I am bored, so RP attempt (Not sign up (yet), but suggestion/idea)
 

I am bored, and have seen this idea get shot down twice, so I shall bring it back once again.

The idea is the map idea I was going to use, then SS was going to use. Basically, I would draw up a map detailing the area that you are in, then you have to do something and stick to the map. Either it would be something like an RTS, or more of a stealth ops thing (Or both).

Not sure if I should stick with good 'ol fantasy though, or try a modern or a sci-fi with this.

Ironic, I've been thinking about something like this in a sci-fi format. If you go Sci-Fi, I would recommend looking into the Warhammer 40K universe. That's waht I was planning, and it allows everything from bugs to killer robots to psychic aliens to good ole' marine types.

A modern, gritty, city RP would be cool. Kind of a Noir RP.

I'm just a noob at this, so take what I say with a grain of virtual salt.

If I went Sci-Fi, I would avoid WH 40k at all cost. SS's RP seems unappealing to me, seeing as it sounds like a bunch of big emtionaly challenged grunts with super weapons (He mentioned a super nova in there somewhere) to blow up everything.

And I don't want to draw an entire city...

If you look into it, the WH40K universe is cooler then that, SS just seems to be a big Space Marine fan. But to each his own.

In that case then, I'll go with whatever everyone else decides on, although I would lean towards a RTS RP over a spy/sneaking type RP.

Yeah, the one I was going to do was RTS style, but I added in to many races it seems.

There could easily be a Sci-Fi RTS (StarCraft), or a fantasy one (WarCraft), but I don't think I can really do a modern RTS (That would just be something like a real war, which isn't appealing to me)

Edit - Oh, and I do not know what Noir RP is.

Should I bother with a Sign-Up thread, or just let this die like the last two?

A Noir is usually the old detective type stories. If you read Calvin and Hobbes, Tracer Bullet is a Noir spoof in a way.

As for dying, if there is no interest I guess you'll have to...

Do you control one character, or an army?

Unless he changed the idea, it's just one character. Controlling an army would be pretty cool, but hard to RP effectivly as to who is winning/losing, numbers of units, powers, etc.

That's what I thought, but RTS's usually involve armies, and therefore mass amounts of micromanagement. One of the reasons I never really got into WC and SC (online, at least, I played the single-player campaigns all the time). The other being that the fan base is so out of touch with reality that they'll pay $150 on EBay for each others accounts, just so that they can point at their win/loss statistics and spew verbal sewage over their 'l337'ness. God, I hate those people.

But, I digress. Basically, I just don't have the patience for those types of games.
