new rp?

I was working on this idea and I'm not sure if anyone will want in on it.

[Edit] if this is considered offensive to people hosting other RPs I will gladly with until they're over and repost it then. I'm not out to steal anyone's thunder.

Freedom Faction RP (typed before hand in the interest of time, forgive any small mistakes)

Setting: US, year 2017. Following the unanimous passage of the American Freedoms Act individual liberties are compromised for enhanced national security following a string of seemingly unconnected terrorist acts by an unknown organization. The legislation is a convoluted string of new laws which in essence establish a system of martial law. Opposition of the new laws were systematically and quietly silenced as anyone opposing the government mysteriously vanishes. Opening setting is the area immediately surrounding Washington DC.

NPCs: Jon Boyd, a novelist and the leader of the Freedoms Faction. A quiet man and former soldier Jon leads the group though a series of proxy channels and is almost never seen by anyone outside of the proxies. Forrest Browning: a drug dealer and black market vendor. Browning is a boisterous individual with a short temper and a .45 on him at all times. David Mason, a computer wizard shut-in with an eccentric nature and a slight case of paranoia. Michael Winchester, a red-neck who is the self-professed best friend of Jon. An extremely good shot and a card carrying member of the former NRA (which has been declared an illegal organization by Congressional ruling at this point). A tall lanky man with a sharp wit (contrary to most red-necks) and an over-abundance of sarcasm. "Murphy" Winchester, Michael's wife and a blunt yet shrewd woman who is only second in marksmanship to her husband. Michael "fat-man" Robinson, a heavy weapons enthusiast and mechanical genius (although he has no formal training and can't identify any part to save his life). Other NPCs will be introduced later throughout the story.

Rules/Guidelines: Everything must be plausible and be rooted in what a human, normal human, is capable of. Weapons are only limited to what can exist, not necessarily what does exist, however there must be a plausible explanation of how you got it. Shots will miss, weapons will jam and infections can happen. Outside of that be creative and have fun with it.

If you'd like to give it a shot let me know and I'll get started on it.

No, don't think that way, we need more and more RPs for the RP section one day, it's an incentive! Err... I mean, don't think about the otehr RPs while making your own, just create what you want to create.

Don't hesitate and just go for it. And the setting is interesting anyway.

It seems unfortunate, but I think a law like that was just passed. Called the National Defense Authorization Act. Passed on New Years Eve, right before the Big Crystal Ball dropped in New York.

I realize, that's the idea behind it. I'm American myself you know. If you want in you're welcome to join.

I'm an American too. I might join, I just need to think about it.

Do you have a larger plot on what you would have the players work towards?

A coup. Overthrow the oppressive government and restore the US of A back to what it was supposed to be. Jon will provide direction, but how players approach it is open to them. I'd rather have people get creative and see what they can come up with.

This sounds interesting, I'll give it a try whenever you start this

when I get a minimum of five and I'll let up to 15 join. Since I'll be doing this from my phone I'll be able to update it frequently, but more than 15 would be entirely too many.

i hear guns are allowed in this rp? count me in! :9

Alright just 3 more definites and I'll start this up. People can join after, just PM me before just walking on.

15 is way too many.... one must get at least 10 as maximum. And I might join if I see MORE details and information on the first post.

I'm still working on the specifics (banking on having another day before the minimum is met) but what else would you want to know specifically?

As for 15, I can manage, it'll just be a pain in the ass, but if I managed to complete an RP at Basic Combat Training for the US Army between 23 soldiers from memory alone (leave no evidence for the Drill Sergeants to find) I[ I]can[/i] do it. Do I want to? Hell no! New plan, Max 10.

What I want to see on the opening post of this thread are:

- More rules.

- More information and details about the premises; as in cities, places, etc. Because everyone doesn't live on the U.S.

- Guidances about the character sheets and profiles.

- Some text about the slots too.


For a free-form type RP, I can't think what else might need to be added, I'm probably missing something here, but I'd probably write about all of those.

Am I expecting too much from a cell phone user? You can ditch my post if you want.

Oh my god! Fuck yeah I'll join this! IMO, America needs a serious change, and practicing is all the better.

Hmm, seems like this will be a promising RP. So we got 3 people definite?

Dude, I haven't had a computer in a year now, I'm proficient and then some with this. For character sheets, I'll you're it up in my phone 's word processor tomorrow morning. I chose DC because anyone who played Fallout 3 has a general idea of DC's layout. Other locations are New York City (Crysis 2 anyone?), Tampa (port city similar to most), Arlington VA (mostly a well trimmed city that holds the Pentagon. This RP will only take place along there eastern seaboard of the United States and it will usually stick to the major cities.

More rules, black market deals are only to be done though drug dealers, players cannot do the impossible, when your character dies, too bad you just opened a slot for a new player. If no new players arrive create a new character and resume playing. Time passes according to the amount of activity, ie transpiration will seem instantaneous unless dialog is exchanged, skills advance though playing however type-building your character is recommended and playing by your strengths. Once wanted you cannot remain outside for long periods of time without risking capture. Captured players cannot play until their character is released, escapes, is rescued or dies. Orders from Jon are considered guidelines however if goals are not met you will lose favor from him. Leadership and a chain of command are optional. No killing of plot important NPCs. That ought to cover the basics you asked for.

As for slots, I don't know many users yet so I'll try first come, first serve. You have a slot if you want.

This sounds pretty awesome, can I join?

You're in.

Incidentally I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow I'll post the character sheet template and officially dole out slots.

It has a promising setting. I would suggest you work out for the details first. And take your time too.
Wish you luck!

War RP, eh? Man, takes me back to the Durandal days... =w=

You know what? I think I'm gonna give this a shot.
