[OOC] Lost but not Alone

[Synthesis]

@dreamerAh, you are correct. My mistake, I'll remove the tunnel connection to the center island from Tyre territory. I left the map at my mother's house so I might go get it Sunday, or wait until I got back over there Wednesday. Might color in some parks or something.

If you're alright with it I'd like to try to help with the information base as well. You're not obligated to use anything I make, so don't feel bad rejecting anything. I do this for fun.

I was only asking about Discord because it's a chat room, quick for messaging. PM on here will work fine though.

Alright, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I appreciate people's ideas and feedback. I work with a team of several people on video games so I'm used to it :)

@BigPapaBelial

Looking forward to it Papa!

EDIT: Also moving forward I'll probably add some sort of structure to post like this...

Date: Day 91, 7am

Location: North Island, Sector N-4

Actual post content here...

@dreamer

That sounds good. I could come up with some district names actually. I'll shoot some ideas later gonna work on my IC post. Been listening to some powerful music all morning to put me in the mood of this edgy ass character lmao.

[Synthesis]

Got a nice little intro post. Felt it was better to go with something a little shorter instead of a wall of eyesore. I highly recommend playing the song in the background.

[BigPapaBelial]

I do apologize for taking liberties with the time thing there. Skipping to evening. But it was instrumental to setting the tone for my post.
I may have been listening to that tune on repeat while writing this post.
Not my best post. But it will do don't you think?

[dreamer]

I highly recommend playing the song in the background.

@Synthesis

*Plays it on loop 15+ times and shares it with a friend who just got out of an abusive relationship, causing her to cry and thank me for sharing*

Thank you for sharing the song, it's outside of my normal electronic/dance taste so I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. It really felt right both in the post you made and my friend's situation so thanks for that and an awesome post :D

Going to try and read BigPapa's now.

EDIT: I fell asleep but read BigPapa's just now. Good work man and it's nice to see you fleshing out your side of the world. Would like to have some of you ideas for locations and such sent my way so I can add them to the map :D

At first I thought you were giving Chance a ton of business power but then I remembered he was a Jr. It's a good setup. Let's see if he rises to the thrown!

EDIT EDIT: Good post @SaintJackal. Your character seems to be an interesting one, can he be trusted or not? We'll just have to see.

[ModeGone]

I keep writing and re-writing my post. It's tricky to make it interesting while using a character as dead inside as mine. I don't usually use this sort of character so this is a bit of a challenge.

[dreamer]

@ModeGone Challenging characters can be the most fun :) Just try to get in their head and live through them. We can wait :)

[SaintJackal]

@dreamer
Cheers man, I'm digging the whole thing at the moment and psyched to see what we all do.

[BigPapaBelial]

@dreamer

I really don't have anything down pat.
it's all in my head right now that Tritech territory is like Shadowrun Seattle kinda. All chrome, glass, steel and soaring structures. Arcology structures, soaring 1 to 10 block huge cities within a building. 500 story things where everything you could ever need is contained within that building. Food, water, shelter all of that contained within there. like a hive city from Warhammer 40k if you need another analogy.

I have this vision that each of the founding members of the Tyre/Tritech group have one now. All based around something I figure. Rollins Industries being based around education and advancing known technologies for instance.

I'm not sure right now to be perfectly honest. If I have anything down pat beside the area mentioned in my post I'll start putting something together.

[dreamer]

@BigPapaBelial no worries man. I like the idea so far.

@dreamer

Hey no problem, most of Six A.M's music is pretty good but that song is just super powerful.

Quick question, what's the posting limitations?

@dreamer

I actually almost did to be honest. But then realized I wasn't supposed too.
This is more a set up to his miniscule business. I have so many plans to get him set up. See where it all goes.
Just like in the last RP, it's Chance Senior that has all the power right now. But unlike last time I didn't give Chance Jr. a club to run on all on his own.
We'll get there.

EDIT:



And this was what I was thinking of when I wrote my post. it's the vision I have of the skyline one of the main cities in Tritech territory.

I'm back! So much has flourished in my absence, I am so happy ^_^

@BigPapaBelial

Yeah we'll have to see how it goes. The last RP didn't have the whole strategy element of things sp there wasn't a need to limit him. As for the city that looks pretty sick. I approve of the aesthetics :)

@cthulu

Yup, I'm pretty happy with our launch myself. Thanks again for helping us get started.

Quick question, what's the posting limitations?

@Synthesis

If everyone has posted you are free to post again without waiting for me. If not, after a certain time I will make a post that says time has moved forward basically, maybe write about a minor or major event, and then you guys can write again. (Whomever didn't post before can try to catch up or just do a bit of a time skip to catch up)

EDIT: Updated the Character Sheet links with the current versions on the Character's page. If anyone updates their CS, post it over there and I'll update the links.

[dreamer]

(Doing a separate post because to make quoting easier since I'll be coming up with rules and tossing ideas around below)

Day and Night Cycles
In an effort to balance out the strategy parts of the roleplay and to keep everyone roughly in the same timeline I as the GM will make day and night post. The specific time is irrelevant. For example if I write Day 90, 7pm you do not have to write what your character is doing exactly at 7pm. Just know that it is now night time and your post should either catch up to that point or time skip to night. As such your post should try to accommodate for everything that a character would do in a 12ish hour period. If you are going to need multiple post or are working with someone on a co-post please inform me and the group in OOC so that I can give you more time before pushing time forward.

Territory, Businesses, and Recruiting
Resources are collected at the start of each day. Based on what territory and what businesses you own will pay out what they own you on your first day time post. Any recruiting and unit placement can be done at night though combat can be performed at any time, day or night.

Mobile Access
Members of Tyre and Chimera can reach out to their businesses and units at any point from anywhere (unless stated otherwise) through messages or calls. The Toxins can communicate to their subjects through telepathy and serve the same purpose.

Toxins Dominance Skill
This is a trait that is mostly grown based on the character themselves and not necessarily what they own. It would be displayed as such...

Dominance: 30/15

This means that the player starts with and can have up to thirty dominance, which is used to control members of the Toxins. This recovers at a rate of 15 which means that if Amala spends 20 Dominance controlling her units one turn she will drop to 10. Then on her next turn it would raise up 15 for a total of 25. If she waits again for her next turn without using her Dominance over her troops it would cap at 30.

Events
Events can be created by the GM and in some cases, created by other players. (For example Chance Jr. accidently crashes a supply truck on the border of Toxin Territory, leaving them a chance to attack and rob the truck) These events are available for players to pursue for a limited time and provide rewards for doing so. (Or in some cases, prevent a loss of resources)

Example

Boat crash on Central Island

Tyre Victory
Money -$1500

Chimera Victory
Money -$1000
Unit - Feral

Toxin Victory
Survivors - 5

Missions
Missions are like Events but are provided by Faction members directly and are usually based within the Faction itself. Meaning Chance may get a text about a shopkeep being harassed by thugs and only Chance will know of and be able to perform this mission, unlike an event which is public.

[Synthesis]

I'd like to suggest a toxin special unit (I like the sound of 'Howler') basically a semi sentient backline commander unit. Ie: primary characters can issue them orders and howlers will assert the necessary dominance to command the toxins.

[cthulu]

I sort of envisioned a city a bit like this, nature starting to creep in at the corners, quiet, still, not abandoned but in abject terror of being too noisy due to the toxins.

@cthulu

That takes years to happen but then again crystal that turn people into monsters isn't exactly realistic either so perhaps they also sped things up haha.

As for the city (nice Last of Us Concept art btw) I had originally pictured one like yours but if this is set thousands of years in the future then Big Papa's scifi city is probably more realistic for the time.

EDIT: Thanks again @cthulu for the lovely post. I quite enjoy your writing :)
