Operation Red Dawn

[No.1JerlitaFan]

The Russians have attacked the United States and have taken control over most of eastern U.S. Using your OCs we must fight to defend our country! (If not american, sorry xD just try to be creative, just pretend or come up with something original that would explain it) The setting takes place in a heavily wooded area, held up in a cave we wait and plan our next move again the Russians, the attack has already happened and we are being looked for by the Russians since we escaped. We must take up arms. (If your OC is a magic user, that's perfectly fine. We can throw magic into it, that's why it's RP afterall)


I'm simply asking permission to start this RP, I wanted to suggest that it start on Orange level, but due to it's nature it might have to be moved up to Red level. 

• There will be NO powerplaying, I will enforce that myself if I have to.
  
• There will be NO god-modding, again I will enforce it if I have to.
  
• No meta-gamming 
  
• You can be killed in this RP, if you are you are no longer part of the RP (This applies to me as well)
  
• Please make it clear who is talking to who when you are doing dialogue. If there are multiple characters outside your OC, clarify who it is as multiple he and shes will get confusing.
  
• And remember while this starts as Orange it can easily become Red. So if you are not comfortable with Red level, do not join.

Sounds good but would like you to put more info about how the rp works in your opening post. For example, is it free rp or are there some form of combat rules?
Can you play as one of the Reds if you want to? As a side to that, is there a problem with players combating each other?

[No.1JerlitaFan]

Hmm, good questions. I hadn't thought about that.

As far as if you can be on the Russian's side, I see no reason why not. This may create problem with meta-gamming, but I'll handle issues like that as we come to them.

I don't have any objections towards characters fighting each other, even if they are on the same side, in a situation like this everyone is edgy and fights between friends are bound to occur. 

Combat rules...hmmm. Didn't think about that. Personally I was hoping that people could use their common sense as far as what's realistic and just trust people to not god-mode. Although, due to the unpredictability of the situation is, I was worried about a few problems. Say I decided someone will get shot by a sniper, now that person is angry at me for taking them out of the RP and that is pretty much Powerplaying which is off-limits. But without it, the RP is bound to get boring eventually. 

The use of these random occurrences (like the sniper) is to spice up the RP a little, like if the team was relying on one person for the most part, that person could get taken out and then the RP is about the chaos ensued by the lack of that important person. Anyway, these are just things i need to sort out before starting up the RP.

You could use the built-in dice rolling thing for events like snipers and whatnot (unless Atlas got rid of it).

Also, is there a limit on how many characters one can play?

Edit: Wow, that was fast. lol So that solves random event success problem.

[Atlas]

The member 'Snickie' has done the following action : The Dice of Fate is rolling....

#1 'd20' : 7

--------------------------------

#2 'd20' : 8

[No.1JerlitaFan]

Ah, that is a good idea. I could use the dice to select members of the RP at random. I forgot about the dice. If each role-player was assigned a number, when ever a random occurrence event happened, the dice would just role until someone's number was landed on (this would be to ensure someone was selected if it got down to a handful of players)

[Atlas]

Sounds good. Remind me to go find neato pictures for dice results. I did it for the new Arena dice but they could all use the same treatment.

Except d20 and d100, I dunno if anyone actually has good quality pictures of every face.

[PeaceKeeper2014]

I'm all for it!

[No.1JerlitaFan]

Sweet! PeaceKeeper is on board. Btw, i read your fanfic 1968, really good. Also, very interesting concept. Keep it up!

Atlas, I'm not quite sure how to take pictures of the dice faces, or what a neato picture is. Was that a typo that was supposed to say "neat pictures"?

[PeaceKeeper2014]

Thank you!  Me and Stella Luce are working hard!

[Atlas]

Don't worry about the dice faces: that's our job. 
Also no, neato is intentional. It's a word I like to say lol.
To learn more about the Neato.
Be sure not to confuse with Nito.

Sounds like the potential for a good and exciting RP. I realise that I didn't mention anything about character deaths in the rules; it depends, can characters only be killed with the whole dice rolling thing? Or can characters be killed by other characters in combat(I feel like it might get a bit messy if this happened...)? 

Are we using arena OCs or can we create our own characters specific to this RP?

If someone's character is killed, can they re-enter but iwth a different character with a different story etc...?

[No.1JerlitaFan]

Characters will be able to be killed by the dice roll, combat with other characters, combat with enemy russians (still thinking about how that will work), etc. pretty much, if it should kill you, you can be killed by it. I will be using my OC; however, if you want to create a character specific to this RP then go ahead. If you get killed in the RP, you must wait at least 5 posts before rejoining with another character.

[PeaceKeeper2014]

Thumbs up, chums!  Let's do this!  LEEROOOOOY JENKINS!

[No.1JerlitaFan]

And now, we simply wait for more people.

[Koneko on lyoko]

With the dice roll combat it could just simply be a higher number wins or something? I don't know. 

That's good because I'm not sure how many people have/use/like their arena characters right now xD You could do a basic profile for people to fill out for their OC (Name: Jonathan, Age: etc...).

Anyway, yea, I'm looking forward to this RP  I'm gonna put it as an orange, but if you want it moved to red just PM me. Btw, did you say that you could be part of the enemy team in this?

[No.1JerlitaFan]

I think that is what I will do, higher roller wins. The person who started the attack rolls first, also depending on the situation in the RP I might give roll bonuses to certain players (or even the NPC russians) that boost or impede what number they roll. Such as being injured is a -5 (depending on the injury) on the roll or something. Taking someone by surprise is a +7 roll bonus. Stuff like that. I'll have to figure out the roll bonuses for each situation, i'll get to work on that and put out a list of what situations get what bonuses at the start of the RP. That way no one can say I simply made up what bonus each person got based on favoritism.

At teh start of the RP I think it would be good if everyone gave me info on their characters along with what weapons they will be using as well as how they plan on fighting, this will give me some basic info to throw together some stats for everyone that will apply to the roll bonuses.

Yes, I did say you could play on the other side. But NO meta-gamming. That means if someone says their sneaking up on you from behind, you can't just say you happened to look back and see them or that you heard a twig snap. Using common sense though, I may allow it based on the plausibility of the occurrence, such as if i said earlier that the ground was covered with lots of twigs fallen from the trees, then i may except the "I heard a twig snap behind me"; however, this works both ways. if it is raining, I will in no way except that you heard the crunch or rustle of leaves behind you because leaves don't crunch or rustle when it's raining. They're too wet.

[Atlas]

Sure, I'm in.

Could use a format for my rp character though. We'll just call him Steve for now.
And so long as there is some kind of idea of how to resolve things I'm fine with it. I don't care if it's via rolls or some other method. So long as there is some kind of rules if there is any meaningful combat.

[No.1JerlitaFan]

I'm gonna take some time to think up the situations and all the possible roll bonuses or impediments that will apply to the RP. Hopefully I'll have a list of everything ready by tomorrow, but if not please don't think I'm slacking off. I've been busy trying to get ready for school to start and finishing up some summer assignments. I will have that list as soon as I can.
