| Given the groups focus had a part to talk about RP settings or ideas you would like to see, how about we get a discussion to that effect up, see who has anything on there mind, or get idea's bouncing around, see if there is at least a common setting some of us might like. |
| Well guess I'll start it off. Been thinking of making a "Heist" sort of RP, or mecha based one. I don't expect either would work well here, and I have an interest in war, post apoc, sci-fi, limited fantasy, or anything thats not "teen" or school based. |
| Honestly, I was thinking of Mecha too. I was trying to draw the concept in my mind, but that would be hard for a newbie like me... Also, I was thinking of sports RPs (as i am in instalove with Kuroko no Basket) |
 |
| Well with mecha I was thinking of something like Macross or MuvLuv. Its more "simple" so to speak and beleiveable tech wise, though Armored Core or Mechwarrior would also work setting wise. Some of the original gundams maybe. Plus you can just make a mecha list so to speak. The problem is keeping the story interesting and getting Mecha's to take damage. PVP is an option but I never seen a PVP mecha that went well.. As to sports, I know little on most US centric ones, or in general outside of martial arts or the new more combat linked ones, like say airsoft clubs(which potentially could work), so I won't be much help there. Seems like that type of RP would have to be more slice of life regardless of path, though you could make a sport up likely. |

| At Mecha you have some points in there. We wouldn't want it to get all Gurren Lagann, though that would be hilarious, yet badass. Yet we need some standards and limits, not to have a too weak mecha or an OP one. I know some stuff on certain sports (tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball etc). We can either keep them slice of life like Haikyuu!, or insert some abilities like in Kuroko no Basket (something like signature moves or such). Either way, not the average supernatural MAL RP |
|
| Yeah why I named those Five, they have well done lore and databases for the mecha, and none of them are overlly OP. But each has a bit of a problem, Muvluv, while it has all nationalities and several good mecha, humanity is on the lossing side, bit by bit. With Macross depends on time and setting but it would need to be PVE heavy, Mechwarrior is a huge galatic war, with litterally dozens of factions. Gundam you are an ace pilot or dead. Armored Core takes place on our world, just countries are renamed, and you have all the current weapon systesm, so it is possible, but goes back to the damage problem so it doesn't get stale. Meh I wouldn't call Mals average RP supernatural, more like terrible nsfw content, and sitting around in a classroom (which ironically never have any real classes) which is getting horribly stale. The problem though is most sports RPs have to be made into three types, all pretty much slice of life which I can deal with if its something "freash" so to speak. One, school based, as well nowhere else that happens. Two, Adult based professionals, which could get boring story wise. And three, is mixed agre groups, but that only works in some situations, like sports that have clubs, the only medium with mixed ages and genders I've seen that that works on is Airsoft/paintball as of late. |

| Also we should have some sort of guide for beginners. For example, I'm no Mech specialist, wouldn't really be able to use it or construct one on my own, but I might do well on field with a little explanation... Eh, third option sounds well, we can just be imaginative and use it in other sports as well. |
|
| Well, I wouldn't mind setting up a "basic training" but that would depend on if my effort is going to be worth it. I've made several giant RP's with an in depth universe, to which no one hardly has joined. Ehh I know a bit on mecha, its why I rather depending on universe limit them to a single military unit or a list of types they can use. Too prone to abuse otherwise. Making a mech works with Armored core only. And even to do it I would need to link you the Wikia page, and I warn you they have 100's of parts. Building one "text" flavor wise might be okay but unless you know of mecha games or anime well enough you could make an OP design, or a huge peice of crap. So I would rather just pick a universe, and give the "recruits" a basic selction, as you rp more or "level up" more advanced designs open up. I mean you don't join the US or Russian Airforce and jump right into a F-22, T-15. You'll start in a F-15, or a Mig-29. Then when they see you arn't a screw up you'll land in better planes. And yeah depending on the sport, basketball and US Football would not be options, a giant 30 yearold male, would wreck a teenage girl in something like that. |

| Well, for example, I'm not an expert at guns, but I can ask my big bro for assistance... We can make leagues for that. |
|
| Ehh thats not a problem really, I would list a index with each basic mecha with the weapon types and ammunition counts. Mechs minus the semi transforming ones are basically giant exosuits. The main problem is a setting. muvluv is the one I want to do the most. But as I said humans are losing, and there is no real way of winning. Could OC it into something else but as I said don't much like PVP types with this. With Gundam who wins has already been decided unless we OC it. Mechwarrior is a mess. Macross you could set up in several ways, but its battles are on epic scale. Armored core is possible, but with its level of customization people new to it might be discouraged. Yeah, but that also needs a large player base, plust the point behind the story, its why I rather pick a sport all could do, or just keep it to a single setting. Large Rps just don't work well. |

| Hmmmm, I agree with you there... That's true, a large RP might get out of control... |
|
| Hmm..I could do the muvluv or attempt an Original content but idk if we have the interest here for it. And no, they rarely if ever get out of control. Its more of half of them stop posting a few days in, or a couple speed demons run rampant while otheres are gone, and a week has passed for people that were sleeping. |

| I would help, if you wanted... I confess Im guilty of that from time to time. I stick around to play, but sometimes just get rushed... |
|
| Ehh no worries I can make a mecha one simply enough, ideas would be welcomed however, or help with making up a damage system. Muvluv is the one I wish to make however, as I said humans are losing, its basically an endless tower defense game, though I could make up a way for it to work out with a.."win"...hmm Oh it happens on mal often. |
| Ooooooh, I see. If i get any idea, I'll let you know It's just that I'm getting over excited... |
|
| Ehh I have a couple ideas, the problem is how to force damage. I'll think on it for a bit, I always might just make up something at random. Hmm I see. Well maybe some others will post in here with ideas or what they would like to see. |
RedArmyShogunJul 14, 2015 8:32 PM
| Well I'm starting the construction process of it now. |
| My RP is more or less finished will be open to view soon, it might be a little complex but I gave the option to make a non-central character as well for the lighter rpers. |
| Oh, can i see it/ |
|
| Sure, here it is http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=68065 I don't expect many members. |
| Oh-wow... That would be such a long lecture for me, yet i believe that if i become a pilot ill die in a flash... |
|
| Like I said it likely won't get many joiners. People get bored if they can be OP. Then they get mad if they can die. Nevermind effort. Think I'm just done with MAL's rp section. |
| Eh, guess I'll join in the thread ^^ Ras, I like your rp and I've looked at it very quickly because I'm currently on my phone. I think I'll request to join when I have time, if you don't mind. Light, I was actually thinking of a similar sort of rp as you (KnB influenced), but I couldn't really work out how one would work, or how many would be interested. However, I really like the concept and how the rp could be, especially with powers like the KnB ones. I couldn't really decide what sport to do it with though. If you wanted to ever continue with that rp idea I'd be happy to help :) |
| Navy, thanks for the support. Im trying to sketch a general concept, but don't put me in charge. That never went well, lol. ^^; |
|
| Ah, thats fine navy didn't invite as I didnt know if you would be into it. As to sports plan though I still think something more pyhsical base would be better...hmm.. |
| Don't worry light, I'm not too good at it myself haha :P Well it definitely couldn't have everyone with powers or abilities because it'd probably become a mess. So yeah, physical traits and talents might help. And it would have to have some sort of way to decide matches, because it's not like people will want to lose... I just think it'd be pretty original with teams and everything, even if it did have to have some Slice of Life elements for fillers. I felt pretty empty when the anime finished, so it'd be good to sort of relive the whole thing through the rp xD |
| I just finished the first season and i enjoy it at the max! Ok then, i can think of the concept... Any ideas? |
|
| Ideas for what in particular? |
| Well, for the players i was thinking a stat points system, further points in certain categories earned in training, but you said well: everyone would want to win. Can you please make a system or something for games? |
|
| Well I could try, though id have to think about it... I've never made a proper system or anything to do with stats :S Do you want to make the club or something and discuss it in there? |
| Its late as hell in here, i cant think straight right now... And tomorrow im going on a family road trip... |
|
| Doesn't matter, I'm away at the minute anyway, it'll give me time to think about a possible system (not making any promises though) :S |
| Maybe ill think during the trip and write down in my phone... |
|
| In my experience, stats aren't fun to keep track of... it's better to just have people state what their characters might be good at, and if they grow as the rp goes on, let them, but turning things into numbers is tedious and often pointless. Unless of course you mean stats like on baseball cards, I usually do fighting rps |
| Well i do fight RPs as well, and i saw that quite often people always want to win... |
|
| That's 100% true, I would argue that they should suck it up and accept that a win advances the plot just as well... but I like winning too xD |
| Who doesnt? But some people go overboard... |
|
| True, and it can ruin rps. But more often then not, inactivity is what kills clubs. |
| Yep, as some people just toss RPs aside out of the blue... |
