Convention Designing

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 1:49 am

Hey guys,

About three-or-so months ago is when the latest convention dropped on the forums.

Well, to the people who have previously participated in conventions, I would love to have you guys back and posting on this thread.

Since most of the conventions are either House or NCR endings, this one is going to be an Indy Ending, which I think is better, because none of the posters will have a supreme role. They'll all be on the same level.

Whether you've posted on conventions before, or want to start out, I would love to have you guys posting on it again. At this point, I'm just preparing the prompt. I'm not sure when I'm going to put it on the forums.

The faction list, at the moment, is as such:


Primm- Securitron 1C 3C R3 4M
Novac- Sebor13
Brotherhood of Steel- Gingy
Enclave Remnants- The Enclave
Boomers- Supervaultboy
Great Khans- Twich
Legion Remnants- Radioactive Bacon
New California Republic-
Super Mutants (Jacobstown)- Tycho the Wanderer
Super Mutants: Nightkin (Black Mountain)- The Lobotomite
Goodsprings-
The Kings- Champagne Supernova
Westside-
The Chairmen- Ouchobrain
The White Glove Society-
The Omertas- Lt. Andronicus
Followers of the Apocalypse-
The Gun Runners- R.J
The Crimson Caravan Company- Arclight808
The Van Graffs- winawer
(I'm reserving a few roles for people who were very active in previous conventions)

If you want in, make a post and pick a faction. I'm also open to suggestions on the opening post.

GUIDELINES OF MAKING A POST: Provided by, Gingy.

Your Representative's Name (You can make it up)-Your Faction

Come up with something to say. You are trying to win your faction some sympathy, and gain alliances to help fortify and advance the Mojave. Make sure your grammar is good, otherwise your point might come across as childish, or not come across at all.

If you want to say something out of character, you simply say:

OOC: Insert what you are saying out of character here.

These are links of the five other conventions I've hosted, if you want to get a general idea.

Keep in mind, people have a lot of stuff going on right before summer begins, (Exams, etc), so my posting is going to be a bit more casual than earlier conventions on this one.

(I'll be back in about 20 minutes to answer any other replies. Gotta shower :ermm: )

To the people who have never done this before, you'd be doing us all a favor by reading the previous conventions. It really helps with format, and Forum Convention debate skills, as these have been going on for a good six months.

I suppose go ahead and put him down for the Remnants. I'll go back to my roots (although I enjoyed the Chairmen in the last couple).

My posting schedule may be a bit irregular though.

Don't worry. We're all busy. It's going to be more casual than it was before.

Same as the previous conventions. (Except for Mojave)

So when exactly are we starting?

In a few days. I still need more people for more roles, and I haven't finished the prompt yet.

So wait, is it possible for factions to *declare war* on other factions and possibly effect/take over the locations they may claim?

Uh.... No.

(The Legion is not even in a fit state to raid the Mojave anyway at this point)

Ooh, If no one's doing the NCR, I'd like to represent them. Unless of course, someone more experienced like Styles is interested. If so, the Crimson Caravan maybe?

Edit: By the way, what are the circumstances of the Inde ending are we using? For example, did you activate the Securitrons under The Fort, or did you disable Hoover Dam? Is Lanius and/or Oliver dead? What factions supported New Vegas's independance, etc. Because these factors would greatly influence the interests involved. Oh, and what is underlying objective of this convention? I recall one of the others was to find a diplomatic solution on the eve of the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, so what would it be this time?

It will be revealed in the Opening Post of the real convention.

We're just rounding up people for it at the moment.

I put you down for Crimson Caravan for now.

Oh, so we gotta improv it? Not my cup of tea, but that'll be interesting.

Sign me up for the Great Khans. I have always wanted to do one of these conventions ever since I read the Nellis one. :3
