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

[Galnius]

For example, a Semitic language in Europe?

That's just bizarre.

It's the result of Arabic and Sicilian having violent intercourse with the Latin Alphabet, while Italian and English occasionally molest them.

That's because Sicily is awesome *nods*

High Concept: Zombie outbreak in Eastern European Country during a NATO Military Intervention
Genre/s: War, Mystery, Survival Horror, zombies
Detailed Description: In 2009, a Coup D’état in the Chernarussian province of South Zagoria resulted in the deaths of the Chernarussian Prime Minister, as well as his entire cabinet at the hands of the Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star, commonly known as the Chedaki among locals and mostly made up of ethnic Russians. This resulted in a turn of events causing the Chernarussian Defence Force (CDF) retreating from the province and the capital being taken by Insurgent forces. The American 27th Marine Expeditionary Force, stationed off the coast of the country, went into high alert and a command decision was made to intervene in the country following congress approval, which happened within 48 hours. After the initial US Marine incursion and evidence of mass graves and numerous missing persons came to light, several other NATO nations, namely the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada sent forces to assist in the intervention. But there’s something lurking in the forests of Chernarus, something dangerous that the military forces in the area are not prepared for.

What happen with this, Hornesia?

I lack the OP skill necessary to make this a reality, after many attempts. If someone else wants to give it a shot, go ahead.

I would do it...but as you know, I'm doing research.

I both proudly and sadly admit, this is the most research I have done for an RP...

I would, but a certain Hunger Games RP is keeping me busy

[Zeinbrad]

That's why I'm asking people, about the USMC, Russia and now Georgia/A suitable location.

I want to ask Shoef and...i forgot his name, about Russian stuff and possibly Georgia or other, but 'm afraid of getting a biased response.

You will.

I'm going to have a timeline about what's going on in the world, and I figured Divair, who I think comes from Israel, could give me good information on the middle east.

But then I remembered he has PTSD (I think) and probably doesn't like to talk about it.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

He also doesn't do roleplay.

Just do research through Wikipedia, Wikitravel, etc. Don't write anything for a while. Get back to us in a week.

I'm copying and pasting stuff to a word document, so I have quick access to what I think will be important.

I'm also asking all the military enthusiast I know about the USMC and Russian military.

Also, Div isn't quite enthusiastic about the Middle East, given that most of his experience there consisted in surviving rocket attacks and witnessing sick shit near the West Bank.

Good thing I stopped myself then.

[Fraire]

My RP isn't doing very well. Nobody signed up yet. All I got was a guy saying what an awful idea it was.

It's a quite sensible topic and setting, so you should better steer clear of it up until you master OPing.

[Agritum]

Do you think that throwing a fit on this discussion thread will help your RP?

Honestly what I'd be doing if I was you would be making a fictional country so you can control everything about it instead of trying to force wars where they're unlikely to happen.

But then wouldn't that venture into II territory?

No. But it won't do it any harm, so.....

I remember I wanted to make a Gaza or Lebanon war Rp, but I figured I better stay clear of that topic...

Through, if I'm going to put it in the timeline, better give a neutral point of view.

[Rupudska]

It kinda will, mostly to your reputation and chances of people taking you seriously.

If it's not your NS nation it goes here I do believe.

But let's just all agree trying to make a war RP that's logical in the mess that is real world geopolitics is really difficult.

No.

Oops.

Kurdistan!...no.

I just want somewhere close to Russia, and Georgia happens to be bordering Russia....

Churdistan I choose you!

Just make up a nation.

ArmA II did the same with Chernarus.

Churdistan is a made up country,from my II days

It was a colony of Zeinbrad.

So, given that I'm pretty accustomed to (almost only) playing characters of my opposite sex, I'd like to offer advice to anyone having problems in doing the same, since it seems to be a common issue around here.

Just to clarify, because we've never RPed together and I don't tend to remember players' genders, are you a guy who prefers to RP as a girl or girl who prefers to RP as a guy?

Either way, got some pointers to start off the discussion? I've got one female RP character at present and the RP I'm GMing could do with some more women NPCs (I sort of just killed the only named one so far, and she wasn't even significant) so this could probably be useful to me but honestly I don't know what questions I should be asking.
