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

[Altito Asmoro]

Some of both. Continue the discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=294789.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen a heist RP in the vein of The Italian Job (AKA The most British movie ever). You know, discussing absurd but plausible schemes, finding a good job, awesome car chase, that kind of stuff. Maybe that would be a good idea.

I'll check back in on that next week, may or may not forget it.

Italian Job RP

Essentially, except with more American. Or whatever nationality of the place we would end up being. Of course, this is just an idea an I'm busy with making other RPs.

[Garwall]

I have the intentions of starting an AWRP based off of the core concepts of Diplomacy, where the primary focus is on the principle of realpolitik, where players negotiate both public and secret treaties with one another to gain supremacy over their fellow powers. The main goal would be to see a lot of backstabbing, backroom deals and partitions of smaller powers into spheres of influence, etcetera to test just how players change the core dynamics of international diplomacy that operates purely and solely on the rules of realpolitik.

However, I was going for a start date in the 1900's, early (possibly Great War period?) with the POD based in the Napoleonic Wars, where Napoleon becomes a statesman and pioneer of realpolitik rather than the kickass general he was IOTL. The result; the French Revolution peters out, and becomes a minor event in history, but the dynamics of international diplomacy is changed entirely.

Many good. This is what I had in mind, and I'm glad there are people in the community who share this dream.

In regards to a start date, I'm fairly flexible as long as it is after 1883 and before 1921. May I suggest a POD between 1754 and 1757, wherein it is France, not Britain, that secures the Indian Subcontinent? As a result, a series of butterflies allows Napoleone di Buonaparte to become the Viceroy of India, among other things?

Or, rather than Napoleon, it is Talleyrand that pushes for realpolitik, which would be closer to the OTL?

I'm trying to limit the POD event from being too narrow, such as specific territorial changes/outcomes that limit choices, such as explicitly transferring India to France. The way I see it, having the Napoleonic Wars and the French Revolution be the POD, the events involved are rather complicated and multi-faceted, allowing people to kind of work their own nation and story from a large pool of events rather than have to explain how France controlling India allowed for Japan to gain a trans-pacific empire, for example.

I do like Talleyrand pushing for realpolitik however. It would allow more time for it to become the status quo for international diplomacy, and very well could be the catalyst for drastically changing the events of the French revolution and Napoleon's role in such events.

I don't even know if I want to make one. Maybe after my promising idea of Biohazard: Japan. And it will be in Europe with nationalities from either Eastern or Western Europe.

Business Land was bad. How could I raise it to the appropriate standard?

[Nationstatelandsville]

I'm still baffled by the fact that the frontpage of P2TM is full of RPers I genuinely never witnessed here, and that there's plenty of nice RPing ideas that I have never seen being discussed or advertised here.

I fear this thread is becoming a clique of its own.

Because this thread is mostly banter, with a few pitches thrown in that are ignored.

I hardly bother to read it anymore. I'm not missing anything.

I would suggest some kind of regulation, but I haven't any clue what form it would take.

Yes, well, that's where things fall apart; who's going to do it?

We're only for the Training RP; and we could do that here, except the very reason the Training RP hasn't begun yet is that the Co-OP's are busy.

Business Land was bad. How could I raise it to the appropriate standard?

1. Grammar. It was really horrible.
2. More description. At least 2 paragraphs.
3. Develop the idea. Don't post it immediately - develop the idea at home. The common standard for mind developing is 1 week.
4. Interesting ideas. A business simulator? Not many people are into that. Try something more well received.
5. Rules and their enforcement. There were almost no rules in Business Land - posts were short, with bad grammar. Make a good rule set and enforce them.
6. Quality over quantity. 50 bad RPers aren't as good as 10 good ones.

That's just my ideas. I never made a RP.

No offense or anything Pret, but you're part of the problem, and I don't see you as part of the solution.

Weren't you the first to admit it since you said so first? Besides, lack of intelligence is not a disqualifier, else none of you would be… Never mind.
