Hey, whats going on!

Aye mate, how have you been in the last few years?

[Lewis Morel]

Can't say I'm particularly interested in the Taneth thing. I'm about ready to move on from the entire KSS situation.

The vampire RP sounds fun. The cool thing about vampires is that you can find some to fit everyone's taste; you have the schemers that W&V seems fond of, the crazy swamp ones that Solidor likes, and then the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Locked_Room that I prefer.

Yeah. It does sound fun. Can we pull it off?

[Kate Murrell]

Yeah we can do that. Doesn't seem anyone is all that keen on Taneth sadly.

[Jack]

I think it would be cool if we did a post CI RP in Morrowind. I was thinking we could use it to set up the currently nonexistent post-OB lore for MW. I have some history written up for Redoran that takes in most of what happened during CI and the OB crisis. I was thinking whoever controlled each faction in CI could write up a short synopsis of what's happened and what's been going on. That was by far my favorite RP, and I think the Post-OB stage in Morrowind would be a great place to have an RP. Major tensions between the houses as the try to rebuild and fend off the Argonian invaders sounds pretty fun. I was thinking the invasion could be a few radical Argonian groups and not the full force of the province like in Beth canon. Just small guerrilla forces. We could have a lot of small skirmishes with the encroaching Argonians as well as an espionage and political aspect between the houses. Possibly even an all out house war.


I don't know, just something I've been wanting to do since I joined the IBT.

[Trevi]

Isn't an RO failing twice in the same province a hint enough at the fact that while the IBT is currently in "reboot" mode, it shouldn't be attempted a third time?

This wouldn't be a reboot of CI though.

IB and I are going over the specifics right now. I suggested a focus on Vvardenfell, post-CI, with the main thing being the exodus of the Redoran to the mainland and a conflict with the Hlaalu.

It limits the factions to two instead of 4 or 5 like in CI, and there's a steady plot line instead of "The Daedra are coming and everyone hates one another."

First off: Da fuq is that smiley I posted? I wanted the annoyed look to the left.... >.> Nice forum software...

Anywho: Well that's what I get for not reading your post entirely then isn't it? (I'd post the smiley I want but somehow I don't think the forums can handle this anymore)

[Katey Meyer]

So the main sides would be House Redoran and their "allies" (Indoril, the Temple, etc) and House Hlaalu with their allies (Imperial guilds or what not.) Telvanni, since there really is no leader, can act as a moderating force.

That's 3 factions. Plus a 4th because you know people will want to be Argonian raiders and form their own inept versions of the Vietnamese guerrilla fighters.

Hah, anyone stupid enough to try and play an Argonian after they see Aryon Llethri on the battlefield is an idiot.

Anyways, most of this will take place on Vvardenfell and the coast of the Inner Sea on the mainland, nowhere near the south border. Also, the Argonians haven't attacked yet, and probably wont for a good while. That's for an entirely different RP, which I also have a ton of ideas for.

And IB, I say we leave the Telvanni out completely. They wouldn't want to act as a mediating force anyways. They don't give a rats ass what happens to the Redoran or Hlaalu. Hell, they don't even care about themselves. Half the time they're too busy killing each other for power or hiding in their towers doing experiments.

This is what I have in mind. Post-CI the Redoran, Indoril, and anyone affiliated with the Temple, declare their independence from the Empire. Everyone has been hit hard by the OB crisis and very few of the Imperial legion remain. Hlaalu, in an attempt to gain much needed Imperial support to get them back on their feet (Major southern cities in Vvardenfell will have been destroyed and a lot of farmland burned leaving them between a rock and hard place) offer to aid the Empire in regaining control of the lands that seceded. The remaining Redoran leadership (Aryon Llethri, and Tidus's character, forgot his name) decide to lead a mass exodus of the house's remnants to the mainland after the destruction of Ald-Ruhn and the deaths of the entire Council. When the Hlaalu and Legion send orders to surrender many of the Redoran nobles that are still alive push the House to go to war and wipe out the outlanders and the traitorous Hlaalu. This puts a lot of political tension on the Redoran. The Hlaalu and Empire begin attacking the caravans of the Redoran as they head northwest to Khuul where a small fleet of transports from Blacklight are going to begin ferrying the survivors to the mainland. This prompts the Redoran into retaliating.

That's what I've come up with off of the top of my head. Things can be changed if need be, this is a very very rough idea and very flawed, but it's better to have something to work with than a blank slate.

[Emily Rose]

I am confused. What exactly is the Rp going to be about now? I think we should all make a vote.

[stacy hamilton]

We're just proposing ideas for the next RP. We don't know what it's going to be yet.

Well I didn't mean mediator in the actual story line sense, but the RP management sense. And although we can go either way with the RP we should consider if we want this to be more military based, political in nature, adventure/individualistic or what not.

[T. tacks Rims]

I think we should focus it 50/50 on military and political. Guerrilla warfare and small skirmishes between platoons, etc., and differing points of view within the houses that causes major tension that would fracture the infrastructure if not kept in check.

You know what though, I'm all for doing a Cyrodiil RP that's almost entirely political and cloak and dagger stuff involving corrupt politicians and crime syndicates. I'm really in an espionage mood at the moment. Or even the vampire RP would be cool. I had a cool idea for a Van Helsing kind of character.

I'm fine with whatever you guys decide anyways. I do like the look of Cyrodiil right now though, for either the Vampire RP or the Political one. If we're going to pull off a post-CI RP I want to do the thing justice and do it on a full scale with the entire province and every house, which at the moment isn't possible. I feel like cutting down the size and limiting the factions isn't what an RP like that deserves.

[Emerald Dreams]

I think it would be good to go to something fresh and new whether it is Cyrodil or Morrowind, but we ought to try to put it together somewhat fast: not that we should rush it, but do it for time's sake before the interest dies out.

I don't think it would be necessary to have the Telvanni in the story line at all, really. As for Cyrodil, I am in the sly sabotage mood as well.

[ZzZz]

Crime syndicates would be nice. I'm all for it.

[Bryanna Vacchiano]

I'm more than willing to participate in the next RP, I've had a lot of free time lately and it looks like that will be the case for the next couple of months. I'm very interested in a Morrowind setting, it seems forever since i've done anything involved with it. If I were to start writing again i'd want it to be here! I really am not particular on one thing or the other it would really be up to you guys.

[Bryanna Vacchiano]

I just don't want the feeling of the story to be all this super urgent stuff. I think sticking with Vvardenfell sort of helps us out too since we know what it looks like somewhat. Having the setting be "Redoran leaving" doesn't make for much conflict. I propose instead that there are elements in Redoran suggesting they leave, and then you have an internal struggle while Hlaalu also adds to the pressure.

A thing about the temple vs. the Empire would be good, imo.

[matt oneil]

I still want to do Cyrodiil in the next RP. It feels everything so far as has been leading up to it.

[Sophie Morrell]

Good to see you Heldwyn! I was interested in the Taneth RP, but no point in doing it if we don't all agree too it. As it is, I don't really care for Vampires and what not, sooo I'm not really on board for that. Cyrodiil however, would be my first pick followed by a Morrowind RP.

[Kara Payne]

I'm not really in favor of Cyrodiil politics or Morrowind Houses or stuff like that. It's kind of boring to me and uninteresting. So...I will skulk around until a concrete decision is made.

[Elizabeth Lysons]

I understand hwat you mean W&V, its not everyones cup of tea. We each have our own niches that we find interesting. While I find politics enjoyable and exciting you don't, the same goes for how you find Vampires and the like interesting and I don't.

[tannis]

Yeah, to each their own. I completely understand Tidus.

[Greg Cavaliere]

Anyways, you've got my piece. Taneth, Cyrodil, or Morrowind. I'll do whatever. Just let me know how you need me to help and all that; I can probably write up some background stuff or some events or something.
