The First Roleplay: Planning

I'll help!

I suggest something medieval, too little of my favorite genre...

Why must we stick to just one. We certainly have enough space on the first page. Why not create two with different styles of roleplaying in each for the different types of people.

These are great plans and all, but when do you plan on getting started?

What's the fun in that?

I have a suggestion... Maybe do one where there is no backbone? You know, let people be what they want to be, where they want to be, and do what they want to do. Once someone starts, then we just do a basic improv on the storyline. We had one like that one time, it was pretty fun.

Yes, you see, crumby, the RPs here are Sporum style RPs, my friend (known here as Magmak) told me that they are quite different from the more freestyle RPs of FC. I think a freestyle one would more belong in the off topic section.

Right, I understood that, I was just throwing out suggestions.

*sigh* Madi has an obsession with roleplays, so she wants someone to pick a topic and make the thread. T____T Or let her know if she can make her own. ^-^

I concur.

I'd like someone to get on with it too.

Thank you for concurring. (Is that even a word? xD)

Um... I think so.

But really, let's get this show on the road!

Something uber-creative. If it becomes successful, it will put Creative Corner on the map. Maybe we could invent our own style, a mix of the best of both. (I dare not say "worlds" for obvious reasons. ) Off topic, I know, so I'll post my idea.

I am an epic fan of Douglas Adams, so maybe we could make a continuation of his series, the sixth book he never wrote, (Eion Colfer did that for him after his death) taking into account his style and love of Macs. (Makes me feel special, Windows users!) A posthumous action-adventure following Arthur Dent where the 5^th book left off. That would be cool.

I am the bold text.

I think that would be awesome! Although I've only read the 1^st book. I'd love to do this once I read the other four books. I'll be getting them from the library soon.

Okay, just a question. Just finished reading Mostly Harmless and I was wondering...
What is there to continue!? Last I checked, the Earth got turned into a sausage forever! I don't see what there is to continue.

Plus, the book has a lot of "foreign" words in it, if you know what I mean. That's going to be hard.

My Joo Janta 2000 goggles are darkening. I can't read your post.

Eion Colfer pulled it off, why can't we? Technically, Mostly Harmless didn't end with the destruction of the Earth, it almost ended with it. You know our good friend Wowbagger? He hasn't ridiculed Random yet. He would be very unhappy indeed if he never got the chance, and a few seconds isn't enough to produce a good, long, heart-stabbing phrase of gloom. You see where I'm going with this?

Oh, yeah, forgot about Wowbagger. Okay, this sounds plausible now.
But still, unless we have some sort of list for all those crazy words in there, it's going to be hard to make a roleplay out of it. There might be one somewhere. Just have to Google it.

... Confusion. O.o

Well, we could make one for it. Or- we also have to consider that yes, the flora, fauna, and race names are kooky (Wikipedia has lists for those but the devices are still left unknown), but most that we are likely to use (Eddie, Stephen Fry, Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, etc.) are pretty much memorized. We all know what we mean when we say the Guide, right?

Well, of course! But, you know, the two of us seem to be the only ones who have actually read the Hitchhiker's trilogy here.

I don't know... I like the idea, but I think it would be very complicated.

EDIT: Ooh, 500^th message on these forums. That's good, right?

It is a big mile marker for a community of our size.

Back on topic. Well, we need a poll. How many have read it and would be interested?

Me! Should I go make the poll in a seperate topic?

Whoever wants to run the RP.

Do I hear you volunteering? Because I'm certainly not going to do it.

You know what? Why don't we wait until we have some more active members to start this? It certainly won't be that great with only two to three people doing it.
