I'm assuming paragraphs, dice rolling sounds too complicated... and live chat probably wouldn't work due to different time zones and stuff..

Right, because our RP section has been dead for some time, and because I've been having fun playing VII and have got ideas in my head at like 2am when I'm trying to sleep, here's the dope. So far we've had the turks semi-humor RP, and the serious FF crossover RP. How about, for the new arrivals since the mass crossover died, something silly/fun/random just for the hell of it? My idea is a gameshow, where you have people to characters as normal, but also a quizmaster who's like a wild card and anyone can write. So e.g. you can have a scene of 'couples quiz' with Cloud and Tifa, which can do whatever, then you get something like. Quizmaster: Congradulations! Tifa scored a perfect 50, and Cloud scored four, that means Tifa goes through to the next round... -/-/-[can be another person] Gladiator fight! (and I'm so seeing Aerith turn up in this )Any takers?

It sunds complicated (if rather funny).
I'd love to continue the crossover RP, but I dunno... do y'all have a wish to continue, or is it just me?

Ah, it wouldn't be too complicated I don't think, just a little random It'd be nice to finish the crossover RP, but posting just sorta dries up (or at least when you are writing about five characters -_-, stupid, fangirling me ) The basic setup of my idea was just a gameshow with the cast of VII on it, and the quizmater thing is just a tool to mix it up and let everyone have a chance at putting in show-ideas. ...Thinking about it, this was probably mildly insipred by watching 'Takeshi's castle' the other day

*Forgive the double posting non-existant RP mod, this constitutes a BUMP so don't scold me!* *BUMP*There's been talk of trying to revive this 'ol RP section, and as we've yet to have a mod emerge I'm going to start making a fuss until enough of you take notice of this section!!! If you joined after our most recent RP went to the graveyard (though it took a long time getting there and was blummin good fun!), then perhaps you just haven't realized that GA do role plays. Well we do, and there are so many talented writers on here it's practically a waste not doing one. SO THE LOT OF YOU GET YOUR A**S OVER HERE AND PLAY WITH US! This thread is for ideas for RPs, as you can see above is one I suggested a while back, and is an example of the sort of thing we can do on here. So if you have a story idea you never got around to writing, or didn't know exactly /how/ to write, or even something you just want to see written, stick it on here and we'll see what we can do about it. In the past we've had crossover/adventure, humor/parody/adventure and an OC ghost story if I remember correctly, so anything is welcome, 'kay? If this post goes ignored (like my last) then I'm likely to start PMing the lot of you and heckling you into taking notice: role-plays are fun, easy to do and you get to mix skills/talent with all the writers on here, so there aren't many excuses I'm going to accept without a 'foight' ::Fear's idea burner of RP ideas for inducing ideas, writers and the like:: Godawfully cheesy but a bit of fun - High-school AUDone before but also a bit of fun - The Turks, AVALANCHE, or both, go on holiday together.Kadaj/Sephiroth turns out not to be dead as the world thought, but in fact hiding in a bunker under the ruins of Midgar living off crisps and rodents; discovered by a group of potholers and finally returned to the mending Gaia, what will he do next?! ( ) Narrative on the comings and goings of the 7th Heaven/Heaven's Edge, mixture of genres, characters/OCs and everything else that goes on in a popular bar.THEMED IDEA - It's the Gaia Olympics! With drugs/Mako testing, Red trying to pass as a human and Shinra and the Turks trying to fix the games at every opportunity, it's a miracle that Cloud got into those cycle shorts at all.Now go! You hear me? LOOK OVER HERE SEE HIM DANCE! HE'S SO EXCITED ABOUT BRINGING BACK THE RP SECTION! [/end of longpost] TL;DR version: JOIN THE RP SECTION NOW!

You've dragged me over here! I consider myself heckled... I like this idea. Its relatively simple and anyone can join in. Especially when you consider that several people can play one character. I'm not talking about at the same time, but consider Reno played by [member1]. Reno enters the bar, has one of his adventures and leaves. Then [member2] can take over and play him on an alternate roleplay-day. Does that make any sense? And that just sounds fun! But I wouldn't know where to start, so you or someone else would have to kick it off...

... I'm here for the meeting. An angry blonde chick cornered me on msn.
I can't contribute much, except promising to post and take part when it begins.

Yay! YOU DO CARE !! Heckling produces results! Okay, so I like that you like the Bar idea, and the idea about letting different people play different characters for different scenes/adventures is also good, because then you don't just get the first-come-first-served things that can leave people with only unpolular characters. TL;DR: SO WHO ELSE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING AN RP FOCUSED ON TIFA'S BAR? LIKE CHEERS OR SOMETHING If there were enough mad people to join in with the Gaia Olympics then I could give it a go, but I'd want to know who would be in first. IF CLOUD THREATENED YOU WITH OMNISLASH WOULD YOU JOIN US?! I'm aware capps lock is not the most eloquent way of expressing myself, but goshddarnit I'm trying to get your attention.EDIT: I only do it because I care, Pirates. And without me you'll last even less time here 'fore you get banned

I'm personally fairly besotted with the idea of an RP based in Tifa's bar. I think that in a lot of fics monumental things seem to happen there A) it's a common gathering place B) It's a safety zone- whether it's because of being with friends, or being sheltered from what's going on outside, or even tifa's motherliness, people feel at ease C) It's a bar. Funny things happen at bars. People make mistakes at bars. Conflict occurs at bars. ANYTHING could happen at a bar, which makes the life expectancy for the RP a lot longer.
you know fear, I said I wasn't going to take anything, but I'm so, so, so tempted. Shame for the heckling.

Good, so two more for the bar-idea and another for the silly Olympics parody! How can I be shamed for heckling when it gets me results?! *waves back* If anyone of course has their own ideas, I only suggested those things because I spew ideas at random and wanted to have somthing to flog, go right on ahead and suggest them. So the bar idea is going to be on now I think, we/I'll just wait until I've heckled more people in and we have a good cast going, neh?

Olympics parody, huh? ... Including age scandals! Authorities debate over whether or not Shelke is really too young to join! XD (Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist.) Anyway, I'm all for an RP based of Tifa's bar... if I can snag Yuffie. (Hm, wait. I am pondering something.) Heeeeyyy... what if we had characters from other FFs pop in every now and then? It wouldn't be anything serious like the FF Crossover, just an excuse for shenanigans with the various characters. Like a soap opera, but awesomer.

Haha, I'd love to do the olympics idea Sylla, but I think the bar one would be best to get lots of people involved and get our RP boots back on Also I love the idea of other FF characters stopping by for a drink! Go for it!! (You said Yuffie here so I've reserved her for you, but put in a word on the new thread and it'll go offical
