Wouldn't it be awesome to have another Roleplay Project?
NCR army seems like it would've been awesome (sad I missed out on it).
Post your thoughts and possible ideas for a new one here.
-
I'm being serious, don't come up with stupid ideas like that >_>
-
might have helped if you posted one of your own to get things rolling or at least be discussed if nobody else posts up an idea.
-
Still working on an idea, but I plan to come up with a relatively good idea :P

Just take another town :)
Like Klamath or Modoc as RP place and you will see what happens ;)
-
Players need more content and more game mechanics to implement their RP projects and i think NCR military camp was a first try. Let's hope domination mod will solve this out.
-
i have a serious idea, lets all go to ncr and kill random people in there so they could understand its a shithole and live in other towns. Do good service for fonline community.

U are fuckin retarted man, and u ur bitching about vc and ncr.

You name the town, ill probably go to the town.
And also this might be better suited to the events section.

Roleplay is about the way you play your character, it doesnt have to be a project. There is so few roleplayers in this game, it is hard to find enough to start a roleplay project, if not impossible. That said, if you want to start something, i will try to help.
How about a cult living in an old bunker, praying there god en carrying out is orders?
A group of illuminati trying to build a new world order in secrecy.
A mining company with is guards, miners and administrators.
A group of tribals (maybe even cannibals) that hardly speak and understand English, having there own language.
Some aliens of human appearance (or humans thinking they are aliens) trying to conquer earth!
If you think about something more mainstream, just be sure to give it some flavor, there are plenty of raider and civilized (often called Anti-PK) gangs.

Well, I had 2 ideas to start off, thinking about a possible third.
first one is about a small civilization of people that have been living inside of an abandoned tunnel network for hundreds of years, learning the ways of mining and crafting items from the rock. As they discovered the long forgotten path to the surface, they have to learn to deal with the sun (all characters will have the night person trait) and how to deal with the surface dwellers. (It's different from emerging frmo a vault because they have been sustaining themselves on their own in a mine, while vault dwellers lived in their comfortable living quarters)
second one is about a group of cultists who worship the "mystical" properties of laser weapons and plasma, and how they believe it's the harvested energy of their deity, a form of electrical current that is a sentient being that lives in all forms of energy. They belive the enclave are the followers of a "rival deity" that is only trying to obtain energy weapons to destroy them. seeing as how they believe it's the harvested energy of their god, the cultists objective is to reclaim and restore all forms of energy weapons and to "relieve" the enclave of their energy weapon caches.
Oh, and you're right, it doesn't HAVE to be a project, but it's a lot more fun when it is, because it's more organized and set up then a play run RP.

No. I am the scum of NCR.

There are the Slags in the Ghostfarm Northeast of Modoc.
-
It's a bit more different then them but I did completely forget about them xD
-
I am interested in a roleplay project as well and will help out with any that you have.
-
I'm always into any role play attempts made by players or game masters. But there's many ideas to roleplay.
For example reactivated Hub's criminal underground, Enclave, NCR Rangers, Canadian Resistance etc. Well in my opinion additional location, town occupation, GM help isn't necessary to make good role play. All what is needed is the group of people who willingly make it and keep it alive.
-
Well, if we can get a decent group of a few people, I will create one that is player based. Of course we'd probably need someone who could supply items to use.

Or just integrate getting supplies as part of your routine. Assign scavengers, crafters, doctors, hunters.
I actually think populating the Ghost Farm would be a good one - are there any other remote locations anyone can think of?
-
...are there any other remote locations anyone can think of?
No matter what remote location you use, for people to know about it, it would have to be advertised either in-game or on forum, which would make grievers/big gangs know about it, come to the place, and kill everyone. Sad, but true.
-
I'm not going to tell them via the forums, only going to send PM's when I finalize the location to use :P
Having a faction base to use would probably be the best alternative if there is someone out there who is willing to donate one :P

Playerbase of the year.

Stomping other kids sandcastles is what the real kiddos do.
I've been playing in the Ghostfarm for ages and no one noticed - you don't even need a base/tent if you use this location. You've got everything to gather there, storage room, minerals, ore etc.. So yes, as long as you don't advertise the location XY you want to do your project, it should be relatively safe.

You foooool

You foooool
He's prolly got a tent next to it to store shit so...
But yeah....
-
I don't.
Also, it was a few weeks ago, you may storm them Slaggies if you want to kill ol' Surfy, but I don't play right now.
-
Any roleplay project happening continuously in a public location, even guarded town, is bound to fail or to suffer from attacks of other players. It's not that they are griefers, it's just that destroying is part of their fun. They'll try to kill your project exactly as if you were threatening their faction, no matter what it costs to them. It's been like that for years. FOnline cannot into roleplay.
-
What about a faction base?
-

Base rapists.
-
>_>
have guards set that attack anyone who isn't part of the faction?
-

poeple who lie to get into the base as part of faction and then rape it overnight.

Instead of saying about all the shit that goes wrong, why don't you try to offer an alternative?

There is no alternative that's why I am telling you all the things that is wrong, because it won't work, and I don't wanna see you or anyone else wasting their time.
-

It's an awful lot of work for something that'll be active for maybe three weeks, then slowly fade out of existence. I think once they're fleshed out, NPC factions will be the best we'll get.

(insert here a contraried face, the one i was thinking is not in the list) YES THERE ARE POSIBILITIES.
1.- ask to some GiMy for give you protection
2.- a roleplaying project where everyone has CA and LSW while RPing (this is funny).
3.- (this is the big one, tough i will not assist to any type of event that has something to do with mercs, no matter his purpose) ask for some mercs ans slaves from the participants (20 or more), install it in the out site of a Cave Base, let everyone get into, and set they into "kill all those motherfukers on sight" and pray to te god of Role Playing for they resistance.
-
A faction base is indeed the best place to start a roleplay project, unless you can fight off or use diplomatic alliance with all major gangs and do your project in a TC town using militia.
So yes, i suggest an old bunker base, i can provide it to you. As for base rapers, you need to leave nothing of value inside the roleplay base, IT IS NOT TO BE A STORAGE BASE, use a tent near it. Also, only invite trusted players as members, others only as friends so they can be killed and wont see the base if they try to fuck up the project.

Was already tried as a "village" near NCR, some well-known faction entered it thanks to a taxi and did gridcamp it just for fun.

Sounds great until some GM resets the location because of some bug/problem and *poof* your stashes are gone.
-
You don't need so much stashes if you only play one character and don't aim to hoard tons of weapons and stuff (what for?). If the locations receives a mapregen, just craft new stuff. Don't see a problem there. But then again, it boggles my mind how people can cluster their whole bases with crap laying on ground and senselessly collecting (littering) useless items.

I doubt you asked someone from indigenous people of Ghostfarm if you can use their base as your tent ... You know, question of RP
-

did you really just ask that question? Then what's the point of crafting any stuff?

Waste more of your life away clicking on rocks and workbench sounds exciting. :P
unless, of course, your crafting nottin but tier 1 stuff.
-

Well yes, it will happen for sure, at least one time and yes it sucks. Learning to deal with thoses issues will help reduce its occurrence.
Maybe start with a cave, just to get some experience before getting a bunker or outpost. Maybe not friend all players you welcome in your base, but use a taxi to bring visitors to your base each time, so they cannot bring other players, since they dont see the location.
-
Surf likes puting his stash in Ghostfarm, eh? Recently found some guns and ammo there! ;D
-
I've never used guns there, so it seems I am not the only visitor. ;)

If items are actually used, then it's good. If it's getting collected/stashed just because, it's bad.

You are "wasting" your life by clicking on virtual pixel characters aswell. Point?
-

they are stored for later use, just because they aren't used RIGHT THEN AND THAR doesn't mean they're just gonna sit there for years. (Although this is occassionally the case)

It's alot less boring to click characters and watch they suffer some horrible death by your hand than magically create items from clicking letters and rocks.
-

Yeah, later use, an occassion which never occurs, instead the pile just gets bigger and bigger.

Killing other people etc. is just clicking on bitmaps and letters aswell. It also doesn't change the fact that it's still just wasting your time, regardless if it's crafting or "keel". Videogames are inherently time wasters, that's why they are made and played - to fill time up with entertaiment. Entertaiment is objectively experienced - if you find crafting boring, it doesn't mean that it actually is boring. lol'ed at your "watch people suffer horrible deaths" part though - how cute.

Doesn't work that way with me. I have alot of stuff but with mercenaries I find a way to use ALL of it in one way or another. :P

Time enjoyed wasting isn't time wasted at all.
(Yeah I totally ripped that from Fo:NV but fuck that was a badass line.) I guess I see your point from crafting in a logical sense, but I just don't see how it can be fun personally.

This is true , for example take a look at the WWP project , its only alive because most of the server helps them with many alliances and huge manpower support.
-
What if the area was set up like the arena outside of hub, Then people cant bring any weapons inside of it and then the GM's would have full control of who has weps and arms.
-
I got a ranger armor so I could play the Sgt or something :) Could be nice if all the guys out there that got it to meet up some place have a chat maybe a drink make some dirty jokes :)
