Hey all, on request from spades I'm making this thread to gather your event Ideas on what we can have on the weekends and the week days. Within this thread we also ask for you to give your ideas for a "Weekly Event" so to speak, meaning a general story-line for that week.
Keep all ideas serious and legitimate topics, they will be considered for a week long event, week end event, general event or a mini-event. This will allow us to keep the server fun, and potentially improve player base.
We thank you for your Ideas in the long run.
Week 1.
Army of super mutants are raiding the area.
Week 2.
Nuclear weapon detonates in middle of BoS base.
Not sure about second one but... First one has been around in my mind for a while.
And it all helps to develop the passive RP ability in our playerbase.

This.
Also I approve of this thread. Just try to keep the ideas sensible. With four admins and a decent playerbase (finally) I think we'll have plenty of ideas floating around among us.
Idea: Enclave leader (Highest Ranking Unit) meets Brotherhood leader, which equals to a sneak attack from the brotherhood and they take him hostage and bring him back to base and then giant battle Brotherhood vs Enclave.

It's for a story line and to improve passiveRP. A huge battle isn't really passiveRP. Although, I could see how it could end up like this:
-Enclave vs. BoS
-They drag the huge battle to a nearby village
-Adds fear of an attack to the village
Idk but... Yeah.

Fear RP is extinct. And it's not passive RP. Passive RP is DEVELOPING your character in a non-combat way (ie. talking or doing something).
a fear of losing your items, not life.

It's difficult to put a fear of losing your life into a video game...
These might be stupid, but you said to give ideas:
- Some chemical/radiation/fairy dust spreads around major parts of the place, forcing people to move, get a gas mask, or something else
- Massive group of raiders attack Blue Rock Estate or anywhere else
- Large stash of items is found in the mine or somewhere
- Very well equip trader comes around, selling for higher then everyone else's prices (this is more for passive haggling and buying)
- The ghoul population rises extremely, making it unsafe to leave (more unsafe then usual)
Those are my ideas, give feedback.

uh what
the air is already poisonous and environment is filled with radiation
- Massive group of raiders attack Blue Rock Estate or anywhere else
extremely original /sarcasm
npc spam
- Large stash of items is found in the mine or somewhere
random encounter
- Very well equip trader comes around, selling for higher then everyone else's prices (this is more for passive haggling and buying)
random encounter, way too minor
- The ghoul population rises extremely, making it unsafe to leave (more unsafe then usual)
npc spam, no rp involved
Those are my ideas, give feedback.
Here's my tweak on the ghoul population rise thing... Perhaps a prolonged siege of a certain building/area by ghouls... The people invloved would be forced to work together to face ruin or salvation in the wake of a seemingly undefeatable mass of enemies that they would never be able to be defeated with normal means. This would lead to not only problem-solving rp but rationing/supply shortage rp and possibly some interesting social interactions due to being enclosed with people in a small space with high tensions for a prolonged period of time.
Idea: People start to go missing around the area of the mine. Someone (trader, BoS, random person or what ever) places a reward to whoever finds out whats been happening. The players will find clues which will lead them to the actual mine. When they enter they find out that it's a ant nest and are attacked. Everyone fights there way through the mine to the ant queen. Kill queen get reward. Just an idea

Certainly an idea I can work off of, but I always like to throw people for a loop. Maybe it'll be the Ant Queen, maybe it won't! :O Gotta keep you all guessing. I like the idea, though.
It's also something we can
actually roleplay instead of just shooting stuff all day long. We've fixed numerous bugs in FORP, added new content to make things interesting, got loads of new players like never before, our admin team is actually
very good, and now all that's left to do is teach people how to passive roleplay and why it's more fun than just killing stuff. (http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/roleplay-guides-232/what-is-passive-rp-a-must-read-for-new-rpers/)
Also by the mine there are two shacks which can be if you do do it where the people went missing

Really never even noticed
I have a small idea, a nuke alarm is heard all over the wasteland, the people who find safety survive, the people who don't die. After the nuke is set off it would be cool to see what people do to get back into business in the wasteland. This is just a small idea I was thinking of before.

So how does this nuke come to be?

You guys really like to have fun around here don't you
Well he is right, Lone Wanderer died in the bomb explosion.
The nuke can be a nuke that wasen't set off for ages until now. Or maybe it can be a bomb scare? Whatever you guys want to make it work, but it seems like a cool idea don't you think?
Too bad that it was the atomic bomb that destroyed the United States and not the Nuclear Missile.

Ummm no. You forgot the big radiation outside for at least a few years, maybe up to thirty. How long are you going to RP that?
Can we get back on topic guys?
Hmm... Maybe a Giant battle between The Enclave/Outcast/Brotherhood happens and it gets really harsh for wastelanders. Or maybe Junkman every other day :/.

Uhh, no. We did that once. It's called The Firestorm. Broke the server. Never again.
It was also because 2 of the factions had fools running them.
And if you didn't know, Hessen for one, and Rag+Ranma for the other.

Oh yeah... But then the Enclave came in with a Vertibird and said "fuck all" and nuked them both, the end. Of an era, I suppose.
Nuke was used for good reasons. BoS and FRA became buddies to kill Enclave.

1x Dumb
What?
both factions were never allied to each other and FRA destroyed BoS.
Let me reword it than. Both factions stopped fighting each other so they could kill off Enclave first.
Or that was the plan.
