominations for a pin and I would really like to hand out a couple pins every week or 2 weeks.

				First off, I quite like the pin idea, and it seems a neat way to reward people for participating.<br><br>Secondly, I thought I'd let you know that both links to the OOC section from the recruitment page are broken, and instead link to a "create new topic" page.

				Looks like we have 6 players. I would have preferred 8-10 but we can start so long and people can join mid way. I mean there are always people in space right :P<br><br>If you would like to claim your first pin, drop me a pm with all 5 code phrases and who they belong to. (I have one as well.) While you are messaging people for them, you might as well make some connections.<br><br>I am thinking of getting the game rolling mid next week so gives you all time to get your first pins. If you would like to see which people you can message for a code word, everyone has posted in the character thread so work on them.
