Eh, honestly I dunno about you running the RP Kamrad.
You're perfectly capable, but you're not really that active.
I check out the site everyday?
I just get lazy/headaches, and shit gets in the way usually once I actually get somewhere in my games.
Though, that is why I said I need help from players, and others, like moderators for the game, or something. Also helping out with updates.
1. Junction3 and I will be leading this RP. Our main role in leading this will be primarily just to make sure that the story moves along. Junction3 and I are both capable of posting quite frequently and we know each other in RL so that we can talk easily on what to do. Think of us more as facilitators than leaders. We still want this to be highly collaborative.
2. This RP will be a literary RP and not a turn based game. If we decide to incorporate Turmobil's idea, it will be to enhance the story, not drive it. I think developing a character as the story goes could be fun and add depth. However, we are not sure if we are going to use his idea or a similar, more basic one.
3. Once enough people are on board we will hold an official contest to determine the genre of the RP. If people are unhappy with the one chosen, they may drop out at any time.
4. I am very enthusiastic on all of the attention and possible players in this RP. If you are interested in participating, please say so on your post so that I can add you to the list. Kamrad? Lt Venom?
5. If you have any suggestions, they are always welcomed. If you have any questions, feel free to post them our send a PM to myself or Junction3.

Right now we have enough people. However, I always say "the more the merrier" so I will wait until friday night to see if anyone else wants to join. On SATURDAY 10/24 I will post all ideas presented and we will vote on them. Details on the vote will be announced as well.
If anyone wants to join after friday, they will still be able to, they will just miss out on deciding the genre of the RP.

The actually voting wont start until Saturday morning, then ending Sunday night. This small ammount of time between now and Saturday was for more, if any, people to say that they want to join and keep up to date about the progress, mainly the vote. So, as we love, and want, your enthusiasm, Zhar, you will have to vote again, which I get the feeling wont bother you.
Anyway, you have the rest of tonight, Thursday, and tomorrow Friday to talk about whatever, convince other on your genre ideas and whatnot. Then, Saturday morning I will post the information about the voting system and Sunday night the voting will close, which Scyber and I will tally up.
Again to clarify, the people that we know want to participate are:
Scyberdragon
Junction3
Zhar
Turmobil
Party_Foul
Elfen Leid
Massive Attack
Kamrad
Lt Venom
Stormcat (We heard you might be interested)
I'm willing to bet Stormcat might want in on this too. She always seems to want to be a part of these sorts of things.
If you cant make it a poll left me know, I have mod rights for this section. That includes the ability to make/edit polls.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
As far as the poll, we plan on implementing a three choice vote to help balance out the choices vs the voters. If you could make a poll with multiple choices it would work but 1 vote isn't enough. Thanks for the suggestion and help though.

Don't forget, if you want to have a voice in the genre of the RP, the vote will be held for only 2 days Sat & Sun. More details will be announced early Saturday morning. Make sure to log in and vote.
Also, if anyone else has any suggestions/ideas for a genre, please post them so we can include it on the vote. For now, we are focusing only on genre and not plot ideas. Once the genre is determinded we will hold a second vote for the main plot of the RP.

I don't mean to bash anyone's ideas, but what can you do with a zombie invasion? You can't really expand a story onto it. It'll basically be killing zombies for days, which doesn't have much potential.
Good to have ya Lt Venom. I'll change you on the list above and add Stormcat.
While I do not want to discuss plot ideas too much yet, I agree with junction. For a plot to a story, a zombie attack/invasion leaves very little room for expansion and depth. This is not to say that we can't fight some zombies, I don't think we can focus on just a zombie attack.

I really like Zhar's idea of a Zombie apocalypse in Sanctuary. My second vote would be an old western style, and finally if it comes down to it, I guess I could play a future zombie rp as well.
That is a very good point about the zombie invasion....
But there are still avenues we could take to expand the story.
For example, if we took the "quarantined city" idea, firstly, our objective could be to escape. Then, getting back to a safe area, finding a cure, then stopping the invasion at it's source.
But that seems to be one of the few roads we could take with a zombie RP, so it definitely isn't one of the genres that would keep us on our toes, and make us really get in depth with plot and character development.
A localized zombie infestation would be easy to implement into another RP though, so I guess "zombie invasion": could be more of a sub-plot/genre worked into the RP we chose to keep those of us who wish to have a zombie invasion satisfied.
Or we could toss the whole idea out the window :D.
Yer' choice.

"One in every 10 million people can potentially have a headache from this pill." God forbid she is the 0.000000001% of having a headache.
I would still love to include some form of zombies, after all, they are awesome.
I am still leaning towards the sci-fi genre. I think going from planet to planet could open up a vast amount of side stories to add to the main plot. Perhaps a planet were a virus or microorganism has taken over the population turning them into zombie like people. We land there at first not knowing, we figure it out, have to survive and make it back to our ship (while killing a couple hundred or so) and then we can move on to another planet with other problems or advantages.
But like I said, lets focus on genre first. The genre is the most important aspect. It determines what types of plots are useful and what type of characters we get to play as. If you want to refer to the front page again, these ideas are meant to show the genre and what that genre could bring to the RP. There is nothing wrong with discussing plot right now but it is all a moot point if the genre selected does not support a particular plot.

The whole outer space aliens thing is kinda lame in my opinion. I would much rather have the threat of having my skin torn off me Sq. Inch by Sq. Inch over getting anally probed any day. (Rep to the first person who can guess where I got the skin idea from.)

I suggest Zombie Apocalypse. Modern Day RPG, with different classes, similar to borderlands or fallout 3.
If anyone wants to join after friday, they will still be able to, they will just miss out on deciding the genre of the RP.
