so... summer is coming, and i suggest we get a new roleplay game going. if you're interested pop your name down on this thred and offer any ideas for possible scenarios.
for anyone who is not quite sure how roleplaying goes, basically everyone picks a character, and you are put in a scenario. you work your way through it the best you can whilst in character. there are other rules and regs depending on the style of game which i'll post once we get up and running.
don't worry about selecting characters just yet, i'm just after an idea of who'd be interested and what sort of game.

i'm thinking its going to be doctor who/ chris characters/general sci fi. this way we can get in people from other places. i want to post on time and chips, but im waiting for pemission from the mods.
edit: i also forgot to mention before, that we have a general roleplay rules stuck at the top of this board. though i may add a few more, this is generally what we stick to. also the other roleplay games that are now finished (or just kind of came to a stop) are still on here if you want to have a read and see what sort of thing will occur.
edit II: we could get heroes in there... doctor who mixed with heroes?

jocose, good news, you're in control of your character, so if you want them to turn into a double crossing back stabbing fiend then thats up to you, as long as you have a reason for it. oh and i'll just pop in here that purplerhino is in too. just so all our names are in the same place

ooh love it!! Is that the banner for the header for the page? before I forget, any chance of an explain? I`ve read through some of the rules bit, and tbh I`m non the wiser (you know me slow on the uptake) If you write it for someone whos just landed from the planet Zog ...theres a chance I might get the hang of it-eventually

ok... you choose a character. now this is possibly the hardest part as people may be arguing about who wants to be who. so i suggest people now start saying who they want to be.
i iwll start off, introduce the scenario and my character, and then the next person posts an introduction for their character and so on. this means people can come in later in the game. its a bit like the carry on the story game. now the characters interact and a story forms. you can not control someone elses character unless you have permission.
for example
asimus posts: asimus is the ulmighty god of the webbernet and she is out trawling the web for fish Jocose posts: jocose is a small cuddly puppy. she spots asimus from the bushes and leaps out to scare her. asimus posts:asimus hits jocose over the nose with a rolle up newspaper and jocose falls to the ground...
etc.
if you want an interaction that involves both players it is advised to ask the other player before hand (via PM if you want to surprise other players).
this roleplay is more fun, because generally speaking we aren't making up our own characters, we are taking established characters, and therefore everything we do must remain in character.
i know one person is creating their own character, i'm happy for people to do that, but if they do can they do a complete introduction in this thred so that we know what is and isnt in character. its not so fun when you get into a real sticky situation and a made up character suddenly develops the power to fly away.
the main thing is to use your imagination and have fun. take it where you want to take it, but beware, you aren't in control of other characters so they may surprise you. lol
if you still feel unsure don't hesitate to ask more questions, or when the interactions start i don't mind if you watch for a bit to see whats going on.
edit: oh and if your character has any crazy toys please let us know. and also if you like your character can come with another character. for example last time i played the doctor but no one was rose. rose was still there but no one was in charge of her. this means everyone can move them around, however they do in essence belong to the person who arrived with them, so please ask permission before you kill them or impregnate them with your evil alien spawn...
editII: oh and i'd love it if someone was chris doctor and someone was david doctor cos that woul dbe hilarious. i would be up for playing #10. (i think thats me staking my claim, but if anyonne has any major problems with that please say)
i think i'm gonna say start letting us know hwo your characters are now, so that there are no fights when we come to interaction time!
[glow=red,2,300]so me... 10th Doctor[/glow]. if no one wants to be rose, it would make more sense for me to have her than #9 cos then she'd know both characters. however it would be awesome if someone played rose.

If you need a Rose, I wouldn't mind being her.
Equally if you need a 9th Doctor, but I prefer Rose cause she makes more sense to me. I'll be the 9th Doctor if you need him to get it up and running though.

Hello! I'm here from Time and Chips! I wouldn't mind being Jack, or Ianto... or Gwen... if you're doing Torch-verse... man, decisions are hard! I think I'll probably wait for more people to chose, and wedge myself into a spot not yet taken.
