Alliance wide RP story

[Kayser]

In one of my former alliances in another game, we had an RP topic a bit ago with each member narrating a part of a story. The next poster would always pick up form where the last one left off as far as chronology goes, but the story would be told form a kind of third person perspective. We had a blast with the topic, with each member adding an interesting part of our collective story. If you guys would be up for it, we can pick a setting with which the OP would start us off and everyone can come and add a section whenever they chose.

Whatcha think?

sounds good

I like it. It would be just as entertaining reading as it would be writing

I'm glad you guys liked it. I was thinking of having the setting be in the country of Radiant and we're all in positions that correlate to our in alliance role. Could make it easier for someone to jump into the game and not have to worry too much about making up a character. Of course your narration of your character could be completely different from your in alliance persona. Whatever the RPer feels like really.

Well I guess that means I should really read the book series so I understand everything more. It's been on my must read list sInce when I started playing last December

I don't plan for the world to be the world of the Stormlight Archive, it would be a fictional "Earth" just the countries are named after the alliances of Orbis. The time frame wasn't something I considered. 

Would a Modern Age be the best fit, Classical? Victorian? Industrial?

Hmm, would we be using our P&W leader's as characters?

Yeah, I think using our leaders as characters would provide the best entry for most people if they want to make a quick addition to the story.

True that.

As for the time theme, or whatever.. I say we leave it ambiguous. Since there are going to be a plethora of "characters" each with their own nations storys and backgrounds.. It could be a sort of mish mash of different things.

In the RP we're all citizens of the country of "Radiant" kind of like how we're all members of TKR, instead of the leaders of our own countries. But our characters are our in game characters.

Hm I wonder what that map would look like.

Each nation could have varying levels of technology to mix things up a bit

funny thing is in CN we got so deep into the story someone eventually made a map for it

Our leader decided to have our RP country declare war on UPN (we had a grudge against CN UPN) and we role played the war as commanders/soldiers in the different parts of the military. The map even helped us out with geographic decisions.

Another RP scenario we can add is have our in game infrastructure correlate to our RP wealth or something, like. The super nations would be rich members of our country so their personal possessions would be a bit more expensive

I like that idea. This gives larger nations more power, but not too much of an advantage.

Also, I can get on making a map. Do we want a map of USA with redrawn borders? A completely new map? One giant island world?

I'd say make an entire new map, the world is Orbis, Lets see how creative we can be

I agree with Kayser on a brand new map. There can be oceans or one supercontinent. Doesn't matter. We could all help create it with names of geographical locations and placement of those things. I'd be willing to help you with the map any way I can

Hate to be a bother, but should we do a super continent or a world? If it is a super continent, I can use an online generator but if it is a world I get to draw it out.
