I guess it's not an RPG per se, but I think you know what I'm getting at. Just post the places, organizations and people that you suspect to be a Controller, Yeerk Front or Pool Entrance. Try not to be offensive. Also, steer clear from naming any religious groups [Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Jewish faith, etc]
-
It's really not so much about being religious as it is about the location. Any church that involves a confession booth would make a great entrance to a temporary Yeerk pool. I say this because it's what I'm planning to do for my next [shameless plug] Chronicles of Sean Fic[/shameless plug]. In most confession booths the curtain completely obscures the confessor. Insert a false door and pull the controller in and voluntary, or involuntary, the controller sits in a special side room. Even the priest's rectory where people sometimes go for counseling, etc.
In any major city like New York or LA, you'd have a massive underground infrastructure that people disappear into all the time.
-
This one is fairly obvious but I'm not sure if it conforms to what you need.
Scientology.
-
If it's not an RPG, it should be moved. [/report to mod]
-
Going old school but a dressing room at retail stores in a mall... Or the handicapped stalls in both bathrooms. Like when you lock the door, the wall and toilet moves back and to the right, revealing a passage to the pool. Then you push on the toilet flusher to make it go back into place and unlocks the door.

Weirdest place I've ever used? Under this guy's dishwasher...

Maybe we should get into the practice of just reporting it to the mod without bogging the thread down with posts mentioning that you've reported it?
-
Yeah. Maybe we should.
-
Right...
Anyways, here are some places I think could DEFFINITELY be Yeerk Pool Entrances:
1) Macdonalds
2) Starbucks
3) The locker rooms of any gym/fitness center
4) Janitor's closet/stage of my high school
5) The back rooms of the following teen-trend clothing stores: H&M
: West 49
: Aeropostale
: Abercrombie and Fitch
-
4) Janitor's closet/stage of my high school
Can't rule out JD's locker either... :p
-
Basically any place where people go a lot and frequently throughout the week.
-
Any elevator. Anywhere.
-
well it would have to be a rather boring place that nobody ever really goes for it to be a decent entrance, but at the same time if people saw you go in there nobody would really question it either. I imagine any number of warehouses would be perfectly fine for this job.
-
Conversely, you'd want a place that plenty of people go to so that it doesn't draw attention to the fact that a lot of people seem to be going there.

true enough, but what I would be worried about if I was a yeerk designing these things, would be people randomly bumping into these things. imo that is why random elevators wouldn't work.

Actually that'd be a great way to round up more hosts. A bunch of street punks walk in thinking they own the place, they walk out with yeerks in their heads and proceed to recruit more unsuspecting kids into their "gang".

Hey, cool thread idea, TobiasMasonPark-dude.
I was never really sure how the playground entrance in The Illusiion.
It wouldn't exactly be inconspicous and subvert to see adult-Controllers waltzing in and out of them tunnel entrances.
I used to pretend that any place that had staircases were potential entrances. Mostly stairwells of resident apartments blocks or government buildings, like the city council or a library (so long as the Yeerks had already infiltrated those). The doors can look like any random ground floor door, only the Controllers would have a master key.
Bus stations are another one. Too hard to turn bus stops into one, but I can see actual bus ports being done.
Stadiums. Some partitions at the seasonal games would make great regular entrances.
For supply and maintanance entrances, we know the Yeerks were using forest and some front warehouse. But what about if there was something of a Yeerks 'school bus' that went around picking them Controllers up. Converting the interior of a fruit&vege truck into a collective human carriage would be right up there with the Yeerks' designs.
Any elevator. Anywhere.
Elevators are great. A special sequence on the buttons would do it. How many people play with the elevator buttons?! Unless it's we are talking The Chee, the chances of unlocking the password are about the same as someone unlocking any other regular password.
But would have to be specifically for the zones directly above the complex or some adjuncting tunnel, wouldn't it?
-
Wasn't there one of the Alternamorphs books that used an elevator as a Yeerk pool entrance? And I think they actually did have a special sequence of buttons that triggered it.
As for other entrance ideas, how about hotel rooms? People come and go from hotel rooms all the time, they have a built-in layer of security (you need a key card to get in), and nobody would get suspicious if someone went in and didn't come out for a while. Of course, you'd need to put the actual entrance somewhere where a maid wouldn't accidentally find it (maybe have a lever in the bathroom that opens a secret door, or maybe there could be a trapdoor under the bed), and you'd need to use rooms on the ground floor.
-
How about some end of alleyway fake sewage entrance?! Some underused spot in suburbia with one of them round metal lids that lead to the sewage tunnels.
-
Well don't forget the the exits are uses in a completely different place.
-
some sports stadium

some sports stadium
first,i know this is off topic but,i've been thinking,that,you know that people could be controllers on here and are telling us the wrong facts.EVEN RICHARD COULD BE A CONTROLLER :'(
-

i've been thinking that if we all make "fan clubs" that are really resistances we could invade the sharing easily and find out more.contact me at redips321@aol.com to help find more ideas.p.s.also contact me if u want to join the "fan clubs":)
-
getting a little too serious there man, the smite was only for the bad joke.

You are absolutely right. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Journey_(Alternamorphs) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Journey_(Alternamorphs)) and read the plot summary I wrote there.
-

THIS MAY SOUND DUMB AT FIRST.truth is if we make "fan clubs"that are really resistances,we could easily find some pools or entrances AND AT LEAST beat up some yeerks.PLUS,by the time the yeerks find out,we would be on them before they could tell anybody else.if nobody is in,suit yourself.i already have a team put together and we all have special techniques of our own.if your in, e-mail me at redips321@aol.com.
p.s.we have PLENTY of weapons.
-
I hope you realize that this isn't an RPG...
-
Not exactly a yeerk entrance but I know a great way to hide a hidden room: Circuit Breakers. Flip a switch and voila! A door opens.
-
If it's as simple as flipping a switch then hundreds of janitors would acidently open it up.
-
I hope you realize that this isn't an RPG...
and i hope u relize that this isnt a joke.these things are REAL.and fine.if u dont want to do something about it,then dont do anything about.but im going to atleast TRY.

ok shadow may be mentally ill
-
A word of advice, Shadow. Try not to insult Yeerks on a forum that is full of them. We have feelings too, you know.
As far as Yeerk Pool entrances are concerned (*veers back on topic*), I'm fairly sure the weight room at my climbing gym is one. I was belaying a friend a few weeks ago and suddenly heard a ton of yelling and screaming coming from that room. Someone was shouting "NO! NO YOU F*****R, YOU CAN'T TAKE ME!" and then abruptly stopped shouting. No one around me paid any attention, but they were all employees.
Freaked me out. I would have investigated, but I was tied to a rope and my friend was dangling 30 feet in the air. I thought it would be prudent to avoid dropping them.
Besides, I have a big enough gashad on my head that using local pools is probably a bad idea...
-
am i the only one not RPing?
-
Someone was shouting "NO! NO YOU F*****R, YOU CAN'T TAKE ME!"
Had that happen during gym class a few years back. Only it was me and they were picking volleyball teams. I hated volleyball.
-
happenss with me and whenever my dad wanted me to watch something on tv................
-
Shadow, I removed your post. Please watch your language. You'll note that when I had to refer to profanity above I censored it. There are young people on this forum and we want to be accessible to everyone.
Thank you. :)
-
I don't remember Shadow's post. But I think Newblaze should also be careful in the future. I get that you may have been kidding when you say Shadow may be mentally ill--though I find nothing humorous about mental illness myself--but it may offend other members.

Hahahahahahah! Brilliant!!
'Veering back on topic' yet again, how about public monuments and museums and such. Lots of side entrances that look locked, and loose cobblestones that suggest space for underground tunnels, in the places.
-
It was a partial joke and a bit of seriousness. Either hes kidding or he thinks this is one massive RP forum
-
umm...what does RPG mean?
-
Two definitions:
Noun; Rocket propelled grenade invented in the 1960's by dr charles J RPG
Noun: Role playing game, A game where you play as a self invented character. Invented in the 1970's by dice obsessed tolkien fans who since then have deprived college students of sleep

am i the only one that thinks yeerks are real?!
-
yes. Because its a book series.
-
imma ignore the bickering above and say a spa would be a great place for yeerking. people are in a relaxed state, lying down, takin a nap, dozing in the humid sauna, slight ear tingle, then bam, bliss be over
-
It isnt a tingle, it actually burn horribly
-
then if they ask, the attendant could quickly say it's the shampoo or maybe a reaction to the cucumbers
-
Still though some would reach in and feel the slug oozing in, which would lead to screaming or just grabbing the yeerk
-
that's what the attendant is there for
-
but then they couldo nly do it in private areas
-
fine, fine, what about on airplanes? it's not like the people can run away and if all the attendants (am i obsessed with that word today?) and the pilots are packin dracon beams, who's gonna argue
-
Ever heard of nine-eleven? The passengers overpowered the terrorists. And having to shoot them depletes the purpose and gives away the whole invasion.
-
those people were using knives hidden in their shoes. dracon beam > knife
all they need to do is shoot one person to set an example anyway.
-
that could just make people angry. And a knife could be used from behind.
-
wouldn't getting infested make people angry anyway?
they could have backup. if the pilots and flight attendants are already infested, that's already 5+ controllers depending on plane size. plenty people for watch their back.
-
I'm still gonna stick with school being one of the best places to get Controllers en masse. Or office buildings, but I'm less familiar with those, as I'm a teacher.
Students are, more or less, trained to listen to teachers. Obviously this doesn't always work perfectly, but it's how a student body of 3,000 is able to function with a staff of 300 (my school).
The hardest part would be infesting the principal of the school, but once that is taken care of the filter effect is fairly easily. Principal can call in his administrators (we have about 13 assistant principals) one by one, as well as his secretary, and forcibly infest them. He wouldn't even have to do it on campus if that would be too suspicious; administrators are always leaving for meetings. He could offer to drive one of them to a meeting or lunch or something and instead drag them to the nearest pool.
Once the 13 administrators are taken it would be useful to get the constables and general office staff infested - again, easy enough by a similar process. Then its on to the educational staff. Each administrator is over a certain department (English, math, special ed, gifted & talented, etc.) so they could call a meeting with their department after school. If necessary, at that point it'd be safe to bring Hork-Bajir in to help forcibly infest the rest of the faculty. One administrator plus two HB per room should suffice and not be too terrible of a force depletion.
Once all the teachers are taken it would be easy enough to stage a lock-down at the school, pretend it is a drill, and direct everyone a class at a time into the Yeerk Pool at Dracon point.
Bam. You have an entire school under control. Students can then go home and convince their parents to join this great new club called The Sharing and you have your in to a ton of businesses and industries crossing all salary ranges, professions and demographics.
-
thats a different thread, we're discussing what COULD be one. Theirs another one about what you would do if you were in charge
-
That thread is for if you were in charge of the entire war overall. I'm just pointing out the potential of schools as ridiculously strong fronts. Not saying it is what I would do if I were in charge of the whole war.
We saw the potential for this in #1 and it was never, IMO, explored thoroughly.
-
trained to listen to teachers, ya? that makes me think of trained to listen to cops. there were cop controllers, why not infest the people in jail? they are already cuffed, incapacitated or incarcerated - what are they gonna do to stop you?
then if the judge is a controller, he can let the controller prisoners go free and boom, lots of former normal bad people are seemingly rehabilitated good people with a secret infesting motive
-
Yeah, similar situation with hospitals. Especially since they have the advantage of anesthesia. Put someone under, infest them and when they wake up...insta-controller.
Which they tried to do in #6 and for some reason never revisited. It was a pretty great idea, actually.
-
kk i got an idea for an entrance instead of a front this time. how bout an automotive shop or an oil and lube kine place? people go take their cars, they're expected to wait for the car to get fixed or oil change so the fact that they are in the "waiting room" for a while will go unnoticed. not that people go get their oil changed every three days, but it wouldn't be so bad it if was one of many entrances
