>_<

No one can take a joke around here, can they?

 

Not when it's in a RP public planning thread and there are quite obviously some members here who think the joke is serious. Your "joke" could be misconstrued as a awfully mean put-down of that member, who simply did not read the rules closely enough and accidently posted that link.

 

Guys, this argument is getting a bit out of hand. Can we get back to, I dunno, planning RPs?

Go with the Illuminati. Aliens is too cliche for an RP like that, and it makes it seem like you actually gave your RP thought instead of using something that has been rehashed over and over again. What you have so far gives them their own 'flavor' of sorts for your RP, making it a bit unique. That's good.

 

ONE: Everything Lady posted (aside from the gender thing, lol) was all a JOKE. Meaning the whole "catch a pokemon this way" and "he has no potential" stuff was all a JOKE. In other words, you are taking things that don't even concern you WAY to personal my friend. I suggest re-reading before making a comment.

 

TWO: Those ideas I posted are NOT for my RP. I'm not even doing one just yet. Those ideas are in response to what Frybread asked for. He needed some ideas for some bad guys in his RP. I posted the first two that popped into my head literally ten seconds after reading what he was looking for. Yes, I am aware that Aliens is used a lot. I don't care. Frybread asked for some ideas, and I posted them. If he wishes to use Aliens, then so be it. If not, eh.

 

Now then, is there anything else I need to explain? Or are you ready to admit you blew things out of proportion, or at least drop this, and let everyone get on with their lives?

Eh? I am talking about planning an RP. I just got done posting some ideas for Frybread's RP. :\

Yes, but the other three members posting have not.

 

I agree with Rarity/Fenrir/Rinne/Ziggy Stardust/whatever your name is nowadays. The Illuminati idea sounds really innovative.

 

lolwut

I really did like the Illuminati idea as well. But I threw out the Alien idea too in case Frybread wanted something like that. :3

 

Rinne? ....what? O.o

 

The mod of this section, though he's changed his name now. I'd like to know how him and Fenrir are connected, however...

 

I- what, third?- the motion of the Illuminati. However, you'll have to get past the little roadblock of how the actual Illuminati has been dead for quite some time. But, I guess they don't call it secret organization for nothing, eh?

lolno. Not Rinne.

 

@Dwarven: It should be noted this was handled on Skype yesterday. So what you're telling me is getting extremely silly and only furthering the argument.

 

Point still stands. Illumanti > Aliens

 

What was handled on Skype yesterday? I have said quite a lot in this thread alone, so you will need to be more specific. :<

 

Also, Frybread can just say that the Illuminati allowed the general public, and any of their enemies, to assume they died out so that there would be LESS direct opposition against them. Make sense? But, if Frybread decides not to use the Illuminati, I just may very well use my own idea for my own RP.

 

EDIT: So, if Frybread DOES decide to use my Illuminati idea, then I have another idea I just may very well use. It's zombies. NOW, before everyone starts going "Eww, zombies are overrated, and used to much." do realize that I have YET to see a zombie RP here. Also, my idea is a branch off of ANOTHER RP I was in that died on an older forum. The RP was great! But, so nobody yells at me, I'm diverting my story away from that one, but with the same setting. How? Well it's simple. That RP followed three squads; Alpha, Bravo, and Delta. And of course, this RP actually turned into TWO RPs because it was just that amazing.

 

With that being said, I'll give you a quick summary of what it was about so you have some clue how mine will be like.

 

[spoiler=Operation Retina]The players were divided into THREE squads; Alpha, Bravo, and Delta. I was in Delta. The world was pretty much covered in zombies. There were communities and stuff, but still a lot of zombies.

 

Anyway, the zombie outbreak was caused by a group (can't remember their name, so I'm going to call them A-Holes, because, well, you will see why) of bad people. Well, we (the players) were ALL trained military men in a special group. Our job was simple. Go to A-Hole's well fortified, fortress like building out in the middle of nowhere (literally), break in, find the cure (or something), and get the hell out.

 

Sounds simple, right? If only it were.

 

All three squads flew in a helicopter. Alpha and Bravo landed on the roof. Delta went through the front door (yeah, my squad was BA, lol). A member of Delta squad quickly pointed his gun (a desert eagle I believe) at the receptionist and told her to keep shut. We then proceeded down the hall while the other two squads came through the roof. Everything was easy, until the alarm went off (of course) and we had to fight some trained dudes with guns. Eh, still not hard. Then we got to our objective, and there was nothing there. We were a bit angry (mostly one guy because we threw him through the door to tests for traps, and there was literally nothing in there). So, while we were sitting there creating our next plan (Graffiti, beat the receptionist, blow the place to hell, things of that nature), our helicopter pilots contacted us. What they said pretty much went like this, "GET THE BLOODY HELL OUT OF THERE!" We ran outside, got in our helicopters, and was like, why couldn't we stay and destroy that place?!?!?! Then a nuke went off. Yep, A-Hole's dropped a nuke in the distance. Now you know why I gave them that name. >.>

 

Anyway, we avoided the killing part of the blasts, but we were still knocked out of the air. Each squad somewhere else. Then the rest of the first RPG finished with us wondering around, killing zombies, and eventually meeting back up and kicking some A-Hole butts!

 

The second RPG (same people) was with all of us together in our own little fortified base. It had been a few years since the nuke thingy. Well, our base was CRAP! And, of course, nearby bases weren't responding. So HQ (head people of the military group) told us to ditch our crappy base and check out the awesome bases and see what was up. So we took the tunnel thinking it would be faster. What happened? Ambushed by super trained A-Hole soldiers...on a train...going 70MPH. <_< Imagine, if you will, 15 people in the last two cars fighting off another 15 people in the other four cars. Bullets, swords, and flash grenades were going EVERYWHERE! But, we were SLOWLY taking them all out, when an idiot decided to be an idiot. He threw a frag grenade. -_- Result? Train blew to pieces, A-Hole soldiers died, and we were forced to walk the rest of the way (we almost shot his kneecaps and made him crawl).

 

From there we came to one of the awesome bases, found it dead, and A-Hole's started attacking (with like tanks and crap, and we had like, pistols and crap). So we used our strategic minds to make a brilliant plan! Shoot half out bullets at them, then run like hell, lol. Eventually we made it to Area-51. It was a survivor group. Only they weren't letting anyone else in. They had snipers killing anyone that tried to enter, we needed in there, and (the GM said so) the guards were complete jerks. So our task was this. Circle around the survivors trying to get in, walk through the minefield, don't get shot by the snipers, and take over the base. Unfortunately, that's where the GM became inactive. So...that's all I got, lol.

 

 

Anyway, I wanna run a RP like that, only following a different story-line. What do you guys think? And if you want, I can post some quick highlights from the two RPs (we had some amazing players, lol).

Oh, almost forgot! RP idea!

 

My idea is an Original Mecha War RP, below is the backstory to B.Wave...

 

[spoiler=B.Wave - Timeline]Timeline

2012 – Yellowstone erupts, sending North America into a continental Volcanic Ice Age; UK assists the relocation of a sum of North America’s human inhabitants to Asia. Italy becomes the Roman States and forms an alliance with the Chinese Empire and Japan.

 

2020 – Canada occupies what’s left of North America and renames the continent Vulcan, starting the Vulcan Re-claim War between Canada and the United Kingdom, who fought on the American’s behalf. Light Tactical Armor (LT Armor) and Experimental Mecha Suits (EM Suits) began to be used by Britain.

 

2023 – The Vulcan Re-claim War ends with British forces occupying Vulcan’s Capital, Britain and America become the Empire of Britannia. Russia becomes the White Union.

 

2030 – China attempts to expand their borders into White Union territory, resulting in conflict. Japan attacks the White Union, causing the Empire of Britannia to assist the White Union against the attackers; setting off a chain of events leading to the start of WWIII, the world was split into two factions, the Global United Nation (GUN) and the Nation of Regulated Militants (NORM). German Scientist Krieg Aldenhorf invents B.Wave Technology before being murdered during an assault on Germany by NORM. Germany sides with GUN and both sides begin to use B.Wave Tech.

 

2031 – Artificial Intelligence Robotic Infantry (AIRI) replace all of NORM’s human infantry and pilots, providing a potentially unlimited source of expendable infantry units.

 

2040 – Mecha designs GUN1 and NORM.L began service during the Battle of Mumbai, which ended with the tragic nuclear bombing of India, killing all of India’s population and over 1,000 GUN troops.

 

2045 – Present, North America is still locked in a Volcanic Ice Age, and 4/5ths of the Amazon Rainforest has been cleared. India is a nuclear wasteland along with Greenland and Madagascar. GUN is beginning to meet a stalemate with NORM, and needs to find a way to tip the war into their favor.

 

 

Players will be potraying a Mecha Pilot of one of three Squadrons:

The Fallout Squadron, Beta

The Infantry Support Squadron, Delta

The Heavy Artillery Squadron, Iota

 

The RP will also have elements of Drama and Tragedy, So what I'm asking you is...

 

...What do you think?

@Scarlet Emissary: That's gonna need A LOT of effort and clever storytelling. It's a cool idea, but that's gonna be hard as anything to run. Good luck.

 

Pondering an AU Pokémon RP with this plot:

[spoiler=AD ASTRA: Prepare for Trouble]

A long time ago, in a continuity far, far away...

The Pokémon world is in grave peril. Kyurem has left a dire warning in all five regions: the Legendaries shall soon awaken and begin a terrible war that Kyurem will be powerless to stop. Kyurem is a capricious legend on the best of days -- but this warning is deadly serious.

Thankfully, one trainer has a plan.

Cynthia Almagest, Sinnoh champion, has created Team Astra. Their objective: to steal the legendary artifacts of every Legendary in Sinnoh and bring them to the Temple of Arceus Cynthia has unearthed. When they awaken, she reasons, the Pokémon God will become aware of the battle and join forces with Kyurem to put a stop to it. She has brought together some powerful allies: Sabrina, Claire, Winona, Shauntal, and Caitlin have all become her Astra Admins. But with most of the known world out to stop her from seizing the artifacts, she'll need some very good grunts indeed...

You are a trainer who is about to receive their starter Pokémon. On the day before you set out, Kyurem appears to you in a dream, warning you of the approaching war -- and the need to gather the legendary artifacts at the Temple of Arceus...

 

[spoiler=Gameplay basics (the "planning" part)]

>I will maintain a Pokémon's stats/level/EXP in the OOC thread.... for the sole purpose of making sure the RPers realize that we're using game stats and they should fight accordingly. Battle will be mostly intuitive; it's better not to weigh down the RPers with too much math, methinks.

>The starter you receive is based on the results of a Myers-Briggs based personality test, in a similar manner to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (but much harder to cheat in). The region one starts in is based on the region from which the starter you receive hails. There are sixteen possible Myers-Briggs assessments; ergo, one can have any of the usual fifteen starters or the beloved Pikachu.

>No one will ever control a legendary or semilegendary Pokémon. Period.

>A trainer will only start with their starter Pokémon and will have to catch others. It should take a while to accumulate six Pokémon. Since Astra is a criminal organisation and PCs are hackable, players won't have access to a PC system, so they'll have to stick with six Pokémon max.

>Enemy Gym Leaders and Elite Four will lead a VAST army of Anti Villains as the team races to collect legendary artifacts. A great deal of the RP will probably be based on the sense of being on the run and bonding with your fellow Astrorum.

Sound intriguing? Ideas for specifics/refinement/more playability/better gameplay/cool beans to throw in?

This is somethin' that hit me in a Cross-Dimension Yu-Gi-Oh RP

 

Cross-Dimension War RP

-Each RPer creates a character from a certain dimension, this dimension can be from Anime/Manga/Video Games or they can create the dimension (must describe this dimension and the species your character it)

-Characters can travel dimensions (how to yet to be explained)

-More to be explained while idea is thought over

-Looking for at least 5 people to like this idea to start it

These were already boring last year. >_> You'll really need something special and/or deconstructive to attract anyone. Or have a really nice premise, like SSB Armageddon did back in the day. As it is, with that grammar, I wouldn't even give it a second glance.

Ok, my idea has been started! It's called "Operation: Survival"

 

@ Scarlett's idea: Joined his, and it seems like he has it set up quite nice. Everyone should give it a look.

 

@ Pokemon idea: I see a lot of Pokemon RPs right now.

 

@ Dimension War idea: Same response as above.

 

@ Anyone who wants to start a RP but doesn't have a good idea: If you have read the "Bartimaeus Trilogy", and/or the prequel "The Ring of Solomon", then please message me. I have a brilliant idea pertaining to that for a RP. However, I'm already hosting a RP, so I won't start my new idea until my first RP finishes, I get more time, or someone co-hosts with me. Just throwing that out there. ;D
