Colonial RP Interest/Sign-Up Thread

Well, I was playing Age of Empires III and kicking ass with my Imperial Redcoats, and thought it would be a fun idea to have a colonial style RP with the good people of the I.I community.

Situated in the New World(Great Lakes, Thirteen Colonies, St. Laurence mainly), with the two main European powers of the period(England and France) fighting over the terrain. There will also be native americans that you can trade with and form alliances with, or fight and wipe out, raping and pillaging their villages and destroying their nomadic way of life.

Each player will choose which nation they want to be(England, France, Native) and pick a home city. There can be two English players and two French players, and unlimited Native American players. The European people will be confined to the cities they control, but the natives, being nomads, may roam freely and do as they wish. Also, there will be a few American Revolutionary peoples, who will mainly have settlements in the Thirteen colonies, and will also be confined to their cities.

Rules:

1. The typical rule of no god-modding, pretty standard

2. Use only technology from this time period and those that would be associated with your civilisation

3. Follow the rules

4. Have fun or else...*shakes fist*

[NS::]Reallydrunk
10-03-2006, 16:19
Native Americans(Iroquois) please
Taralkea
10-03-2006, 23:32
So I cannot be the Aztecs? Wich is odd since the Aztecs are my favorite Native Americans to ally with in this game, this is about Age of Empires III right?
Taledonia
11-03-2006, 00:24
No, it's not about the game, I just got the idea from the game, and the Aztecs were in Central and South America, not North America, so sorry. But Reallydrunk, you can be an iroquois settlement sure.
Taralkea
11-03-2006, 00:32
Okay, good enough for me, I'm not as used to the Iriqois, but itt'l work, by the way are we restricted to those fifty man armies, or can we make them bigger?

May I be the Amercan's in Boston
Taledonia
11-03-2006, 20:20
It's not really during the Revolution, because the French and English are still fighting each other, with indians in there too, so that would make it pre-Revolution, but I wanted to add Americans in for more players, so I guess all American players would be Revolutionaries.
Ebedron
12-03-2006, 14:50
so this is like the french-indian war kinda time. can i be the british in the 13 colonies? or new york? boston? philidelphia?

Ebedron is right, Washington was founded in 1790, well after the revolution. So if you could, change me to New York or something along those lines.
Ebedron
13-03-2006, 00:41
fran how bout you be philidelphia and ill be new york, ight?
Taledonia

This isn't suppose to be exact history guys, just a colonial RP using some real life elements. I'm keeping it how it is, so nananana boo boo!
The Keltoi Tribe
13-03-2006, 11:24
Franberry, just be "the south" or something as there are no major cities that way.

thats so obnoxious. if you are going to make an RP you should make it accurate. You should not have a Washington. make other cities so we can choose from. Make like a New Orleans for the french and add more places.
Taralkea
13-03-2006, 23:41
I agree, but this is soposed to be kept in new england, or have the rules changed?

I'm with ya on that one.
Taledonia
15-03-2006, 02:55
Ain't changing it, because if we make it too close to RL, then people will be all like "OMG!!!ZORSZORS!!YOU STUPID N00B!!! AMERICA PWNED BRITIAN SO I WINS OH LOL LOL ZORS!!!!!!" Plus Ebedron, you just want to be Americans, but both slots are filled and if I have more Americans then they have the advantage. It's three teams(Brits, French, and Americans) with natives and we just make up our own little colonial tech RP.

If I could get one more French player and another native tribe(not Iroquois, hopefully another tribe please), then I'll start it.

Can I play? I wouldn't mind being the Spanish of Portugese

I think we're only doing colonies in North America, but i guess the spanish could get away with northen mexico or something
Kulikovo

Oh, with colonies? Then I'll take Pennsylvania.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 03:40
Welcome Kulikovo. Hows it going with Lehana?
Kulikovo
15-03-2006, 03:43
It goes just fine. I think it's a nice change from the typical rp.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 03:44
I think the Americans are all tooken up. I beleive ther is only one slot for each French and Native Americans. Go Natives!
Kulikovo
15-03-2006, 03:46
I guess I'll be French.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 03:46
It goes just fine. I think it's a nice change from the typical rp.
For real, though I wouldnt know, the only Rps Ive participated in is this and Lehana seeking a husband, good luck on that!
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 03:47
Now all we need is more natives to be with me and the drunk guy.
Kulikovo
15-03-2006, 03:48
You can still participate in the other thread.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 03:55
Who ever said I wasn't? Can't a guy have good sportsmanship?
Kulikovo

You're right.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 03:56
And now we wait.
Kulikovo

(Not like you stand a chance anyways, my character is too damn good. Not to mention he';s well developed as a character.)

*Evil laugh*
Kulikovo
15-03-2006, 04:06
I'm just kidding.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 04:07
ROFLMAO.
Your right, but that wasn't what I had I had in mind anyway. What I was planning to do was keep other suiters out of your way. So don't be alarmed when Tesk shows up with a dagger. Remember, keep this to yourself. If you tell Lehana, my dagger might just happen to find other amusements. Now it is my turn to laugh, Muwahahaha. HA
Naktan
15-03-2006, 04:07
I'll play Quebec, if it's still open...
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 04:09

Sorry bud but I think Kulikovo took the last French. The only open slot is Natives.
[NS::]Reallydrunk

It's probably between Germans and Ottomans. Though you've gotta love the Portugese organ guns.
Kulikovo

Yep, can't argue there. Line up a couple of those babies and just mow down the enemy.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 04:24
You ever get 25 Imperal Organ guns?
Kulikovo
15-03-2006, 04:25
Nope, but it sounds dangerous...to the enemy.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 04:30
That it is, but I kinda wasted the money since it was one of times when your army is barely tooken out and the enemy only had a few buildings in hiding.
You know what I mean?
Kulikovo
15-03-2006, 04:30
I sure do.
Taralkea
15-03-2006, 04:34

Could we please cease all the chatter about things irrelevant to the RP so as not to clutter up this thread?

Thank you.

if you made more playable roles, more people would come and join(like me) but you have to few.

Your the French, I think, Ebedron. Plus there are still many native positions available.

I would like to play Mahicans/Mohicans of the Hudson valley, if no more Iroquois tribes are allowed. However, I would like to play them as they were before beeing converted to christianity as that allows much greater freedom in making desicions of with whom to side with, and is also much cooler.

Also, I would like to know how are the Iroquis beeing played. Are they allied, if are, how loosely, and what tribes do those 2 Iroquis players we have actually play? Seneca, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Mohawks? And what is the role of the others that aren't played by anyone - do these 2 controll them too, or don't they just exist in this RP? I don't want to sound like a nitpicker, even though I am one :rolleyes: , but this information is quite vital for the game - the Iroquois alliance was easily the strongest force amongst the factions in the East coast of the continent.

Personally, I would like to play independent Mohawks rather than Mahicans, but they will do all the same if you don't want to see more Iroquis'.
[NS::]Reallydrunk
16-03-2006, 22:34
I would like to Rp the Mohawk if possible...
Taledonia
17-03-2006, 00:29
Yeah, I'm not changing it, if you want to fight somebody, move your ass up into Canada. The objective isn't for you to just gain your little independance and sit there happily waiting for others to come try and take it, you must invade others, this isn't suppose to be historical, I just used the people and lands from the time era.

And no, none of the native tribes are allied with anybody at the moment, the only people allied together are the civilised people, who are allied with their countrymen(ex: Brits with Brits).
[NS::]Reallydrunk
17-03-2006, 00:36
o0o ok, so we have to encounter other tribes and make alliances, i see. I was just stating the nation to which my Iroquis belong..they are of the Mohawk nation.

Will the britt's and french be making alliances with indians? if so i will be making diplomacy with the brittish ASAP :)
Taralkea
17-03-2006, 00:57
I don't get it, brits can ally with brits, but iriqous cant ally with iriqous
[NS::]Reallydrunk
17-03-2006, 01:16
I will need a good white allie :) i will be the master of ambushes and the brittish red coated regulars will take control of the feild...that is if they want my friendship...
Taledonia
17-03-2006, 04:30
No no, you can ally with whoever you want during the game, but just at the start all native nations start neutral to everyone.

Well so much about the so-called realism then. The only reason Iroquis were as strong as they were is the fact they were a coalition of 5 tribes, each about as strong as the other mentioned tribes in this game, Mohicans, Tomahawks etc. But if that's how you want it, then so be it.

So. Reallydrunk has the Mohawks? I have to do with the Mohicans then?
