So, this is the bare minimum information as I will include more in the OOC if this generates enough interest.

The School Wars

Sparrowridge High School was never ordinary; it always had something new to the table. This fact became even more present upon the arrival of the new principal, Mr. Zedler. Mr. Zedler was an eccentric man who spent most of his afternoons devising ways to motivate his students. This is how he came up with the School Wars.

Every day at twelve o’clock exactly, students scramble from wherever they are to a certain meeting point. There are two meeting points, each belonging to a team. No one on the opposing team knows where the other’s meeting point, or bases as they are called, are located. And this is where the team meets to begin the School Battle of the day. Mr. Zedler will then be heard on the announcement to tell his students of the battle of the day. No one knows what it is until that moment; it could be a scavenger hunt, it could be a paintball fight, it could be a card game for all they knew! As the School Wars continued on, it became serious between the two teams and an intense rivalry had begun. Students were now competing to get the best grades so their team will be considered the smartest, and do the best in sports to be considered the most athletic. It was truly considered a war, now.

Teams
1st team - The Raft Riders
2nd team - (To be named)

This looks fun. Consider me interested. May I consider changing the team name 'The Licked Trees', however? It's just a suggestion, but I don't think people'd want to join that team because of the name. xD

LOL XD Really, I just put it there as a name holder 'cause I couldn't think of anything else. It was an old joke of my friend and me so it was the first thing that came to mind.

I'm in! I can play two people if you want a larger roster. They'll need to be on the same team, though. I assume you're going to set up a map and locations (if scavenger hunt) and a way to play cards fairly (if card game). Just as long as it doesn't become "Battle Royale" or anything.

As for team names, perhaps it would be best if the students formed their own team name? That would get more people involved, since I would be less excited about joining a team with a cheesy pre-picked name (if it was cheesy). Maybe serve up a list of potential names and let students vote on their favorite?

Alrighty. We can go with that. I'm open to a lot of suggestions ^_^

I'm submitting a few RPs, though, but none of them have started. If another one takes off and I can't participate, I'll let you know. Keep me on the roster for now.

I suggest avoiding card games. I did this in an RPG and it worked well, but it was one-on-one with NPCs. You'll have to send PMs to each person for what cards they have been dealt. It can be done, but you can easily make mistakes and it would slow everything down, since everyone would have to post in succession for the story to proceed.

A scavenger hunt sounds good, but draw a map on Paint or something ahead of time and post it so we know what the building looks like. You could set it up so that each player searches a specific location and you tell them if they found something or not, I guess.

"I search lockers 1A to 5A."
"You find (blank) in 3A!"

But you'd have to set terms for how many things a player can search at once.

Paintball would be pretty epic too, but we'd need a lot of players. Hmm. You could add CTF as a mode. Much easier to keep track of score. Make sure you look up a list of paintball rules of engagement on a website somewhere.
There's a good bit of work and research to be done here, it seems. I apologize for being the overly logical one but I put a lot of thought into anything like this ahead of time. "Make it up as you go" rarely lasts. Keep us informed! I haven't done a school-based RP in a while.

Don't worry about it ^_^ I honestly haven't thought of all the Battles yet and I was going to work on them when I put up the OOC. I think I'll wait to see if this garners a little bit more attention before I go ahead and make anything. One or two more people would be fine, though I would like more. If I need any help on the Battles, I hope you don't mind if I PM you.

Sure. Get as much of the story down ahead of time as possible. Adjust it as necessary as the story progresses but always have a "foundation" to work with.

Fantastic. I'm truly curious. If nothing else I can regain some writing experience. *sigh* I'm taking a bunch of plant and bug science classes and haven't been doing any creative writing. I'm very left-brain and I need to use my imagination more often.

For example, here's a sketch I did of my two OCs, Matthias and Amie Jane.
