We improvise a plot. Starting from the steam-flyer that's being smuggled.
And, um ... *points to the RP* Don't you guys think it's been dormant for just a bit too long?

Kelll: Oh... I feel very small and insignificant now... *grins sheepishly*
And you're right... The current RP isn't going so fast... Don't let it die!
New RP: I think it would be good to think of some plot before we begin. But that will be easier I think once we start thinking about characters ^^ So far the background world is taking shape nicely!
But someone mentioned it before... Wasn't Moss planning something new as well?

Well, we haven't chosen one.
Something I'd like to point out to Bone: we're not going to do something simply because you like it. If we decide on something, it's because the participating forumites in general like it. I'm not going to get all pissy about it but it does irk me quite a bit when you start assuming we're going along with something. Right now we're brainstorming ideas, or attempting to, rather. Deciding will come later.
In this particular case I'm rather indifferent to having an airship. However, since I haven't seen whatever movie you're talking about and have absolutely no intention of going to watch it simply so I know what you're talking about. I'm already completely confused by your continual references to a show I've never heard of, so I'd really like for us all to go with something original, or so general that knowledge of something outside of the RP isn't necessary. Airship is ok. Don't get more specific.
Please

Okay, Rychon, all ya had to say was we weren't in agreement yet.
So according to Tamari, we can't have plot without characters, and according to Kelll, at least one of us can't have a character without a plot. And since it seems I've done enough brainstorming, you fellas go ahead; toss in some plot ideas.

Was feeling whiny. That, and I feel that if I explain what irks me I stand a better chance of not being irked. Or something like that.
I like Voyd's (Or whoever's) thoughts on leveling the creative playing field by having a world that none of the characters are familiar with. So, we could have it be that the Land (Since we aren't going for modern we don't need a big picture) is poisoned in some way, and the topography has kind of gone haywire. So like, spatial norms have a seizure.
Ok, I'm going to stop there because I've lost all ability to make sense today.

I'm in agreeance with Rychon's comment a tad further up.
a question to try and make this a little less.... well, completely complicated.
what sort of rp are we going for here? adventure (i assued there would be some of that too, but completely adventure or only slightly?) romance (personally not really my forte, but if thats what the general populous wants... *shrug*) action (again, as Tamari said, writing good action scenes is pretty hard when no one's on at the same time) etc etc etc.
hopefully that'll settle a little? or just fling up more dust. one or the other.

If I told you I was innocent, would you believe me?

There could be a romance between two people, but the rest would still have to have a different storyline to occupy their time with ^^
I like the idea of a strange environment for all characters. Although the image that keeps popping in my mind is one of a group of sort of modern day people finding themselves in a world that's suddenly listening to different laws. Perhaps whatever happens would give everyone something special. Either magical powers, or very good fighting skills, or a lot of knowledge and stories, or something like that?

heheheh, in response to voyd's last comment here "been there, done that" =p
tamari: your idea kind of reminds me of firefly
and i agree with the idea of having it set in a place that doesn't require outside knowledge and whatnot...and it probably is a good idea (going back to voyd's comment) to think of a genre/s before we brainstorm any further, cos at least then, we'd have some basis...right now, if you don't mind me saying, it's all a mess...
i'm still undecided on whether i'll join the rp or not...^^'

Adventure would probably be the easiest to improvise with. It wouldn't be as crowded as an action story, and it'd be easier go off on tangents during action scenes if somebody can't post. My vote's for the adventure genre.
Well, in my defense, I felt awkward about posting it.
