The Mesh - Discussion/Planning

[Mickey Mouse]

Hey y’all! 

So a while back, Greg had talked about establishing a de facto good guy faction, called “Mesh,” to defend the OV from anti-humanitarian threats. Since his (and therefore Samus’) departure, I’ve been mulling an idea to continue that theme in good faith without executing it exactly as he planned, and I’ve a sort of landed on establishing something like an Omniversian United Nations.

The Mesh that will be created by Mickey will be a network of diplomats, existing to foster a sense of peace in the OV, rather than the “saving damsels” type of good guy faction (ie The Avengers, who already cover that pretty well). I’m still not sure exactly what shape this would take, but my hope is that it would eventually lead to a meeting of all major rulers in the OV, including Aragorn and Palpatine, kinda like an Omniversian Kingsmoot, which I’ve taken to calling the Meshmoot. 

That is obviously SUPER far off, and I’m still sort of in the baby stages of how this would logistically work — the idea is to forge connections between the different factions and facilitate peace, which is obviously always tenuous and always in need of monitoring, and will, for plot reasons, probably fall apart no matter how Mickey tries. But I wanted to put it out there that this was an idea I was tinkering with, and open it up for discussion/suggestions/interest expression.

So yeah. Baby idea, but yeah.

The 13th Legion would be involved if the Empire were to commit to any sort of meeting.

[The Vision]

Out of character, I think this is an interesting direction for the entire world to go and your character has the in-universe influence to pull this off. In character, I mean, you would do what we do on a scale that’s less exciting but equally important. You’ve already mentioned us but you have our support.

Don't forget Gilgamesh!

[Sarah Kerrigan]

And here I am with an upcoming third character well suited to this : ).
Very interested in seeing this go up!

i have a sneaking suspicion murder mouse will not want our glorious king attending the moot, Should one of our emissaries show up we will be promptly given the boot.

[Mickey Mouse]

Gilgamesh is super invited.

[Serraph Quarrere]

Tempted to throw Miranda here. Policy with affiliations with other factions?

Your king murdered Samus, so he had to take a beating in the anus.

[Bandit With No Name]

Sinestro will gladly join such an organization. His mission to create peace, order, and public welfare in the Dunes is well documented.

This is not a joke like the one in the Avengers was >_>

[Lucas Kellan]

Sure, either Jak or Lucas would be interested.

[Kuzuru]

I would gladly be our the Omniverse's North Korea analog.

In all seriousness I love this idea and would love to interact with it through NPCs and even as a potentially antagonistic force.

Also I think "The Mesh" is a really cool name for a UN-style faction.

[Luci]

Just popping to say I'm aware of this thread. I dunno what the Westside will want to do, if they will try to join Mesh or not, or even become adversaries. Cool thing though.

[Amaterasu]

Heaven and Earth's goals are going to be lining up pretty well with Mesh's, once both factions actually come into being! Granted, we are going to have that whole "militia in case of conflict" thing going on too, but still.
I wonder if by the time Mesh reaches enough size to attract the attention of Aragorn and Palpatine Amber and Ammy will be noticeable enough to be invited too :thinking:

[Victor Wolfe]

This would be cool, NB already had eventual plans for an OV Geneva convention that we would be inviting all factions to, so this alignes nicely with that.

Yeah, and Mickey and Gilgamesh are tentatively on good terms now, so he's definitely invited.

So, a totally not exhaustive list of factions - big and small - in the OV that might, eventually, be interested in coalescing at one big huge event. Like I said, this is... v far off, the idea is still in its infancy IC. But if I've missed a faction (and I definitely have) you think should be included, please let me know.

[Karl Jak]

My good friend Andrew Ryan is so disappointed with you, Mr. Mouse.

[Trixie]

Unfortunately you may not have a choice with Diablo's Army if you're inviting NPC Factions. Just so you're 100% aware, lore wise.

Hey, when you shut yourself off from everyone else in the world... people think you don't wanna come...

Oh, I'm hoping they'll crash.
