[Team RP I] General Interest Thread

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Because I just don't know how to say no...

With a recent influx of vets, there's been some murmurings about a Team RP. For those not in the know, Team RP is a style of RPing developed by myself and Neo Emolga. It is basically a fusion of Risk and Dungeons & Dragons. In it, people RP on factions or teams, and build and command armies to take over the world from other teams. PE2K hosted 8 successful Team RPs while PXR has hosted a Team RP-style WAR RP that's still going strong. Unlike the WAR RP, if this were to happen, Neo and I would definitely uphold our age-old rule of never being on the same team. I know I am also interested in RPing a good guy for the first time in my life. Likewise, since no points are given out and the RP is based purely on the flow of conflict, I feel like a lot of people will have a better idea what they're getting into for this one, so battles won't come as much of a surprise as they did in the WAR RP.

If there is significant interest, here are the following questions that need to be answered:

• What is the threshold for "enough interest" in order to begin planning a Team RP?
• What is the entrance requirement for a team? How many teams will there be?
• Modern technological level or futuristic?
• Will it be set on the Pokemon-world/Maridia or on a planet(s) of our own creation?
• Should project lists be re-introduced?
• Do we need to have Pokemon in the RP?

I'd be willing to make a team for this, FYI. Probably a villain team, but I'm not sure what yet.

I'm not sure on team size, but I think more than fifteen-sixteen people should be the bare minimum for even considering a Team RP in the first place.

On teams: 4 members per team (including the leader), and at least three teams total should suffice.

I think a setting leaning more towards the modern end would be OK, but I'd like two fields of technology that are obviously futuristic due to the sheer level of presence in the Pokemonverse alerady: Psionics and Digitalization. However, I'm game for anything tech-wise, really.

I'm pretty sure having locations everyone can remember would help, so I'm game for another round in Maridia. I'd take it a step further and make it a distant sequal to the WAR RP that's ongoing-not sure if anyone agrees to THAT point, but this would be distant enough that the factions of the original have disbanded, and took their secrets with them so we can start over from scratch. I'm game for most anything, though.

Project Lists I think should remain out of the picture. It's not like we still can't make multiple projects at once anyways, and though I worked with them once, I cannot see the benefit that some coordination can easily make up for in spades.

And lastly, Pokemon. This is a Pokemon forum. We don't NEED Pokemon, true, but let's face facts, we want them way too much anyways so we should just assume we need them.
