Hmmm. Yeah, sounds good. Central issue with the SGW forums and RP is the size of the perticipants. Often we come up with a fairly epic idea but there are never enough people to fill the spots.. but I think I might have an idea of a smaller scene, one thats geared to a smaller group.
The wraith coming to the milky way could be used fairly well.
The basic assumption would be an abandoned world on the edge of the milky way with a wraith prison. New galaxy, new rules for the wraith so the idea is a new world for a base, hidden with 'test' subjects to learn of the new universe. Means we would have some measure of urgency in the story too.
That opens up the way for three races, Goa'uld, human/jaffa and wraith. Wraith are the guards, and are as inter-plotting as the System Lords ever were (take todd and the wraith politics in the latter Atlantis seasons for example).. so it could give an opening for the prisoners to try and work with a more disgruntled wraith, trying to dethrone the queen. The more prisoners, the more their power (leads to the RP'ers recruiting more rp'ers for the story).
It also means that you wont need as many RP'ers as its easy to group and assign some prison gangs as a GM and it leaves the choice open to escape the prison as a small unit of RP'ers or gather more RP'ers to the RP itself and try overthrow the Wraith queen whilst working with the disgruntled wraith, assuming there even is one.
There are plenty of potential motivations here too.. get back to Stargate Command, regain power, overthrow, freedom, protect the innocent, steal the wraith tech etc etc. Prison means limited resources as well so it removes the idea of overpowering powers, weapons and equipment as they'd simply not be available.
Jail break? I already have an idea of what comes after.
Politics in jail. Interesting. Lol. Shawshank redemption meets Game of Thrones and Stargate.
I wouldn't be against that at all, if no one else is. You could probably even be head of the jail or be in the jail yourself, either way it works. However, I will be busy tailing the massive war fleet of every Wraith HIVE. It was kind of one of my science officers that they got a hold of....
