Jenrak wrote:The Mentors and I are planning something special. We’ve come to create something called The Genesis Program, which is a month-long (or perhaps more) program designed to assist players that aren’t very familiar with International Incidents or RPing in general.

What TGP is aiming to do is create the necessary foundation for a flourishing RP Region. Interested in seeing how a region like Pardes and Sondria had its roots? TGP aims to provide the basics on how that can be done.

The program will take about one month, involve the assistance of several Mentors, a few mods, and will be aimed at newer players who want to figure out how to start an RPing region from scratch.

We’ll be going through:

  • Region naming and construction
  • Closed versus Open region communities
  • How to take advantage of offsite communication, such as IRC channels and offsite forums
  • How to create a working map as well as the politics behind it
  • How to get players together on the map, how to reconcile potential conflicts, and what sort of issues they may be facing
  • How to start regional RPs, how to keep them going, and what to do when problems arise
  • Lastly, dealing with outside applicants, how to gauge and consider interested members to the region, and accept or reject interested players

The entire program will be lengthy and intensive, require a lot of talking and planning, and will lead to a pretty simple end product: a fully functioning RP region with everything it needs to be able to start RPing right out of the gate with its own flavour of politics, grand strategies, and allegiances.

New players who want to learn about region construction will be working closely with Mentors as well as myself and Euroslavia in problem solving, setting up foundations, and how to transmit those skills into their very own RPing regions.

I’m not going to lie – it’s going to be a pretty lengthy program and it’s going to be equal parts unpleasant and exciting. However, my goal is that when you leave from this program, you know what to do and how to do it if you ever decide to go about starting up an RPing region in the future (something we highly encourage!).

If you’re interested, please express your interest in the thread, as well feel free to provide questions that you would like myself, Euro, or the Mentors to address. We can’t guarantee anything, but we’ll try our best.

We'll be doing teams, each led by a volunteering Mentor or a mod. I'll get a list up tomorrow, and start sending out telegrams to interested players sometime mid-next week, God willing my organizational skills haven't eroded.

Thanks Jenrak. Please (please please please) drop a TG when you're ready to go. I get caught up in a thousand things over in P2TM and am terrible at tracking other forums. That said, I want to start up in II again (it's been almost two years!) and am extremely interested in this course.

Registration is a now closed. Team Leaders will be sending out messages to all members within the week with steps and information on where they'll be going or how to proceed.

We've got a central IRC, for anyone (volunteers and entrants alike) to discuss or just chat, which will be at #TGP at the Esper.net channel. If you're uncertain how to get there, the easiest way would be through this handy link. Please use your NS name, if at all possible, since it'll make it a lot easier to manage.
