I saw this Rp at Logamation.com (http://www.logamation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=842&start=0)
And i thought it would be interesting to see it played out here in NS
(i hope this isn't against the rules or anything)
So without further ado....

//WASTELAND - A POST-APOCALYPTIC ROLE PLAYING GAME.//
____________________________________________________

//THE YEAR IS 2067, THE EARTH A ROTTING HUSK OF HER FORMER SELF. THE VERY DIRT ITSELF HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH GASES AND POISONS, TURNING THE ONCE LUSH LANDSCAPES OF THE PLANET INTO DECAY AND BLIGHT. THE REASON? NO, NOT A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST, NOT A METEOR. A PROBLEM THAT WE, HUMANS, HAVE INFLICTED UPON OURSELVES. WHAT IS IT THEN? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE:

POLLUTION.

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGE, WE HAVE MINED COAL, BURNT FUELS, AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE ATTEMPTS AT ALTERNATE SOURCES, NONE OF THEM WERE TRULY SUCCESSFUL. CARS, FACTORIES, HOUSES. THE CONTINUED OVERUSE SOON LED TO ONE ULTIMUM, GLOBAL TOXICITY. WE, AS HUMANS, NEVER REALISED AMONG THE CHANGES. HUNDREDS OF SMALL TOWNS, SMALL CITIES, SUCCUMBING TO 'MYSTERIOUS DEATHS' WHICH SOON LEAD BACK TO THE WATER THEY DRANK. BY THE TIME WE FIGURED IT OUT. BY THE TIME WE TRIED FIXING OUR MISTAKES, IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE. FOR YOU CAN NEVER UNDO MISTAKES. NATURAL RESOURCES ARE GONE, AS THE REMAINS OF HUMANITY RETREATED BEHIND LARGE STRUCTURES KNOWN AS 'CELLS'. MASSIVE BLOCKS OF STEEL AND GLASS MADE TO PROTECT THOSE INSIDE FROM THE FUMES, EQUIPPED WITH AIR FILTERS, WATER PURIFIERS, THINGS TO SUSTAIN THOSE STILL REMAINING, AND ONLY THOSE EQUIPPED WITH GAS MASKS AND PROPER SUITS COULD VENTURE OUTSIDE. IT WAS QUIET FOR A TIME, BUT A TEAM OF EXPLORERS SOON DISCOVERED A NEW NATURAL SUBSTANCE, A MINERAL THAT DEVELOPED UNDER THE HARSH CONDITIONS OF THE NEW WORLD. A SUBSTANCE THAT COULD FILL THE ROLE OF EVERYTHING, REACTIONS TO CHEMICALS WOULD MAKE THE MINERALS AN EQUIVALENT OF PAPER, OR PLASTIC, EVEN STEEL, EVEN DIAMOND. RESEARCHERS PROMISED TO ONLY USE THIS SUBSTANCE, THIS POLLUNITE, TO HELP REPAIR THE SITUATION THE HUMANS WERE IN, TO HELP COPE WITH THE ENVIROMENT. BUT, NO.

NO.

IT WAS OF HUMAN NATURE, SOON AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF THE VERSATILE SUBSTANCE IT WAS A RACE TO POWER, TO HOARD, TO OWN THE VALUBLE DEPOSITS OF THE POLLUNITE. PEOPLE FIGHTING OVER IT, BEFORE THE WORLD BROKE APART ONCE MORE. FACTIONS, SPLINTERS, LONERS. ALL STRETCHED ACROSS THE GLOBE TO CONTROL MINERAL. A NEW BATTLE HAS BEGUN. A BATTLE WHERE EVERYONE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

//RULES//

1. Only join this RP if you're actually serious about playing it.
2. I'm only allowing two characters. You can make as many support characters as you need.
3. Timescaling is not allowed, it gets confusing and some times messes other peoples' narratives up.
4. Make things believable.
5. As the sort of Gamemaster, I'm calling the shots, I will try be equal and fair to everyone.
6. Everything out of character should be marked with "OOC:".
7. Be realistic when making characters.
8. No godmodding. You're not MacGuyver. You won't defeat a tank with an elastic and two pins,
9. No controlling other peoples characters. You may do minor things with them with permission (Make them talk, or something), but no more, like influencing them to do something like kill themselves or something like that.


10.Only 4 mega corporations are allowed in this RP
