OOC: I don't even know where this goes. But I will put it here just because this forum is the best. I used to roleplay alot and then I stopped for awhile. I had to get my nation resurrected and all that good stuff. I would love to take part in any role play available. You can search me and read some of my stuff if you like.

OOC: I'd love to roleplay also. I'm actually quite new to it and technically a Generalite, however, I've participated in a few RPs in the past (look for the Atrox City and Khazaron RPs for example). What type of roleplays do you prefer?

Hey man, I like to RP too. But now everything is Invite Only or closed or future tech so there are no more noob RPs which are always the best...and now even the experienced player RPs are closed so you can't join.

OOC: Any really, as long as I can have developed characters and it isn't too terribly boring (ie government/diplomatic rp's).Yes...I'd rather like to play a non-government RP...sadly all the ones I've participated in are opening diplomatic relations...and since you aren't a Corporate Police State or equivalent nation, I can't declare war on you... (I make a point of fighting wars to free dictatorial nations) ...but perhaps I'll start a character RP, or invite you as an ally to another war RP.

Do you prefer fantasy, future tech, past tech, story (i.e. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars etc.), mystery, drama, horror, or $NEW, UNHEARD OF GENRE?

Hey,

If you do get some sort of quasi-planned RP going, count me in. I am very new to this style of what I have seen referred to as 'free-form'. I could use the chance to develop my style, and I don't see why I would even have to involve my nation if it was in some genre/world/whatever that didn't fit with it. I think this could be great with a few new(er?, me anyways) guys, and a few more experienced all working together. Whoever is going to be 'in charge' assuming that someone will, let me know what we are going to do, and what sort of role you need me to fill. Thanks.

I love RPs. I think war or invasion RPs are the best because they are the most fun to join in. But true, latel all RPs are future tech, or closed. :(
Sonorus Capita
07-06-2005, 16:06
I am not into future tech. I have done some future tech, but it isn't my favorite. I prefer fantasy rp's and sometimes even long saga rp's that could just keep going on and on, anything really, as long as the characters can be developed and intense. Any ideas regarding a new rp. If we can think up something, I would be more than happy to start off.
Czardas
07-06-2005, 16:36
Any dictatorships who want to participate? If so, I'll declare war on you (being the arch-enemy of authoritarianism).

Alternatively, a fantasy RP (mostly human though; too many non-human characters disorient me); I like fantasy RPs (and stories...), especially those about journeys, or a fantasy war RP...or whatever. Any ideas?

A Character-based RP sounds very much like a plan to me. Running about with men and armies and what have you get's a tad bit disorienting from time to time.

A fantasy-based one is not a must however, although I'm game for whatever goes. A sci-fi sort of thing would be better, although as I've already said, I'm not choosy.

Anyone else?

I do not wish to be envolved, but I will offer advice.

There are many things to do with international relations that do not circle around simple diplomacy. There are international galas where the muckitymucks of the gathered countries can get together and rub shoulders with the elite of the world.

Trade federations can be written up, international law can be ratified, and foreign educational exchange can be decided upon.

One of the more interesting threads I was envolved with a rather long time ago (and with a different nation), was a sort of gala event. A neighboring country had decided to build a museum, a sort of gathering point of the history of the region. We all donated stuff from our nations' past, tidbits of our culture and history. At the opening/unveiling of the museum, we had a huge party.

Ultimately, several of our national treasures were stolen, and we all played an investigating team to try and get them back.

It was fun, and just food for thought.

Anyone else?Well, if we go by majority vote, most people don't seem to want a future-tech RP (correct me if I'm wrong), war RPs contain a whole lot of diplomacy and for some reason it's considered bad form to start one this way. Transmission
From: Czardaian Foreign Office
To: Evilnation

Greetings Evilnation,

You have refused to accept our terms and restore elections in your country. We find your putting thousands of people in internment camps just because they dislike the color purple to be a despicable action. We are forced to declare war on you. We will commence an attack on your nation within 4 hours. Have a nice day.

~Kari Alhoun, Czardaian Foreign MinisterOf course, it would make for an action-packed, fun RP, but would be condemned by other, more experienced RPers and make us all look like n00bs. (I always wanted to start one that way though...)

Anyway, I'm more in favor of fantasy or past-tech than future-tech, because FT makes you think more. ;)

Did interest in this just die, or what?

I think that we should do a past-tech rp. It would be fun - any battles would be much more gritty - and could be set in any of so many great ancient civilizations, or an imaginary one that someone thought up. Also, we wouldn't necessarily have to involve our nations in their present state. Another angle would be to go in the past in one of our own nations, and start writing some episode of it's history - together. Could be fun...

If you´re gonna make a character RP, count me in! There´s a lack of 'em these days. (I´ve been around for quite a while, my old nation was Deleted since i was inactive for five weeks *sigh*.)

I´m mostly into Past-Modern Tech Character RPs since i like Mafia guys with Tommy Guns and the such. But any Tech really suits me. I´m writing down the base story for a little Terror-Story RP i plan to run. Modern Tech. I´ll see if i can get it finished.

I think that sounds like a plan Dionica, having other's input and ideas on the past of your own country comes along to me as a damn good idea. Two questions though:

1) If we go by this idea, who's country do we choose? Perhaps those who are interested could post a bit about their country and the setting we would find ourselves in should we choose to have this RP set in it's forgotten past?

2) Is this still going to be a character RP? It could very well be that this question has been answered before, but hey, I'm a bit of a thickie and so I generally need anything important inn with a tea-spoon. So there.

So, nation-wide or character-based RP gentlemen?

Alright then,

I'll volunteer my country, Dionica. We can do it in the past, before it actually existed, but it should generate some of the legends and cultural history. My people hearken back to the heydays of mediterrainean city-states. Here's an idea for a premise: A group of these educated greeks are sent out on a long voyage to discover the extent of the world. Along the way, they met with difficulties that caused them to be stranded, so they turn their efforts to founding a sort of unaffiliated colony. This way, I still don't have to tie down an exact geographical location for Dionica, which so far I am avoiding, and we can make an historical event that I will use to generate a myth or legend that Dionicans hold dear. Any input on this idea, or any others?

Any input on this idea, or any others?That's a very good idea. Hmmm...and perhaps Czardas could be drawn into it. At the time of the Mediterranean city-states, those who would evolve into the Czardaian people had been enslaved by their enemies. Let's say some of them escape by sea to search for a new land to rebuild an army to free their people... get lost at sea... and land upon an island or shore which either the Greeks have already colonized, or are yet to colonize... a shore that in two thousand years will be called Dionica... just an idea.

At any rate, I think, yes, having the Greeks land somewhere would be interesting. Then we could RP hostile natives who try to drive them out, or something... just we'd have to know all those obscure Greek customs. No-one could nod their head yes, shake hands, or use modern colloquialisms. Therefore, to deal with discrepancies, it can be in the form of a story told by an old man to his grandchildren (or something of the kind), or a speaker telling the tale during Dionica National History Month, or something... you know.

[ooc]All Right!

This seems to be coming together. So far, this is what I have gathered about who's who:

Dionica: Greek settlers
RoyalBank: Greek settlers
Maniaca: Hostile natives
Czardas: Czardian ancestors
Ravea: Mystical Hermit
Here's what I'm thinking so far. To have more than one of us doing the greeks, they could be broken into two, or possibly more, groups based on ships. So the captains of the ship would have become the leaders of the colony. This certainly provides for an interesting dynamic.

Czardas, I loved your idea of setting the entire rp within the framework of a story being told orally. It unquestionably gives us a certain flexibility. And depending on what you like, we could have you already established when we land, or come slightly after.

Ravea, welcome to the ad hoc group. Just let me know what sort of role you want to play in the story, and we'll run with it.

Royal Bank, we'll talk through TG and coordinate our actions and ideas.

Maniaca, you've got a free hand with the natives.

Okay, that was how I see it. Any differences of opinion, lets get them sorted out and if anyone else wants to get involved, now's the time.
Ravea
17-06-2005, 05:40
Here's what I am thinking for my character. Raveans are quite the travalers; I'm thinking that this particular traveler was shipwrecked a while ago on the very same Island that these Greeks come to. He's a sort of mystic, or perhaps a hermit of sorts. The natives know where he is, but don't go near him. Perhaps he has some sort of 'Magic' or weapon that the natives fear, or mabey he struck some sort of deal with them. He's not an enemy of the Natives, but not really much of a friend either. He's somewhat of a behind-the-scenes character; someone who comes and goes without care, but always seems to know what is going on and always has somewhere to go.

I have not decided on his full impact on the story might be yet, but I'm sure that will be decided in the RP.
RoyalBank
17-06-2005, 12:03
I like the ship captains idea - it will make the story like a greek legend where the leaders and kings like Achilles and Agamemnon are great heroes (but no-one hears much of indiviual soldiers).
Czardas
17-06-2005, 14:17
<snip>That's quite a good idea in my opinion. It would provide for some interesting character development.

Also, can we put it off until Monday or so? This weekend I'm going on vacation and I'm not sure if my destination has internet access. Thanks.

Whether or not we hear much from your crew/settlers, RoyalBank is up to you. I plan on using the XO or second in command, an adjutant if you will, as my primary character. He will portray the ideas/intent of the captain (like the warrior-kings Achilles and Odysseus) and act as a liaison between the captain and the crew. This will lead to the development of a few characters among the 'common' people.

Ravea, I like your idea for the mystical hermit. Every ancient story can use one of those. A archetypical combination of the Oracle, Muse, anti-materialist, practical, shaman.

Czardas, Monday seems fine to me. It gives us the weekend to start developing our characters and story ideas.

Once you all have some basic ideas for your main characters and their motivations, as well as any plot ideas, if you could post it here before we get into the actual rp that would be awesome. This is really starting to... *consulting thesaurus*... congeal...? (I think I already said that it was coming together nicely, I needed a synonym, give me a break)

I do want to basically come up with my own char., but some direction regarding the story, etc., would be helpful. Like Ravea: Somebody, is who I'm thinking of right now. What do you think?

Hey Hyper,
sure we have got room for one more. Well see what the others think, but it seems to me that we could use a greek who was a religious leader, or spokesman for a sub-group or something along those lines. Someone who will keep in mind that the hostile natives are humans too, someone who will exert a seperate pull in a slightly different direction than the captains. See what you can some up from that very basic skeleton.

Hyper,
that sounds good to me. If you could, maybe you could incorporate the goddess Feronia/Libertas into it, and possibly even Athena. Feronia is held dear by my people; it is likely that she later became the goddess Libertas of the Romans. And mixed into just about any goddess, it seems, is at least a hint of Athena. So sure, you could be a priestess of Feronia (we could even have come from the city that bore her name - even if it was Etruscan and not greek). Your portrayal wouldn't have to be actually historically accurate, just enough to explain, somewhat, why my people hold personal freedom and liberty so dear. What do you think?

Hey everyone, just checking in (and bumping). I've already started developing my characters and everything. As a note, the Czardaians worship a different god, so there will be some religious tension at least... and just wondering, is this planned to lead to a war/battle?

The Czardaians start out in their own land, get lost at sea, and make their way to another land (where the Greeks may or may not have already landed), that being the 'setup' for my characters.

Looking for authentic name ideas for the early Dionicans? Here's a list of Etruscan names (http://www.mysteriousetruscans.com/names.html) - I think that we'll be originating from one of the Etruscan towns. Possibly two seperate ones two explain the two ships and captains. I would suggest Capena and Feronia. Whichever is from Feronia will carry Hype's character as she would come from the temple there at the base of Mt. Soracte.

ps If you fiddle with the names, I'd rather they be Hellenized than Latinized. I'm not going for Roman here.

Hmm, that's a good question. Since I want to avoid tieing down my actual location by absolutely identifying the natives, try to pick something that isn't blatantly belonging to one culture. Vaguely medeterrianean. Just nothing like Cheif Killer Bear, or Manu Pradesh, or whatever. Once again, free hand Maniaca.

Also could you play them so as not to necessarily force a battle. If one ends up happening, that's fine, but I don't want it to be definate. The natives should be mollifiable if we find the right actions to take with them.

No, the RP hasn't started yet. The thread, Dionica, a new nation arises is my introductory thread and has been going for about a week and a half now. I'm on just about a twelve hour difference or so from most people, seeing as how I am in Japan.

Hype, as far as Feronia goes, there really isn't that much information about her to be found. I don't know why the first link I sent you didn't yield any information. But in any case shoot for a sort of all-combined mother goddess with the particular focus on liberty and the market. She was also known as being something of a nature goddess and was often represented with wolves. Also, she is thought by some to be the Etruscan/Sabine version of Persephone. Please feel free to mold her as you would like within the general confines that I want. Beyond that is up to you. Her followers supposedly walked over hot coals to show devotion. There are a lot of little disjointed snippets about her, and she seems to be related to quite a few of the major goddesses of the ancient mediterranien religions. Pick and choose. I leave her to you.

My next order of buisness after this post is to get the initial post up for the RP thread. I think I'll call it, An historical tale of Dionica.
Czardas
20-06-2005, 13:56
My characters are slaves escaping from an oppressive Empire. Anyone want to RP an Imperial guard coalition tracking us down?

Also my characters have non-Mediterranean names (e.g. first names such as 'Kandarin' or 'Shev'uan'), since the Czardaians are ultimately descended from a mix of a nomadic Germanic tribe and a nomadic Oriental one. More information is to be added to my wiki page (link in the siggy).

[ooc:]That shouldn't pose any problems. After all germany isn't that far from italy, where my guys are starting from. I see RP as a rope of twine that is being made. At the bottom, the start, where we are, there are many semingly unrelated threads. as we move up towards the hook that all the threads are attached to, the turning of the hook brings the threads closer until they touch and then are entwined. (twine -> entwined, huh? good use of my vocabulary for a self-reinforcing simile or what) Anyways, I'm posting some little snippets of background. You guys post your backgrounds, and then we'll chronologically be pulled inexorably together. Sheesh. Enough with the imagery already.

So, my first post might seem a bit irrelevant. But they are about to make an expedition on which they end up getting stuck. I plan on whizzing through the sea voyage once we actually leave. RoyalBank, please jump in and do some workup before leaveing for your guys, if you want.

Hostile Natives can be doing their normal hostile-native-without-foreign-devils-invading-us routine. Everybody can post some stuff. It doens't have to relate yet. It will later.

All I've done is make a similar introductory post. Dionica, would the Greeks welcome the Czardaians or try to drive them away? And who gets there first?

(I'm RPing both the Czardaians and an Imperial group following them.)

Ok! Great! We've started it up!

I've made my introductory post, but I'm waiting for a few more people to post before continuing. I'm assuming that both our posts are occuring around the same time (early morning).

Ok, sorry I've been absent for the past day and a half. I just had a ridiculous amount of work drop down on my head, and I didn't even get a chance to sit in front of my computer, let alone write anything. I'll probably be a little slow posting until the end of next week, but I'll stil get some material out.

Czardas, I think that your slaves should get 'there', wherever it happens to be, first. Then they can hear of our arrival. And then the imperials could come a little later and start asking us questions. As a rule, the Dionicans will welcome the escaped slaves - especially those who are devout followers of Feronia.

As for time, I'm not to worried about it. Fluid time, baby! As long as we co-ordinate the time once the seperate strands of our story come together it should be fine.

So far I am super pleased with how this is going. Pretty exciting to see others writing my history with me. Awesome.

The Imperials (as the post shows) worship a god named Hatsun, and are extremely warlike defenders of their god. They may be hostile to you, but then they may not. Their primary enemies are my slaves.

I'll continue later.

So Feronia would be the goddess the Feronians. gotcha! I will move with you then, since I wouldn't have any reason to be on a voyage unless asked. :)

Haven't you ever heard of the ship's chaplain? ;)

Hi guys,

Ok, sorry I've been absent for the past two weeks. My life has been unbelieveably busy, and I haven't had time for anything. In anycase, my schedule has lightened up again, and I plan, as long as you are still up for it, to continue the RP as planned.

Unfortunately, Hyper's left the forums, so we'll have to do without her help for now. However, do post in the RP, if it still exists. I haven't been there for about a week.

P.S. Are you a boy or a girl?

Okay,

EE, I got your telegram. The RP is still up. I'll post on it tonight my time, which is just about a 12 hour flipflop from US time.

Czardas, before I answer, I curious to know what you suspect. I remember back in highschool english we had a lecture one day about the myth that writing style can identify the author's gender. The idea of the class was that it didn't. Let's put it to the test...

I can't seem to recognize it by the style, as there's only one post to work with. :confused:

Btw, you don't really have to tell me, I'm just wondering. (Partly because Hype called you a "she" and I'm interested to know if she was right, and partly because I like to know who I RP with.)

Czardas,

It's no problem, I was just curious what the perception out there might be. I am male, as it turns out. I find myself assuming others are also male initially, until I get a feeling that they might be female, but I've been wrong often enough both ways.

Also, just in case you guys were wondering, I have a crazy schedule because I am in the military, and that is why I had my earlier absence. Anyways... time to start working on my post, a day or two late, once again. Sorry.

Oh yeah, can you guys clean up the thread on the RP? I isn't a big deal, but it reads easier and looks much nicer without all of the [ooc] posts.

[ooc:] Hype has said that she's leaving NS altogether. While I suspect that she may return under a puppet... we're kind of lost without her. Should we go on?

((I'll also send Dionica a TG.))
Dionica
12-08-2005, 17:13
Yes, we should definately go on!

I've already got someone to assume her character, so there should be no noticable difference, although that sounds kind of harsh when I put it like that. I'm waiting for royal bank to post so I can continue to drive the story. It isn't dead, it's just been dormant for a while.
