Hm, things seem to have zombified again. I noticed that all our pirate/ship-based RPs have failed, yet they almost always had immediate activity. I think I may have found out the source of role-plays failing: lack of adversity.

Even in my role-plays, enemies tend to be nameless, faceless, and at times even pointless. I feel that enemies--and friendly NPCs--should be more integral to user-characters, the plot, and the subplots. I feel that a ship-cased RP works perfectly, because ships are also like a prison--if it fails, everyone goes down.

Here's what I think. We need an adventurous role-play on the seas, one that blends dangers not only from enemies, but also nature and sea monsters. The protocol of such a quest would be like this: a limited set of starting power/help amidst a perilous quest, which upon beginning, that's all we get.

Of course, the enemy will also have limited resources. It'll be like a joint operation of which users work together to overcome preset difficulties by the gamemaster, plus with chance-based threats, benefits, rewards, and progression--once in a while. If the main quest fails, we would then need to retreat back to the mainland and either restart or await an empowered foe.

I could easily set up a fantasy RP about this, but I might as well talk about it first, just in case.

To my American friends, I hope you are all well and safe. Things are getting crazy down in the States. Now is the time to make sure you store nonperishable food, medicine, water, and batteries just in case things get worse. Stay safe my friends.

Glad that you're safe, Annie.
I will try to post in Omega within a couple days from now. I currently work night shifts, and past couple days get about five hours of sleep each day before waking up and unable to fall back asleep. Working twelve hour shifts every night doesn't make things easier, so I just lack energy. Still, I'll try to get started within a few days from now, I just need a bit more time.
