Future RP Ideas

[Deimos]

I like. When are you going to post that?

[Musicman247]

No idea. I'd like some of the other RPs to finish before starting a new one. Could be July or August, could be December.

[Justice knight]

I like the look of that- reserve me a spot now please Musicman.

[Deimos]

No idea. I'd like some of the other RPs to finish before starting a new one. Could be July or August, could be December.

Sounds wonderful. I need time to finish things up anyway.

[TheUnforgiver]

I would love to join that! However, I don't quite understand how HOO works... Is it like, you can't do anything during certain hours of the day?

[The-Shadow-One]

The DM won't post for certain groups at certain hours of the day.. Mhm nice system Musicman. I'll join reserve a spot please..

[Crepe the Ashlander]

I'll probably just leave my RP till some of the current RPs start to fade out, just so people don't have too much on their plates.
For the RP though I was also planning on using a partner system, if there were to be around 6 or 8 detectives, the players can do an OOC convene to talk about who will be their partner. The partnership will use one of the pairing's cars. Although detective's cars can only have one back-up weapon in the trunk, that means the partnership will have to think which car will be best to use, as back-up weapons can range from Tommy Guns, M1 Garands, Springfields and Trench Guns, the detectives will be able to choose what back-up weapon they will keep in the trunk of their car.


Sorry for the jumbled up post, but I was thinking as I was typing.

[>EnterUsernameHere<]

Would anybody be interested in a jail break RP? After you escape the prison you will live a life on the run with the police officers trying to find you.

[Sparky]

I seems interesting Dragonheart17, I might join it.
_______________________
Even though I am probably too inexperienced, and no one would join it, I made an OP to an rp. I was told to post it here for feedback (or post it backwards for kcabdeef). I used the old Rp's under archives to help myself make it, and I used a lot of google for facts (is that bad).
So here it is:

La Mafias di New York

General stuff and character creation

Spoiler:

Plot
You, boss, are the well... boss. You run your own mafia, here in America. Your mafia family ancestors came from Sicily, around the 1800's. Just a few decades later, you are here to carry on the tradition with the recent death of your previous boss. You reside in New York, and own the basic buildings and equipment to operate your chain. You make the calls for money and power, and the safety of your family. You use extortion, gambling, drugs, brothels, theft, assassinations, and whatever you feel. Loans, and all that work too. Gain your money and power. Become the strongest family.

Mechanics (You may want to read this when you finish with everything, or not. Up to you )
Every person who joins up creates another family, and is the boss of it. A family is created and given $50,000, an underboss, Consigliere, two Caporegimes, twenty soldatis, and four Associates. You are given time before the rp starts to spend your money, or save it. Once the rp starts, you are suspectible to attacks from other mafias, and you are allowed to go out and make some money, kind of.
You won't be the person going out, you are the boss of the family, the underboss, and the Caporegimes Your main character is the boss of the family. Your goal is to become the strongest family, which would make you the Capo di tutti Capi (boss of the strongest family in the area). The Capo di tutti Capi is judged by everyone in polls asking "Who is the Capo di tutti Capi?", with the families in the poll options. The Capo di tutti Capi should be judged regarding amount of members, amount of extorted shops, amount of money, armory size, and if you are scared of that family. I would rather you not vote for yourself, only do so if you are clearly ahead.
The game's time periods are taken by weeks. A week ends whenever you want it to. If a good amount of people want an end week, I will. If one is not wished for, it will continue until I think it should stop. If your mafia falls due to another player, or me, I know it is dissapointing. You will be able to make a new one though. I would suggest trying to try diplomacy if you want something from another family, or a small scale war. Because, being wiped out and starting over doesn't seem like fun. Especially if you are very powerful at the time. Though, if just the boss of the family dies (or is assassinated), an underboss becomes a boss, a caporegime becomes an underboss, a soldati becomes a caporegime, and an associate becomes a soldati. So all that really happened was the loss of an Associate (Which sometimes can be a big deal). If a Consigliere dies, they must be hired again, if you want one.
My involvement in this is more than it seems. I control your Associates and Soldatis. You control the boss, underboss, and Caporegimes. I am also the Consigliere, and will always give my best advice, no deception or anyting. I will keep track of your money and everything further down in the OP. I am also head of my own mafia, the Gusti Family, which most likely will not mess with your families.
Another greater involvement is PMing. My consigliere will PM you with advice, you can PM other families with "Making marriages", "iceing" someone, being a "rat", and getting "Juice" (read the mafia information section, under terms). Bottom line, PM's are used for things that need to be kept private between people.

[Nova]

Sounds good sparky, but wait untill a few rps end before starting this, I myself are pretty busy with rps, but I really want to join yours. On a completely different note, did anyone ever make a War RP based around the Skyrim Civil War?

[Sparky]

I found this.

[>EnterUsernameHere<]

Would anybody want to join a RP when there is a war going and the war is about trying to take over the world of Zora.

War has begun. You, the leader of the section wants world domination. There are four continents Agmar, Zar, Slecker, and, Turgoy. Obviously there is a North, South, East, and West of every continent. For every section of the continent there is a leader, leader of the North, South, East, and West. At first, in every continent, the sections battle each other. You can make only one alliance, but you must kill them in the end. Then you fight other continents. There will be only one winner will that be you?

[Sparky]

I think I liked your Jailbreak Rp idea.

[Unionhack]

Baldur's Gate RP.
Who wants in?

[Kerr]

Sounds interesting.

[Justice knight]

I've had an idea bouncing around in my head about a sort of vampire and other supernatural beings roleplay.
The twist- you're one of the hunters. I'm thinking up an OP now but I'd like to know if anyone would be interested?
Also don't worry I'd run it alongside my 40K one.

[The-Shadow-One]

I've had an idea bouncing around in my head about a sort of vampire and other supernatural beings roleplay.
The twist- you're one of the hunters. I'm thinking up an OP now but I'd like to know if anyone would be interested?

Erm... what?

[Kerr]

So it is like Hunter: The Vigil?
Sounds cool. I'm interested.

[Avron the S'wit]

I'm going to beat you all with a stick if you start any new roleplays before you clear out the ones you're in.
