Ok, My baby here is dead.

Some one, come up with a cool RP idea to get this place moving.

I was thinkin' about an RP set in fuedal Japan. Add the appropriate mythology and folklore, and it might be kinda cool (just what has been lacking from every other RP: N1NJ4-M4G1C!!11)

*cough* plus, I haven't had a chance to talk to Indy and haven't the slightest notion as to where we left off on our plans for PRPT *cough*

Two years ago, I created the character Tsuki Kokoro, who was supposed to be a female ninja. The reason I never got around to writing for her was because I knew jack shit about fuedel Japan. Mm. Sweet nostalgia. I'd have to revise her character fully, because she was an angst queen, just like me at the time...

But I don't think a new RP is the solution to the RP trouble lately.

We need about five to ten people who really want to RP. Set times on when they'll all be on AIM, so there can be an exclusive chatroom for that... or you could set up a new channel in IRC. Or something. And just have hour or two hour spurts of writing. Quality not being a big issue... someone writes something, says their done, and now it's someone else's term. With a distinct post order, so you know exactly who to pester to get their post done.

Iono. From what I knew of the HO two years ago, that was a majorly effective method. I know Ez has been wanting something like that, as do I. Reliable partners to write/roleplay with on a nearly everyday basis.

RT2... just seems so overdone, and everyone has too many characters to control. And I'm pretty pissed that my partner has become very absent for months on end, and I have to write for both characters. I work horribly and am very unmotivated alone... which is why I'm still not finished with my RT2 scene.

My $0.02.

Clay? Yeah, I'm kinda put out too. He still has a lemon post to write for me.

No, Clay's fine. In fact, he's waiting for me to get my ass in gear. It's Indigo. His character, the one I'm in the living room or whatever with. Clay's more than done his duty in RT2.

What do you think would happen if an rp was started where post order is fixed, etc. but it is started somewhat randomly? ie, by just one person posting stating what their character is doing, with others finding out about the character's background through their interactions with that character? First post determining the setting and style, of course, and maybe PM whoever started it in order to join and get a place on the post-order list?

I move to ban the OOC thread (until absolutely necessary) for whatever RP we do next.

I'm interested in trying a RP sometime. I'd prefer a modern or sci-fi setting but anything is okay with me. I mean, my ideal RP would be a sixties crackhouse in Hong Kong or something and I don't think that'd be too popular. All I want an excuse to take the fifty jillion characters I've had since forever for a spin.

Well, If I hadn't thought you had died...you could get online once in a while, find me on IRC or PM me, we'll get it going again.

How about this for an idea.

Part of the problem is the OOC threads and discussions. I can understand wanting to collaborate to make a story flow more easily, but when you have to check with 5+ people for every idea just to make sure it doesn't fuck with continuity, it just cripples the pace. So, create an RP with no script, no planning, no discussion. The plot can go anywhere as long as it flows, so no sudden changes of reality. Nothing is permanent. Anything you introduce can be destroyed by anyone else and you can't do anything about it. If you don't like it, change it. Would this work?

wolfy's probably got the idea. The problem with our epics is that when key writers bow out or just up and plain vanish, everyone else either gets stuck, or is too afraid to carry on with the RPing.

Well I think it's fairly apparent that there is interest in keeping a rp going. I'm liking Wolf and Mad's ideas. A free-form rp with no pressure on posting is a great way to play I think.

now we just need to pick what game to play.

How abotu this.

Everyone who has made ten posts in an RP is given an "Event Card" To be played whenever they wish to.

Said event will be an external event, such as an Earthquake, a terrorist attack, a power-strike, aliens arrive and bring a new flavour of jelly etc.
It would directly affect the whole story, but not be caused by anyone particular person in the story.

The "cards" would have to be almost long enough to be a post by themselves BUT would be vague enough that the user could add their own details as well as details pertinent to the story(say if it moved to another city).

Also it could be used a bit tactically to give the user an advantage(ie He invests in anti-earthquake shoes two posts before using it).

Its 2am in the morning and I'm channeling Steve Jackson.

Actor.

Or someone could resurrect one of the existing RPs (minus the OOC thread if it already has one), and go from there. For example, the Kyhm Forums Lemon is sitting there just aching for some hawt lesbian action and so forth. Couldn't you just see a female evil-actor and a female michael the giraffe getting it on?

Or someone could revive this thread.
