So I'd have an itch these last few days about participating and even running a good RP. I haven't had any ideas, and the good ideas that I did have were [censored] up by a few people who decided to take matters in their own hands. So I'm going to ask EXPERIENCED RP'ers to cooperate with me in order to make a really good RP.

Send me a PM if you're interested in becoming a founder of the RP. If you have a few suggestions, post them up, but for the love of god I don't want anything to do with things that have been done to death lately, such as Mercenaries and whatnot.

So, there ya go, I'm wanting and willing to build a new and exciting RP, fresh and full of experienced Rp'ers as well as the competent new RP'ers.

My first idea is that there is an alien invasion that invades the whole of the Northeast, this invasion will cause many folks to band together, such as: Outcasts join BoS, Raiders join with the Family, Enclave just becomes better and doesn't attack the BOS (to an extent).

Anywho, throw in your ideas for a new RP, as that was just my idea.

Well, having played with you in several RPs, followed by most of them dying off...

I took a break, tried to set up an RP, got sick, and took another break. However, I still have been wanting to play some RPs here. Call me crazy. So, seeing as this is one of the only topics that is about a new RP, I guess I will pitch in.

One thing I took note from another member was making a statement on how more of the longer running RPs survive mostly because there are a small number of people participating. Somewhere from 3-6 is a number good to keep a maintaining RP.

From there, I still probably could look into bringing back the tribal idea, as it's something that could evolve and branch off.

On the plus side, I know the community here is awesome, and much more mature than the other forums I have been too....

Can't wait to RP again, 101!

Right on brother! :rock:

3-6 members will be the limit. I will be accepting only SOME new members who I DEEM FIT

Now then, I Silly Cat, I appoint you as one of my 'developers' so to speak. I need you to help me come up with some ideas for the RP. If this thing is going to be done, it WILL be done correctly.

I'm still liking the Alien idea however, but that sounds like a short lived plan.

Well I haven't been on in a while, but have an idea. I haven't read in topics since last year, so if this copies someones idea, I apologize.


My idea begins shortly after the war and then end to humanity. After the fighting ceases and the dust settles, people begin emerging from their shelters and vaults. There in a world that is in ruins, theres nobody to help them and no order. People are killing and looting without restriction and people have no haven from these marauders.

So several individuals noticing this decide to help people by being one of the first to start and actually town for people to eat, rest and seek shelter from the harsh wastes. We would begin with just the original people, deciding on a location and beginning to salvage metal and the like form the surround area.

Then once we got settled in a area were there is a food supply and water, we start dealing with other problems. Water purification, local gangs, and crime within the city. The RP master would post the population and status of individuals as well with new stores, bars, or clinics that opened up in the town. To make interesting and realistic this should be done after a time shift.

Like after we established the town, he/she post 3 months later and then the status of the town.

So basically a group of several people building a city.

Thats my idea, whatcha think?

Hey I think I would be interested in that Alien RP were the enemies become friends (to an extent). I have not RPed in a long time and I do not know if you consider me "experienced" but if you do I would like to be apart of it, it could be fun and seeing as how I have not even participated in an RP since January it will be nice, I will finally have something to do .

So if you think I am experienced enough Jonas I would gladly like to be apart of this and help make up some ideas.

Oh and to Yttrium, I really like your idea that would be quite fun!

This, a long term, structured RP experience with multiple layers. Before the set factions, before the super mutants. It gives us a lot of breathing room the cut away from canon. I would be in if you were to make this.

i could help. I'm really good at coming up with ideas its one of my natural talents. Hell you can even have my idea for a horror story about a group of vault dwellers who are attacked by zombies in some horrible vault experiment gone wrong.

Thank you Sannes, If Jonas doesn't like the idea, I'd would certainly make it, after a little more thought

It's simple and straightforward. Then again, it's basic enough where it could evolve, and become grand. One thing I noticed is how trying to make a very strict or linear RP tends to die off quickly, as there isn't anywhere for the player to write things interesting, or plot developing. So something that's more open ended, such as your idea, can lead to a more interesting and engaging RP. Now, that could be a requirement for a new RP idea.

-A more freely RP.

However, it can't be too open, or else it's just like cramming a bunch of merging fanfics that all happen to be different. This kind of happened in several RPs where people would split into different groups. And since the only goal for these groups was to kill each other, it didn't end well. (As a heads up, i'm not trying to think of any names.)

The RP would have to make sure all players are active in the same group, mainly focusing on one main goal. Of course, each character has a different reason, or possibly a smaller goal within that, but as long as all of the characters aren't trying to kill each other, it will remain strong.

As for the Alien Invasion idea, I would have to say it sounds silly, but then again, it's fallout. Trying to be too serious in Fallout leads to things breaking down. Hell, I always wanted to do an RP based on the original Enclave mission; to start humanity all over again on a new planet.

But, it's good we are discussing what to do. It will help piece everything together, and make something that can last. Or at least be enjoyable for everyone. :tops:

I've been in quite a few rps and so I can say that this seems interisting. I always wanted more prewar or vault rps that don't fully have to do with the wasteland so it seems more like a slower not that much action story. It would be nice to have something like surviving in a vault with certain experiments. Maybe even having us be people trying to survive right after the the nukes went off, with all the trying to make it to a vault or something.

Thanks Silly, most of the Rps I try to do are open and not very linear, all of them encountered various problems. For this Rp to try and help control it, to give people direction I was going to have everybody get together, like at the begining when were all grouped looking at the land that would be a city. There we would have the characters bounce suggestions off each other, someone could suggest that we need scrap metal, somebody offers to gather scrap metal, maybe somebody goes with him. Somebody else says that weapons should be gathered, someone volunteers for that and so on...

Once you finished said task, you call for a meeting, once everyone calls for the meeting, the town status can be updated. And then we start with the characters bouncing ideas off each other again. This could give people direction, yet still let them have a large area to roam free. And people could make up problems, to keep it interesting. Thats what I was thinking.

Ah, and the first post in the RP should be the bulletin board. You use that post to show the status of the town, and to give updates. Almost give it a social game aspect, by consistently updating the bulletin board every day. Pretty nifty, eh? :hubbahubba:

Like I said though, good thing we are discussing all of this now. Probably will want to wait for Jonas to respond. But as of right now, it seems like an open ended RP with a bunch of things going on, but it is all controlled, no one is trying to break out, or do something stupid.

Love the bulletin board idea.

[Edit]: You already said that, sorry.

Yttrium, your idea sounds purely KICK ASS! If you do make this RP or this RP becomes your RP idea that would be awesome!

Love the enthusiasm Josh, hope more people like it as much as you. If Jonas doesn't want to, I most certainly would make it. But we can discuss all that tomorrow, you all will be up much before me.

I hope on whatever you guys are making stay true to the lore.

The last thing I want in an rp is to have a character sheet that states



weapon: m16, desert eagle, rpg.



Even when it's rp it's still not modernwarefare 2

That's not my problem, that the Rpers problem.

Alright, amazing idea! I think we should use this as the RP. And by the way Josh, this RP will be a comity operation, not one person. Yttrium, me, and whoever I deem worthy ( ), will be the leaders and writers of the RP itself as well as happenings within the RP.

And of course GunnerTad, weapons as well as armor/clothing will be limited to things that the ordinary citizens in the Vault would have. We would all obviously start in vault suits, and maybe we had a weapons locker and some Kevlar guard-armor. All-in-all that's it though.

So let us convene some more.

Oh ok, lol.

So do you think I could be apart of this!?

Indeed, this RP in itself would in a sense almost be game. Having to gather materials, find a suitable location....

I just get chills when I think about the possibilities.

Perhaps, and this is just a sketchy idea, if we had maps. I've seen them being used in some of the Werewolf games every now and then, and you could use it to organize everything. Of course, it wouldn't have to be complex, but we could also use it to show progress as the map is constantly updated with new buildings expanding, old ones being torn down, and reused for other purposes.

Starting from scratch, developing, and eventually developing into the metropolis of the wasteland!

Excellent idea! We'll need somebody to be cartographer, in order to keep track of the progress of our little settlement.

EDIT: @Josh -- Well... I haven't seen you RP'ing in a while, and when you WERE in RP's it wasn't pretty. I'll have to take you into consideration, but you won't be in my little enclave of developers just to give you a heads up. I think Silly Cat, Yttrium, and I will be the masterminds.

Obviously, as the town grows in size it's going to attract raiders, so attacks will be more frequent as it goes and then maybe after we get to big for the raiders to handle the BoS and Enclave start sticking their noses in our town. That way as the town grows in size, so does the opposition, you know to give it action when things get dull.

Ah, here's a quick draft of something that could be used. Just as a note, it's just an example, and does not mean this will be used in any way.

Just use the linky.

-------------------------------

So, I guess I could be the Cartographer, eh?

And, of course conflict with raiders, and trying to defend the camp/settlement/town/city/metropolis/citystate/nation would be another part of the RP.

Note: I just listed the possible steps of the settlement evolving.

Better than anything I could come up with, and it doesn't have to be that fancy, it's really like a progress report, showing how are town is coming.

Indeed. So you know, it took roughly 3 minutes to make, so it wasn't exactly a giant use of time. But as said, it would show progress, and I would love at the end of the RP, to show all the maps, and show everyone the evolution of the town.

This could turn out to be a great thing. The whole process of building up, combat, maps....

The type of RP I always wanted to partake in.... :drool:
