WW2 Roleplay?

[Astarathia]

Well , since I'm serious about this ,here it goes.

How about WW II Roleplay? No , I'm not on to PEW PEW PEW , I'm on citizens in WWII ,but ofcourse you could join an army. ( For example russians and axis ) , you can be an underground-solider or something. I would say it would be based on Radiation Script , since that's better than dark rp ,and I would keep tanks out of the fights.
You would start as a normal citizen ,trying to keep alive. You could become like a worker , and build up the houses again (with props ofc, would require trusty players) , or some Salesman , even a dealer for weapons...
A character in axis or allies would require a character who has never been a citizen. ( I don't think the armys recruited local guys ).
I would say the props from Day of Defeat would do at first , just to start first. As Citizens the Hl2 peeps would be boring , I would say the STALKER people would be more fun ,or someone else.

Some rules: 1. Applications for everything exept normal guys needed. ( We don't want dark rp ,do we?)
2. No RDM , if you're axi/ally don't go like : OH , ENEMY *PEW* , rp it , or ask for an auth from a superior officer ICly to attack them.
3. No hacks ofc.
4. Tooltrust + Phsychgun Application would be useful.
5. No looting. ( Seriously ,it's assholish , people worked for stuff like months on the server and you go like: /me shoots you and takes your stuff ) that would be stupid ,and deserves a kick , then ban. REFUNDS ALLOWED ,STEALER CHARACTER WILL BE DELETED.
6. No Lolshooting , everything requires rp.
7. I would say a radio-hack-tool would be cool ,since it existed in WWII too.
8. Vehicles aren't allowed.

Well , that's my idea for it... if you got some cool ideas too.. Post em! ( Sorry for my fail english XD )

A lot of flaws here. Allies and Axis in the same city, it would be actually Warsaw then. Russians vs Nazis. I don't think that people would like to sit in the death camps too. Nobody likes to die.

EDIT: The Russians and Axis were stationed at Poland, and Vistula river is going through Warsaw, so the Axis are on the other side.

[Aresty]

Well, How the hell you think German had a big army ? They recruited all the people. And anyway a WW2, wouldn't that sound.. Racist ? Axis will have to rp stermination camps, and somebody has to be the jew.
And with the maps ? Allies and Axis can't stay in the same city.

[Astarathia]

EDIT: I say two maps then. Each map one army.
There are no jews required , I don't really want any stupid racist stuff.
But if someone says he's a jew IC , axis would sure have to shoot em...

New Rule: Mulitfactioning allowed ,else that wouldn't make any sense.

[Welek]

Stalingrad rp go i shall call myself vasily and i will sniper axis all day and be hero.

[lolKieck]

1944, because if there will be a small amount of Jews, then it must be after the Holocaust, or when they move the Jews to ghetto's. Only a few survived ghetto extermination so no "lol I survived holocaust in ghetto Im kewl" if it is after WWII.

Welek, if there will be Axis and Allies in one city, it must be Warsaw. One part is for russians, the second one is for Nazis.

[Astarathia]

Welek, if there will be Axis and Allies in one city, it must be Warsaw. One part is for russians, the second one is for Nazis.

I agree with above. And no RDM between both factions ,if they meet each other rp it , else  , get an auth from an admin to attack the other faction. DO NOT RDM CITIZENS , Axis even  MUST get auth by atleast two superiors to kill a citizen ,and I don't think russkies killed citizens so ... still auth.

NEW RULE: Sexual interaction allowed ,but please , finish it in SF. I don't think admins want porn.  (( Yeah ,just came out of my mind ,remembering that beeing disallowed on desertia ,so... ))

REDIT: Both factions on one map , NO MULITFACTIONING.

[Astarathia]

I require some scripters ,textures ,modellers... Post here if you want to support us with the stuff I said before!

Think can forget about this untill Exile helps..

[Assassinator]

Maybe fix up your first post a bit and kind of organize it. If you have to spit it all out and post it then maybe after you can go and give it some style.

And also the map would be Warsaw , mappers who can do warsaw please help!

6. No Lolshooting , everything requires rp do a /bc /ad or /event on big distances.
7. I would say a radio-hack-tool would be cool ,since it existed in WWII too.
8. Vehicles aren't allowed , would be a bit mingery. You can rp a vehicle ofc.
9. Sexual interaction allowed ,but to finish in SF.

11. No OOC harashment ofc. IC allowed ,but don't overdo it.

If you take out looting the economy would be pretty fucked up. Even if you wanted to keep it, you might as well just remove that rule and make it so you don't drop stuff when you die. Also, there's many many roleplay ideas out there, you'd have better luck suggesting your idea to a community with coders, mappers, and all that. You could even suggest it to HGN, right?

[Turkey]

Would just be dark RP, It's a good idea though. What made you so interested in this?

[Celtic]

And with the maps ? Allies and Axis can't stay in the same city.

During WWII the concentration camps were just rumors to the German citizens and Americans.  The soldiers were stunned when they first came across a concentration camp.  Jewish people could be abducted but it's unnecessary to RP in a hidden concentration camp.

[Ravanger]

Hrmmm this would remind me to much of Riech rp.

[Astarathia]

I don't want it to be some mingy RP. and looting will be taken out , like I said. There will be traders. Now people , I still need support with this , since I can't code myself. Rad script is the base! And I still need exile to help with this ,since he is da pro coder.

[Turkey]

-Support
NO!!

[Astarathia]

Shut up ,seriously <.<

[OBrian]

Clearly you've never heard of Reich Role-play... It was a community that was doing WWII role-play set in occupied Paris in 1942. It featured, Gestapo, Wehrmacht, SS (I was 2nd-in-command of the SS), French Resistance, Nazi Party and the average french citizens. It never launched because the community leaders were a bunch of trolls but the idea was amazing. In a setting of that type it allows passive and combat role-play. There were also idea's of having another server connected to the first that would be a German Wehrmacht/SS HQ. This would be for training purposes and other major German Heer (Army) events. Then another server that would be a work or POW camp. The camp would have captured French Resistance members and downed allied pilots. Plans for escapes would be major events, the escapee's would then go to the Paris server and hide-out. Etc.

Anyway if this is decided for another server I still have much of the materials, sounds and models from Reich Role-play if its wanted...

[Astarathia]

Well it surely is wanted...
If I had a scripter , since I can't script myself , so I'm pretty helpless. And we still would need a server etc etc... I just need exiles help with this ,or someone who has a server... >.<

[Astarathia]

Started a crappy little homepage about it. If you want to make one like this ... DO IT , that crappy one is... crap.

I'm really surprised that people think you're a very good coder, silver.

I don't think that Silver wants to arse with a WW2RP project when there's a fuckload of work to do on other projects.

That and ive already looked into doing this, but it's a touchy subject thats unlikely to  remain interesting for long.

[Lucidius]

My thoughts,


1) Who said an RP server needs to always be the same one map, or be one city?

Why not having multi-factioning allowed, so people have characters in each faction (primary faction American, Secondary Italian/Brittish) so, if some one is primarily american, but there is a force imbalance then they can go to another character with an RP'd leave.

Anyways, Why not just have them set up like campaigns in Company of Heroes? Some what Scenario based RP. It doesn't always HAVE to be, but that way it represents characters actually going through the theatre of war, moving around the country, etc.

I'm ranting in a random order so, example.

22nd Infantry divsion, comprised of x (amount of HGN) Sergeants/higher ranks and or privates commanding namelessss charcters in an RP fight? Kinda like how scritped machinema works but without the scripts being pre-made and improve'd.

Don't mind me, im' tired and not strining this all together well.

2)

Why not have multiple cities involved? One week could be a few days of Stalingrad, the next week it could be x operation, mix it up with some. Give people some short term anticipation.

"Oh I wonder where we're gonna be shipped off to next."

Have it so one day they're behind enemy lines and beyond communication range, and so they're on their toes and wondering how the fuck they got there, then have a giant flash back to the events before that.

I don't see much potential for a WWII server RP wise if it was to be in one map constantly. And frankly, that's one of the issues I find with most RP servers. After you've known a map, you know the map. There's never a sense of unfamilierity regardless of what character your on.

So how constructive was this post? Did it add to the thread in any way? did you address any points of concern?

[Astarathia]

Update yet again , because of Lucidius his stuff was kinda interesting.
And as it seems we got Silvers support ,woot!


New stuff underlined again

Both Factions will be on one map , but they wont be allowed to attack the other faction without the auth of some superiors or an admin. ( TA's wouldn't count. )
It will be on different maps ,with different factions.
To keep the economy up there will be traders (If it's do-able they would get supplies each 24 hours , because in real WWII they didn't have insta-supply too. )
Some rules: 1. Applications for everything exept normal guys needed. ( We don't want dark rp ,do we?)
2. No RDM , if you're axi/ally don't go like : OH , ENEMY *PEW* , rp it , or ask for an auth from a superior officer ICly to attack them. Big battles will be usually S2RP I guess , after the admin auth.  If you backstab someone , RP it ,and ask if he will reflag or if you can kill him AFTER you did your /me (lolminges would run away )
3. No hacks ofc.
4. Tooltrust + Phsychgun Application would be useful.
5. No looting. ( Seriously ,it's assholish , people worked for stuff like months on the server and you go like: /me shoots you and takes your stuff ) that would be stupid ,and deserves a kick , then ban. REFUNDS ALLOWED IF YOU HAVE PROOF THAT YOU HAD THOSE WEAPONS ,STEALER CHARACTER WILL BE DELETED.
6. No Lolshooting , everything requires rp do a /bc /ad or /event on big distances.
7. Vehicles aren't allowed , would be a bit mingery. You can rp a vehicle ofc.
8. Sexual interaction allowed ,but to finish in SF.
9. As army: DO NOT KILL CITIZENS , ASK FOR PERMISSION OF ADMINS OR SUPERVISORS.
10. No OOC harashment ofc. IC allowed ,but don't overdo it.
11. Multifactioning allowed , since there will be a map rotation of one to two weeks (depends on the activity of the factions on the map . And the map WILL change after two weeks maximum. )
12. Multiply characters in a faction allowed ,but the maximum is two.
13. If you  leave a faction,  you wont be allowed in another faction for two weeks. ( So no lol-troll leaves because the faction is inactive for one day or something. The two weeks shall be the punishment. )

Also Lucidius , you seem to have good ideas , might add some more? <3

Also I want to show you people I'm serious about keeping this up , and not trolling about this. I want this to be up, in my opinion it would be cool with the right rpers.
