GAMMA GANG part IX: Tricky Mission System

Introducing a new approach for item distribution and a new use of singular.app - The Tricky Mission System:

Mission in the Gammaverse are based on real Kusama accounts, that are used as destinations. The destinations will seldom be given out in plain texts or tweets. Mostly they will be riddles or hidden somewhere. Missions are planned to have only a temporary availability.

To stop people from sending their Gang to wrong destinations or missions that aren't active anymore, we developed the Tricky Mission System, that uses a singular.app collection as overview for active missions. That collection called "Tourmap" does not contain anything for sale - instead all active "gigs" (missions) are listed as NFT. They further contain the requirements and the benefits of going to that mission. That is, if it's not one of the many secret riddle missions where you will be ending up with more ???'s than usefull information. The names of the NFTs represent the accounts where the Gang needs to be shipped - but without providing the whole address. It's just a checking system, to see if the destination is active and correct. By burning we deactivate missions and might remint them as "past missions" for better overview. And yes there are already some missions-codes hidden, but no, they are not active as long as there are no NFTs in the "Tourmap" collection

Mission Restrictions The Gamma Gang will be able to board their "Ships" and ride out to Gigs. But these missions can be restricted to crew size, ship size or different characters as well as character classes that have to be onboard. One other restriction is the minimum lvl the captain steering the ship needs to have. Also your "Ship" must have enough supply. Every Gamma Bird can be equipped into the captain slot.

Gamma Clones

Clones are a way to fill up your crew if you are missing crew members or want to sail more than one ship with your captains. But watch out, they are not suited for the job, so chances are high that they break during your haul. Clones are no Gamma Birds, so they can't drive a "Ship" as captain or go on solo missions.

Loot & Losses Most missions grant you xp (see part XIII) and loot but come with some dangers. You won't kill your Gamma Birds, don't worry, but you might end up with broken clones, lost crewmembers, someone asking for your drivers licence or worst case you might come back without the expected loot. Loot can be a gammazon-crime box with some fresh item as well as a clone you found in the backstage, obviously without anyone in need of that thing and other surprises. These are calculated in percentages and sometimes known in advance (very low/middle/high/very high). To gather bigger loot your ship needs to be equipped with a flight case.

First! Comming first or early on some gig grants you higher chances to get rare stuff or even gives you unique items.

Time All missions take time. At the end of a mission the Ships sail back to their owners, hopefully with loot. Beeing first means having to wait a longer time. But you will have higher chances to get something great or lower chances to get harmed.

Disclaimer: MidTermSupport, EOL We are testing the mission system on the Gamma Gang to find out how something like this works out as a item distribution system. We don't plan to have the mission system running forever, as it needs lots of time and resources and the Gang is a PoC, not a game or a metaverse. Expect midterm support and some day maybe the EOL of the missions. That ofc doesn't mean that we won't test out new ideas to distribute items with the Gamma Gang before, while and after the Tricky Mission System is running. If it works out fine, and the system is useable and not affected by breaches or errors, maybe you might find it again, in some other NFT-Collection, in bigger and better. We want to make this clear, so nobody buys metaverse hopium or false expectations. We would love to keep a cool gamification like this running, but we would need to end our research and development and stay forever with creating new missions and helping ships to get back to their owners, packed with blingbling and wealth. We prefer not to.
