Idea: Sparking spontaneous RP for those who like that style

Well, we haven't had one of these events for a couple months, so people should have had some time to refresh themselves and come up with some new storylines to pursue for these. Maybe aim for the weekend of the 22nd of Jan?

on another note, please have a read and feel free to drop your thoughts in on this thread here: boards.jedivsith.com/thread/2855/artifact-wea-erm-items

While no main goal involved, it would be a way for characters to interact without pushing to get to a certain goal and no particular person trying to manage the story in any way. And something like can easily carry on for some time without much concern with a time frame.

I know the last one I was involved in had about 10 people but there was little interaction due to the size

This is sort of out of the blue but why not give locations throughout the galaxy a status much like the traffic light system? Certain locations that can be expendable, preferably places that have not seen much role play in a while. So that would mean anything could happen to the location itself and not to an individual who would prefer that their character remain alive. If two opposing forces want to plan a massive war, it could happen on a 'no mans land' planet where someone could have the chance to raise an entire city to rubble to stir things up in the war. 

Even set in guidelines much like the guidelines to invading a planet. Obviously no one would want a single person to come in and destroy an entire city or a large portion of it for no reason, or even go on a killing spree killing thousands of civilians. To avoid that, the degree of chaos would depend on how many people are involved. Say a massive RP involves two of the biggest factions, only something like that could result in an entire city being raised to rubble. It's just an idea i had floating around in my head for an hour or two so it's not built on much.

well yeah, exactly, like, these things dont necessarily have to have like 15 people signing up for them to go ahead. It's about getting people who are available together to shoot the breeze, or admire Lia's ass

I know my last attempt to organize this failed, but maybe this time we can be more vigilant. We've got a setting, already, so what are people feeling date wise? Do we wanna organize it for this month? or next month?


as far as John's idea is concerned, I know we have a somewhat similar system already in place with Tatooine? Basically it's an anything goes all year round kind of place and was apart of the Blue Light Planet's project we did. But I do agree it would be nice to have some more locations that are tagged as SpontRP area's for war zones where people could just blue shit up and not really have to worry a whole lot. Perhaps people could suggest some places they think might be good, and others might like to volunteer their cities for this?
It should be noted, that a lot of this stuff can technically happen in the Open Orbit and Open Terrain threads as is, but it might be nice to have something a little more 'official' I suppose you could say?

There are currently three worlds with that. Tatooine, Dressel, and Aaragu.

As for abandonment then yes there is a rule were a person can come in and "seize" a planet. Of course due to the number of planets here and the lack of RPers there are always a bunch ready for the taking.

I shall do a quick check in, but how does this weekend sound? The last idea suggested was everyone on Tat starting out at Louie's Tavern.

I would be willing to jump into some RP at some point if anyone is interested. Feel free to let me know, we can discuss it or we can just go with the flow.

Oh, woah, it's the weekend?

Should we try for next weekend instead? Maybe make a poll or an announcement or something?
