Playing an RP

fel64 — Thu, 25 Aug 2005 01:37:58 GMT

Welcome to the barnd-new RP forum, made by the very kind Jamie Durrant . New to RPs, and want to know more? Look no further ... An RP is a role-play. It's based on the same sort of thing as RPGs, which are usually role-playing games for the PC. Basically:

You have a character which you try to develop.
There are a few other players in the game too.
It's a huge world of some sort.
There is sometimes a quest or underlying story to the game, sometimes not.

Is an RP for you? Yes, if you enjoy playing together with other people, writing stories or imagining events. To give some RP examples:

A B&W2 RP might see you as a God among men, playing both you, your creature and your people. You might write about building your city, learning miracles, creature against creature, god against god fights, huge epic battles between thousands and anything else in the game. It's sort of like playing it, only more creative.
A Fable-style RP might pitch you as a lone hero, doing whatever you want. You can go questing, searching for your past, looking for money, or hunting for power - on your own, or with other players. This one would be open-ended, and you can do whatever you like.
A Dungeons & Dragons RP would have you as a group of heroes, maybe fighting other heroes, but probably with an underlying storyline and end - eg once you've killed the dragon, you've won.
A space RP would put you in a Freelancer or X2 setting, perhaps, seeing you do quests across the galaxy and rescuing princesses and whatnot. It's really up to you.

You can have any sort of RP. Just make your own, if you want to (or get some experience first). There's a couple of basic rules to any RP, though, to keep in mind: General RP Rules ~ No Godmodding! ~ You are not almighty. You can't do everything and be everywhere. You have to be realistic and you have to play fair. ~ No Metagaming! ~ Just because you know something, this does not mean your character does. Your character just can't 'know' things he or she should have no right to know, such as knowing where other gods are at the very beginning of the game. Use your common sense. ~ Be descriptive and detailed ~ Make sure each post you make is in your best english and always try to be descriptive. Try to tell us what your doing, whether it be making an army or training your Creature. You can't suddenly have an army of enormous proportions if you haven't commented on it in any of your previous posts. ~ Remain in character and keep to continuity ~ Always try to stay in character for the RP, use the RP discussion thread to talk about things. Also, remember to keep to continuity - don't try to change the past or add to it. ~ Try to stay the same pace with everyone else ~ Don't get to far ahead or to far behind everybody else. Try to keep 'time' in sync with the other players. ~ Use your common sense ~ Again, just use your common sense and be realistic. [EDIT - Lord Terrible] Wow, hot-diggity! An RP forum! This is great Teh Fight should DEFINATELY be kep out of here at all costs... It has as much to do with roleplaying as bananas have to do with octet streams. God-modding; Know your Enemy Those unfamiliar with board roleplaying might not be too sure what godmodding is. While they will quickly learn it is a bad thing, they might do it unwillingly or unknowingly. Here are some examples:

determined the result on him

You aren't invincible. This game isn't about the Heroic Adventures of You. It's supposed to be fun for everybody, including your enemies. If we continue the above scenario...
Modifying/ignoring the actions or intents posted by other players. If Trogdor makes a detailed post describing how he set your thatched roof cottage on fire, don't mess around with time/space to delive a sword to his foot just in time to distract him from the burnination. Or course, n00btards are to be ignored at will.
In extension to the previous: Don't make your character too powerful. You are supposed to be on an equal standing with your roleplaying peers, as mentioned earlier, not to rule the entire RP. It can be done if the others accept as a part of the storyline, but it still takes an experienced roleplayer (Kaiser for example) to pull it off. It's no fun playing against somebody who can't die, and you might quickly find yourself without the attention of the other players if you abuse your made-up superpowers.

As a rule of thumb, the effect on your environment you can have is proportional to the amount of effort and seriousness you put into doing it. For example, somebody going "I stab Lord T in the stomach and he falls to the floor" will be harshly ridiculed/ignored by me. Somebody writing a 300 word description of a combat sequence with blows being dealt and parried at both sides, ultimately ending with a blade closing in on my abdomen, however, will probably be awarded with a detailed post of how I get stabbed and falls.

The Infection

TheWildDog — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:53:21 GMT

Hey there everyone! It's been a long time since I made an RP, but here it goes. I know, I normally make little posters/headers for my RP's, but...I don't have printshop installed right now. I lost it when I reformat computer. I will re-install it again sometime, though. Don't know when. Anyway, on with the RP.

The Infection - A deadly virus has spread throughout most of the world. By the year 2012, only two places remained uninfected and a large wall was built around it. The wall was built by the end of 2011, when everyone knew that most of the world was now infected and they wanted to keep the infected out and the survivors in. The two places uninfected were Australia and Asia. Soldiers and law enforcment had the wall heavily guarded. Nothing could get in or out without them knowing. On the inside of the wall, things were now like they used to be. Many people and families living happy lives. But on the outside of the wall, it was complete chaos. Zombies were taking over. When the infection first began in 2009, all the zombies were like the ones you'd see in movies: very slow walkers and they were stupid. As time went on, and more people got infected, by 2012, they became smarter and faster and some began getting different abilities and they began to make names for them selves, some of which were known as the Crawlers, Screechers, and even Vomiters(check the 'The Infection - Complete Creatures List' for more details), and many more. Our story takes place on the outside of the wall...where the zombies roam, and the living fight for survival, as a team or on their own.

Now, for the character creation. NOTE: You can create up to two main characters. Both don't have to be created right away...they can be created as the story progresses when you meet up with them, or whatever.

My Character:

Name: Kevin
Age: 26
Race: Caucasian
Gender: Male
Occupation(Optional): Street Fighter
From: Broken Arrow, OK
Current Location: Brooklyn, NY
Hair Style & Color: Short Hair; Black w/ purple streaks
Eye Color: Purple(contacts)
Starting Outfit: Black tank top, black jeans with the knees ripped, black leather fingerless gloves, black bandana, and black leather vest
Tattoos(Optional): Green and purple snake going around his right arm from his wrist up to his shoulder, silver dagger with a black handle and blood stain on the tip of the blade with a drop of blood coming off of it, and a tattoo of a wolf's head on his chest
Piercings&Jewelry(Optional): Gold lip ring on the right side of his lip, and a silver chain around his neck with a cross pendant and a purple diamond in the center of the cross
Primary Weapon: 12 Guage Shotgun(Flashlight & lazer sight attatchments)
Secondary Weapon: Colt 45(x2)(Flashlight & lazer sight attatchments)
Extra Items: Switchblade, Bottle of whiskey, pack of cigarettes, silver zippo lighter, and a picture of Jennifer(his girlfriend)
Bio: Before the infection, Kevin and his girlfriend Jennifer lived together in Broken Arrow, OK. Kevin was a pro street fighter. He fought for money and respect and never lost one fight, even if the fighter cheated. He fought everyone except for Brock, another tough fighter who never lost one fight. He was a street fighter, and a pro wrestler. Kevin didn't like him and he always wanted the chance to fight him. He thought that Jen liked Brock because of his muscles and strength. Kevin wanted to prove to her that compared to him, Brock was just another wimp. Jen never really did like Brock. Only as a wrestler. But she knew that Kevin could probably win against Brock, but Kevin thought she thought differently. Before Kevin was given the chance, though, the infection had begun, and things got crazy. But that's still not going to stop Kevin from killing Brock, even if it means risking his own life to do so.

Well, that's all. Oh, and as for the rules...

-Simply...HAVE FUN!!

-The Infection-

OOC: I'll let someone else start off...my fingers are getting sore. But if no one else wants to start us off, then just give me a bit and I'll start us off later...I gotta go make the Creatures List thread real quick.

Fable 2: Our Story

FacelessRecon — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:55:15 GMT

Micah Long opened the door of his room. Today was his sixth birthday. He lived in the small town of Oakfeild. He was allowed to go anywhere he wanted in the town and get what ever he wanted. His parents had given him 50 gold pieces. His family was rich and owned a place named Serenity Farm, or thats what the villagers called it. He knew he was on of the luckiest kids in the town. He ran to his friends house which was next to rookridge road, outside their house they had chickens and their own vegetable shop. As he approached his friends house something caught his eye. It was a small black orb. He heard the orb beckoning him. He followed obediently. The orb led him out of Oakfeild and into a old carrage house. It then went through a trapdoor in the floor. The owner of the carrage house called to him. Micah ignored him and continued to follow the orb. The owner ran to Oakfeild for help. The orb continued to wisper to him, call to him, as he opened the trapdoor and climb down the ladder. When he reach the ground there were hobbes, standing in rows along the wall. In front of Micah was a wall made entirely of shadows. As he walked towards it, he ignored the fact that the hobbes had left the walls and started fighting with the adults of Oakfeild. Micah saw a smiling woman behind the wall. She reached out her hand. Micah extended his hand and was about to touch the wall when his fathers arms wrapped around him. The lady behind the wall began to scream angerly. She shouted "We will have the boy!!!" she countinued to shout it as the adult climbed up the trapdoor.

9 Years Later...

Micah woke up screaming. He had a nightmare that the woman from the shadow wall had come for him. He then felt a lump rising up in his throat. He rushed to the window and began vomiting. The next morning he did his daily chores and went to his school. He saw his friends talking and walked over to them. "Whats up?" Micah asked. His friends gave each other looks like Should we tell him? Micahs best-friend nodded to them and said "We're going to the old temple in rookridge," Micah knew he was talking about the temple of shadows that had been abandoned after a hero saved the temple of light. His friend continued, "We are going to check it out. Wanna come?" Micah frowned, if he didnt go he would like a coward. If he did go he could stumble into unwanted trouble. It was a lose-lose situation.Micah reluctently agreed. His friend smiled and said "Great be there at midnight."

That night...Micah met his friends at the gate and they managed to push it up. As they looked around the upper part, Micah walked down the spiraling stair case. He then saw a wheel. Next to it lay a skeleton, in shadow worshipers robes. Micah cautiously walked in the room. He walked over to the body and touched the robes. About 2 seconds after he did he felt breath on the back of his neck. Believing it was one of his friends trying to scare him, as he turned around he said "Haha very funny-". He didnt get to finish his sentence. Instead of his friends it was the lady. She opened her mouth and let out a horrible scream. She lifted up her hands which now had claws and cut his across the face. He fell to the ground. She loomed over him, as he yelled for his friends. A " src="/emoticons/e_v_i_l.gif"> smile drew across her face a she cut him again. He screamed, knowing that he was going to die. He continued to scream until the lady brought all her claws down into his stomach. He froze, he felt the coldness of death cover him. Then nothing. It wasnt that he was dead, it was just that the lady disappeared along with all his cuts. He slowly stood up an looked at the wheel again as his friends entered the room. "Woah whats this thing." They stepped into the circle in front of it and said, "Pull the lever see what it does!" Micah tried to tell them no but to no avail. He walked over to the lever and then pulled it. The wheel began to spin. Micah back up as it pointed to a symbol that had a purple mist on it. Micahs friends began to scream as a purple mist covered them. When the mist lifted they were shadows. They lloked at him and drew swords. Micah terrified ran from the temple The shadows following him. As he looked over his shoulders as he crossed the bidge he saw the lady with them. As he entered the city he saw it was burning. He ran past buildings being assaulted by shadows and made it to his house. His house was fine, but only for a second, He had to act fast. He immediatly began reciting a protection spell that he had seen in an old book. The ground began to shake, and a mountaion began to close up over his house. Micah ran from his house as the mountain closed and a demon door appeared. He the saw the shadows run at him. He then turned around when he heard a voice behind him. It was some lady that looked like a fortune teller. She then looked at Micah and said "Take my hand or you will die." Micah quickly grasped her hand and then next thing he knew he was inside a cave. He looked at her and said "Where am I? Who are you?" She just smiled and said "None of that is important right now. What is important is that you listen. You are a unique person Micah. You have untold powers that have not been around since the hero who saved Albion. I have rescued other Heroes from other cities that have suffered the same fate as yours. They are from far away lands so they will not this land. You must guide them to Brightwood Tower and then take the cullis gate to westcliff, then head for the city of bloodstone. Then from there sail to a small island named Knothole Island. Then when you get there you find a door that only your group can see open it and step through. On the otherside you will find your worst nightmares and fears. But you must face the Queen of Shadows to put a stop to the destruction of innocent towns. Can you do this?" She asked Micah. Micah nodded and said "Enter the Cullis gate over there to go to hero hill where people like you will be waiting. Go now." Micah then said "Wait! What about my parents?"This question made her frown and she said "They are now shadow slaves like everyone else in Oakfeild." Micahs heart dropped. Then the woman added "You must defeat her to save your parents and the people you love." Micah nodded and Walked over to the cullis gate. He waved as it activate and teleported him.

Personally I hate these things, but following the chit chat in the thread is starting to get a little bit on the hard side. I'm really glad people have taken to this RP so well, even you IWY.

For those of you that are afraid for some reason to PM me about your questions, then this is the place to ask me as well. so without further ado:

If we can keep all the general chatter in here it would be nice, a few things that should now be pointed out to answer a few questions:

1) Yes, reconaisance is just writing in your post about you observing the vampire hunter in some way or other. So spot on there kymned.

2) Please don't take control of V-Branch, they aren't a valid target for you to control without prior approval, mainly because you could do something insane with them and it would kinda ruin things ... Anyway, their current research (the one that IWY wrote about) is a complete fail, but we can work that into the story somehow I am sure.

3) derailing peoples character progression and story without giving them a chance to develop/reply is general frowned upon, please don't do it. By all means cofront them in the RP about it, but don't do it in such a way as to cut them and their plot line out just so yours can be in... It's kinda frustrating

4) You people are going to need to start interacting more, we only have 2 groups of people working together at the moment, you can't do this on your own, and even your fnag gang may not be up to the task if I feel that you are just going about things on your own... Consider this a friendly warning ...

5) Council talk, like V-Branch, is always in red. You can however take some control over the council, what you can't do with them is make them make a decision that affects everyone in the game. You can make them make a decision that affects you though. (and if you ask me I am sure we can make it affect everyone in the game)

Anyways, on a completely unrelated topic, has anyone seen 30 days of night? I was thinking of buying it but didn't know if I should get that or Planet Terror ... lol

Where Are The Good Gods?

RENEGADEMOOSE — Fri, 10 Aug 2001 07:11:44 GMT

Where are all the gods? It seems like all the people in the forums and on other sites play the role of god. Feeding villagers to their creature, throwing villagers, etc. What I want to know is if there are any gods out there. If you're out there post a response here and, if you want, a pic of your creature and hand. I don't have a pic of my creature yet but hope to have one on here soon.

Where are all the Neutral gods?

IACOBUS_THE_WHITE — Wed, 29 Oct 2003 14:12:34 GMT

Poignant question. Neutral seems to have come into fashion lately, or at least the Neutral gods have been more open with their neutrality. Due to this, I think that a place for them to congregate, compare neutral notes, and find out who is neutral and who isn't would be handy. Also they wouldn't have to keep hanging around the and threads

Underworld: London

satansmunchkin — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 03:07:12 GMT

Background

       In 2010 a string of bizarre murders were reported in the English capital of London. The victims all had puncture wounds in their necks. The police fearing there was a serial killer with a vampire obsession launched a nation wide man hunt, they failed to find anything. Then in 2012 everything changed.

       The inquiry into the police investigation went on for month’s, the Olympics came and went with the lacklustre performance of the British athletes covering the stories of mysteriously vanishing spectators. Finally on 20th November 2012 the story finally broke.

       The news stunned the public, many thought that it was a big practical joke, and therefore just a waste of tax payers money. The Prime Minister called for swift and decisive action to be taken. A night fall curfew was put in place across the capital, and the army was sent into the city to route out the vampires…

       Publicly the war lasted for 3 years, much of the capital was deserted in that time, the economic ramifications were felt globally as virtually over night the whole London stock exchange collapsed. The great depression of 2015 spelled the end of the war, army troops were withdrawn from the capital and the curfew was lifted, the war was declared a success and that vampires had been wiped from not just the capital, but the whole country.

       In 2016 a special branch of MI6 was formed, in secret, and recruitment and training began of government funded Vampire Hunters. V-Branch used existing ties within other countries to form a global network that tracks and hunts Vampires, the guerrilla war has been fought ever since.

       That was 14 years ago, the war still rages …

Current Situation

    There vampires have a strong hold in Camden, no hunter has ever returned after trying to infiltrate this area. The hunters believe this to be the location of the Council … They are correct.

    The Vampires are trying to extend their area of influence. They are using vampire recruits to set up fang gangs in strategic London areas, each vampire gang has a safe house and a leader. Using these safe houses the council hopes that they can expand their stronghold and kick the hunters out of London for …

    V-Branch HQ is in Waterloo, no vampire has ever survived going into Waterloo.

Players

There are three main classes of vampire;

The Elder

Oldest of the vampires, these have been around since before the war.

Physically weaker than the other vampires, they look old and frail, have a superior knowledge of the vampire history.
Elders all have a pet which they use to perform actions that their frail bodies will not allow them to., either a Hellhound or a Zombie.

Hellhounds – or more accurately Vampire dogs.

Give early warning of nearby enemies.

Weaker than vampires, but superior in strength to a human.

Fast, agile and stealthy.

Zombies.

Slow, cumbersome and hard to hide.

The council is comprised entirely of elders. Elders that are not on the council serve it by researching and seeking out lost artefacts of the Vampire civilization.

Vampire Soldier

Vampires that have been “recruited” (selectively turned) by the council.

Each one is recruited for a particular speciality which they posses and perform better than other vampires, these are;

Strength

Stealth

Ranged

Technology

Soldiers answer directly to the council and do most of their grunt work.

All soldiers start close to the council chambers.

Rogues

Vampires that have not been turned by, and have no link, to the council.

They are generally untrained in any particular field, but through the need to survive have learnt a bit of everything

Rogues usually live in areas where there vampire presence is weakest. Their movements are therefore usually unnoticed, however if they are spotted help tends to be hard to get.

Becoming a vampire has three key stages:

* The Dream: A vivid dream of the day you were bitten, where you were, what you were doing, who it was that bit you, why they bit you etc. The more detail the better.
* The Awakening: The realisation of your surrounding, where are you, who is there etc. Rogues can wake up anywhere in game day London. Elders can awake anywhere at any time in history.
* The Remembering: The memory of who you once were, what you used to do, who your family was etc. Elders remember their past as a vampire until the current time, Rogues and Soldiers remember their lives before becoming a vampire.

Rules

This RP relies on advancing your character, gaining gang members, attacking neighbouring areas to expand your influence, and fighting off rival Vampires. Failing to advance will result in the Vampire Hunters tracking you down and killing you. You’ve been warned.
Every vampire has a crypt, this is their home, and safe house (you cannot be killed in your crypt). Initially it can only fit 2 people in. Improving it or replacing it takes time.
You can die, things that can kill you are;

Sunlight

Wooden steak through the heart

Beheading

Fire

Things Vampires can do:

Overpower normal humans they are naturally stronger than Humans. With the exception of the Elders.

Convert humans, when you feed you can choose to just feed or to feed and convert. Converted humans will join your gang.

Research vampire relics/artefacts, the more powerful the relic the longer the research, location and retrieval take. Some relics may not exist at all, especially the really powerful ones.

Recruit a gang of vampires, however you can only have as many as will fit into your crypt.

Things Vampires can’t do:

Go for more than a week without feeding, after 2 days the vampire starts to weaken, after 7 days they slip into a hypo-haemic coma and can only be saved if someone feeds them blood.
Turn into a bat, or any other form of animal, unless they have a relic that does such a thing.

Be resurrected, sorry but once you die you turn to dust and it blows away in the wind and you are never seen again.

Enter a church. Therefore if a human enters a church they are safe.

Each page (25 posts) is a day unless otherwise stated.
The council may set special tasks from time to time. These have a time limit for completion set on the number of posts. Only vampires with connections to the council will know about these tasks straight away.
No godmodding, you’re a vampire, not a deity. If you don’t state in your starting post that you know something, then you don’t know it until you learn it. Learning things takes time.
You can create more than one vampire if you wish.
OOC chat is written in italics, and only OOC chat can use italics
Keep it clean, and enjoy!

Map of London

Vampires must select where they are starting out, Elders and Soldiers must start in Camden (the red bit), rogues can start anywhere else. When you take over an area it will be marked on the map as being under your control. You can should you wish fight each other for a particular area, holding certain areas has certain benefits, which will remain secret for now.

Where are the B&W2 Gods? Temporary discussion thread for the Alignment Threads.

BattleF08 — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 05:33:50 GMT

Hey there everyone from the , and Neutral Threads(sorry, but if you're not part of the alignment thread RP community this thread is not for you and I would ask you to depart. Please do not spam). I thought it would be a good idea if we had an open vote on which race you plan to have as your own in the future of the B&W2 RP. I thought a poll was the best way for this since it will form an inventory everyone can see. This will help for the future as you can see which races the others are playing with. We'll also be able to balance everything out better so we're not all playing norse and japanese for example. That's the first use for this thread. Secondly there's a lot of other stuff to work out, now that we're transferring to a B&W2 universe with B&W2 rules in the RP instead of B&W1. I know we don't uphold strict rules in the RP really, but I think it would be a good idea to establish some guidelines about how we're going to handle things like the power of the new miracles, the Epic Miracles, army building and any other stuff that might need clarification or guidelines. This is only a temporary thread. I created it because there is a lot to discuss and doing it all in the alignment threads could interrupt the RP with pages of discussions. This way seems better. While Lord T suggested a general discussion thread I believe it would be best to limit the usual short discussions to the threads themselves. Once we've worked all this stuff all out we shouldn't have this much to discuss until B&W3 arrives. If others think we could really use a discussion thread this could be used for it, but otherwise we should just let this one die once we're finished. To answer the poll's question I'm using the Japanese since they are the most appropriate race for me to choose, since I'm training Ninjas. I'll post my opinions on the other stuff later to kick of the discussion if no one esle does

The Nipple Piercing Studio RP

NUNBERRY — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 15:39:40 GMT

Hi - My name is Ferris von Flicklschtabb and I run a nipple piercing studio here in downtown San Florides. Many people come and go here, some looking for nipple piercings, some looking for spiritual guidance or possibly chasing down a thief who shot their father in the 70's. But, as a piercer of nipples, I can only really help the former. Maybe you are one of those people ?

For example :
Name : Ferris Von Flicklschtabb
Age : 43
Gender : Male
Character Bio : After years spent in a motorcycle gang punching holes in peoples bodies with metal impliments because they spilled his beer, got blood on his bike or looked at his woman, Ferris hung up his boots and invested all his hard earned stolen money into a two-room nipple-piercing studio so he could use his talents for society's benefit.
Motivation for visiting the nipple piercing studio : He works there.

Descriptive text is in normal typeface (Times, Black, size 3)

Ferris arrived at the Nipple Piercing Studio at 8am. While it didn't open until 10am he was too excited to stay at home. The thought of all the people he would meet and nipples he would pierce had kept him awake all night and he couldn't wait a moment longer to open the shop.

Speech is in italic type

Every day is a new adventure. I wonder what interesting people I might meet today? he said to himself as he worked the key in the door.

OOC is in Red Type.
If you can think of a use for purple type with a DarkGray highlight, let me know. It rocks.

Civilization: Chapter 1: In the Beginning (3500 BCE to 2000 BCE)

TheIwatchingyou — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 05:25:44 GMT

Welcome to Civilization, the RP that extends throughout the entire span of Human History, and beyond. Each chapter will cover certain lengths of time, where each post is a set amount of time. This time to post ratio will be different for every chapter. Each chapter will have its own limitations and rules on what players can do in any given time frame. beaching such limitations is godmodding, and were the words of the village idiot that somehow managed to make it into the history books(because they didnt have google and modern knowledge). At the end of the chapter, it will be Marked, and everything in known history will be transfered to the next chapter. Should you wish to continue posting in a revious chapter, feel free to do so, but know that it will have no affect in later chapters after the mark, and posting in a previous chapter will still have the same limitations as it did before the mark... so it is best to try to reach the limits of the Current chapter right at the end of the chapter. lest you will be behind in a later chapter.

Chapters will follow as such:
Ch1: The Beginning of Civilization(conversion from nomadic peoples to farmers)"3500BCE to 2000"
Ch2: The Formation of cities(Religions, city states, small armies<1000)"2000 to 1200 BCE"
Ch3: The First empires( Early governments, conquering other city states, organized religions, intra-empire trade, Larger armies <10,000)"1200 BCE to 800 BCE"
Ch4: Empires 2.0 (Advancing technologies, Beginning of long lasting cultures and traditions, long distance trade, etc..)"800 BCE to 300 CE"
Ch5: Mechanical Empires.( Knowledge of the basic sciences, large empires, colonies, Large armies<1,000,000 and advanced political systems.)"3rd to 10th century"
Ch6: Mechanical Empires 2.0 (Advanced understanding of basic sciences, an some understanding of more complex sciences, Complex religious beliefs, global trade, many long lasting cultural traits developed.)"10th to 18th century"
Ch7: Scientific empires: (Much Scientific Understanding, Powerful empires, Global trade, global colonies, and fading religion.)"18th&19th century"
Ch8: Technological States: (Advanced technology, global communications, global trade, Powerful weapons, powerful armies, expanding power of people worldwide) "20th century"
Ch9: Space faring Empires: (Space programs, few orbital colonies, small lunar and Martian colonies, multination alliances, orbital colonization of space, constant technological progress, Superweapons, Advanced robotics and AI) "21st Century"
Ch10: Class 1 civilization (Powerful space armies, defenition of Humanity blurred and distorted, highly advanced sciences, colonization of entire solar system, manned probes to other stars, hypothetical advances Global empires) "22nd Century"
Ch11: Class 2 Civilization: (Alien contact, extra solar colonies and territories FTL travel, Sci-fi concepts, lack of physics laws)"23rd to 30th century"
Ch 12: Class 3: (Universal Empire.)

Remember, you represent the actions of a group of people, not an empire, not a nation, the people, your empires may fall to other players, but your people will not die off so long as you are playing.

Now for Chapter 1: "In the Beginning"

Rules:
You may start anywhere on Earth
You control a small group of people numbering about 200 at first, but may reach near 10,000
you must deal with barbarians, raiders, and other non-player tribes*
you have a small city and the surrounding area
day to day weather and climate can make or kill you.

Limits:
You may not control more than your city
your technology is near stone age.

I will star out as a people called the Pilans, we are located along the Nile Delta, there are 300 of us, and we live in a small town with no name yet, and we have 13 acres of feilds.

"The Quest for Violet Emblem"

Goldenarms77 — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:19:02 GMT

I'd like to welcome you to my first RP.

My names Goldenarms or Gold for short and I'd like to let you enjoy this wonderful RP. So submit your character and I'll get us started.

It is in the early years of Yuik (The fictional planet in which this RP takes place). Knights and other species reside on this planet. As war raging between the 3 super races (Humanoids, Undead, Elf-Knights) it is causing the peaceful world that once was to crumble beneath the nuetral people of the planet. A prophecy has been told to many of men and woman's kin. The prophecy simply states.

"With the Violet Emblem the world shall fall back to peace."

Children truly hope and believe in this prophesy but no man or woman has had the courage to search for it. Except one man... His name is Jok and he strives to look for fellow journeymen to help him search for the Violet Emblem. The man shall leave his village and find the Emblem, in the hopes that the world will be peaceful once again.

Gold: "Quick couple of notes before we get started: I only want 5 fellow party members to join me on the quest, you can come in at anytime in the story; also, a little heads up. At the end of all this, everyone will die. NOW LISTEN! I know that sucks but its part of the story and you want be dieing with out some credibility... Alright. Submit your character by following the basic character setup guidelines and we can get this show started."

Ramses, the master and head of the family, has just been killed most cruelly; there was poison in his beer. We must all continue on this cruise downstream to Memphis, where Khu, the son of Ramses, must perform sacrifice to the gods. Some handy things about Egypt: Wiki Guide Name and Partly Culture Reference Only Names List of available/suggested characters (but you can make up your own): Son of the Ramses - Khu - Wife - - Mistress / Servant of wife - - Second female servant - - Eunuch of Ramses - - Priest of a God - - Ramses' Apothecary - - Captain - - Navigator - - Cousin - - Rich Farmer's son tradesman - - Friend of Ramses - - Young Scribe - - Those are just some ideas, no obligation to fill them! there are always other things you could be, or one of the character's servants/wives etc, african war slave, stowaway thief (depending on storyline not much to say/ a lot to say). Think of your own character, if you like Just post the Character - Name there, and then I can make a list with Character - Name - Player. So, just post your character, name (if you cant think of an authentic one, go to one of the sites) here, and then it can all start I do hope that this one will work off ... The point is, you just go with the flow of the storyline, until you are ready and you all announce who you think it is, at which point the killer will either be caught and act, or you miss him entirely ... This time, i do not want to be staff. Can i please ask one of the mods (jamie, would you do it?) to PM who you want to be killer with the account details (which i'll give to the mod first, of course)? edit: We are set in Egypt, sometime before it was conquered by Alexander the Great. We won't get great accuracy anyway, so there's no point in trying. And I expect you ALL to join! If you have stage fright, think of how i feeled when I posted this. Come on, we missed out on great talent last time because of it; now there are only respected HKs here, your friends!

The Great War

figgy13 — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:56:38 GMT

This idea came about in the RP “2500” but Undead—God disapproved it so here it is.

The year is 2700; Earth has taken rule over the entire Delta Quadrant and has colonies throughout it that act as outposts. They have developed an interplanetary republic led by a supreme chancellor much like the one of Star Wars; however a dictatorship under Xenobia in the Beta Quadrant challenges the Republic and has put together an army of robots to battle Earth and its people. Xenobia has taken over all or most of the Beta Quadrant. These two super galactic powers have been battling for ten years now, half the universe is inflamed with battles, both in space and on planets. This is the Great War.

Players

You can have many roles

You are the ruler of a planet that is a member of the republic. Although you are sponsored by the great Earth, you must send aid when needed to help fight the Xenobians. You receive some protection from Earth if needed.
You are the noble who watches over a planet in the Beta star system. You must do what you’re told but you do have some independence. You can still make laws and have control over your armies but your economy is dependent upon Xenobia. The only advantage is that if you’re attacked you receive great protection from Xenobia.
You may choose to be a neutral planet in the Delta or Gamma Quadrents. You can then pledge allegiance to an empire later if you want. You are your only protection and if ever Earth or Xenobia wishes for more land you are vulnerable. You make your own laws and are part of no alliance unless you and other players form your own.
You may choose to be either Earth or Xenobia (It would be great if Undead--God and Iwy took responsibility of these empires) but you must PM me to tell me you want to be them. Don’t god mod with your strength. You are responsible for most of the battles that will occur and protection of your states or nobles. You have the greatest power and Earth has a greater Economy than Xenobia but Xenobia has a slightly more powerful military. You make take slight control over other players’ countries as you rule them but once again don’t abuse your power.

Technology

Robots are extremely common and have earned citizenship in most places. Humans and other intelligent life forms live alongside them.
Nuclear missiles are still used but are now 20 times stronger than those we use today. Chemical warfare is common.
Both bullets and plasma weapons (think Halo) are used.
Large fleets roam space and flying cars exist.
Light speed has been achieved.
Terraformation devices exist.
Nanobots and robotic soldiers exist and people no longer fight in wars.
The hardest materials are now diamond silk and carbon nanofibers.
Time travel and time acceleration and deceleration are being developed.
Planets can be converted into stars with necessary recourses.
Domes so that undersea and outer space colonies can exist have been developed.
Poverty is a thing of the past.
Diseases are always being eliminated so new chemical weapons must always be created.
Ect.

Rules

Part of this game is advancing; therefore you must advance in order to survive.
You can take over planets and make smaller war.
If a player gets conquered he may start a new civilization or lead a revolt on his planet.
Each post is a week in real time.
You can only start with one planet with the exception of Earth and Xenobia.
No god modding.
You may talk in OOC because I think OOC threads are dumb.
You don’t have to be human.
Be realistic in a way, I no it will get hard but try.
Developing technology and terraforming planets or even creating them must take long.
Include a description when you start
ENJOY THE GAME ITS ONLY A GAME

Oh and I'll post my planet soon.

Who wants to rule the World?

ParamontStudios — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:20:08 GMT

We all know that the other threads went to trash. So I decided that we needed a new one. Here are a list of all the rules:

1:No godmodding, meaning you can't conquer an entire country in a single post. Also you can't say you destroyed an army without having an unbiased Game-Master approve the victory (Agaisnt Claimed Countries)

2:No space stuff until post 1000. After post 1000 colonization on Moon and Mars, but sattelites can leave solar system.

3: Respect ALL players!

4: Have fun, and luck!

Sign-ups are allowed here!

Off-topic? Post in the thread called Who Wants to rule the World? "OOC"

On that note I begin:

"Today the President of France was forced out of office after Parisians stormed the palace. The city of Paris is the headquaters of the French Republic that has claimed all the land in France. Rebels continue to resist the new Republic, but the Grand Armee has been divided and sent, to restore order around the nation. Stocks plummeted as the president was forced out on November 21 2008, and now is residing in a homeless shelter. We wish him luck, along with our new Council!"

Note-Oh another thing. Microsoft Paint is only working on GrayScale for me at this time. If you could please upload a world map that would be great!

One caveat: anyone I play with is required to be able to write...

The Infection - Complete Creatures List

TheWildDog — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:54:40 GMT

The Infection - Creatures

Most Common

Name: Regular Zombie

Info: Just an ordinary infected human, or animal. Some are stupid, but some can be quite smart. Some are also pretty fast. One bite or scratch from one of these zombies will infect you, and depending on the size of the bite, or scratch, it could take from 10 minutes to 2 days for the infected human to change. Also, some zombies over time can learn to use weapons and become smarter and faster.

Name: Undead Assassin

Info: These are one of the most deadly zombies of them all. They usually dress in a hooded jacket and gloves, the hood is always up. Some even have a mask as well, or bandana over the mouth. They are usually armed with a sharp weapon, which could be a sword, knife, etc. The ones without weapons, though, will find other ways to kill you, such as breaking your neck, ripping out your spine, or ripping off your head. Most will try to be stealthy. But if seen, they will just attack, or hide. But if they attack, it is best to fire non-stop until it is dead. Don't bother fighting it because fighting it is like trying to fight a trained ninja. You just won't survive unless you have the right fighting skills.

Name: Screecher

Info: The Screecher is just like the regulars. Only difference is if it spots a survivor, it will let out a loud screeching noise, which can be heard from up to 5 miles away, which will alert any zombies within that range. Once it has alerted the others, then just like a regular, it will attack the survivor.

Name: Undead Soldier

Info: The Undead Soldiers are an extremely experienced and smart zombie. They are well trained and have the same skills as they did when they were alive. There are the fighters and the shooters. The fighters normally carry around a combat knife or machete. The shooters obviously carry around guns, and sometimes even grenades.

Name: Suicide Zombie

Info: A Suicide Zombie can be dangerous if you are in it's way. As long as you move, though, you are safe. They mainly drive vehicles, usually large ones such as buses, trucks, etc., and they will go at you top speed and ram into you. After hitting you, they just keep going straight ahead until they finally hit something, usually causing an explosion, and in the process, killing itself.

Name: Undead Thug

Info: The name is basically self explanatory. Just like the Undead Assassins and Undead Soldiers, the Undead Thugs have the characteristics of your everyday thug, or gangster. They are usually armed with a small handgun or machine pistol, but some are armed with a knife, bat, steel pipe, or even crowbar. They are also one of the fastest of the zombies, besides the Undead Assassins. The Undead Thugs can chase you for hours, jumping fences and anything else in between you and them.

Name: Vomiter

Info: The Vomiter can infect a human quicker than the rest. It's not a biter, but it is a puker. Their vomit is a green, gooey substance. The other zombies are also attracted to it and can smell it from really far distances. If puked on, it's best to clean yourself up as soon as possible. That is, if the puke doesn't get inside you. If it happens to get inside you, wether it be through your mouth, or an open wound, you will be infected and can change anywhere between 5 or 30 minutes.

Name: Tentacle Shepherd

Info: No one knows why, but the virus had a different effect on some, not all, but some of the german shepherd dogs. They turned them into what was soon named the Tentacle Shepherd. They are extremely dangerous, but they won't bother you unless you bother it. They will mostly sit there and whimper. If you do begin to make it angry, it will start to growl. Once it barks at you, that's when you know it's going to attack. It will either charge at you, or these large tentacles will come out of it's ears and grab onto you and try pulling you closer. Once it get's you close enough, it will eat you alive. But if it charges at you, it will try to jump on top of you, and hold you down with it's tentacle's while trying to bite you.

Least Common(And More Difficult)

Name: Crawler(aka 'Spider')

Info: A Crawler, aka, Spider is not actually a spider. It is known as the Spider because of how it moves. These zombies crawl on all fours. And some managed to gain the ability to move across walls or even ceilings. They can be quite fast. There are two types of crawlers. One just moves on all fours. Sometimes slow, but when it spots a target, it moves faster. The other ones are creepier. they like to lay right down on the ground and slowly move towards you(almost like the girl in 'The Grudge'). At the same time, as they move towards you, they make a heavy breathing or growling sound. Once they get a close enough distance to you, they will grab your foot and, of course, bite you. But unlike most, these things are harder to get off of you, and they will tear your leg apart right to the bone. They usually only go in dark places, such as basements and under ground. NOTE: These crawlers also like to pretend they are dead. So to be safe, survivors should stay clear of all dead bodies.

Name: Chain Draggers

Info: The Chain Draggers were members of a biker gang in their life, which were also known as the Chain Draggers. They would only use weapons related to chains. Whether it was just a large steel chain, or even a chain with the end of it wrapped around a blade, hook, etc. The Chain Draggers are easy to identify. They usually wear a leather jacket or vest with their gang's name on the back of it, and they also never lost their ability to fight and use chains. You know when they are close if you hear the sounds of chains rattling, and being dragged across the ground. They usually like to hang around bars, highways, or old motels, just like when they were living. NOTE: These guys can also swing their chains at you so it will wrap around you(or stick in you, depending on what's attatched to it) and they will drag you closer to them.

Name: Red-Eye Zombie

Info: The Red-Eye Zombies are very dangerous, but luckily they are rare. Unlike the rest, the Red-Eye's, as the name states, have red eyes. No one can figure out why, but the Red-Eye's are much different than the others. Enhanced hearing, much different from the others, thermal and night vision, and they can see through objects as well. And using their sight, they can zoom in on their targets. They can even smell things from up to 10 miles away. And they have more strength than the others, giving them the ability to break through steel and move heavy objects. But luckily, as said before, they are rare. And also, they usually only like to come out in dark places.

Name: Octo-Zombie

Info: The Octo-Zombie is almost like a Tentacle Shepherd. The Octo-Zombie has four large tentacles coming out of it's back. Each of the tentacles have very sharpe spikes sticking out of them near the ends. There is approximatley 25 spikes sticking out of each tentacle. They have three attacks. They can whip you with the tentacles, which can hurt really bad, and maybe even kill you, depending on where it hits you and how hard. It can also stretch it's tentacles towards you and grab you and pull you closer, and it hurts even if it just grabs you, obviously because of the spikes. It's third attack is when it gets close enough, it will wrap it's tentacles around your arms and legs and hold you there while it bites you. The two things about the Octo-Zombie is they are rare, and very slow walkers.

Name: Flyer

Info: The Flyer's are a lot different from the rest. They can, as their name states, fly. Most of the flyer's have been infected from getting bit by an infected crow. No one knows why, but when someone is bitten by a crow, overtime, they completely change. The skin gets darker, large crow-like wings come out of their back, and their nails, or claws, get longer and sharper. These ones will normally fly low to the ground, trying to grab their victim. If it grabs them, it will fly up and carry him or her to a roof top where they won't be seen by anyone else, giving them the chance to eat their victim. They will not attempt it in the air incase of survivors on the ground that are able to shoot up and take out the flyer. It's best to kill them as soon as possible. Once it takes their victim to a higher level, there is very little hope left for that survivor.

Name: Sewer Walker

Info: The Sewer Walkers only hang around, obviously, in the sewer's. They are the most disgusting zombies and every woman's worst fear during this time is getting just touched by one of them. They are covored in sewer water, and their skin is all messed up, they are all wet and slimy, and some of them can look pretty scary. Some are also deformed. The only up side to the sewer zombie is that you know when they are close. The smell will tell you...

Rare Creatures(Most Difficult)

NOTE: The rare creatures will only be seen once or twice, or maybe a little more throughout the story. And there is only one of each one.

Name: The General

Info: The General was the general of the US army when alive. He is just like the rest of the Undead Soldiers, except he don't die as easy. Not even a headshot seems to take him down. He always carries around a Glock pistol. He is also one of the smartest zombies, with his ability to drive. He will sometimes be seen driving a green camouflage jeep. He first got infected several weeks after living his base. He tried to get home to protect his wife. When he got home, he was attatcked by his wife and kids and he was killed. When he turned into one of them, he was different for some reason. He was smarter than the rest, and stronger, and he doesn't die too easily.

Name: Claws

Info: Once a doctor, Claws tried coming up with a cure for the infection in 2010 before things got any worse than they already were. He came up with some kind of serum. He tested it on himself, considering he had been bitten earlier. But it only made things worse. He didn't invent a cure. He invented another virus that created something worse than the zombies. It turned him into a large creature. His hands got bigger, teeth got sharper, eyes turned red...he changed completely. And he also grew extremely large claws, big and powerful enough to smash through anything, including the wall protecting the safe zones in the world. But luckily for the survivors, there is only one of him and he can't swim or fly.

Name: Blade

Info: Blade is more human than monster. But he still is dead. He is a Red-Eye, but he is harder to kill than the rest. He always wears sunglasses, black leather trench coat, black leather pants, and black boots. On his left hand he has a black leather glove, but his right hand is almost like a huge sword. That's what the infection did to him. Nobody, not even himself, knows why. He still has his memory from his life, and his skills, even though he is dead, a Red-Eye, and his right hand is literally a huge, sharp blade. He knows that there is no hope for him. He could choose to work with the survivors, but he knows he will never be accepted now by the army. So, he's made his choice: to work with the creatures.

Name: Brock

Info: Brock was a street fighter like Kevin, and a pro wrestler. They didn't like each other much, but never did get the chance to fight. Kevin was jealous because he thought Jennifer, his girlfriend, liked Brock, which she really didn't. But Kevin was still determined to prove to her that he was another wimp just like the rest of the fighters Kevin took down. Now, as a monster, Brock still has some of his memory, and he tries to go after Kevin whenever possible. And even though Kevin is still just human, he does the same and tries to go for Brock. Brock wears no shirt, ripped up black jeans, and he has short blonde hair, and he is a really muscular guy. And on his chest and stomach, he has a tattoo saying 'I Will Break You.' And now that he's a monster, that tattoo really means what it says.

A Reminder

Dan continuously checked the clock while he ate his dinner with Jill. He had dropped off his old Honda Civic at a mechanic that afternoon to get the breaks repaired and he had to leave in five minutes to pick it up. Dan had his own apartment and was currently taking night classes so he would not have to work down at the laundromat anymore to pay his bills. Luckily, Dan’s girlfriend of two months, Jill, helped him out with the rent since she had moved in. Dan checked the clock once again and ten minutes had passed.

“Crap! Sorry Hun, I gotta go pick up the car,” said Dan as he put his half-finished plate in the sink and shoved his feet into his shoes.

“Jeez, when are you are you gonna get rid of that thing, it gives you problems all the time.”

“I know, when I finish my classes, I’ll get a new one,” lied Dan kissing Jill on the cheek. Even though he could not afford a new car, he would not have replaced the Civic even if he could because it was of sentimental value to him.

“Take care…” said Jill as she handed Dan bus money. Dan walked to the stop and hopped into the five o’ clock bus. When he arrived at the autobody he walked in, paid for the repairs, and took his keys. Dan sat on the old velour seat in which he felt more relaxed than someone in the leather seat of a luxurious Porsche. The Civic had a recognizably comfortable feel to it. He started the car and drove it off the lot onto the road.

Dan was making his way back home when he noticed a photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago. Dan tried to forget the picture but every streetlight revealed the picture in reverse. He remembered the recklessness, the water, and the fear of getting caught. His cell phone rang in the cup holder, awakening him from his daydream. Jill was calling him; she probably wanted to know how far he was from home but when Dan answered it, he heard an startling voice.

“Hello?” answered a voice Dan recognized as Marie’s mom.

“Hi, may I ask who’s speaking?

“It’s Dan. Can I speak to Marie?”

“Sure,” Dan could hear Marie’s mom calling her through the receiver. He was taking Marie, his current girlfriend of two years, on a date tonight and he wanted to make sure she still remembered.

“Hello. Dan?”

“Hey Marie, you didn’t forget about our date tonight right?”

“No, I was just up in my room getting ready.”

“Make sure you wear a bathing suit under your clothes, I have something really special planned tonight.”

“Umm… Okay, what are we doing?”

“You’ll see; I’ll be over in five minutes.” When Dan knocked on the door he could hear Marie saying bye to her mom. She opened the door giving Dan a hug and kiss. He was flattered by her appearance. Dan thought Marie was the prettiest girl in school; she had a perfect figure and beautiful facial features. On the way to the destination, Dan and Marie talked about their senior year of high school which was starting in September. Dan hoped to get engaged to Marie after high school and the anticipation to the end of the school year was agonizing.

The location of the date finally became clear to Marie when a sign, that read “Lake Rem 1 Mile”, could be seen. Dan had waited for this date for a long time, but nightswimming deserved a quiet night. The homecoming football game was tonight therefore the lake would be empty. When Dan and Marie reached Lake Rem, they got out the car and stripped to their bathing suits.

The couple played together in the water like a little boy a girl with kindergarten crushes. They laughed quietly with one another but as the night progressed, Dan and Marie became more intimate. They left the water, got dressed, and went into Dan’s car where they shared several romantic kisses and then had sex.

Over the course of the year, Dan and Marie made it a habit to go “nightswimming” every once in a while but as the end of the year, that he had anticipated so much, neared Marie seemed to distance herself from him increasingly. Dan thought that maybe she was just succumbing to the stresses of applying to colleges, finals, and everything else to be concerned about during senior year but one night he called her to find out the truth.

“Hello?” answered Marie.

“Hey babe, it’s Dan. Are you alright? It seems like you’ve been a little stressed out about school the last couple months.”

“Dan…I, it’s not school. I’m sorry for my attitude the last couple weeks.”

“What? Marie, is everything okay at home?” said Dan with a concerned tone.

“Yah, it’s about you and me.”

“What do you mean?”

“I think we should take some time off from this relationship.”

“M-Marie, you, I though I knew you! I love you.” After Dan said that, Marie hung up the phone. The next couple days, Dan tried to talk to Marie in school and called her but she always ignored him and his calls as if she was unaffected by the breakup. Dan was devastated and failed several of his classes the last cycle of second semester preventing him from getting into a university. Dan tried to call Marie one last time about a week after graduation but once again, there was no answer.

Dan threw his phone out the window, and realized he was daydreaming once again. He began to wonder why Marie broke up with him and instead of sorrow, anger started to build within his body. Dan saw the sign that he had not seen for years, “Lake Rem 1 Mile”. He found himself heading towards the lake and pushed on the gas pedal. Suddenly, Dan realized he had a new girlfriend that he loved and also realized he would cause Jill and his parents a dreadful amount of grief if he committed suicide. His headlights began to reflect against the wooden guardrail dividing the lake with the road. Dan jammed his foot on the brake but for some reason they failed. He repeatedly stomped on the break as the guardrail approached but it was useless. Before Dan hit the guardrail he grabbed the picture from the dash and looked at it one last time.
