well, if you were going to be in a rp, would you WANT to have magic?

Tamari · Post by **Tamari** » Fri May 05, 2006 6:25 am

Well, perhaps it would be more fun if there wasn't -too- much magic.

Ebility Deranged · Post by **Ebility Deranged** » Fri May 05, 2006 6:26 am

Well, personally I'd like to try it without magic, see what we can do.

Tamari · Post by **Tamari** » Fri May 05, 2006 6:29 am

Okay, fine by me. But what kind of plot would we have? I'm not very partial to weapons of mass destruction and big war stories, so something more small scale?

BoneSatellite · Post by **BoneSatellite** » Fri May 05, 2006 11:31 am

No magic (yet) is good. As for plot, we should probably have a setting first. If it's going to take place here and now (2006, anywhere from Oregon to Australia), then we should probably group all our characters in one place (unless anybody wants to be a long-distance character and arrive later) and have a common setting where everything takes place (like a school or museum). Unless it's in a very small town, then we wouldn't need a center stage.

Still, the idea of a contemporary RP doesn't really appeal to me. It's boring and there's less flexibility. If we had a more abstract setting, it would be easier and more interesting because everything is unfamiliar. We'd be able to spontaneously fabricate our more easily.

I suck horibly at modern time rps

That clinches it, then?

One lil thing I wanna mention: I've become a devout fan of the movie Steamboy, so if we could, in any way at all, work in a flying machine like that one into this RP, I would be greatly exhilerated.

Neo's knowledge of plot is about as deep as a puddle on the sidewalk.

Kelll · Post by **Kelll** » Fri May 05, 2006 2:37 pm

well, i was thinking of something like the plot I had for mah comic, like, its midevil kinda like times / modern, theres a demon lord, who i named neo (XD) and hes trying to take over teh world eh, but then you got yer good guys, anyway, teh plot it, like, theres no cars, but theres flying machines, not like planes or anything, and guns, but only cops n stuff have em because there hard to make, ships are made of wood, and there are radios and such, theres all kinds of races and yeah...but thats me...

Tamari · Post by **Tamari** » Fri May 05, 2006 10:56 pm

Kelll: That doesn't sound bad ^^ we'd even have flying ships for BoneSatellite (although I don't know Steamboy, so have no idea what the ship in that movie looked like)

Although the evil overlord trying to take over the world... *grins* oh well, as long as we're going to have fun it doesn't need to be original, right?

Fwoooosh!

Kelll · Post by **Kelll** » Sat May 06, 2006 8:14 am

dont worry neo, you turn good in the end, and become the weapon master, and your son prolly gets killed, cause im not making anymore main charecters, woot killing off teh eople!!, if i ever start teh comic again, im doing littly kitty fillers fer inu now...aaany way, WOOT MY PLOT IS LIKED!!!!!!!!! FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE SOMONE LIKES MY IDEAS!!!! WAT NOW IZKAKU!!! *goes to print this page out and stuff it in friends face*

BoneSatellite · Post by **BoneSatellite** » Sat May 06, 2006 11:43 am

I'd like it much, much better if the flying machine was more of a revolutionary piece of technology (about 10-20 years ahead of its time, only a few of them in the entire world) rather than mass-produced. It'd be more exciting, since there could be mercenaries trying to smuggle the flying machine into the hands of the gad guys (not Neo, he'd be a good guy ... I guess). Some of us would pick up rumors about the flying machine being hidden somewhere in our locality, and we'd eventually figure out where it is, go after it, and escape with it during a shootout or somethin'.

Maybe that's too specific an' picky, though. But as long as I get to fly it and perform heroic endeavors with it, I'll be very happy.

Kelll · Post by **Kelll** » Sat May 06, 2006 12:16 pm

well, we dont even know if were using my plot, and well, you can do what ever you want w/ the areial stuff bone, if you want to tweak it to how you'd like it, go ahead ^^

Kelll · Post by **Kelll** » Sat May 06, 2006 12:16 pm

if we do do my plot, ill go more into detail about what i did w/ it, i just gave you a small summery

Tamari · Post by **Tamari** » Sat May 06, 2006 12:31 pm

(response to the link of bonesatellite: Ah, same makers as Akira ^^ cool! It's an anime? I'll ask my sister to see if she can find it somewhere. She's very good at that sort of thing

)

*grins* What's so weird about your ideas being liked? It's fun! Or is fun weird?...

Anyway, we could use bits of your plot and improvise. It would be a shame to use all of it, because you want to use it for your own comic, right? ^^

Kelll · Post by **Kelll** » Sat May 06, 2006 1:19 pm

its in my comic, well, not anymore cause i kinda quited it, ran outa matirias and then i used one person in the comic and she got ticked that her charecter wasnt in it to much, and then inuchiks over here syaing
"Did you do another page, ho bout now, dun yet?, huhuhuuh? *Gets gun* SHUDDAP!!!! so, im settling w/ little comics w/ no meaning...Its about a cat, a bird and the owner..but anyway, on topic

i dont care about what you use, just saying ^^'

Rychon · Post by **Rychon** » Sat May 06, 2006 5:48 pm

Lots of ideas.... Dunno if I like them.

I don't like the idea of modern setting party 'cause Kel's not willing try but also because all of us (no small number) would ALL have to have some reason for their character to not be busy working or in class or whatever. Well, ok, I can think up ways around that but those sounded boring in my head so I won't bother.

I don't know if I care for a medieval setting either though. That's always been fairly dry for me.

I vote for something abstract. Like...some kind of dream world thing. Nah, been done. Hm. This is hard.

Whatever happened to the RP Moss was going to run?

Snowy · Post by **Snowy** » Sat May 06, 2006 6:41 pm

to answer voyd's question at the top of the page...i don't know!!! you know how indecisive i am...and i don't really care anyway...^^'

i don't really like the idea of a modern day setting for the rp...and i have no idea about medieval stuff...ehe...so i'm undecided on that...and i have no input in this cos...yeah...being an indecisive person and all...i'm just a follower ^^

BoneSatellite · Post by **BoneSatellite** » Sat May 06, 2006 9:22 pm

Well, to take care of the time frame, let's do this: the setting is just a green, sprawling country-place like Ireland, and the buildings are cottages, mansions, and castles (all of which existed both in medieval times and modern). As for keeping ourselves out of work or school (if Rychon meant ficticiously, rather then to give ourselves more time on the RP), we could just have trades (blacksmith, merchant, shopkeeper, high-society person who doesn't need to work) or be traveling somewhere when we get involved in the action.
