Ok, so i recently wrote a pretty deep background to an RP, but I never released said RP. Im wondering if anyone would play it. There would be four players playing one of the four sides (three of them aliens). The end is already set, like i know who is going to win and who is going to loose, but other than that, i havnt chosen anything. It would be FT, by the way. If enough people say they would participate, ill release the background info and start the RP.

You're going to have to do better than that. I'm cool with pre-determined endings (most of my RP's are that way) but I need the info before I devote months of time to something. I need to know all about the sides, the storyline, what you're trying to accomplish, and the ending itself. (unless you want it to be secret). A telegram reply with this would be fine, if you don't want to post it for everyone.

I honestly can't tell you if I would be interested or not until I get the info.

true, true. the only problem with TGing it is that the background alone is like, six pages with single space. I guess I could post it, but im worried that some1 would steal it.

I wouldn't mind. But I'd like to see it first.

Well...that's the chance you take I guess with writing anything on the internet...

My suggestion, if you truely are that afraid of someone stealing it, would be to make your own website (geocities is easy as pie) and post it there.

Posting it here wouldn't do much harm though. The fact that it's that long makes me anxious to read it.

I would love to be the humans, or even the "shadow" if they are an option.

I just have reservations playing species which you have created, as I tend to take liberties and such that I'm not sure you would appreciate. I know how it feels, as the creator, to have your creations twisted in ways you aren't particularly fond of.

So what do you say? Are the humans or "shadow" open? In addition, what kind of RP is this meant to be?

Well, lets see. I was origionally planning for me to be the humans. I dont particularly WANT to, but I dont really use well-known technology. For example, I made up the Lord class carriers and the Firebat class battleships 15 minutes before I wrote that. I tried to take the rest of the human stuff from other games (Corsairs from Starcraft, Lemen Russ tanks from Warhammer 40k, etc etc). Anyway, I guess if you really wanted to, you could be the humans, but if you are looking for a very advanced race, go Urdaan. I left their description lacking on purpose; they can be whatever the player wants. The only guidlines I have for them are A) no long range teleporters, B) no major mind powers, and C) have only limited anti-grav technology. The Urdaan also come with four patrol ships they managed to create to engage the human fleet.

As to what kind of RP this is meant to be, well, you'll have to elaborate a bit.

Isn't this kind of like the book Contest? Three aliens and a human playing a game? Last one alive wins?

Straight-out war? Character-Oriented? Etc.

I'm just trying to see if I should commit myself to this or not.

Well, I was going to RP my side (Whichever it may be) as war, but with a centralized char. Say, a leutenant or something. However, you may run yours however you wish. And no, it is not 3 aliens versus humans. Its the humans and the Al'Coth on a team fighting against the superior race, the Urdaan on the main planet, and then its the Al'Karook vs the Urdaan on the moon. The Al'Karook dont like the humans, but they are neutral to them because they are allies with the Al'Coth.

OoC: Einhauser, could you link me to the website, I think I'm interested already, the length tells of a good, long RP awaiting me...if I'm allowed in.

Of course, Kriegorgrad. It would be an honor to have you.
