Survival RP Possiblity, Discussion and Infromation Topic.

[LT Sandpaw]

Hello my fine and slightly mysterious forum friends. I'm Lieutenant Sandpaw along with my copycat cousin Sandfur.

We have decided to start our own little mini RP contest featuring a survival setting where the goal of the players is to survive. It will be all for fun and run by me and Sandfur with the winner getting bragging rights.

The contestants will play the RP as they normally would with a few added rules and continue until the RP ends. What will be different is that every week or so we'll have a vote (Most likely in the cellars as they are more popular) On who will die, essentially.
As we slowly kill off the entire cast, The over all goal of the players is to write a story that is interesting to the viewers so they will let the player live for another round. If a player is voted out they will have to depict themselves dying in a way that will still fit the story as soon as possible, whether its in one or two posts.

Me and Sandfur are still coming up with finer points and rules to make it work for everyone.
If you have heard of something like this before a similar event has taken place a while back, elsewhere.

So this is where you guys come in, this is still just an idea and may never be incorporated so we need Questions, Ideas, Comments, Concerns and the like. Whether to go along with it or not and if you would be interested in participating. Or whether you feel its an awful idea and should never be considered again.

I think that's all for now but I will be posting more later if it has any popularity with the forum members.
                 Thanks again.

Right so, it sounds like Mafia only without the teams. The most important thing is that the reason they're dying has to make sense? Are we sacrificing them? Are we killing them to conserve supplies? Are they being hunted by a monster? Personally I like the idea of being trapped somewhere with a monster and finding a safe zone that the monster won't enter and voting on who to let free into the monster's lair to conserve supplies. I might write a book on that......

^^That's a little... Disturbing, Jet.

However, I like the idea, Lieutenant.

I think this is a cool idea and I would defiantly try it (If my life lets me). I Agree with Wylder. I think the deaths should be a lot less voluntary and more on accident or in an encounter with something (Like the red shirts ). 

[LT Sandpaw]

I'm a little confused whether that's a question or not Jett seeing how you kinda went down a rabbit trail, none the less I'll answer your ah... post.

It does sound a bit like Mafia except the reason someone will die is because the player haven't been actively posting, or there writing is bad, or the posts are boring to read. The RP players will be focusing on survival from things like natural dangers, infection wounds and the like and interacting with other players. The story they create will determine whether they stay in the RP or not,  Are you following?

Edit for Faiy: The deaths are completely not up to the player but to the voters. The player with the most votes then has to kill themselves but still staying friendly to the story. Then their out of the RP completely but can still vote. Does this make any sense at all?

So,in short,it's a cross between OO's and Hunger Games.

Sounds interesting! I'm honestly a bit confused and some details may need to be crystallized. But it sounds like a creative idea, so if you want, go for it.

I sorry I think I wasn't clear about that. I understood. I just meant the way that a player went about killing themselves in contrast to Jets suggestion.

Not really the hunger games the players are more then welcome to survive as a group and are discouraged to fight. But yes very similar to OO except Overlords Orders is mostly in past tense whereas Survival RP will be an actual story.

Thanks Sky, can always count on a encouraging word from you, If you want some clearer explanation on some things just ask I'll do my best.

Okay, well the player would most likely have to kill themselves due to some danger or another, it most likely will have nothing to do with another player.
