Role Play - The Rebellion

Subject: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 3:34 pm

As some of you may have read, there has been a suggestion for a Role Play, to follow up on the old hunger Games ODA hosted.

The general idea is that the leader of this society and Academy, a girl known as C.C., has gained a few enemies, who now seek to destroy her and gain control of the people. In response, C.C. called out for her people to help her repent these savages and keep peace in the Academy.

It will be a battle between loyalists and rebels, fighting for control over the Academy. Once you lose, your character will play no more significant role in the Role Play, but can still be continued to be played as prisoner or such.

Please make your vote in the above placed Poll, on whether you wish to participate in this Role Play, or whether you agree to going with this. the poll will be up for 2 days.

PS: Rules and details will still be agreed upon later, all of these things are just ideas. We'll make a topic where people can insert their ideas and suggestions, if the Role Play general idea gets accepted.

Not a big fan of a rebellion in the school theme.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:23 pm

Not necessarily have to be a school. Academy can mean much more then just that. besides, like I said, a lot can still change. Doesn't have to be an academy, per say.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:25 pm

You get my meaning though.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:27 pm

Edited above, but I get what you mean, yes. Lol. Edited in, that it doesn't have to be an Academy. Can be whatever we want.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:32 pm

Well, we wouldn't have to necessarily make you (or your character) be the main antagonist. I mean, you get enough of that kind of thing outside of the role-play right?

So why not make it be some new figure that's become the owner of an academy of sorts and has been redoing the inner workings, something like changing the work the students do into something that furthers his own goals at world domination or something.

Like that one episode of Doctor Who with the middle school kids who were super-geniuses.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 4:40 pm

I have no idea what that means, I don't watch Doctor Who .-. also, I'm just following the idea of Evil, with the rebellion against me. Since I've, undoubtedly, made countless enemies, it's more then clear there would be such a thing. Admittedly, I'm not that much a fan of ppl rioting against me, but this is just a Role Play. It's all just fun, nothing more. Plus I kinda like the fact that for once I'll have people backing me up .-.

But yes, it's a fine idea to make it that things are changed. It can become the part where C.C. took over the Hunger Games, and turned them into something else, either for the worse or the better, and people revolt against THAT. Brings the old things back into it as well.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 5:06 pm

Of course I'm up for it.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:05 pm

I'm pretty much there for any idea anyone formulates....

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:11 am

I only have about 3 seconds online but I usually picture ODA in RolePlay as something along the lines of the College of Winterhold in Skyrim. There are no teachers on salary or anything, it is just a collection of knowledge where duelists come together as a society to learn. The senior, more powerful duelists help incoming apprentices and such to learn. The Academy is run by the Headmaster C.C. and his league of advisors that carry specific functions and jobs. I don't picture it like YGO GX.

However, I wouldn't recommend following the "Rebellion" idea, it was just something to throw out there and show people the type of ideas I was looking for. That doesn't seem fair to Sylveraine to me. (I know this part should go in the other topic but no time) A much better idea to me would be that an artifact was found which made Monster cards actually manifest physically in duels and follow their master's bidding. Perhaps some students wanted to use this to take over the academy, all it's knowledge, and all it's power? It'd achieve the same effect in my opinion, the "Loyalists" vs. the "Rebels." There's just a different, more interesting, and more fair spin on it.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sun Sep 28, 2014 9:43 am

All right, anyone else who is up for Evil's idea? [I frankly don't care which, both sound pretty good to me]

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sun Sep 28, 2014 10:59 am

I don't care as well. Both follow the same team, which is 2 teams following their beliefs and trying to outkill the other team. Kicks in the groin better be allowed.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:20 am

I like both ideas but if I had to choose I'd prefer Evil's but I like it either way.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:27 pm

Warring over an artifact that essentially revives the shadow games...could be worse I spose.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Sun Sep 28, 2014 5:28 pm

Doesn't necessarily have to be warring over it, but possible that the essence of Pride remains in said artifact, and tries to rekindle those Shadow Games, by pitching the people up against each other. Or any dark spirit being, really.

Ah now that I like. Nice call.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Mon Sep 29, 2014 1:34 pm

Let's do it.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Tue Sep 30, 2014 12:12 am

I'm liking evil's idea better Razz

(C2 you have enough drama Razz

.)

I hope we can even out both sides...

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Tue Sep 30, 2014 8:43 am

This ain't much drama for me, tbh. Fluff, now that was a drama, lmao. But like saisd in earlier posts, it's all just RP.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Wed Oct 01, 2014 11:27 pm

I heard both Pride and Roleplay in the same sentence. I am back and better than ever. *pose*

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:21 am

I'm gonna go ahead and be unpopular here, and say I'm not a big fan of the new idea with people fighting over whether or not shadow games can happen. It just feels very much not character-driven and a huge stretch. The revolt, I wasn't all for it because I thought it'd make C.C. uncomfortable, but now that I know that's not the case, I like it better, because it's a whole lot more personal for the characters. Like, it's not just about sides with that, each character might have really unique and personal motivations for why they're loyal and why they're rebelling and there's lots of open space for subplots, especially in the area of people on the same side fighting each other. With this whole "one side wants to bring back shadow games, one wants to stop it" theme, I feel we lose that. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's still the opportunity to make your character original and interesting, but it's hard to tie into the RP itself, because without extreme character-crafting skills, it's pretty hard to make a convincing and sane character who wants to encourage bringing back competitive murder as a means for people to solve problems, and it's hard to tie in a motivation for opposing it other than, y'know, being opposed to the idea of people using said competitive murder for settling disputes, possibly with hackneyed backstory about losing a loved one to the shadows.

You feel where I'm coming from? It'd just be hard for the characters to form a meaningful connection to the plot and be unique from one another and all that jazz.

Not that there's anything wrong with other plots if dueling is already violent as it is. *coughs at prior idea in other thread about characters being of mythological descent*

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Thu Oct 02, 2014 9:45 am

You may not have had the experience of the Hunger Games, but a lot of characters had development there, even though it was just a Hunger Games variant. Pride and C.C. were the two main characters at one point, C.C. going from caring to not caring and a bit in between, Pride just being downright evil. To have those two clash again is at the very least gonna give good RP.

Pride has always been convinced, if I recall, before the whole Droite flippercast shittery, that the Shadow Games were serving a proper cause. So he went along all the time. It may be that before his defeat a part of him remained, a part that is still convinced the Shadow Games must be played out on a large scale. Which then now returns, more or less rekindling the old rivalry of Pride and C.C.. That should give you the core you need I'd say. Especially when other ex members from that return, due to the loss of the Seal. Aka, Nottu, for example.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Thu Oct 02, 2014 8:38 pm

I can develop my character more too! Don't worry! But yes. I can usually get RPGs developed well enough that character creation and plot lines aren't a problem. It usually just takes the smallest bit of effort from the character's part to try too. But if we all try enough, it could definitely work.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Thu Oct 02, 2014 11:27 pm

This would be the biggest event we've had since... the shut down that made us frown.

I think we should all lend a hand Razz

Nice to see you have returned General Pride, monster from which no man can hide.

Subject: Re: Role Play - The Rebellion Fri Oct 03, 2014 5:26 am

I did get involved in the Hunger Games, in fact, though I don't remember it well. If I recall, though, everyone who was there at least seemed to have a reason to want to be.

But, okay. I suppose if the premise is developed more than just "wants shadow games vs. doesn't want shadow games, go!" then it should turn out fine. I'm actually quite interested to see what ends up popping up.
