RP Think Tank

[The Chaos Republic]

Either an RP where nations that are interested in the space ship programs of their nation may meet in a conference or summit to discuss battle techniques or politics, or possibly an RP fight against an unknown spacial army where people must submit their ships and fight with them, similar to that pacific rim build-a-jaeger RP a while ago.

[Randam]

My nation is a Fantasy Tech nation (with renaissance-level technology, meaning muskets and such) which is set on an island. Throughout its' history the people thought that there were no other lands beyond the island. I would like RP with someone else of the same tech level, with either them finding the island, or my nation discovering that there are other lands (and we could take it from there). If there is anyone interested, please send me a TG.

[Novistrainia]

I may be taking this drastically out of context, but if your looking to worldbuild, Septentrion has plenty of that. If you need an idea, check out my iiwiki page (linked in my signature) or the regional statistics spreadsheet (linked on the region page).

The spreadsheet is exactly why I wouldn't join your region. Things like the amount of lithium produced in a nation doesn't interest me and would rather bore me in regards to getting all those figures set up. I mean, if I ever need such a figure, I'll produce one but until that time, I won't regret not having that or having to calculate that.

MT works fine for me. The parts of a complete NMK that don't fit MT can be easily hand-waved/ignored.

Sounds good. I'll send you a telegram, see if we can work stuff out and such.

I should be interested in such an endeavor. Get my feet wet again in the NationStates RP community.

[Death Lords of Sicarus 5]

I have an idea about a mutant infestation. Not like the ones from X-men but the deformed, tear-tanks-apart ones that are like animals but smarter than them but dumber than humans.

[Teni]

(this won't make much sense unless you read my factbook: Here)
I had an idea in which the sunken island of teni's origin is placed under the water technically "owned" by the other nation (who will now be referred to by the name 'Bigtopia', for the purposes of this example). Bigtopia will then declare that the island is part of their land (due to the many rare sea life that lives in it and the obvious scientific knowledge that can be gleaned) and the claim is then of course immediately disputed by Teni. I don't really know whether it will end in war or not. (I'm secretly hoping for war )

Any MT nations want to do this?

(feel free to ask to change some bits of this)

Edit: I've found someone to do this with me...

That sounds like fun.

[Arlansepi]

is to get all people worried that Nation States is going to end. I am serious. We get people from different regions to say that on their RMB. THE PEOPLE WHO RUN NATION STATES, take it off the line for like 5 minutes the next day. And everyone will find out then that it was only RP. Any ideas? Let me know

[Armus Republic]

Have an idea where another large empire gets invaded by my large empire and a brutal, devestating war erupts. Modern tech only. Mostly realistic but I'm not to concerned about the little things.

Thing is we are a lot laid back than you think. We only use that for population and other major statistics, I don't even have most of it filled out

[Nova Sylva]

Seriously, it's just for reference. As you said, it's handy to have when you need it, but we mostly ignore its existence except for GDP, Population, and military statistics.

[Saltha]

I always really like the Citidel from Mass Effect, and all the little side missions, and in fact liked it more than the rest of the game (I know, weird). So I was thinking some sort of fantasy counterpart where it's a city with embassies and of course shopping and living spaces, with various fantasy (alien) races and the shenanigans happen, taking inspiration from Deep Space 9 and Babylon 5.

I'm calling it "The hub" for lack of a better name. I have my nationstate nation, Saltha and two other nations from the world I derived it from, the jungle-cat-people Sylvanians and the sort of Arthurian knight human culture called Braydon for starters but I'd love to have many many different races/nationalities (obv. not all of one race will be from the same country).

I started generating some sample characters and brainstorming plot ideas, but I really feel like it'd be best to taylor the quests to characters, based on the sorts of people they know (underworld, religious, nobility, government etc.), because it'd be the player's characters that they'd trust with a problem.

Sound interesting?

Sylvanians aren't cats xD

[Saltha]

Sylvanians aren't cats xD

They are in the world Saltha is from, but yeah it is a pretty generic name. I keep thinking I should come up with something better.

edit: Also, ahem.

:smug: (I hadn't heard of these (though I've probably seen these figures before), but I searched "sylvanians" and this came up, and then I googled "Sylvanian families cats", because I was curious).

Just a notice for anyone who wants to start an RP:
FORMAL MEETINGS ARE A BAD IDEA
SO MANY WAYS FOR THEM TO BE RUINED
LOTS OF PEOPLE GET BORED
SO DON'T
JUST DON'T
Thank you

You mean, like business meetings? If so, people actually try to roleplay that?

No, I mean the boring kind where everyone sits down and acts like they're in a court room. At least business has progress.

[The Manticoran Empire]

I am working on putting together a World War III RP. If you search World War III 2020 OOC, you will find details and rules for the RP. The basic rundown is this: In 2020, the world is divided into the Eastern Coalition (usually just the Coalition or the East) and the Western Confederacy (usually the Confederacy, the Confederates, the Confeds, or just the West). Both sides are in a rapidly heating cold war and it is only a matter of time before the world explodes into chaos. Nations wishing to participate need only look at the initial post and follow the directions. If there are ANY questions regarding the RP, TG me or post a reply with your question. Or both. Thank you.

Seriously? No interest? D*** it.

I was in one of those once It was perfectly fine until people got a bit trigger-happy and started shooting at each other...and by the end nukes were being dropped.

But formal meetings are fine if you're RPing them with a group of people you know and have RPed with before, like through regional RPs or special RP groups. But generally speaking creating any kind of RP that's open for anyone to join out of the blue isn't really recommended...those tend to be the worst RPs from what I've seen.

*shrug* I've run a few before, with very little pre-planning (one here, called "a gala comes but once" and one another forum) and they were both a lot of fun. I think it depends on how much info players are willing to invest (coming up with hooks for their players, or some kind of goal). and as a narrator being able to come up with stuff to interact with players. Doing it as PbP is nice, I know I can't think fast on my feet enough if this was real time.

The one here I had an idea of a general purpose (a big ball/gala) and people went around exploring the city and running into cultural elements, (and sometimes conflicts that caused, like discovering mixed-gender bathing) and I came up with characters to interact with. The quirky/zanyness of the players really helped carry it along (including that giant T-Rex dude, a pixie and some rather interesting humans). I admit though that one did kind of run out of steam, but it didn't feel like it dragged along before it just ended.

The other one I just had people interact and built a plot around the characters. One player came in with a plot with a lost sword, so I had it stolen by a local crime lord. He met some locals who helped track it down (and didn't quite approve of some of his more direct methods. ) and they confronted the mob boss and ended in a duel as a nice climax.

Would anyone want to roleplay as an opposing faction in a religious uprising in my nation? About 40% of my nation's population is not christian, and there is a racial element to that divide as well. The minority areas would be mostly towards the interior of the country which is less developed. The uprising could be sparked by the closure of several auto assembly plants or some such thing.

How long would it last? I've been very busy lately so I can't commit to anything too extensive but I could probably participate in that RP.

If you can't commit, thats fine, I am also pretty busy, I sort of want this to be a more casual RP where we post once in a while.

I suppose it would last until either the revolt is put down, or it explodes into a full blown war.

[The Saints of All]

Currently looking for people to roleplay with me involving diplomatic relations. I am open to all kinds of ideas, whether it be that we roleplay as the leaders of our nations or as delegates or what have you. I am looking for allies to add to my factbook, and for events of whatever nature. This can be a regular ally talk where we discuss becoming allies and what the terms of that are, or it could be a meeting that goes horribly wrong and leads to war. Maybe some radicals in one of our nations are extremely opposed to the idea of alliances and there is an attack during the meeting? Anyone who sees this post; feel free to message me personally so that I can respond that way. This is just a line being thrown out there so that I can get some responses and get some people who are interested to message me. I'm looking for decently literate roleplayers who can make at least a few paragraphs a post. Please, message me if interested, as I will be unlikely to respond here in this forum. Thank you in advance

[Rodstov and Grenoda]

hey I know I've been gone for a bit. However I want to have a brawl. You know? Several dozen divisions fighting over a map. The Zerrian Conflict (better known as Zerran Civil war). I've been itching for a battle or conflict like that. Is anyone sharing this with me or is it just me?

Rodstovian - Grenodian Civil War

11/04/2015

On Wednesday morning, two large armed group, identified as Rodstovian Nationalist (RN) and Krasno-Kalininskaya Fascists (KKF), initiated several attacks against the Key locations around Domácí and targeted several AFRG Installations. In the north, the Nationalist forces have amassed around the city of Závazek, and have started to besiege it. They are led by Dmitriy (Dima) Vladislavovich Telitsyn, once the leader of the Workers party before being charged with crimes against the government causing him to flee the same city his forces were attacking. Dima, like most Rodstovian Civilians were pressed into the army on his 19th birthday, so he would have better understanding of land equipment than the KKF.

On the southern peninsula, the Krasno-Kalininskaya Fascists (KKF), have besieged and invaded the city of Jižní Domů. The KKF are led by a Farmer by the name of, Bořek Swarovski. A strong band of fighters, KKF are people who believe in a capitalist country, led by a single leader, but with far right conservative and libertarian views. They want to stamp out all liberal, communist, and socialist ideals and ideas, fighting to overcome communism and left wing policies. Since Swarovski was a Charismatic leader of his people, He was able to swoon most of the population around Jižní Domů to fight against the AFRG, This lead to several losses of AFRG Reserve Armories. Swarovski leading his Civilians all either; younger than 19 an have yet to be drafted into the AFRG or, Middle aged and had recently been released after their mandatory 5 years of service.
