The Black Death (A Genuan rebirth RP) (open) (OOC)

Postby Schneidern empire » Wed Jul 02, 2014 2:59 am

It's 14 century Europe, a time of darkness and death as Bubonic plague, the so called Black Death spreads through town and cities, killing millions. Everywhere small amounts of people are fleeing from infected areas. However there is hope for the masses, through extensive care the disease can be eradicated. However the last uninfected people capable of this treatment, have fled the norths of Norway. Your objective is to guide your character through Europe in order to escape this horrible death. Can you escape one of the most deadly plagues ever?

Rules
1. All players start off in the early stages of infection, and will steadily grow weaker.
2. Players must start off in one of the starting points.
3. Players have 2 weeks (IRL) to get their people to safety. 1 day IRL will count as 2 in game.
4. The OPs word is law
5. No Godmodding or Metagaming.

Starting points
London,England. Busiest of the ports and best area of the world to catch a ship. However also the most thoroughly regulated city.
Paris, France. Moderately regulated and a good all round place to start. Not a port.
Hamburg, Germany. Anarchy. No regulation, but droves of gangsters roaming the streets. Not many ships.
Vienna, Austria. Little regulation, but is of the greatest distance from the sea.

All other cities can be advanced to in due time.

Accepted, though I urge you to think of back up plans in case you get infected.

Just wanted to let you know, that I'm not applying on this thread,as I plan to try and moderate this thread. If I think I've been impartial,I'll apply for the next RP.

Depending on the next topic, if we do the large RP with CFN we should have 2 OP's to work Togther, but if we only have a GR RP next time I want to OP it, that way I can have fun and you can play in it
