Traveller's Café: Discussion, brainstorming & advice

Is it the awkward formatting?

And yep, I am.

[Arcerion]

Starting a very barebones Corporate RP, will allow players to grow a company and earn revenue, dabble in politics, etc.

Rudimentary engine, largely IC influenced in part by the quarterly revenue determined by the engine.

Thoughts on this, TC?

Thoughts on this, TC?

It seems interesting for sure.

But do you think you can break people into the concept because well, the topic you've picked requires a person to have prior knowledge about the workings of such sectors if he is to RP this well, in my opinion.

A unique concept, surely. A bit more detail, if you could?

Okay, another one that you guys might find interesting.

The story is set in Japan where a number of students live together in a household.

The link between them is that they are all incarnations of elemental Dragons and so are naturally endowed with their powers. They can shift to Dragon Form whenever they like and all that.

However, in that very same city live Hunters with a unique set of their own elemental abilities. The thing is, when a Dragon of one element comes in contact with a Hunter off the exact opposite element, sparks fly, literally and one will know of the other's true identity.

Nothing else gives them away.

Put into the mix is college, part-time job and daily life.

So what do you think? Does it make for an interesting dynamic? Mingling with your arch-enemies? Maybe even becoming friends?

Just posted it,

Death and Taxes. Basically what a person does IC allows the OP to decide how it affects their company's revenue, thus they have to make smart business decisions by quarter to show growth.

[Greater Corea]

So do you think more people will join if I change my RP to your suggestions?

(Which are very good btw)

I am quite literally hitting myself at the brilliance of this

Anyways thanks for helping mate!

Well, I certainly would. Been itching for a good platoon-based RP for some time now.

Improved for best, what d'ya think?

[StellarGate]

I have an idea.

Been playing Mass Effect lately.

Thinking about doing a character based Mass Effect after the end of the third game with a slight twist. (Synthesis ending, the relays are not destroyed, just slightly damaged, easily fixed by the Reapers)

Characters could interact as they please, be just about whatever race you want and then some big trouble comes along and everyone has to team up to stop it, rescue people, and do stuff. I'll write a real description soon, but first I want to see if anyone is interested.

One problem - the synthesis ending is dull. Control is best.

I'm interested, but go with a destroy or control ending. Synthesis is too strange for most people.

...Yeah, the Synthesis ending doesn't really work for that (I would think), as any and all conflict is basically wiped out of possibility, what with everyone

's consciousnesses merging together or getting collectively lobotomized or whatever.

If you're going with an rp, Destroy is best.

It helps show how the massive alliance Shepard built may start to be destroyed after her passing. (My Shepard is a girl, because Garrus is the only character I've cared to romance.)

The only reason I did bro-shep was Tali. Is it bad that I've trusted the small alien girl with backwards knees and the large avian man more than any human in that series?

Destroy is definitely the best ending. The fact that BioWare still tried their best to make it look evil and it still was the most appealing is kinda funny to me.

seriously though I'm sorry EDI and the geth maybe we can reactivate you someday
really, it's BW's fault you're dead, not my shep's fault
really
...*sniff*

The Garrus Bromance, I think, is just as good.

Also, have the Krogan cured. Lets watch as they tear out a piece of the galaxy again.

I did Control solely because I wasn't killing the geth and EDI after everything we've done. I couldn't do that shit to Joker, and it'd be shitting on Legion's legacy.

Oh shit, we have to do the spoiler thing? OK then.

I never punched the reporter in the face in any of the three games.

Nah, just do spoilers for actually serious plot things, or the endgame.

It's interesting how I never see borderline hate fantasy rps like this on P2TM.

Good.

Also, have the Krogan cured. Lets watch as they tear out a piece of the galaxy again.

Oh, come now. I feel that now that they're appreciated by the galaxy again, and that they're under the control of Wrex and Eve for another few centuries or so, they'll be pretty cool for a while. Even better chances of that with Shepard still alive and there to talk Wrex down when he gets pissed, because that's kinda Shepard's forte.

My Shepard said he was coming back, dammit.
Besides...Couldn't we just hit EDI's restart button or something? I mean, she was created once, it wouldn't be impossible to do again...

Unless, of course, you have the shit luck of having Wreav.

Still the geth. Do you know how much effort I put into getting peace?

And their co-existence with the quarians is a shit on the Catalyst's views/

Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww... But that's no fun. I wanna charge headlong into a Krogan spearhead, then get slaughtered from the sheer stupidity of the act.

[Neema]

You know, getting Geth and Quarian peace was the only reason I fucking played ME3. Only reason.

Then don't lift genophage. Sad, but necessary. Problem solved either way.
Talking like Mordin

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!

Yup, the geth are basically just victims of Bioware's complete lack of workable ideas on how to end the series. They hit a wall and they knew it.

I'm interested, but go with a destroy or control ending. Synthesis is too strange for most people.

I've never gone through with the endings because I started playing Mass effect like two weeks ago. Synthesis is what I'm going to choose because I'm a sucker for EDI and want her and geth to be like buds with everyone.

I'll switch it to control ending, but I want the Mass Relays to stay intact because screw Bioware's endings.

I might get it up sometime soon so I can have to plot all figured out and stuff. But seriously people. Is there more than one person interested?

Also do you want me to start a Mass Effect discussion thread somewhere?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

You know, getting Geth and Quarian peace was the only reason I fucking played ME3. Only reason.

I played ME3 because Mass Effect is an amazing series and I believe that Mass Effect 3 was among the greatest games I have ever played.

The only bad thing was quite literally the final five minutes.
