Cloud> What you guys up to today then?
MiB-The-Carebear> Laze
MiB-The-Carebear> maybe post in the PRPT
Crash> Well, as you can see from the title bar, we were discussing black holes.
* Cloud chuckles
Cloud> Im still being left to come up with a feasable plot for the Explariates (sp?) vs the Megatokyoites RP
MiB-The-Carebear> Why do you need to come up with a plot?
Cloud> Because plots are fun
MiB-The-Carebear> It wouldn't be an RP if you had some predetermined plot to run us through
MiB-The-Carebear> Write a story if you want plot.
Cloud> Nah, just a basic storyline, sort of, ropey if you know what I mean
Cloud> sort of like
Cloud> "How they got there, and this is what happened next"
MiB-The-Carebear> no
Cloud> And then people play
* MiB-The-Carebear bows to Bish for saving him the trouble
madadric> by plot, do you mean premise?
Cloud> .... yes
Cloud> Ive been working for the last 9 hours and my brain is fried
Cloud> I just meant
Cloud> "THeyt ended up here via space warp/black hole/mmmmm pie. What happens next?"
* Crash has left #EN
Cloud> I scared him off *chuckle*
madadric> so what have you got so far Cloud?
madadric> you got a setting/theme for us to rumble in yet?
Cloud> I was thinking something along the lines of a really basic thing thus far
Cloud> Two fortresses, and there's something inside the others that we want, problem being
Cloud> I cant figure out what each side would want
Cloud> or, how I'd get them there
Cloud> Or who'd take part
madadric> sorta like CTF
Cloud> Sort of
MiB-The-Carebear> "The Fundamentals" has some of the most applicable things for a free-form RP, I think
madadric> hmmm, idols?
* Indigo has joined #en
* ChanServ sets mode: +v Indigo
Cloud> Idols?
Cloud> That seems a little... fanboyish I think
madadric> the MT camp may have taken say, Jordan hostage, and EN/ES camp has ping
Cloud> Hmmm.
madadric> hmm, true,
BiShou_Reading> MT has Clay and EN has Ruben? o_o
Cloud> Its for the explariates vs megatokyo
MiB-The-Carebear> wrong idols, Bish...I HOPE...
Cloud> RP thing I've been asked
Cloud> to make.
Cloud> fucking brain, gah, I swear its making me think I wrote this stuff
madadric> could just be a matter of "bad blood"
Cloud> There isnt that much bad blood though
Cloud> Thats why Im thinking there should be a basic plotline, or something
madadric> two rival armies that have been at a cold-war state for a decade or so, and any small thing could set it off into full-scale war
Cloud> Princess ping was captured in combat by the explariate forces
Cloud> Or, *chuckle*
Cloud> say a third state, captures them both
Cloud> and tricks both nations into going to war, thinking that each side has their idol?
madadric> advanced weapons, perhaps, ES mob has a new majic based weapon, and MT has a tech-base weapon, and each side wants to know what the other's is, without starting and 'incident'
madadric> i like the third power idea, someone manipulating the two sides behind the scenes
Cloud> If we're playing it like, members of the forum are the various nations
Cloud> then perhaps the third state could be someone who uses both forums?
madadric> egging both sides on..the 'weapons dealer' who profits from the continued disharmony
Cloud> Yup
madadric> i like that,
Cloud> I think Ill post it in the Forums, this log, if no one has any objections?
--

So that's what I'm thinking of, now, to inform those of the MT forums of the potential RP thread, if anyone has any ideas whatsoever, please feel free to throw their thoughts into the ring.

*Is "Tosse" on the MT forums and will be stuck slap bang in the middle if he enters.
So in other words it sounds like fun. =)
Too bad I'm going to boot camp in a month. =/

...And Ping in the hands of the EN/ES crew... What a horrid thought. War would be bound to ensue. :lol:

*Hears voice: "Join the dark side."

"..."

Okay. :D

Okay, so we pin both sides against each other or what? I'm quite familiar with war strategy, so it'd be easy. :wink:

M-kay... I'ma go install Debain on my comp now. =)

Oh... If ya PM me after 14.7.03, I most likely won't be able to take an active role. 6 months after that I hope to be out of boot camp and back on track, but with my luck the dust will be long settled by that time. :lol:

God, I did that once. I regretted it and immediately went back to Slackware.

YES, yes yessss... I like this idea (I nagged for it)

Hmmm, what kind of background would we put it? Medieval (hard for beings like Ping) modern or SF?

Heh, I can just see how Rand would react when he sees Largo:

Rand: He talks of 'elite'? He talks of 'owning people'? The people's wrath shall rend him asunder, and I shall be it's incarnation.

Heh, count me in once it starts (hope not to soon, cause I DO still have exams)

I'm in for this, even though I do have an account at the MT forums I never got around to using it so I'll stay an ExPat for now.

As for settings... Steam-Punk maybe? Thats a genre that hasn't been used very often in RPing.
Also it allows magic and technology, although not the high level of tech that Ping is....

Yeah, but that story was a bit one-sided. :-?
It seems the one planned will feature both MT and EN/ES people, so the opposition between the camps would be real.

As for fantasy/modern/SF-style, I also think some kind of mix of them would work best. Many are focused on one style only, and asking a fantasy player to go 100% SF, vice versa, isn't really fair.

Oh, and I'm lazy. 'apt-get install' is the Debian easy way out. ;D

Unfortunately for this RP, no one on the MT forums is interested.
I fear a Image may be neccesary, could I bother some of you to do it?

MT forum thread:- Here

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that the thread in the MT forum was created yesterday. If this is the case, why does it need bumping?

Because the forum is run on Angst, as yet their levels are not at a critical state. We need to appear and bitch about our lives until the levels hit the red zone.

Hm...One question would be: Do we go 'every man for himself' or do the Megatokyans and the Expatriates have armies at their disposal? Heh, the First Church of Miho VS. The Cult of Godless Commie Traitors. A bloody battle.

I say we have an army for each, and individiaul forum members start off at a certain level, perhaps? :)

We don't do levels.

We do powers yes, but we don't do levels. It ain't about levels, anyway; read the stickified topic at the top of the RP section for why.
