Stargate, "roleplay", ingame custom races...

[Cole]

I think the problem with lack of roleplay (on forums, and ingame) is slightly tied with the problem of custom races ingame. Even though it was MGM requiring from Jason to do that custom races thing, nothing will happen if players were to change their races back to stargate related races, as it would be still custom in game mechanics, but players choices (don't see MGM sueing the players individually).
That's why I just changed back my race to something stargate related, and I would suggest people to do same (as after all, when you can, why not doing so?), as there's quite many choices in Stargate's universe.
Game lost its identity, we will agree on that? Custom races changed things? It's an excuse imo. As custom means you can change it, such as, if you want to roleplay as Atlantis (Wraith, Genii, Asuran...) ingame/forums, you now are able to.
My point is, what seemed to us to be a curse, is in reality, sort of a blessing.

Another reason why people do not roleplay is because they are either..

A) Lazy.
B) Not creative enough.
C) Do not care enough.

However, I would enjoy it if we all did it. I might actually put forth the effort to create something.

The RP was dead/dying before MGM banhammered the races.

In my recent attempt to get a race war going, one goa'uld player stepped forth. One.
Out of all the big bad system lords out there...

I would looooooove to participate in this race war but it's nearly exams time for me and my alliance is at war with OE ... so no time and not too many stats to play with ... bad timing for a race war with the only pure original SGW race alliance being in a big war

[Heisenberg]

Or how about like alliance houses, Have race houses?

When you choose a custom race, you must select a house for that to be in with other race names, but are all technically all the same race in that house?

[Noobert]

Make a post in the GC, and see who steps forward. If enough people step forward, I will participate in it and waste a bit of resources on it. It'll be hard though, not much left.

[Noobert]

I'll have to revise the dates on it, as some are now past due...
but I suppose I could try re-releasing it with the GC for more exposure

Put a set of rules, if you must. It could be fun with even accounts fighting one another, even if one account must mass itself down a bit.

Otherwise, it would be bigger guys picking on smaller guys at some point making it not as fun for somebody who has like..100B MS vs 2T.

A far as i'm aware the main races are:

Ancient 2 1609 2,005,382,364,399,796 1,246,353,240,771
Tollan 3 741 1,542,547,869,001,109 2,081,711,024,293
NanoTiMaster 4 401 851,083,119,347,053 2,122,401,793,883
Bear 5 9 705,083,088,231,452 78,342,565,359,050
Asgard 6 17456 455,836,283,365,209 26,113,444,281
Tauri 7 20048 321,032,038,540,239 16,013,170,318
Goa'uld 8 16006 218,768,166,180,207 13,667,884,929

I roleplay my race frequently on msn.

<< is extremely slow,
perfectionist, (especially in "public"),
and not creative enough...

but I am open to suggestions...

why don't we start by getting some info on the different SGW-related races available / list above...

like some blurbs from wikipedia or somethin...

I will pick 3 to copy, and add a few comments about my impressions of each...

[Ashu]

I think admin J could have fought them off, MGM i mean. Asgard is not something solely StarGate, its something from the Norse mythology. He could of used Goauld instead of Goa'uld and Tauri instead of Tau'ri and so on. Fixed races were cooler than this, now anyone can be anything from his own name to a freaking bear. (i love you Griz)

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

but since MGM and RIAA have lawyers up the wazoo...

and since Admin J decided not to fight them...


perhaps we could take the suggestions and ideas mentioned,

and go with that?


I am partial to having my race listed as Magnificent,
because it represents my alliance, and gets our race name listed...


However, it does not have much in the way of role-playing potential...

So I would be willing to consider a different race name...


Also, not being much of a true warrior ingame, I lack a certain...

confidence, street cred, etc...


not that I have much time to be more of a warrior atm...


but I'd be willing to try my hand at making the story up as I go along,

if I could get a little bit of learning from some other role players...

It's nice to see somebody make an attempt at portraying the Nox. Very cool. Even the siggie!
