Please Read -- Sign Up for Roleplay Group

It appears that I am trying to revive a freaking zombie that has been shot in the face. The hand twitches, there's minor gasps, but it won't stand or groan. The couple roleplays I have created, even the Wraith guy I made, did not seem to kick off roleplay. The ones that lasted a page or two eventually lost the original members, and had confusing last-minute out-of-the-ordinary people join. Which I actually do not have an issue with, however, it complicates things and may cause issues.

I propose to set up a group, where if people do sign up for a roleplay event (an event/idea which we all agree on) that we do participate in. Nothing is forced, but we will change force to trust. Meaning we will trust that you will post when it is your turn.

My Thoughts
We have a roleplay event where the Wraith are actually about to enter the Milky Way, and they do. This would require any... to even all races participating. I'm not great with SG-1 planets and such however, my history on the show is mismatched and I have troubles watching it because I could go 3 episodes not have seen them yet and then the next two I know and it annoys me. I am at Season 4 of Atlantis and have seen all episodes in Universe (Love Universe). So if you all agree to this idea then I will need help with planets.

Side note: Anyone can participate as a Wraith Queen or warrior or commander, either way it works. Also anyone will be allowed to play more than one character for the matter, the only issue is you will need to remember your posting place.
P.S. - No one needs to be in the same "instance" as others. As an FYI that means person A is with Person B within such and such feet. Someone could be protecting mars while another is protecting the Jaffa homeworld. (But that means we still need a set post order so there is no confusion, it just makes it easier in case someone does enter someones instance).

There is no time requirement in which you need to post, we trust you will post as soon as possible. We do however request that if you do sign up, you participate, oh and have fun. This is realistic and comedic, you can (and you should) crack a sucking joke at a Wraith or two or something, or saying the Jaffa have worms :/

If you'd like to participate, please state any and all characters you will be participating as and so it is easier, what planet you are currently at. Don't worry; the Wraith won't immediately be entering the Milky Way, all of that will probably happen in page 2 or 3 depending on how many people we get. I will let this stay open for a few days to a week, depending on who participates.

If you have any questions, please state them. There shouldn't be any banned 'items' (like race, area, armada size etc) as long as it is realistic and you can back it up. Meaning if your race is Borgshma and you have 3 fleets of ships of 30 cruisers and they are organic and have a long history of your homeworld of organic technology and whatnot, it goes. But it is realistic so that there is no shenanigans, you know, B.S. .

Thank you, and please post away.

Why thank you Juliette, that is very kind of you. Can I expect you to be apart of this?

braahnz?

zambah ahht raahth braahnz?




On that note, we would like RP to be revived, we've tried many times, but it has never truly amounted to much. We're skeptical if it will have any success this time, but if it does, then we will support it.

I understand you will support it, but are you participating Zeratul?

if it clearly shows it will move beyond the first phase or so, then we will.

Re: Please Read -- Sign Up for Roleplay Group

considering that beyond the first one (shéral), we were in charge, taking charge wasn't exactly odd...

You never participated in any RP with us after Shéral, so you don't exactly have much material for comparison...

That being said, there's none interested in RPing here suitable for taking a proper GM role.

probably not. But that one failed because nobody kept in charge.

So Zeratul, Juliette and Super Saiyan may be in this if it kicks off. We need some more people guys, yeah! I am also thinking Juliette to be said GM, at least I vote it.

Keep in mind I'm lazy and forgetful, if I participate someone is going to need to remind me about it.
You should try to get ahold of semper (or I could shoot him a pm) would be awesome for him to be the head of this if you need one. I'd love to see him back here. Best RPer we've ever had imo.



Sure why not? As long as they are a fair GM and not controlling, I would have no issue.

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. :smt042

Politics in jail. Interesting. Lol. Shawshank redemption meets Game of Thrones and Stargate.
