good luck

Right now I'm imagining Ghengis Khan is a frilly pink miniskirt and blue wizard's hat

riding a pony, of course

Does anyone believe a Star Wars adventure RP would take off?

Didn't someone suggest that a few dozen pages ago?

I posted it a several days ago, but I didn't get any replies. So I figured, let's give it another try.

Oh, so it was you.

I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I can imagine it could get some support.

In the beginning there was the Void. The Void was everything and nothing, life and death, creation and destruction. The Void was peaceful for a time, until the Spirit of Change, Anakin, formed and pierced the veil of the Void. Anakin allowed the Void to change, to create and to develop. Time, space, love, hate, fire, water, everything swirled in the nothingness that was the Void, trying to develop itself into a being.

There were Two Beings who vied for power at first, Mahabisma and Chronime, the two embodied Time and Space, each with a different personality. The pair fought for an eternity as the other aspects of the Universe developed their personalities. As time went on, the battle turned in Mahabisma's favor. He ruled over Time and Space in a fair manner, governing it as the others governed their domains.

Eventually, he decided he would have to seal Chronime in a pocket dimension of Time and Space, using himself as the Seal of Time, keeping Chronime in place. He created Samaya and Sthana to rule over Time and Space in his place as he watched over his cave. They acted in his wake, and helped keep the universe in balance.

The Gods and Goddesses created a world they called [insert name here] (will decide later) and ruled over it, some in love and some in hate.

This RP will start just before this world is created. You will help create it the world, including the races. You will lead and guide your people and prepare them for Samaya's Prophesy.

When the Sun turns black and the Moon turns red,
All the world shall be turned to living dead.
Deep in the caves he will be woken,
And in the last days, the Seal will be Broken.

I imagined the characters will join up with the OP's ship captain, and go on misadventures.

Or, I do a total sand-box thing with a flexible plot-line. A long term goal could be someone becoming the head of a faction or something. All I know is I'm aching to RP a force-using Mandalorian.

I might get involved in this, especially with the ship idea. I've got a pilot character from a failed Star Wars RP that I'd like to dust off.

[Zeinbrad]

Ah! I got a title for the USMC RP.

Grey on Grey.

As the Marines will have to anything, morally wrong or right, to survive.

That, and I'm listening to Rise Against: Wait for me, and one of the lyrics is "Do you see the world in black and gray?" and just changed black to grey.

Fascinating.

Think you might find the time to post in nUKingdom any time soon?

Hmm....just replace my character with another guy, and pretend he was always there.

Sorry for wasting your time. This is why I don't join many non-me RP's, because I always end of leaving them for inactivity.

Also, anyone good at making posters, for some reason, I want one for Grey on Grey, maybe a group photo, or....a group photo full of silhouettes of the marines, or... let me think.

To be honest, you're gonna' want to join "non-you" RP's; because it's the only way in hell you're ever gonna' be good at running a "you" RP.

Agreed, that's why I participate more than I OP, though I have begun OP'ing more.

[Ularn]

I would never GM more than one roleplay at a time; dividing up my attention like that would just make for shoddy, failed efforts all round. At the moment I'm also participating in two or three as well though.

I'm trying to limit myself to one RP oping, and like two not oping.

To be honest, I joined more than 50 RPs but I still cannot start mynown RP.
There is a draft, but it is that 1955 Israel Palestine War

...Am I missing something, or am I just slow?

How do you mean?

It's possible to GM more than one if both are at a slower pace and if you have solid CoOPs and strong communication skills.

What is "non-me" "non-you" "you" that stuff?

Referring to RP's of your own creation vs. those of others.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I've tried to OP multiple rps at once. They tend to fail due to my busy schedule.

So I end up just folding everything back into one rp.

Oh... ahh, reading back, I get it now, thanks.

OPing more than one good RP is hard; well nigh impossible

This has worked surprisingly well thus far.

I fully expect all of our carefully-laid plans to burn alive.

This is what I've always run into.

I mean, I've been bouncing around an idea for an RP for about six months now, but I don't think I could OP successfully if I was even participating in another RP. Hell, I usually feel like my writing quality and general 'attentiveness' goes damn near down to 'useless' if I'm even involved in more than 2 or 3 at a time tops.

Indeed.
