Traveller's Café 2: Discussion, tea, brainstorming & advice

[Alleniana]

Monarch. Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, yes.

Yes. Grand Duke. The only title that's even more pompous than "King."

Grand Duchy of Finland was hardly pompous. Poor guy probably never knew dafuq was going on

[Ayreonia]

Well, considering that the Grand Duke of Finland was the Czar of Russia, I'd hope he did.

Oh, I thought it was a separate duke, considering the autonomy they had

[Nightkill the Emperor]

A civil war rp with magic would be interesting.

But the trick is that such an rp shouldn't be set in America (though it can). I personally feel exploring a different country, like Iraq (where civil war is very realistic) would be cooler.

We did have a senate, which was pretty cool... if you forgot that it answered to the Grand Duke, at least.

Good times, good times. At least the Russians were more benevolent overlords than the damn Swedes.

What about one based on the years of Tsar Ivan in Russia, or the Communist Revolution in Russia?

Could work well indeed.

I was just thinking countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan because I was doing some research on the FATA and realised again just how fucked my neighbour is.

You know it's bad when they make an Arma 2 map of it.

There's a video game about the FATA?

Not entirely, but someone took the time to create an incredibly detailed mod importing the terrain and villages for it.

Ah, cool.

I wish that area had more Western attention. It's a true living hell, and a good example of why Partition was a bad idea in the end.

But then, most of Pakistan is heading toward greater hell.

Just saying, anywhere they found Bin Laden probably isn't a gleaming bastion of democracy and religious tolerance.

Which is too bad. I feel sad for them. They're brothers, in a way, even if we aren't friendly. There's a millennia of history between us.

*shrug*

Anyway, an rp in Pakistan would be interesting, but I doubt anyone here could do it very well.

[Ammar]

Actually, I'm gonna get working on an RP based on the Communist Revolution of Russia. Now, when did that actually begin?

I have serious doubts the one I'm making that's fairly straight forward will end in anything but failure, so can't help you there.

Oh, you are Finnish?

Were they? I mean, back in the Swedish era, Malmo was less Swedish than Turku.

1917, the final incarnation began, I believe.

[Hornesia]

1917, during World War 1.

That may be a good place to start.

How about an RP set in Pakistan during the discovery of Bin Laden? We can play as either Pakiatan intelligence officer, Bin Laden's bodyguards....or US Navy Seal. Of course, I will limit the amount of Navy Seal to maybe 6 or 7

*rubs hands together*

Well, this is going to be a terrible historical RP. Maybe I'll have an easier time without tying it in to something that actually happened.

Much too specific. People will get bored.

Good plan.

When in doubt, bullshit your way! I think I'll change my motto to that.

It's how I became a Mentor.

How did you become a Mentor, by the way?
