I agree with "A concerned wastelander". Try to seek "Gray Rock Village project" it was pretty good till some time.
As for registering wrong guys, contact antiPK groups of players (if there are still somebody), i think they would be glad to help.
As for my experience real role-play is nearly impossible in such environments. There are small roleplay server (currently 15-20 people online), with severally reworked gameplay mechanics, bunch of game-masters watching players, but it is still hard to maintain "pure rp" even there.
Since there are interested people i ll tell how it worked out, maybe something will be useful for others.
A little inroduction.
World based on alternative history, where almost all civilized towns fell due some circumstances, and there is small town-survivor.
So it is one main town - Modoc (custom map - town surrounded by fence like very huge outpost) and one main "dungeon" - Fort (several custom maps - ruins and underground filled with various mobs with small outpost nearby).
Main storyline is surviving in harsh environments.
Every player character have his/her own history-biography-style at game forum to which his play should adhere.
Low tech equipment - metal armor and hunting rifle - top, with widely use of custom home-made weapons and ammo.
Unknown people - you dont see nicks of other players, instead that you should manually name others.
And i almost forgot, there is only one life in game, no replications, death is final.
Since start there was given full freedom to players to organize any style of play they want, that is how slow evolution of social life in Modoc started.
Main plots (all events are real and had place):
1) Of couse first thing to come was struggle to rule Modoc.
Of couse it was not in way like town control here, but only virtualy - one who hold power
First was "labor union" - group of players working for sake of Modoc, it was like 6-10 people led by Bob - old black tough guy. There were different events about fortification Modoc and various social conflicts. Later Bob was killed by his friend, Joe - sapper who was suffering insanity due wrong cured desert fever.
After shocking death of leader labor union was scattered several people wanted to be new leader. They all were trying to collect more loyal mens then others, any possible way including bribing and threats.
That moment one tough mercenary arrived to Modoc. Only thing Soup wanted was money, and so candidates begun to hire him to eliminate each other.
It could result in bloodbath, but unexpectedly Modoc was under sige of raiders band. Only right solution Modoc habitants had was to elect Soup as sheriff and let him organize protection. Due combat experienced mercenary raiders were defeated and Soup to his amusement appeared to be ruler of town.
But to be power figure is dangerous and Soup ruled very short time. Combat training haven't saved him from well placed bomb and so another period of anarchy started.
Next one to gain control of town life was Diego - ex sheriff of town far to south. His rule could be described like "suspicious guy is dead guy", surprisingly enough but townsfolk accepted him gladly. This time big boss lasted much longer, maybe because of paranoia or he just was lucky. He formed some sort of police, first well equiped and organised group with strict codex.
NCR deserters, so it is discribe next rullers of Modoc. Militia of Modoc who mostly havn't seen anyting stronger hunting rifle were oppresed by bad-ass armored trained soldiers carrying heavy weaponry. That was natural tyranny.
----[to continued]---
I ll continue bit later if you want, its like i described only small aspect of events, NCR deserters were like 6 months ago, and i ll desribe other plots like epidemy, rebels in fort, mutants and so
If you want me to write about something particular ask here or due pm. Since our roleplay server only russian if someone will start something like that or just curious, i would like to share expirience.
