    What does this mean?



    How often is this competition run?

    --

    Only problem I see with participation are for poor (or lazy) people who can't get the secret ingredient, like me. Any alternatives for the poor, or do we just not participate? (For instance, the secret ingredient being garlic salt but we only have salt. Secret ingredient is cheddar cheese but we only have mozzarella, etc)

    (Unrelated to anything: Please remember to like the posts of the plots you like by the 10th!!)

    Alright...So based off of some of the plots mentioned so far, I present my plot idea for the KHV Musical /dramatica music
    I have massively simplified some of the overly-complicated stuff so that it's more realistically do-able. NOTE: Not ALL plots are fuses here. Just the once that /CAN/ be obviously and easily fused.

    / / Main Characters

    A new member (original character, most likely).
    An un-banned member.
    A normal member.
    A premium.
    A staff member.

    Why: Representation. Not all staff, not all normies, not all OCs, not all prems, etc. Main does not mean only, it just means maybe a bit more of a key role in the plot or a bit deeper character development. The only real main character, I believe, should be the new member/OC. Fair on all fronts, yeah?

    Using this random generator, I got a lesbian female for the main character named Aaliyah LOL. I'm just going to use that for now for the purpose of the plot, but things can be replaced/moved around.

    //Setting(s)

    KH-Vids will be a physical place. Fusing this with the school/university idea, I've made a small and unfinished map.

    [​IMG]
    As you can see, it's almost like a university setting. Similar. Also, I'm kind of joking about the whole ominous staff
    thing. The playground is separate from fun and games. Instead, it's a literal field just a bit away from the buildings going South, where games are played and stuff. It's set up a bit like a camp. Allow me to explain. (Note: These aren't the actual names for all of this places yet, hah.)

    Staff Headquarters Obviously the place staff hang out, discuss issues and make major decisions. I believe there should be sleeping quarters here for them too, just to spice things up. I put trees around it because I think it would be really cool to expand on the hidden-ness of it and make it seem a bit cut off from the rest of the forum, in an exciting way. Traversing though a dark, thick forest and arriving at the Staff HQ sounds neat. /imagery

    Registration Another obvious place. When arriving to KH-V, new members register here at the registration office. Members leaving will also have to put in a resignation/departing notice here and physically 'leave'. Banned members or exiled members are just ... kicked out and unable to return for ... some reason I don't care to think up at.

    Living Quarters Sort of like dorms. A physical building with bedrooms and stuff. Everyone gets their own room.

    Banquet Hall We eat here. No matter what drama is going on, we have three scheduled times. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We can eat there or in the Playground (not pictured) during those times.

    Community Center This is where events take place. Things like Mixtape Mania, KHV Chorus, Podcasts, and other things. We'll of course have to expand on how these things would go physically. For instance, KHV Chorus would obviously be a choir, etc. Should also have a mini-theater for KHV Movie anime/night, etc. There will also be a counseling office there. (Help with Life).

    Prem Hangout I think this building should, in honor of our beautiful prem section, pretty much be empty and terrible LOL. Some raggedy couches, dust piling up. Barely anyone goes there.

    Creativity Corner Where our creative members roam. The RPers (or actors), the singers and artists, writers... There should be a lot of art rooms, and computer rooms here with graphic programs. Studios for recording and composition, instruments, a stage, etc.

    Interests Where are quirky and knowledgeable members hang out. A debate hall and discussion hall, video game rooms, a library, maybe some more computer rooms and other interest-related ones.

    Hacks & Codes Pretty much a building with even more computer rooms (LOL) and ... stuff on hacking, I don't know anything about this section tbh.

    Fun and Games And here we have pretty much the Spamzone. Loud, obnoxious (in a fun way) and very borderline. In summary, a large hang out room. Snacks, chairs and couches, music, partying and fun. We also have Forum Families -- or in other words, along with the large lounge in the front of the building, we have multiple rooms for 'rent' where groups of people (family) can go to talk and mess around , yadda.

    //Member Types
    Here is my idea of how to present us as physical members. Instead of posts, I believe we should receive physical coins or currency. You get them by engaging with the community. Attending events, and talking to certain people. Those with over $1000 become premium members and can exchange them instead for a badge or license that states so. They then get special access to the Prem Hangout and also some Prem-exclusive events held in the Community Center.

    Banned (banished/exiled) Banned members are those who have done something bad or committed a crime. As punishment, Staff has ... pretty much kicked them out of KHV.

    Alt Accounts Member who were either banished or gone for a while, returned with a new 'alias' and in some cases a disguise or a new look. Very mysterious, usually.

    Normals Obvious. Members who haven't gathered enough coins to become prem, or don't want to.

    Premiums Members who have been around and earned enough coins to get their Premium License (or badge).

    Sectional Moderators Moderators who usually stay in one area of KHV. For instance, you would be most likely to find What? working at the Registration Office.

    Super Moderators Staff members who wander around in all areas of the forum. There's no definite place to find them, but they're usually around somewhere keeping things in check.

    Admins Misty and RvR will mostly be found at Staff HQ keeping things in check from the top. Sometimes they'll make appearances in other places, but there's always someone back at HQ.

    Note: You can tell who is staff by the color of their clothes.

    //Inspiration
    Okay, so here are the main things that I will try to fuse and summarize in this plot, along with my own ideas. This is in no way official, just my idea and attempt to gather some of us together and bring some unity about before the 10th.

    • One by one, they approach their professor for advice on their problems, ranging from anything like relationship problems to fears of financing their studies to suicidal thoughts. Troubled by the students despair, the professor decided to turn the class into a support group. (Janson)
    • So what if we were to write a story about a member who has just joined the site and being taken around the sections of the forum, where people apparently break out into song, and he gets to know the culture of KHV. The songs could be about certain sections, members and/or memes of the forum. (GS)
    • My only idea is a world set a bit into the future. Where the Kingdom Hearts series has finally stopped without their ever being a conclusion. (FuzzyBlueLights)
    • announces the cancellation of the KH series and that KHV is being shut down since the for it have been cut off.
      Members are starting to leave, friends are saying goodbye, loves that have formed are being tested, groups say their finals farewell. Some characters still linger for a bit finishing up with KHV before it's finally shut down.
      Now at this point, a new member joins KHV, the Protagonist, who starts talking to the clicks and people who are all giving up on the site. The Protagonist resolves to help bring the site back up, and proposes....(PaW)
    • Also, there's a side plot with two members in love who are dying to meet each other (because every musical needs a love song). (Tummer)
    • Anyways we'd explore how the site activity is influenced by their everyday life and how their everyday life in turn goes through some dramatic change due to their time spent online. All the musical numbers would be representations of online communication to create a distinction between the online world and the real one. ... (Jiku)
    • The classes could easily tell each other apart by the color of their workclothes (which will be just the member/staff team colors (white for Regular Members, pink for Preminum Members, red for Moderators, etc.)) (Flowergothic)
    • OC has become a “Returned” - a free member after dropping his permaban sentence due to the appeal passing by one vote of an unknown staff member, the Savior, who constantly haunts OC as the “granter of their freedom”. Though OC is technically free, their “Returned” status makes them a social outcast. (What?)
    //Plot Summary
    I'll go into great detail about some things. Others I'll rush through just to get the point across and move on, heh.

    Basically...

    KH-Vids is a place on the Internet. Our story follows a new member, a premium member, a staff member, a normal member and a returned banned member. There are two major settings. One is, obviously, KH-V. The other is our physical world. The only members to be shown off-site will be our main ones. Events on the site will be dramatized and translated into physical happenings (KHV Chorus happening will be translated into a physical choir, and so on).

    We'll start with the new member (original character) and in the physical world. Aaliyah (15), is struggling in the physical world. Her parents are going through a divorce, her grades are slipping and she's being bullied (because she's a lesbian according to this generator). To deal with what's going on at home, Aaliyah has formed a semi-unhealthy habit of neglecting her responsibilities to cruise the Internet, play video games and make AMVs. She's really passionate about this, btw, over 5k subs on YT and everything.

    A girl that she has a crush on (also her best friend) has introduced her to the Kingdom Hearts series and encouraged her to play the games, especially the first two, since they're her favorite. Upon finishing the games, she's decided she wants to make an AMV for this girl's birthday. She Googles 'Kingdom Hearts Cutscenes' and is brought to our very lovely KH-Vids.

    This is our first introduction to KH-V as a physical place. Aaliyah steps foot in KH-Vids, and wanders around the site. She views members interactions, and just kind of gets a general feel for the place. Initially, she's not considering actually joining, but as she flails around looking for the Cutscene Archive (not pictured), What? steps in and directs her to the Registration Office, unintentionally guilting her into signing up with his babbling on (<3) about how great new members are, and how wonderful the forum is, yadda yadda [#1]. She's greeted pretty passively by other members and logs off feeling pretty neutral about the site. She falls asleep listening to her parents fight.

    A day or two later, Aaliyah logs on again. She had been so swept up in joining KHV that she never downloaded the cutscenes. When she arrives, the forum is in a bit of a panic. It has been announced that Kingdom Hearts won't be continuing as a series, and that there will not be a conclusion or ... well, anything more to it. Let's just say Nomura has a break down or something and ragequits, LOL. In this flurry of events, it has also been announced that KH-Vids is being shut down. The owner no longer thinks he'll make a profit off of the site, considering what it's based off of is now dead, and no one from KH-Vids has enough money to buy it from him. The owner is very seriously considering a deal with someone who wants to make it into a porn site.

    Aaliyah is kind of thrown into an awkward position. KH-Vids doesn't really mean much to her at the moment, and she's finding it hard to empathize, due to her 'real life' problems. She considers leaving, heading back to the Registration Office to 'depart', but she stumbles upon a staff member. Staff is in a meeting right now at HQ, but this staff member seems to be in an emotional fit. Instead of being at HQ, staff member is sitting on the grass in the Playground area fuming or crying (depending on which staff member it is). They express how much KH-V means to them [#2], and their determination to keep the site up. They say that staff is currently discussing the shut down, but they'd rather avoid talk of giving up. They ask for Aaliyah's help, and once again guilted, she agrees to do so.

    The staff member brings them to HQ and is at first met with rage and 'y u do this tho', but after expressing themselves, they get staff support to try to keep KH-V alive. They come up with a plan to raise money to buy the site from the owner.

    During dinner that night, staff make the announcement. Most members are either neutral or supportive, but there's one member (the unbanned) that's raising a fuss for some reason. They're completely against trying to raise money to keep the site up. They believe that if it's time for the site to go, everyone should just let it go. [#3] Unbanned logs offline.

    The story is now taking place from Unbanned's point of view. We get insight on their at-home life which is pretty ... bland, to say the least. They're not in a very good spot, financially. We later learn through Aaliyah's prodding (back on site) that their hesitance to raise money comes from the fact that they don't have anything to contribute. They feel that whoever donates will be hailed as the 'saviors-of-KHV' or something dramatic like that, and they feel a bit ashamed that they have nothing to give. Aaliyah assures them that that won't be the case and says there are many way to help such as being positive and supportive, BLAH MORE DETAIL NEEDED END ARK.

    After that resolution, Aaliyah has another problem. She's feeling pretty depressed about things and has found herself logging onto KH-V a lot more often now to escape from her physical troubles. It seems her best friend has obtained a boyfriend, which depresses her in more ways than one. Her father has also left the house and her mother doesn't know if he'll return. The staff member from earlier suggests that she visit the counseling office. She doesn't want to, but is eventually roped into it by the unbanned member (she is now friends with both of these members). The head of the counseling office is a premium member. Not officially, but the premium member lurks around enough to practically be moderator there.

    Aaliyah vents to the premium member, and premium member gives advice about being happy, persevering and keeping your chin up. [#4] Aaliyah feels a bit better (or at least functional) and leaves to participate in a game at the Playground with unbanned member and staff member. When she leaves, premium member logs off and we now get a glimpse of their at home life. It is riddled with busy! Not negative or bland like before. They're juggling a lot with school and work and friends, and KH-V is more of a way to unwind after their busy days.

    When we're back online, we're in the perspective of Aaliyah who's sitting in a meeting with the other members discussing how far they've come with donations and how much more money is needed. At this point, we're almost at our goal, but time is running short. During the meeting, a member suddenly stands and runs out of Community Center crying. A normal member stands up, but hesitates, sitting back down and sighing dramatically. After the meeting, Aaliyah and Premium member approach the normal member, who is still sitting down as everyone else leaves.

    They ask him what's wrong, and the love story begins. Apparently, he's decided to donate money that he's been saving up to KH-V. The money was going towards meeting his long-distance girlfriend (crying member) over the summer. She's crushed, but not against it. Aaliyah and premium member try to cheer him up and he's grateful, but still bummed. He explains his long-distance romance. [#5]

    He eventually logs out and we see some nice long-distance relationship stuff such as him having a talk with his girlfriend, asking if she was okay from earlier when she logged off. They talk, and eventually come to understand that it'll all be okay.

    With his donation, KH-V reaches it's goal! Premium member, unbanned member, staff member, normal member and Aaliyah are now really good friends at this point. Everything is great and the site is bought successfully. Happy number. [#6]

    We return to Aaliyah's life at home. Things aren't magically fixed (though her dad does return home), but throughout her experience she has gained the confidence and strength to continue with her life without sinking into ultimate despair. She realizes that no matter how alone she may feel, she never is. It's a simple matter of logging on.

    / End.

    Now at this point I'm thinking it is only the end of Act 1. If so, then Act 2 should expand on the return of the KH series / the road trip or appeal PaW suggested. However, I am also thinking it could act as left room for a sequel to expand on that! I think we should leave room for a sequel and end it here, because this is a really BASIC skeleton of my idea, and we already have 6 original song numbers to be composed, five main characters to expand on, and much more to add--For instance, we will most likely add onto community events and happenings around the forum...

    Also, the numbers = potential musical numbers.

    Oh...My condolences. That's horrible. If you need someone to talk to, even if it's unrelated or just a general feeling down, you're welcomed to shoot me a message.

    Regardless, my thoughts are with them, their families and their friends.

    I will spare you all my thoughts on mortality.

    Updated. If your song isn't there, for the 58098528th time, please read the rules.


    So. I now remember what this was all about. I wasn't just being crazy! c': Now that people are doing that, I realize my worry was that it was kind of botch things up. More so for Karaoke Night and Duet Roulette, which are based off of randomization. For instance, I pull 15 songs out of the list randomly for Karaoke Night. Because now there are songs for specific things, it's going to take the randomization out of it a bit...I'll have to pull numbers for longer.

    It makes the list a bit more limited. It's supposed to be a big pool of songs, but with specifications, it turns into a bit less of that. I didn't want it to become a habit to specify, because that ultimately gives us less songs than we have for each category. Hopefully that'll balance itself out when we get more suggestions, but meh. /Jaynproblemsnooneelsecaresabout
