Okay, so you came here with an interrest in RP'ing!

But it's difficult to have a plot/story/opening that attracts everyones interrest.
What happens is stories die after a while, or you don't have any customers. OR you simply can't find an RP that interrests you.
That brought me on the following idea/plan!

An RP inquiry!

Location: (3 most preffered locations -city+country-)
1.)
2.)
3.)
Plot: (a main goal/happening/drama etc. of which around it a story is build)
Character: (3 most preffered OC's)
1.)
2.)
3.)
Rate your prefferance on scale of 1 to 10. 1 is least, 10 is most.
Amount of violence:
Amount of travel:
Amount of characters to interact with:
Amount of poweruse:
Amount of plot related issues:
Amount of drama/disagreements between 2 parties or within a party:
Amount of research:
Amount of circumstances positive:
Amount of circumstances negative:
Amount of chaos:
Amount of reliability:
Amount of life threatening situations:
Amount of side switching(good/bad):
Amount of party split ups:
Amount of private interaction between 2 characters:
Amount of secrecy:

Your preffered Role:
Heroe, Unknown or Villain?
Sidechar or Important to the plot?
Free or have the plot guide your ways?
Follower or Leader?
Helper or Help seeking?
Complicated or flexible personality?
Battle seeker or avoider?
Open or closed for bonding?
Company connections or individual?
Rich, Normal or Poor?
Powerfull, Normal or Weak? (controll of ability)
Powerfull, Normal or Weak? (status of influence on the plot, example: company leader)
Reliable or Betrayer?

Your favourite idea(s) for plot construction:
Evil Villain(s)
Companie(s) at war
Narutal disaster(s)
Instable climate
World endangered
Aliens/Martials
Space travel
Chaotic Society
World domination
Revolution
Prehistory (when writing didn't excist)
Own input(s)

In Battle preffer/would you
teamwork or alone
combine powers or separate
exterminate Allies to defeat the enemie
Do evil things to defeat the enemie
sacrifice the innocent to defeat the enemie
sacrifice your life to defeat the enemie
sacrifice your life to save the world

scenarios allowed to happen with your char.
get kidnapped/taken hostage
lose limbs

mutation
clonation
teleportation
arrestation

This is the inquiry for now, please add more to make it more complete.

Q & A
Why this inquiry??
This is an experiment attempting to bring all Rp'ers together and get to know more about eachother, and to find out if we can stop the dying of RP's, the RP(show) must go on!
Why must the RP go on?
After you finnish a plot(a season in heroes) there's room for another, you just have to get the group together, live chat would be the most appropriate for plot discussion. This way you bond with your own and other peoples characters so much more, and your fantasy and mind get more ideas to develope RP posts.
What has this inquiry got to do with RPG advertising?
Basicly by filling it out, you advertise your way of the heroes. Like this you can see what others seek in an RP, and hopefully, discuss with eachother on creating a plot together, the more RP'ers, the more fun. If you look at the series, there's a lot of characters needded to get the best out of a good plot.
What if there's a lack of participants?
This is rather obvious, the experiment would fail for it couldn't be completed. However, there's always hope for more pariticipants.
How can I participate in this experiment?
Basicly, just fill out the inquiry. Then, check out the allready filled out inquiries, to find out which ones interrest you most according to the plot you have in mind. Then, contact the people of interest, and choose a date to gather/livechat with all the people of your interrest, and their people of interests, to brainstorm about this huge plot(puzzle) created from everyones plot(pieces). Of course this is a chaotic process and all part of the experiment, for you to find out if there are more comfortable ways of completing the process.


If you have additives for the inquiry or questions, please comment or PM me, and I'll add it to this post.

I don't get this. Haha.

[rivergod808]

it's like an itinerary for a SL.
i think you fill it out and look for people with similar preferences and then work out something.
basically you plan out the SL instead of going where the story takes you.

It's a good idea, but perhaps a tad over-complicating. To be honest I don't think we're doing too bad. Sure we're not the world's most active RPG, but the storylines keep rolling and everyone seems to enjoy themselves

The concept is good though, but generally a good story keeps itself running. If it dies out, it's probably not worth it then

This is a year old. Why am I only seeing it now?
