riverview: exploration
Exploration is an important part of the culture of Riverview Quarantine. With a population mostly comprised of pioneers and people seeking a new lease on life, there is definitely a big interest in branching out and rediscovering lost parts of the city or scouting out new places to expand to. Anyone is welcome to explore at any time, and to request a member of the Perimeter Guard to accompany them on the exploratory mission if they do not have a capable fighter on the team to protect the explorers.
At any given time, there will be several things going on either in the abandoned part of the city or outside the city walls that require investigation. Current missions can be found in the comments below.
● Each mission has a cause, an objective, and may have requirements for how many characters and what skillsets are needed to complete the task.
● Once you have chosen a mission you would like your character to complete, leave a comment on the mission to let the mod and other players know that the mission is in progress.
● Arrange your team, plan the mission, and thread it out.
● Once you have threaded at least to the point of reaching the objective, link the thread and give a quick summary of the mission outcome in a second comment and the mod will consider the mission complete. Each completed mission will be replaced with a new active mission.
● Each mission has many possible outcomes. Which outcome happens is completely up to the players involved. The only real limit is if you would like a mission to have a catastrophic outcome that would drastically affect the functioning of the game, in which case, please contact the mod first.
● All participants in the mission will receive the applicable Activity Point bonuses for the mission once they have submitted it to the Activity Bonus Rewards page.
Players are more than welcome to suggest or outline a mission of their own creation, for their own use or for others. Just fill out the info in the text box, post it in a reply to this entry and the mod will approve it or, if necessary, tweak it a little. Once approved, all of the above points can be followed as usual.

At the moment we're still tossing ideas around, but Tony will likely incorporate the research into the build and programming of his defense system, so it alerts them of approaching animals, and also emits the appropriate sonic wave frequencies to ward off those specific animals. I also suggested some handheld/portable devices that could do something similar, to a lesser extent of course, for any guard members or anyone who goes beyond the wall for missions and exploration purposes. All this should take a while to achieve, though, so there shouldn't be any game-wide changes immediately. I'll keep you posted as things progress, and once any of these systems would be ready to be activated so you can give the green light. (This could also be very interesting to add to the expansion to the Abandoned City, which Jim will definitely try to be working towards and try to get everyone else to do the same too, once he gets his hands on the shuttle. A defense system that could serve as a barrier to keep the area from being swarmed with wild creatures would definitely come in handy while they're out there working on rebuilding/recovering the city.)
