Intros
Thank you so much!! I will put them in either over lunch or when I get back home today!

Codenames
I was thinking that we could go without a theme, just anything that takes your fancy! (So anything from the silly to the serious!)

Skylar must scarper now but I will be back at lunch!!

Hi guys! I've finished drafting out the pfps, cubeupload isn't working so (urgh) they're on the canvas document instead <3

Aaaaa Silvi would you be happy with having volunteer leaders in our storyline? If you say yes, I'll go ahead and ask for some volunteers

They all look so great! My preference would be the bottom left style (tech glass).

Of course!! I designed a lot of those as extras/add ons if the campers wanted them, taht way they were somewhat customisable (and they weren’t stuck with one design!) I’m also working on some vests/chestplate armour designs right now as well ^^

That would be cool!! At first I thought we were picking one of the four.

Ah yeah that must have not been clear enough xalhdshlflkdd- (I was rushing to get all my homework done, sobbing-) but yes, they’re add ons so the profile pics are customisable ^^

Yeah of course I would be!! <3

Awesome!!!

I will get storyline stuff figured out by the end of the day (should everything go well) and then we can start delegating design tasks and projects out!

Okay!! Here’s the basic plan we have for camp - We could work in the different WCG tasks in the background and have them rotate throughout camp, but it might be a bit much for campers and I don’t want to plan too much in case we end up biting off a lot more than we can chew and we fail to finish the storyline </3

November 1st-2nd
This would be the intro week! We’d release the persona making project shortly before camp but also give this time for campers to settle in and use the project, if they haven’t already!

November 3rd-9th: Mini Missions/Training
We train the campers during this week - perhaps each word count group could “host” different tasks (so one analysis/decoding task, one physical training task, and one experimenting with the ai (mock ai!) task) and couple days we could rotate so everyone gets to do everything - and it’s not the end of the world if the campers don’t finish this task, we can move on regardless as it’s not that important to the storyline ^^

November 10th-16th: Scavenger Hunt
Campers are sent on a little scavenger hunt around camp to try and find people who might be close to the AI, during this week they uncover some classified files that have the names of us and some other agents of the agency on it, and they find out the AI was created by the agency before it went rouge. They’d go around asking for information and interviewing leaders!

November 17th-23rd: Plane(?)
In this week campers find out that the AI systems aren’t actually hosted in the city they’re in. They have to fly to the place where the AI’s mainframe is housed. During this week we could do more mini training activities, this time focused around hacking and breaking in and espionage, and then maybe when they’re on the flight but there the autopilot systems completely break and are taken over by the AI :0 (or instead of a plane maybe we could have something like the Helicarrier from the MCU that acts as a flying base :0)

November 24th-30th: Boss Battle
This week is the big boss battle for our campers! They’ll have to infiltrate the base of the AI, hack into the mainframe, and plug in the code that will shut it down, all while battling minions along the way! I was thinking we could do this in a segmented way and have writing prompts for each stage (e.g. breaking in we can have several writing prompts and once a certain number of words and campers who have done the task have been reached then we move onto the next stage - campers would have to write a total number of maybe 5k words in total to defeat the AI!)

Conclusion
After that I was thinking that maybe we can have a short story wrapping up what happened after the AI was shut down, maybe they get offered a position at the agency permanently and they then go on their next mission together?

Week three is probably the one we can cut out if our campers are struggling to finish the storyline, but also if it seems like our campers might need to spend longer with the storyline activities we can always quickly move on from week one since that isn’t suuuper important (nor does it really add anything) to the storyline-

OH WAIT I had an idea, regarding the different WCG tasks, it would be so cool if we had these sorts of tasks in the background and then in Week Two, when they uncover the truth about the AI, the campers become somewhat suspicious of us as leader and are like uh oh:

Woah this all seems great!

Okay did some more work on the pfps and I have some chestplate/vest designs!

Let me know if there are any accessories you want to add to your pfps while I work on them Also open to suggestions for more accessories that I could add as well - I'm thinking maybe some weapons, such as swords/staffs/bows? (of course, it wouldn't just be limited to this thing but it's easy to show a sword/staff/bow on a pfp since it's upper body)

Profile Pictures
Oh my goodness Skylar, these are absolutely incredible!
I love the second design, with the buttons on for mine! I also think it would be so cool to have a bow or a sheath of arrows for my profile picture as well! these are all amazing ideas, and I have no idea how you've managed to create such beautiful drawings :eyes:

Activities

I was wondering what you guys were planning to do for your activities (the ones in relation with the WCGs from the 3rd to the 9th)? For mine I'm just planning to do a piece of writing with some messages (morse code,letters put in bold to spell out a word etc) embedded inside them or something/put some messages into the action cabin for them to work out! I feel like I have quite an easy first task here, but I'm not really sure what I'm going to do when it comes around to physical training? Maybe a thread or roleplay where they describe fighting skills and weapons and courses etc

And would you like me to contact any (co)leaders to get involved with the scavenger hunt so that's one less job for you to do (as you have done a lot!) <3 i was thinking for wekk 2, we could assign campers a different person to interview, just so that they can uncover everything, instead of them all just going to one leaders, and then commenting their finds in the action cabin, and then we could do a bit of roleplay for them to discover how we were involved with it maybe <3

Profile Pictures
No problem! I’ll get that done for you when I can!

Activities
Oooh, yeah I love that idea! I have a list of all the leaders who have volunteered, we could give it a few more days and then maybe we could make a forum with all our volunteers so we can contact them easily and have them get involved in the scavenger hunt and such :0

For physics training, I think a roleplay task would be perfect! We could have campers trying out different weapons and fighting techniques!

And yeah, I agree with assigning different people to interview someone, the only problem is if they’re an inactive camper and they don’t do the interview which is very sad - maybe we could have campers pick who they interview so that way they have more choice and if campers are inactive then it’s okay? Or we could assign each word count group to interview a certain group of leaders which would also get around the inactivity problem!

Activties
Yeah, I think the idea with assigning WCGs a group of leaders would be great, as we don't have to bother with making a whole list of people <3

The chest armours look great! Will there be an option for campers to get a weapon AND an accessory just wondering? And assigning WCGs with a group of leaders sounds great! <3

Fully customisable so they’ll have the full range of options and they can pick what looks best for them! They can get a weapon and as many accessories as they’d like hehe ^^

That sounds great!

hey! I’ll be away until Sunday on a short trip <3 I’ll still be responding to messages!

Hi guys!! As I mentioned earlier, I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a school trip to Cumbria for 5 days, until we return on the Friday! Clearly Friday will be pretty busy with unpacking and everything, so I should be active again on the saturday!! no devices are allowed (our phones are put into a box and locker away - which i quite like cos it means that my friends aren't just tapping away on their phones while im just trying to have some quality time with them ) so i won't be active at all! See you in a week's time!! <3
