Hello. I've been currently working on one rp Called the runaways, or the prison breakout RP. And I just recently got the idea for a new RP idea. Though I was hoping with some help that after I am done on my work with the Runaways, that I could start to get into this rp. (Yes before you say anything I am not going to make a second RP while im already hosting one.)

Again like The Prison Breakout idea it is an old RP idea that died before it even got off the ground and I am hoping to recycle it and make it better so this time it doesn't die as easy. The last Rp that ive seen done on Pirates of the Abecean sea had no story what so ever and got boring even after the first post was posted in. (And i'm sure there have been many pirate Rp's throughout so tell if this is overused.)

This time I was hoping to add in an adventure story. Somewhat like treasure island except with alot more story and more people:

The story would take place sometime during the invention of pistols. And us the Pirates would be a couple of wannabe pirates who have just gotten our start in the world of piracy. I will play a character who has a relative who has died most recently. In his will he asked for my character to receive a mysterious unopened package. Inside the package will be a series of strange treasure maps that leads us to an unexplored part of Abecean sea, thus the adventure begins. My character will set out to find this treasure and will begin to build his own pirate crew (That's where the Rpers come in.) Together he and his crew have decided to go out and search for the treasure. Meanwhile this is going on an evil group of pirates (Antagonist) will be catching word of our find and will set out to catch us and take the map for themselves.

Eventually in the story we will arrive at the unexplored island and our boat will be destroyed by a rough storm upon arrival. Waking up stranded on the island we will have to venture through a harsh and unforgivable jungle in order to find the treasure were looking for. Meanwhile the antagonist pirates will also arrive on the island will be trying to hunt us down so they can take the treasure themselves.

And you pretty much get the idea from there. Yes I know this is vague but this is just the skeleton of my RP's story.


Now for the Rp itself, I was planning on making ranks for everyone on my boat. You know Captain, cook, cannon shooter. Along with opening the RP up for people to play the bad guys in the RP, you know the guys who are trying to keep us from getting the treasure.

I know this isn't the stereotypical, pirates going around killing Navy men and smuggling skooma through the waters. But I'm hoping to actually have a story for the RP this time around instead having the just a bunch of guys running around the ship like maniacs.

so what you think?

I enjoy alternate-world things like gunpowder in TES, it adds some spice to what is the meager meal of Swords and Axes.

It seems interesting, and if there was a well cultivated and alluring story element I think you could get people. Might I suggest you set it up so while we all work together up towards the climix, we all have different reasons/have different sides on what to do once we've: gotten the treasure, saved the governors daughter, etc., we split and fight?

I'm not sure what your asking me?

Sorry, wrote that hurriedly last night as I went to do something else.

Suppose once we get to the treasure, we have two options. Making up stupid ones those would be giving it to charity and hording it ourselves.

Now, both people who wanted to give it to charity and the people who wanted to hoard it themselves would have been working together the whole time, and then the conflict would arise once they actually got the treasure.

But the more I think about this, the stupider it sounds. It probably wouldn't work, so never mind.

As long as mages are allowed to exist in this alternate reality, I'm cool with it.

I was planning on making sequles and make somewhat like pirates of the carribean (Like pirates of the Abecean sea.) Of course these would be seperate RPs and would add comepletely new conflicts. But it would still have the same main character that I'm going to control in the first one.

Edit: Previous RPers would be able to re-sign up for the RP. And if they didn't feel like doing another go. These RPs would take place years apart from one another so it wouldn't come to a suprise if someone decided to leave the crew.

I have never been in an RP before (complete noob) - but this one sounds really interesting. I don't like the idea of them fighting over giving it to charity or dividing it up, it is the OP's inheritance so we would only be given pay for being his crew...unless we got greedy and wanted more than our share...BWAHA! - I doubt anyone would be interested in a noob RP'r, this is the first I've ever wanted to join - it has enormous possibilities for storyline.

Dark Fox, this shouldn't even be up yet. You have a RP to run, and this inserts doubt and failure.

A famous quote from the Verlox,

"Don't start on the next meal until you are finished eating the one you are currently on."

again I never said my old RP was done yet. I'm just trying to gain interest for this one.

it may be awhile before The runaways is over. (although i can tell people are losing interest fast in the runaways) But yeah once im done with my work on the runaways I will immediatley begin this RP. It will be apart of a 3 part series. Each one having the same setting but having a different story.
