Never hurts to have more RPs, right?

So I'll be making another one-this thread is for everyone to give their ideas on how we should do it, what it should be about, etc. Any detail of relevance.

I'll be basically going about this the same way Jonas did, since I'm new to making RPs around here. I figure this is the best way to ensure the RP is of quality, and has good ideas otherwise.

My own ideas:

I was thinking of making a RP about a vault. I have a list of ideas, but vaguely, here's what I had in mind:
It would be at the start of the Great War, everyone having either just arrived or already getting themselves comfortable in their new home. The main twists will come from the secret experiments(whatever they might be) going on, possibly other things being kept hush hush. If we did this, it's possible the use of time skips might occur(even generational after a long while, if people like the idea). Another strong possibility(at least in my list of vault ideas) was that it would involve genetic engineering.
Specific vault ideas in my head already would be:
Genetic enhancing of unwitting experiments(through direct editing of DNA and also possibly indirect(indirect involving 'breeding' if that happened)), intending for them to protect the decedents of the government/military population who has gone elsewhere to protect themselves from the results of the Great War when they go out into the world to conquer and repopulate.
Social experiment in which people are given technology which makes them act like gods from myths(Polytheist myths, since there would be more than one person in a 'god' position), some might grow up like this and be deluded into thinking they're truly divine. Everyone else, naturally, will be basically normal.
Social experiment that's a mix of the above, in a way-the ones that are(technically), genetically better act like a 'slave' or 'peasant'/common class. The other class would be treated well, spoiled even.(The idea was that some of the politically powerful/influential that were 1st class members of society might have not gotten the chance to go where the other government/military 'elite' were going, and got stuck in a vault. Where they were unexpectedly and unwittingly part of this social experiment.(Note these would be people who aren't considered ABSOLUTELY vital/important out of the group that planned to conquer and repopulate the world after the Great War. But they expected to get the same perks. If this happened, these people believe they were stuck in the vault because they simply couldn't make it to the other place in time, and so the vault was a rough, back-up plan.)

My ideas are just to get everyone thoughts going. They won't necessarily be used, unless a large number of people like it more than other ideas.

Another idea was for a TYPE of RP. Which is, once it ends(or dies) for one generation, a new thread is made for the NEXT generation of the same story. There would have to be new twists, and likely characters of the previous RP would be used to make the storyline more complicated/make characters. (This is a rough idea, again, to get everyone thoughts going.)

Likely we'll do the same thing as the last RP doing this did when it comes to the number of members. But I want to hear what everyone else thinks on all of this first before I do anything.

The last idea sounds like it would take a lot of dedication on the part of the RPers but if done right it could be interesting. I think this new format of RP making could have great potential, It'll be interesting to see the results.

Anyway, generally I think vault RPs are difficult to do properly as there has been many in the past but I've got another idea too. I got the inspiration from a good RP that never took off and it involved a group of BOS Knights, Paladins, and Scribes somehow getting teleported to the past a few days right before the Great War and it was up to them to see if they could possibly stop the war before time runs out.

Very possibly, as there's a lot of types of characters that could be played. xd And otherwise it would be a lot of figuring out for the characters, probably.

Ah, really? I haven't seen one yet, so I didn't know about that. x) I just have a tendency to have ideas for that sort of thing.

And yeah-I don't remember what exactly inspired me for a RP that makes a new generation every time it restarts, but I liked the idea so I decided to share it and see what others thought of it. x)

The other idea doesn't sound bad, actually. Could be a lot of fun to be in that sort of setting. But I'm wondering how exactly one would go about that(stopping the war and such/making the storyline for that kind of RP). I'd definitely need help in planning that out, if the idea was used.

I like the ideas and such, but hold up a second. You have to remember that you might be in the RP we are having. Don't want to try to juggle between two RPs, trust me.

With the one were having, it will be fine. Most of the Rp is going to be in paragraph response form, and sense most of the time you have to wait on other people(like when calling a meeting) and since we don't have all the same time, another Rp would nice, to fill the gap and keep people from getting to bored. I had an Idea for this, something about drugs, but I can't get all down. I'll be more functional in the morning.

Most of the time these kind of ideas sound good but needs some good planning and such before it can really be made into an RP

Oh, I guess this will all work fine then.

And yeah, I was hoping this could help RP ideas flow a bit more/get more RPs up in the forum. Even if not my own.

Drugs, eh? x) Has potential, no doubt. But I guess I'll have to wait for more details on that idea.

And yeah-agreed on the need for planning. I'm thinking we'll see which idea everyone likes the most, and then move on to working on that idea.

I thought it was a great idea, this forum needs more life. And brand new Rpers eager to make Rps would be a great way to do it. I had a nice speech prpared, but the laptop is dying...

Yea, do the knights of write do their honorable deed of restoring the forum for the townsmen! Do the writers and Role-Players rejoice!

Ha, nice. x)

I'm not sure how we'll determine what idea we'll be doing. I suppose I could always allow everyone to suggest their ideas, and then make a poll for everyone to vote? xd

I'd put all the ideas possible for vote in the first post, as well. So everyone doesn't have to shift through the thread for details about any one possible idea. In the case we make use of the poll.

But yeah, it'll be great to see some more RPs around here.

Funny story, i'm watching Breaking Bad....

Awesome show. Maybe have an RP about a group of wastelanders who make Jet and sell it.

Better yet, a new drug! I still would go ape [censored] over a Fallout/AVP crossover...*Wink Wink*

xD Nice.

But sure, whatever makes an interesting RP. x) As odd as it might sound. If we seriously did one about a group of drug dealers, or anything like that, we'd probably need to add more to it. xd Maybe drug wars.

I would enjoy being able to get into a rp. I have missed a joining quite a few due to too many people getting involved and shutting down or the rp only allows a handful of people which is the better way to do it. Regardless hopefully an interesting idea shows up soon!

What about like people who do disaster-relief sort whoziwhatza but with a kick butt adittude? OR we do one where it's casual? Not a lot of fighting but more just trying to make it day to day, like the wastelanders that you find not fighting. ??? Any thoughts ideas

Some fine ideas swirling around here. And it does seem to be a lot more quieter around this place, since I was last here. (Before I started coming back and commenting again. )

I've got a couple Idea's that could go well with an RP, but I'm not quite sure what people will think. And I'm not quite sure how the people (new to me) RP on here. So I'll have to take a look around the page, and see. I'll edit this post with my ideas once I get a good idea of how you "new people" (not just people that have posted on here, but the rest as well,) before I give into putting up another RP.

Cool, an RP. I've been waiting on another to open up. I'll be sure to join. :hehe:

Terrier hasn't been on since March 29th, might be awhile

Oh. Guess I better start looking again, I guess. :mellow:
