NationStates Jolt Archive

Based off a RP from back in 2007 - http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=545625 - we're looking at starting a new one. We're lookin at having some of the other RP'ers from the original one join us and help us get it setup.

Essentially, we're having a group of people who have no connection with each other previously from various nations get time-warped together to another time in the past. Last time was similar to ancient-Egypt.

If you're interested in signing up/joining, post and feel free to give some ideas on times/locations, etc.

I say start in Rome this time...change things up a bit.

Feudal Japan!

Oh, you didn't mean, "Places I'd rather be..." did you? O_o

Sounds fun, Ancient Rome would be nice, I'd suggest right around when the republic falls and the empire/civil wars start...

Why not, I don't know, Stabiae, around, say, August 22nd-23rd, 79 AD? Might be quite interesting. Meet Pliny the Elder.

I'm so in. Ancient Rome sounds good to me.

I think I came up with an interesting concept last time of there being a massive network of gateways in space and time that randomly crop up across the place, which a hyper-secret government organisation of mine were beginning to exploit.

Now, what I was thinking was maybe for something similarly interesting to happen - that being that one of these portals appears in a back alley in a city in a nation sometime. Since the portals would last for minutes, that'd be enough time for a group of drunken revellers/denizens of the night/lost tourists to stumble into it, and find themselves somewhere outside Ostea, c. August 79AD. Whilst your tourists bumble around trying to work out what on earth is going on, and what they're going to do, the government agency responsible for tracking these sends a team to apprehend the people who fell through the portal and bring them back to the modern era they belong in, before they do any damage to time.

I'd do a description (if I may) of the city where the portal appears, and I'd play the people sent after you to try and get you back. Someone else (imported viZion, since he's organising this) would play the locals of the time era that you lot land in, whilst everyone else plays the characters.

A good idea for anyone? If any twists are needed, we can add complications with them trying to find their way back and forth, and thus end up going to other interesting places.

Feel free to do a description. I'm for it, anyone else agree on Alfy's idea?

May I join? If so then yes, I agree with the idea.

Ya, we're looking for people who are interested in doing this RP. :)

Well that's me!

Alright :) any thoughts/input btw?

Nothing really, I like Alfegos' idea. I can't really think of much else. Other than it sounds cool if it's right during the civil wars in Rome.

Sounds good :)

I'll get an introduction post up for all you people then - I'll take the courtesy of having the place the portal cropped up as being a coastal city resort, with a fifteen minute window for your drunken revellers/lost tourists/shady characters/denizens of the night to fall into the portal.

It's up!
