Nostradamus wrote:Novus Ordo Turnaboutum is Latin for "New Order of the Turnabouts" (anyone who says that Turnaboutum isn't Latin is working for Them) and represents the nefarious and probably French forces that secretly control the world of Ace Attorney Online.
Task:
For this competition, create a case involving some sort of conspiracy. That is to say, two or more (ideally more) people secretly working together for some undoubtedly nefarious goal. It could be a government cover-up, a shady corporate scheme, systematic police corruption, widespread organized crime, illicit medical experiments, an ancient religious cult, secret societies, assassination plots, aliens, whatever! Go nuts! Uncover the secret origins of the Fey Clan, discover the Phantom's bosses, take down Bruto Cadeverini, battle the De Killers, reveal how GYAXA faked the moon landings, explore Area 51, fight cocoon smugglers who are actually reptilian humanoids who worship an extradimensional entity; the list is endless! Whatever paranoid fantasy floats your boat! Make us question what we know and see the "enemy" everywhere. After all, it's not paranoia if They really ARE out to get you...
(Canon examples of such conspiracies include Bluecorp, Gant's control of the police, the smuggling ring from Investigations, the Phantom's backers, Themis Academy's corruption, the Rivales gang, the assassination attempt in Turnabout Target and, well, if you've finished GK2, you know what I'm talking about.)
The Conspiracy does not necessarily have to be totally exposed or defeated by the end of the case, but it should play a significant role in the case (and would almost certainly be your villains (though not necessarily)).
Do note: theme relevance will be relatively important in this competition, especially compared to the last competition (the above paragraphs, of course, cover the basic parameters).
