RP Plot Discussion

[Soleia Reiss]

Discuss the over-all plot or your personal RP plots with other members here.

[Ragath Ngre]

Ragath is trying to get a big ol' MC90 from the MonCal shipyards. He just needs some funding.

If anyone wants to help him take Mon Calamari (or Dac as it's really called) and a few other planets, just post. I have very ambitious plans, and I don't need no stinking plot. I'll make my own. >=]

[Soleia Reiss]

lol wut?

No really, what's this about taking planets?

[Ragath Ngre]

You're doing it wrong. There is no question mark after "lol wut".

I'm telling you, you've gotta loosen up the rules about what the player can do. Player driven plots are much easier to have when players can actually spark plots.

Besides, I know how to do it. I'm VERY good at writing propaganda.

[Jacinth Visor]

Well, a lot of the players here already have a plot and having your character run around taking over planets would conflict with it.
It's not a matter of tight rules, it's a matter of cooperating with the other members. If you want to go off and do your own RP, that's fine, but randomly taking over planets at the drop of a dime is going to have an affect of the main plot of the board, which is the Chiss are planning to come into the republic and start a war. If you've got an idea the best thing to do is post it here so we can try to work it into our personal and the over-all plot. We've just gotten over a large war where one of our members was the main bad guy that went around smashing planets etc etc. (Some here may know that I speak of General Grom) and so this time around we're trying to do things a little differently than the everyday bad guy taking over planets yada yada yada.

We are willing to work with each other to create an awesome plot that works for everyone. It's how this site has been.

Also, please try to be a little more realistic with your rp. The Jedi don't just let random strangers walk into the temple to hire themselves out as mercenaries. And I highly doubt anyone would have let your character take a nap in the War Room at the Senate. So please keep in mind the over all rules.

[Ragath Ngre]

Who knows? Crazier things have happened.

My question is... when did this become a "bash my RP" thread? Just because it interrupts your preconceived notion of the perfect plot doesn't make it bad. It means that you have to figure out another way to roleplay it.

There is no "right or wrong" plot. In this GAME, yes, GAME, you can have a loose plan, and when the sh!t hits the fan, you respond accordingly, OR you BE the sh!t hitting the fan. Since when is it required that we stick to the plot like a drunkard to a bar?

Also, it's not random if it has the background lain out. I mean, come on, what gives you the right to assume it's random? If you would read Ragath's background, you would see a perfectly clear groundwork for a fight against evil.

Furthermore, since when is conquest always evil? YOUR opinion could be, "EEEVIL!" but another person could see it as a way out of the perceived corruption of the Republic. Controversy, conflict, ambiguity. It makes for an interesting story. Games where the bad guy is clear is all well and good, but why not one which IS ambiguous?

In Role Playing games, PVP conflict will happen. Conflict of interest between characters and their players, as I know from VERY MUCH experience in Role Playing and Role Play Management, spices up a game. In all of my RPGs, I never said "this is what'll happen, accommodate," I played the game and if someone decided to blow up a munitions depot, or something unexpected, I responded as the Character. I fought back.

Finally, if you want to piss on my roleplaying, I'd recommend that you just counter my posts instead of crying OOC. Sound simple? It is. It's called role playing. I enjoy conflict in RPing, especially when everything goes my way. Remember when I was hunting down Greezo, I ASKED people to post, to try and interrupt me? Instead I had an easy hunt. I fed opportunities to the public.

You're the one who decided to piss on my "if it's feasible, it'll work" style of role playing. I merely responded.

Love 'n' shiz,

We've noticed that people have just made their non-jedi characters just waltz into the jedi temple before.
We don't really like it when that happens so unless you are a jedi or you have a really good reason to come here if you aren't a jedi, please do not just come in for fun.

Sorry, it was posted in the Jedi Temple. It was just a request, but a request at that. We try to keep the rp a little realistic which is why I posted that comment about taking naps in the war room. You may find that SWC is a little more organized than other websites.
BTW, avoiding the word filter to swear is against the rules. Rule #2

Ok, I've demodded you because you obviously disregard the rules.

If you don't like the way we run our RP and plot here, than you can go RP at one of your many RP sites where you have all that crazy amount of experience in RPing that you claim to have. Or did you get kicked off those sites for trying to take over the RP? Either way, you can accept things the way we do them or go somewhere else, I'm fine either way. But if you keep disregarding the rules and trying to take over the RP, I'll ban you myself.

[Jacinth Visor]

So much for my "gentle" reminders, the wrath of Jango hath been awakened.

[Laryn En'faal]

Anyways, in other news, I'm actually RPing, if someone needs a Jedi

[Ragath Ngre]

Bah, screw it, I won't try to defend myself. *rolls eyes*

I was modded so that I can update the stuff which you guys are too lazy to. If you don't want me to be a mod, then update the shops, do your Admin Duties. When someone rises to the task, does the work, then to be frank, they deserve the job.

Furthermore, since when did I try to take over the RP? Unlike you, I don't GIVE a crap about "owning" an RP. You may want to dehumanize me, but frankly, I just wanna have fun. If that means I have to pull the plow, then I'll pull it, but by god himself, don't you dare pull that crap about me being the evil one.

Condescension isn't cool. I hope you take a good long look at your post, because for someone ranting about ME disregarding the rules, you did quite a bit of flaming. >.>

I came to RP. YOU decided to be insular and condescending. I have not been kicked from any site, because I STARTED the sites in a lot of cases. The only reason they died was because I didn't have the resources that I do now. (Pardus, a mostly RP-oriented community)

But I'm obviously wrong, censor me. Please. I don't know anything.

[Ragath Ngre]

Furthermore, regarding my modhood, which you so candidly took away in a blatant bout of irrationality, I was working on a Hoersch and Kessel drive shipyard (Probably would be based in Geonosis) and had it written up in Word. But, since you're obviously the grandmaster and have the right to demote on a whim-ESPECIALLY when invisible rule infractions are involved-then I guess I won't do anything about it and let it die. :/

You decided to spit on a resource, not me. I just wanted to help and to provide more interesting RP sub-plots. I mean, even just playing NORMAL games, not text-based, such as Pardus, events are almost always player-driven. For example, one of the major events, a faction war in the Artemis server, happened due to one Faction's aggression against another which had recently begun recovering from a recent war. In this war, so much happened that PLAYERS did, that drove different plots, I would say that this recent war gained a lot of passion and interest. One of the reasons that Faction A initiated aggression, was that a major pilot from faction A said that his "wife" was kidnapped by Faction B, providing an RP backdrop for it.

How is this relevant? Simple. Player driven plots, CREATED by players, involving economies nigh on completely Player-Driven, created a war with much more ambiguity, much more passion, much more of everything, than any previous war. Speaking as a player, I find passion, ambiguity, the ability to ask, "Is this really right?", to be very interesting.

Another example is the Crusaders-v-Drug Lords+Slavers conflicts. Some call the Crusaders "pirates," and others call it the fight for purity. It breeds interesting conflict.

So don't assume that you know everything. I know, just as a player in a game, that often the players know best, and as an Admin, that if you go along bashing them for not RPing like you, not "doing" what you want, you're not a very good Administrator. It's like yelling at an enemy for killing you in Halo.

[Ragath Ngre]

Furthermore, just reread the rules. I never broke the "can't do the impossible" rule.

If I'm disregarding the rules, then please update the rules, or re-mod me so that I can do it for you. :/ I regard the rules very highly, and to assume that because I don't like being forced into a heavenly-mandate plot that I am disregarding the rules is an immense insult.

Now, please, take back your comments or I will make your eyes bleed with more reasons that your insults are incorrect.

[Ragath Ngre]

AND, by the way, the "re-mod me" bit was a joke. I don't want to do any administrating whatsoever here, if the thanks I get for my work is a spit in the eye.

Hey that sounds like fun, I've got Crie Hail and Jacinth, but Jacinth's going to Naboo to see her long lost hardly relatives only through marriage and then through adoption- but, hey, they own little shaaks! :B
