if you haven't received the name yet, the full name is worldburnrp

I hadn't but I went to look and man is it hard to read main on the actual blog. Also I can see that the actual memberlist is just a follow list of blogs and if you want to know who was accepted you have to scroll through the plot to see the acceptances and unfollows. And I'm sorry but the text on the blog when looking at it not through the dash is so small and hard to read. It's not very accessible or friendly so you have to read it on dash just for a hope to understand. my eyes are twitching out way too much

[mneverland]

So I’m not sure who to send this to. I can’t tell who the gifs belong to that they are using but they did reblog your photo. There is a character at worldburnrp who is using Ayca Aysin Turan as an fc but their name is Lenny Moreno. I’ve sent messages to the main blog about using a Turkish name but they have been ignored. Don’t feel the need to post this if you don’t want to, but I wasn’t sure who to tell to spread the world. I don’t want to make them a villain but even changing the surname to Turkish would be an improvement over the currant name and it’s just being ignored.

Hello! Thanks for letting me know, but I confess I don't know what to do in such cases. I've never been in this situation before, so if anyone has been, feel free to write what they used to do. Also, I don't know exactly which account uses, if you can write me privately, I would appreciate it. Have a nice day! :)

“It was a maddening image —

Little by little, the rooftop space filled up with guests. It’s impossible for a rum-sponsored party not to turn lively; and certainly, it has. While some are happy with their drinks and stay in the venue, drinking and dancing their spirits away — others choose to venture out, either returning to their rooms or getting lost in the maze that are the corridors of The Mark hotel.

In either case, the night is light and young, and there’s not a worry in their minds.

Little do they know however, that in the shadows, the Syndicate awaits.

— and the only way to whip it was to hang on until dusk —

Although the night had been planned to exhaustion, it’d been all but a coincidence that the operation had fallen on the same date as the party launch. It’s a blessing, at the same time that it’s a curse; more people circulating the area isn’t ideal — but a sea of potential issues isn’t so much so, if they’re impaired to begin with.

130 million dollars, gone up in flames. But they ought to make their money back, somehow.

So here the Syndicate hides, and at around 10:30, they strike. Swift and professional as ever, they go completely unnoticed — and they will take all that they can.

A highly effective heist, right under their noses. Those 130 million earned back in just a night.

No wild cards, no action that isn’t necessary, were the instructions given. Money, jewelry, art, anything of true value — that’s what they’re after. Designed as a victimless crime as far as bloodshed goes, the Syndicate still accounts for all. No issue, lest you get in their way.

— and banish the ghosts with rum.”

Unfortunately however, some unlucky few have. As instructed, should anyone be a concern, be it that they’re found in their rooms or other areas in the midst of the operation — they should be neutralized, by whatever means necessary. All with still keeping their anonymity, and succeeding at their tasks.

The pairs that have crossed paths are:

Ludovica Malatesta and Rus Ralston

Nora Vidal and Lee Malkovich

Zafar and Mathias Cain

Vir Zafar and Ibrahim Ziani

Abel Rousseau and Nik Erykssen

Oliver Wright and Jin Yoo

Tima El-Masri and Audra Smythe-Priestley

Avi Grover and Samar Burman

Max Szczesny and Enzo Principe

Karolina Erykssen and Samar Burman

OOC Info:

Part Two out of Three.

Part two will run for a few days, to allow for everyone to comfortably write their interactions in time; an update will be made both on the blog and discord for subsequent parts.  

There is no requirement that people drop previous event threads set during Part 1 — but we encourage everyone to prioritize Part 2. This can be either through new fresh threads, or shifting your Part 1 thread into Part 2.

For characters not involved in the conflict, there are no restrictions to replying to starters (or continuing things) from Part 1, unless they were posted by someone, or are written with someone involved in the conflict. In that case, those starters may no longer be replied to. You’re also free to start any new things with other non-conflict characters as you wish.

If you wish to have any injuries (be them major or minor) or heavy impacting plots happen involving your character, please contact the admins so we can include it into the narrative.

Those in the conflict are encouraged to come up with scenarios where, mid-robbery, one would have the other held hostage. Be it at a hotel room, in some hidden office, or anywhere that is far from view and where there would be plenty to steal. They’re on a mission, after all. As always, if you have trouble coming up with ideas, the admins are always willing to help.

At the end of this post, we offer challenges to the guests. However, those are simply suggested interactions — and even if you choose to write it, your character is not limited to just writing those.

SYNDICATE CHARACTERS:

[ ALL SYNDICATE MEMBERS ARE WEARING NEUTRAL BLACK CLOTHING AND MASKS. IF THEIR CLOTHES WEREN’T NEUTRAL AT THE PARTY, THEN AT THIS POINT THEY WOULD HAVE CHANGED. NOTHING ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE (THAT THEY CAN CONTROL) SHOULD BE RECOGNIZABLE. EVEN IF ENCOUNTERING SOMEONE THEY HAVE MET BEFORE, THEY ARE TOLD TO KEEP THEIR IDENTITIES SECRET TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES. ]

For Syndicate members especially, Part 2 should be prioritized so that plots can flow easily.

If you have Part 1 threads, we won’t ask that you drop them, but that you work your way into finishing them — with your characters, above all, keeping in mind that they have a job to do. It might be a night of fun for everyone else, but not them.

From now on, you can only interact with other Syndicate members, or the character you were paired with.

You can write as many mid-robbery threads with your fellow Syndicate members as your heart desires. Interactions amongst them are allowed, and absolutely encouraged!

As far as the rest of the party goes, you may only interact with the character yours was paired with, as one is the other’s hostage.

Your character should be focused in the robbery itself and collecting valuable goods. Anyone they’ve encountered is damage control.

Important: this is meant to be an incredibly secretive and smooth operation. Get in, get out, without causing disturbance. The main party should not have any inkling or knowledge that this is happening.

POINTS AND CHALLENGES:

Syndicate members and conflict volunteers will each earn 20 points for writing their paired threads. (It doesn’t matter if one character ‘wrote’ the starter; both members will be awarded points.)

All remaining characters will earn 20 points for completing the challenges prompted below. They are not mandatory, but we will reward you if you choose to go forth with them.

The points above will be awarded at the end of the event, to account for any starters going unanswered or quickly dropped, as we wish to be as fair as possible.

Surprise! We’re also rewarding conflict volunteers with 30 points for being wonderful team players and allowing us to use their characters for this plot. We adore you and appreciate you, so here’s a small gesture to reflect that!

CHALLENGES:

Jennifer Callaghan recognizes Izaak Walker from his internet presence, and attempts to strike an interview, or even a comment. Izaak knows it’s unadvisable to go forth with it, given all the rum ingested tonight.

Andrea Galán has been avoiding Aaron Keaton, until they cross paths. There’s an inkling or knowledge of her involvement with crime, and tensions rise.

Gideon Hayes is spotted by an off duty Joaquim Borges whilst trying to deal — be it to a random guest, or worst yet, the very detective himself.

Danvir Persaud thinks he recognizes Laith Hassan, from briefly crossing paths in the law-and-lawful world. There’s no reason for a sketch artist and a lawyer to engage however, until now — that they’re both trying to get a vending machine to work.

Renata Cervantes-Müller and Úrsula Villa are both powerful women in their own right — except that they share far different ideals, and defend different people. It’s been easy to avoid one another thus far, until the elevator doors fail, locking them in.

A dentist and the state’s most prominent politician walk into a... bathroom. It’s a classic, slightly awkward, run-in. Except this time, it involves Nicholas Bergeron — and Julian Berkeley.

Jakob Cervantes-Müller is a busy man, and the things keeping him busy aren’t the kindest. For prevention (and future endeavors), he needs a lawyer — and he’s heard Adam Starke is one of the best. What a coincidence, that their drinks just got mixed up at the bar.

Constance Romero, the Cartel’s informant manager, is always on the lookout for future contacts. Like some other select people, she’d heard of Lev Movska’s defection from The Brotherhood — and hell if she isn’t going to try and get all of that knowledge into archive for them. The enemy of my enemy, as they say.

With too much rum in their system, Lola Villarin and Diego Romero end up wandering — testing every other room for unlocked doors. Eventually, they make it into a suite; it’s all fun and games, until the lock won’t allow them back out.

Hazel Arthur and Ryan Fitzgerald barely look at each other, when touching up their make-up in the lobby’s bathroom. But they have to acknowledge each other’s presence when they realize they’re locked in — and Hazel hasn’t heard back from her partner in far too long.

They’d both had the same idea — the hotel’s fire escape as the perfect spot for a smoke break. Hans Starke and Zuleika Sandoval are now forced to share the space (that both claim to have found first).

Bob Bekker and Aera Paek, different positions at different publications. One man with success in his horizon, and a woman who can grant anyone it. It’s a throw-away conversation until the words fact checker come to rise. The best paper, after all, is the most accurate one — would this man do her the favor of failing, in exchange for a brighter future?

Araceli Aguilar suddenly stops Heather Hyeon Seo in the middle of the lobby, with an unwarranted prediction of her future. Even if Heather doesn’t believe in it, it’s intriguing enough that she must hear more.

Rahi Kumar is well known for his love of the sky, preferring to gaze upwards towards the heavens; it is this exact preference, that sends him careening into Andel Kenza, who scurries away from a main party room, clutching what appears to be an empty bottle of rum, a strange substance congealed on its base. The pair stare at another another - a stalemate. 

Erin Katz was never a woman to wait for opportunity to simply knock on her door - she prefers to kick it in herself, a stiletto crashing through wooden panels. JJ Baptiste is a man who can make or break you in this city, and with the intriguing wallet she’s just found on the floor, she thinks she’s got enough leverage to earn his ear as he lords over a table in the back of the bar.

Moon Subin is currently scouting the media world, looking for new voices to either support his agenda in the press — or to simply gain insight. It’s unclear which Maureen Keaton could be, yet... but it’s worth a try.

FINAL NOTES

1 — If by any chance your pairing partner, or your challenge partner doesn’t get back to you — please contact the main page and we will rearrange things so that you may still write it! No one will be left without some event fun, we promise.

2 — If you’ve missed the window to volunteer your character for conflict, or you have joined recently and didn’t know about it, you can shoot the main page a message and we will do our very best to include you into the action. Only main page messages, please — as Discord will be hard to keep track of.

3 — As always, the admins are only a message away should you have any questions.

Part 2 interactions are now open. Have fun!

i was browsing tags for rps to join and i can’t help but see one in particular for a group called worldburn, and seeing what people had to say about them immediately let me know who runs the group and i figured i’d make this lil post just as a beware for anyone thinking about joining that crime rp. and if you happen to be an admin at that group, then hey what’s up you’re not slick.

SO. let’s go with the claims that other people have had. they don’t list their ooc list on main (this is because their admins are problematic as shit, they’ve been in other groups and have rubbed people the wrong way because they’re cliquey, elitist, and have some shitty ass takes when it comes to things like RACE)

so let’s piggyback off that race thing. i personally haven’t been in worldburn but i have been in other rps with the admins and boy do they have some dogshit takes about race…. first off they believe that people of certain races should play muses of that race (talk about limiting your muns!!). which is echoed by other posts about how they have latinx fcs and box them in as cartel members (who even has a cartel in their group what the fuck lmfao). if you all don’t know i am black, im proud of being black but for someone to say that i should only play black muses is racist as fuck??? not to mention these same people call white muns racist for not playing poc characters,,,???

also wanted to say that, they write about very touchy things since you are a crime rp but don’t be tasteless. i heard these people ran a blog called coldblooded which was a political rp. but basically, this is just a post to beware! if you’re a poc or you just don’t wanna be in a toxic environment i would avoid that group!

[twiggyrps]

also, worldburnrp is literally where the shit of tumblr fester. the admin, who went by dani in the crime group we were a part of. literally got bad vibes from her the moment i joined and kept my distance (the rp was large enough to where i didn't have to interact with her). other than her personal traits that were garbage she had shit takes on race and was a fucking bully. be cautious about worldburn.

A few other rpt/rph have posted about the admins’ past and from looking at their accepted posts, there are or have been a few individuals that have done or said some questionable things in the past. Let’s not forget that the admins ran coldbloodrp and not only allowed but defended roleplayers’ choices to have characters that supported Tr*mp.

LOCATION: gentille fille WHEN: late-ish evening WHO: open @worldburnrp​

The escort sighed, an overly dramatic affect intended to draw eyes to her lilting frame. Those who knew, knew - she wasn’t on stage, but she didn’t need to be. Verónica was a force to be reckoned with - the darling of this level of the club, bestowing her attention on whoever caught her eye with a indulgent smirk and slight wink as she sipped her champagne. First glass, of course, Verónica never drank more than two glasses when she was working, she knew how to fake it of course - and had plenty of drugs to keep herself engaged enough to attract her usual clients.  

“Bet on red,” Verónica leaned forward on the roulette table, smiling at the person placing said bet with more than a little flirtation. “It’s my best color,” she intentionally tossed a sheet of dark curls over her shoulder, revealing more of her generous cleavage. She took another sip of her champagne, sighing with pleasure. “Even if you lose, I’ll make it worth your while.”

“In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught.”

The wrong place, at the worst time. In a hotel with over a hundred rooms, lobbies filled with staff, and a party raging at its rooftop — eight isn’t a bad number, as far as casualties go.  

It’s a game of stay quiet and obey, made a challenge if you’re Vir Zafar — confronted with an all-business Ibrahim Ziani. A couple floors down, Ludovica Malatesta faces Rus Ralston in her room, substances running too high in her veins to truly cooperate. And whereas her colleagues are used to the heat, Audra Smythe-Priestley makes of Tima El-Masri her first victim, a few doors to their right. Samar Burman claims the 10th floor — where tensions rise against Karolina Erykssen, who dares fight back; and Avi Grover, who hopefully will not.

All the while on ground floor, Nik Erykssen finds Abel Rousseau to be in his way — as they meet at the conference room. The same qualm between Oliver Zafar and Mathias Cain, out under the night sky. And down in the underground, Nora Vidal is confronted by Lee Malkovich as the underboss raids what The Mark Hotel holds dearest: their vault. Theodore Choi and Jin Yoo, albeit away from the scene, are no less responsible for The Syndicate’s success: passwords unlocked, cameras gone dark, every trace erased.

A well-oiled machine, operating like clockwork. Never mind Caravaggio; this is their prime.

Leaving no clues behind, The Syndicate drives off into a silent night — out of Manhattan and all the way to Jumping Jack, where a celebration awaits. It wasn’t until two hours after the end of the party, that one of the hostages managed to free themselves and call 911. And it wasn’t until the next morning, that it hit the news. But with all vital information lacking, even the headlines read like rumors. CNN reports:

HEIST AT THE MARK HOTEL: $100 MILLION STOLEN

On the night of July 2nd, The Mark Hotel reports that a robbery took place inside its walls. The criminals, still unidentified, reportedly walked away with a variety of valuable goods, with jewelry and art pieces alone estimated to be worth $100 million.

Eight people were held hostages in their rooms and other areas of the hotel throughout the operation. There are no reports of injury.

The heist reportedly lasted anywhere from one to three hours, unbeknownst to hotel staff. One of the hostages, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the perpetrators as “professionals” who “were only after the money”. They wore masks and clothes to avoid identification. The first report came hours after they had already fled the scene.

The NYPD works with The Mark Hotel to find the culprits, but with the lack of evidence and security footage, an officer states: “We have a lot of work ahead of us.”

The news cycle on June 3rd is the first that party attendees hear of it. All under their noses, with no disturbance to their fun. Now they’re left thinking, how many clues they might have just overlooked.

To the Syndicate, it looks, feels, and tastes like a victory. Whether or not that’s what it is — only time will tell.

RECAP: PART 1 | PART 2

OOC Info:

Part 3 out of 3.

The event is officially over, and players are free to have interactions outside of it. What your approach is, is up to you! You can have interactions right after the event, or choose to set it present time (two and a half weeks after). Whatever works for you, works for us.

If you’d like to set your new threads the night of the event, we just ask that they take place after part 2 or 3.

There is no need to drop your event threads. In fact, we encourage you to carry through with writing them, especially plot-heavy and those prompted through challenges. Events are a wonderful way to get new plots and connections that perhaps would otherwise not be possible — so we encourage you to make the most of it!

However, please refrain from replying to open starters that were set during the event, as those are now closed.

Thank you for such an incredible event! We <3 you!
