Blades Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Within the next few days, I shall be starting a new RP adventure, following on from the recent Joy Ride thread in much the same way as last years epic Preemptive Strike! story.As in the PS scenario, I am inviting the role players amongst you to openly participate with this new story, but will insist (As I did before) that those participants observe the rules and scenario regulations I will impose on them.Freeform RP has always been good fun, but a story like Preemptive Strike! and the upcoming scenario would suffer badly from everyone pitching in without a clear guidelines as to how it should be done. As such, I shall be posting detailed instructions as to how you can participate, and what capacity you can participate in. It might sound limiting, but it serves a story like this very well. For those of you unfamiliar with the Preemptive Strike! saga, I suggest you search back through the forum for it. Not only is it a good read, but it will better prepare you for how you will be participating. Also, elements in that previous story will come into play in the new scenario, so it makes sense that you follow it.There will be a limit on the number of players able to be involved in this scenario, so when registration opens, everyone with a serious interest in participating (And seeing it through to itÔÇÖs conclusion) should do so quickly.As before, certain ÔÇÿcharactersÔÇÖ will be run by exclusively by myself. These characters will be designated as NPCÔÇÖs. A full list of principle characters will be posted within the next day or two.Without giving too much about the scenario away, itÔÇÖs a direct follow up from the Joy Ride thread. Set against the backdrop of the early weeks of the second Gammulan war, the scenarios main focus is the retrieval of Insurgent Commander Akira from his captors. Involving known personalities from both GalCom and the Insurgency, itÔÇÖs a race against time to prevent a catastrophe that could very well spell the end of the human race. Epic enough for you? More details to follow. ------------------ Flt. Cmdr.

Gallion Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Sounds cool, but before ye starts plotting and what not I needs some clarification. Time Frame Joy Ride takes place - before, during, or shortly there after of Wraith Massacre Reason - Akira managed to fall into a trap and get himself caught by 'commie forces - that in itself is a great piece of work IMO Akira still has a principle part to play in my yarn. I would rather not have a conflict of interest concerning RP endeavors.Awaiting answer(s) TTFN[This message has been edited by Gallion (edited 08-31-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blades Posted August 31, 2000 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Gallion, In the previous thread, I was making a few base assumptions. Firstly, that the action occured several weeks into the Gammulan conflict. This allows everything to be resolved in your thread and gives a little additional breathing room for tidying up loose ends.Basically, everything from Joy Ride onwards is taking place with the Gammulan war in the background, with humanity curently holding the advance.Hope that makes sense to you.------------------ Flt.

Cmdr Hidama Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 I want in!

GREG MILLER Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Blades, please keep in mind that in Joy Ride Orion HQ is located in Centris, but in Wraith Masacre Orion HQ has been established as still being in orbit around Europa, Jupiter region. What I am getting at is this:Is it feasible to say that while we were off battling the Gams, we had the time and resources to relocate Orion HQ to Centris?I mean several weeks for station construction and HQ relocation is a bit rushed for me. But then again, that would explain why we were at HQ and not on the Front Lines, and that the Earthcom Station in Jupiter, seemed as if it was nonexistant. (They just weren't as effcient as us Galcom types. ).Yes, this is a workable scenario, I just hope that the engineers didn't cut too many corners. ------------------ CMDR GREG 'GMAN' MILLER ORION FLEET FLEET EXECUTIVE OFFICER T.B.G.

Blades Posted August 31, 2000 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Greg, dont comlicate things. Wherever Orion is located, it will have very little bearing on the scenario itself. It's not really an issue, but for arguments sake, we will say it's in Centris, and has been under construction there for a good while. Earthcom are due to take over the old Orion station at the outbreak of Gam war 2.Thats my line on it, anyway. If anyone knows better (Such as the SC, who knows the where/when/why Orion moved to Centris) then please speak up just so we can get this minor point out of the way.------------------ Flt. Cmdr.

Blades Posted August 31, 2000 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hamblin, it's not going to be called the Galatea 2, it's the second vessel commisioned as Galatea. Much like in game where you lose your first ship (Never happened to me, I might add ) you get a replacement with the same name.Rattler, glad you onboard. We couldnt do it without you. Gallion, how could we have an epic like this without your own special brand of anarchy? Hamblin, so long as you dont screw it up you welcome. Hidama, Greg and anyone else, you are all invited to participate, but it will be within the confines I impose. Scenario details will be posted shortly, so please pay close attention to the updates. Registration will begin shortly.------------------ Flt. Cmdr.

Guest Commander Hamblin Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hey, I would've been a part of Pre-emptive Strike (I hope you don't expect me to go to the trouble of putting that in bold every time I write it ) except it was just FAR TOO LONG! I couldn't be expected to read ALL of that! But this, since I've been participating since the beginning, all that's required is to follow it. I can do that. Oh, and I'll try and keep my ship intact this time. ------------------ COMMANDER JAMES HAMBLIN ORION FLEET GALATEA EXPLORATION WING GALATEA EXPLORATION WING COMMANDER GCV GALATEA. www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk "For I dip't into the future, far as human eyes could see.

Cmdr Hidama Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 just finished reading through PE part 2 and my eyes are about to fall out of my head Needed to take this break REALLY badly before I return to the story. Quite a read and if you say this one'll be better, I REALLY want a part in it! I got no problem adhering to any rules you lay down, and after reading PE to the point I have now, I've got a pretty good idea of what to do. I await your rules.------------------ Cmdr.

Commander Zeke Stone Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 I hope I can participate in this. I think my Mercenary angle will add some confusion and make the story more interresting, not that it wouldn't be without me. I'll gladly follow any guidelines, hope to be RPing soon.

Blades Posted September 1, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Yip, this is encouraging. However, a lot of players that signed up for Preemptive Strike only posted once or twice and were written out of the plot because of it. This time around, I've got a few ideas as how to keep control over it. For one, there will be several 'Acts' in the scenario, which will only involve a few characters at a time. Characters not mentioned in the initial line up for the act wont be interacting in it. Period. References may be made to those external characters, but they wont be written in, or about.Also, as before, there will be a strong Narrative element to the story. Written by me, it serves to set the scene, drop some subtle hints and let everyone know who is who and whats going on.I will post further scenario details this evening. ------------------ Flt. Cmdr.

Akira Posted September 3, 2000 Report Share Posted September 3, 2000 Sorry, should've spoke up earlier... This RP adventure began freeform. I'm for it staying freeform.Nothing against you, Blades, but the best RP's here have come from Free RP'ng (I point back to the first major RP that happened here).Does this have the potential to be a huge story, yes. Does someone need to be in charge of the story? NO. This story can and will take on a life of its own. In fact it already has.Blades, I'd not be saying a thing if this story was entirely of your own making. Like Preemptive Strike, you create it, you control it. However, the community created this together. Each person added his or her own plot twists and story lines. The story was better for it.Let this one ride. If you want another PreStrike like rp, fine. Come up with an original idea and go for it. Have ideas where you'd like this rp to go? Fine, involve your assets. But don't expect anyone to play by your guidelines unless you work out something between the two of you. And then, it'll only apply to the two of you. ------------------ Vice Admiral Akira ICV-Nevermore, New Frontier Fleet Leader - Bishamon Fleet Official Tester Battlecruiser Series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wold Posted September 3, 2000 Report Share Posted September 3, 2000 Hi Blades, Joy Ride was my first RP and it was fun because of the spontineity(sp?) of the participants. Had me checking it 2 to 3 times a day just to see if a new twist had been added. Personally, I agree with Akira. This RP started free form and as one of the early participants I would like to see it continue as free form. I know that Akuma started Joy Ride so if she wants to have it switch in mid-stream, that's fine with me. If this really does go to a strict line with you as the 'director' I won't throw a snit fit and quit. But I also won't make a hard line promise to "stay under the speed limit" either, mainly because I don't know what the restrictions would be. Despite my badgering you about being a lemming , I do think that your an excellent writer and have put in some great twists and ideas, but I do feel strongly about this. I didn't speak up sooner because I'm fairly new to the board and real new to the RP world and Rattler asked me to go slow. Akira broke the ice so to speak so here's my nickles worth. I don't mean to be rude and please don't take this personally, but please take it into consideration. Thanks, ------------------ Commodore Wold ICV-Drakr, Spectre Starstation Commanding Officer, Spectre StarStation "Do or do not, there is no try!"
