Titanium Rhapsody: The Actually Discussion Thread - Page 8

Relm Zephyrous · 03-11-2010, 10:47 PM

We could still do PvP if we wanted. It'd just take a whole lot of effort to set up, and I wanted a way to incorporate it without necessarily doing that. Of course if we find it necessary then its still an option. Who knows? We might wind up creating a whole 'sport' for the Rhapsody world.

And for your color, space would work. But for you I thought Supernova could be a little almost rainbowish changing of colors, though fluid and slow changing. Your suggestion made me think 'why not a shinning silver' instead of dull grey. Metallicness makes everything better.

But then while starting the post, I thought 'Titanium' and decided thats better than any of that for multiple reasons. Ultimately, your choice though.

((Edit: And yeah, its understandable. It'll take some getting used to for us to understand exactly whats going on with everyone in this rp.))

I usually have the list you made open constantly when working on my posts.

I like the silvery/titanium idea. Not very shiny or reflective, but still a dark silver.

If your black forces are metallic as well, that could look quite awesome.

Edit:
And an actual PVP would probably work, but I'd recommend that we do it outside of the story timeline, since doing it between missions would hold up the rest of the RP. This is mainly because every move each of us makes would have to be applied to some mental battlefield. What I'm envisioning is that we just PM RMB with what we want our units to do, and after each turn he'll give us a summary telling us what happened to our units, what we can see, and so on. Like I said before, a lot of effort, and the full battle would probably take us a while, but if RMB's willing to referree, it'd be fun.

Indeed, it'd have to be something completely on the side. Of course, right now we have to decide how to quite set it up. Like, do we have perfectly matching armies, or do we use a 'point buy' and make up our own armies of 8 minimum 16 maximum from them, making part of the strategy of the game trying to out-predict your opponent. Same would be simpler, but this way would allow us to simulate the Godeye and Eclipse into the game itself as the 'King' pieces.

I'm leaning towards the "all the same units" strategy, but we can discuss that via PM.

It saddens me that Arcanum Darkfire has not yet posted. Perhaps we can pretend his mech attacked anyway?

I don't know what to do here people. I'd complete the battle for you all, but unfortunately I have no ideas to run with you past that. I swear I had a couple, then I lost them all of a sudden and other ideas I ran past a friend... he said they didn't make sense and I agreed. So... sorry all.

Well if this is really the end of the line for this one how about sending in some Super Weapon/mech into our area to destroy us all (for closure) unless your planning to continue it sometime in the future when you do get an idea or maybe a redux.

-.-

Aaalllrighty then...

You know, a lot of us have put quite a bit of work into this. If other issues have come up, and you just won't have the time to GM, that's fine. We don't have any claim to your time.
But if it's just ideas that're missing? C'mon! Ideas are the easy bit! Gimme a few hours to think, I'll write you a PM chock-full of ideas.
And even if you want to quit, I've always wanted to try my hand at GMing. I probably won't do too well a job, but I thought it was better than letting this die.

Perhaps we can pull anj assault on Geneva itself? Or if it is going to end, don't just drop some rocks on us, have us fight the Titan or something epic like that.

If you've got some ideas... sure, why not?

EDIT: Okay then, thanks to the help of Geminex and Overcast, I have a new resolve for this RP. If people still want to play, then lets go.
