RPG Requests

[C S]

Jesus christ NO

I thought we established that an animal RPG with extinct creatures isnt enough to make an interesting RPG and will DIE

We have ISS and ARPG. Combining them would be stupid imo

[The Kingpin]

CS, agression isn't welcome here. i suggest you watch your tone from now on...unless of course you don't care about consequences...


now, Raptor, let me discuss each of your points directly.


1,2) ISS is a Dino RPG, but includes almost everything pre-Mesozoic. anything from the Dinosaur era and before is allowed. what came after was prevented, simply because it'd kill the theme. afterall, the Super Mammals of the post-Mesozoic era were in essence, just bigger versions of what we have today.

3)contrary to popular belief, there ARE Herbivore characters in ISS. admittedly, not many, because in most cases, the option to hunt actually gives players more to do when bored. if you can't think of anything more fun to do, you hunt. describe the hunt, what the target was, how it was lured out of it's group, how it was chased, where it went, what happened, how it was caught, and how it was killed. etc etc etc. with herbivores, you basically roam and munch on plants. so RPing with a herbivore is more difficult, as it depends more thoroughly on a good character background story to make it an interesting character to RP and interact with.


4) well, there isthe Animal RPG, or ARPG, which deals with all modern animals, bird, insect, mammal, reptile, whatever, with the exception of polar animals because their climate requirements are too specific for them to live comfortably elsewhere. there's also the Warriors RPG, aka WRPG, though that's been dead due to lack of ideas and interest for a while.



as for your guesses on Criticism, let me deal with them as well.

1) very good point and it perfectly sums up the pointlessness of ANOTHER animal-based RPG.

2,3)Paradoxes don't exist regardless, for one simple reason. each RPG exists in a different universe. a different timeline, disconnected from all others of it's type. take ISS for example, it doesn't follow the JP timeline. it's actually several decades off in both directions, and has a very different background story going on in the human world at the time the Dinos exist. hence why NYC is currently an empty wasteland crawling with the Dinos, whereas in the JP timeline, that would be very unlikely...


4) depending on RPG, such interactions may or may not be allowed, depending. in ISS, and ARPG, and animal RPGs in general, human interaction is kept to a minimal. plot-related only, IF that. that's done to both prevent the humans from ripping the characters to shreds and vice versa [as we've all seen happen in ISS whenever a human plot comes along]


I hope these help clarify things for you...

[raptor33]

well, on the point of ARPG, in my opinion, since ISS, not ARPG is the best ever made. If it's extinct, it has my full attention. If it's extant, I don't give a damn.

Plus, extinct animals get much more freedom bcause most of them can co-exist outside of their respective habitats. Mammoths (Columbian Mammoth) can live perfectly in Wyoming, for instance, which is quite a good place for most of the exticnt megafauna. And you say that they are mostly just giant versions of what we have today. Do we have ground sloths? No. Do we have anything with saber teeth? No. Do we have giant killer pigs? No. Do we have a hoofed carnivore? No. You can say it all you like, but I'll just come up with more reasons.

And, if this is not accepted, I'll just make it single writter fiction. Either way, I will get what I want... why do you think I didn't bother to request Doom Island? (actually, that was Tyrannus Titanus' PMs.) Case. In. Point.


oh, and that thing with "JESUS CHRIST NO" sort of hurt. Watch that around me, I'm Catholic (a kind of Christianity).



Wait, did you just say WRPG?!?!? I've been looking for one of those since last year!

[The Kingpin]

the common term Megafauna basically proves my point. things were larger back then. even the Ground Sloth, though it has no modern equivelent, was much larger than it's tree-bound bretheren now. Mammoths were the larger, burlier, more interesting ancestors of the modern Elephant. Smilodon was a prehistoric relative to modern felines like cats, lions, tigers and so on. as for killer pigs...i wouldn't call a modern day wild boar harmless, though it is true that it's prehistoric counterpart was likely much more dangerous.

i'm fairly certain that everyone here knows what Catholicism is, so i don't think there's any reason to point it out. CS's behaviour will be dealt with by staff. member intervention isn't needed. easiest way to defuse a problem is to stop replying to it. keeps it from getting worse, so if you don't mind, let us handle this.


and yes. WRPG. it's here, but more or less dead, seeing as people have more or less exhausted options for plot ideas both on a member exclusive and RPG-Wide basis...


also, i fail to see how a Prehistoric mammal RPG could be turned into a Single Writer fiction, unless you're thinking of a more serious version of the Ice Age series . in any case, good luck with that. and who knows. nobody's on yet. you may yet get votes for it [doubtful, but possible]...

[TyrannoTitan]

My vote would be..no. I've stated my reasons for not liking a prehistoric RPG about 7 times in the past, considering that's how many times its been requested.

[Alpha]

I would like to suggest a Final Fantasy RPG.

[Doc 42]

Summary, quick like bunny rabbit, Alpha. Your going to have to win us over on why a final fantasy rpg would be a good idea. I'm in a good enough mood, inspire me!

[Alpha]

Well, you would have to get a basic info of the FF VII universe as it's the most known and the biggest. There is a link here http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Compilation_of_Final_Fantasy_VII.

The roleplay could pick up from the end of Dirge Of Cerberus. A new threat appears and creates anomalies across the planet, People could be heroes, villains and maybe moderately strong monsters.

The heroes would try to discover what is going with the planet, the villains would try to stop them and destroy/conquer the planet and the monsters, well they would be monsters.

[Godzilla Forever]

I like it. I really do. It's pretty original. I'm going to wait a bit to vote, but so far, I like that idea.

[raptor33]

I vote aye for the Final Fantasy rpg. I would have liked a Kingdom Hearts better, but beggers can't be choosers.

Isn't FF VII were Sephiroth is from? He's awesome...

But, seeing since my only reasons for voting at all are: I like Sephiroth, and I like KH, which uses many FF characters from random FF games, mostly FF VII, one intance of FF X2.

[Godzilla Forever]

I vote for it too. It sounds cool.

[Giratina93]

hmmm... I'm probably not gonig to be partaking in it (Snce I have never played the Final Fantasy games), but it sounds intresting. It gets my vote.

CURSE YOU, SEPHIROTH!

[Alpha]

hmmm... I'm probably not gonig to be partaking in it (Snce I have never played the Final Fantasy games), but it sounds intresting. It gets my vote.

CURSE YOU, SEPHIROTH!

Sephiroth: I thought of a wonderful present for you G, shall I give you despair?.

[TyrannoTitan]

Uh, guys? You have to be willing to participate to actually have a vote toward it. You can't just have 3 other people vote yes, and only the maker of the RPG actually RPing.

Then it needs staff approval...my vote would be no, unfortunately. Things that are based on a specific series/movie/book/game whatever are always too limited, even in something as broad as Final Fantasy.

[Doc 42]

Right, Alpha, when I said inspire me, I meant convince me why it would be fun to RP in. Saying "It's final fantasy. as an rpg" isn't really rallying the troops. A link to a wiki isn't anything either.

[The Kingpin]

My vote for it, at the moment, is in the neutral area, but swiftly drifting to negative. i won't agree or disagree with it yet, but honestly, i don't see much potential. Final Fantasy is broad in one way, but limited in others. for example, despite the enormous amount of creatures and varying ranks and forms of said creatures, they typically are born from one source, and have one goal. in addition to that, the mechanics of many things in the FF world are complex and require prior knowledge just to be able to keep track of what was going on, especially seeing as this would be a text RPG and not a 3D game, meaning many things depend on your imagination, and therefore, may appear differently from player to player. not very helpful with things as precise as how magic works and how creatures apply their abilities. also there's the issue of characters. most people interested in FF are biased towards certain characters, and would likely try to imitate them, intentionally or otherwise [i wouldn't count myself an angel in that department either. SEW would be a good example of that little problem]. and even the ones with completely unique characters may end up, for example, setting themselves up with combinations of abilities that would border on god modding, even though technically it would be possible. and these are just some examples of issues that would appear if an FFRPG were to be made. so yeah. in order to convince me it's a good idea, you'll need to explain more than simply "It's a Final Fantasy RPG". like Doc said, Convince me...

[Godzilla Forever]

You know, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I'd be able to participate in it so much....... Still, it'd be interesting, to say the least.

[Alpha]

Yeah, thinking about it, it doesn't look like a good idea. Maybe I could do an E-war but idk. That's up to you.

[raptor33]

hmmm... I'm probably not gonig to be partaking in it (Snce I have never played the Final Fantasy games), but it sounds intresting. It gets my vote.

CURSE YOU, SEPHIROTH!

I thought that was my post... I coulkd have sworn I said that.

about my request for a Prehistoric Beast RPG? ignore that. Maybe I can get it through the E-War section because there is no prehistoric animal ewar.

Sorry to double post.

[TyrannoTitan]

There's an edit button for a reason.

Use it.
