First off thank you all so much for your support! Sorry for switching journal sites on ya it was just easier for me this way. I'll just quickly introduce myself before getting to the point. You can call me Mel or Meru. I'm just an unemployed college student. I'm going to come out and say I don't have much experience in game running so please bare with me as things get settled. If for whatever reason you want to contact me I can be found on AIM under the name meruberri.
/uses same name everywhere.
I'm trying to not simply clone Dirty Vegas. Let me know if I failed in this regard. orz
Now on to what you came here for...
GENERAL INFO!- Comm-based. Personal preference.
- I like monthly HMDs.
- and weekly state of the game reports
- weekly item drops
GENERAL QUESTIONS! how should the technical side of things work?
- do we want to let the dudes in if they come from a world where they're chicks?
- how much plot do we want?
- do we want to make sex mandatory or should relationships just develop naturally?
- if mandatory how should that be handled?
- just encourage it with rewards? What kind of reward? Maybe the drops?
- should OCs be welcomed? I personally love well written OCs. Canon OCs I'm iffy on but if enough people want them, why not?
- yay or nay on a magical communicator device?
- Livejournal, Dreamwidth or mysterious third option?
- Death; how should this be handled? penalty?
- how to respawn?
- Location, location, location... I'm getting that people would prefer a temperate zone? Where oh where should it be?
If we keep with the Northern Exposure angle Roseline mentioned Florida as perhaps a better place to start over but after Cicily died she went to Europe and probably died fighting the fascists in Spain. ...actually now that I think about it
Spain might be a
cool setting.
PREMISE! I don't know how many people remember this show but I personally love it. Back in the 90s there was a little show set in Alaska (it wasn't actually filmed there) called
Northern Exposure. It was about a little town called Cicily. This town just happened to have been founded by a lesbian couple searching for a place of acceptance and to create their own Utopian society. Rosaline and Cicily sought to create a place where art in all its forms and beauty would be valued above all else. They also celebrated pagan holidays.
1. we could have our girls deposited/end up in an abandoned town in Alaska (or we could change the location) think turn of the last century. Some buildings may be in need of repair but everything is there and functioning it just needs someone to run it.
2. this place exists outside of time. After Roseline disappeared this place, her perfect artists' paradise, was borne. While she never tried to create a man-free zone in the show, perhaps that is what went wrong? Or she has become completely disillusioned with them.
Now I'm pretty big on loose settings. It's far more fun to let the players shape things so even if we end up with a plot it won't be on any kind of strict schedule so relax.
GETTING FROM POINT A TO C
As for how a character gets here I have a couple ideas: 1. we could leave it up to the player.
- plane crash
- lost in the woods
- sounded like a neat place
- hot lesbian action!? sign me up!
Stuff like that. Just whatever excuse you can come up with.
2. They could receive a letter inviting them to take part in a social experiment.
- Included will be a map and a compass. good luck!
If we do go this way I'll need help hammering out the mechanics of how it would work. Who did this? Why? Are they keeping tabs? How?
3. Something called them here.
STAYING AT CAMP/GOING HOME?
Once there how should we keep them?There is simply no plane home is all I got right now. But this poses a problem with eventual drops.
OUTSIDE CONFLICT?That's the thing, other than the wildlife (wolves, bears, moose) and the harshness of an Alaskan winter I don't know of what else that can make life difficult or create an overarching goal.
Anon was saying it wants GUNS, ACTION, BOOBS.
well, there should be plenty of boobs and you can go hunting beyond that I'm not sure.
I WANT TO GET INVOLVED!
thank you thank you thank youAt this point in time I am most desperately in need of a co-mod or two if you're interested please leave contact info and tell me a little about why you'd make a good mod.
FEEDBACK GREATLY WELCOMED AT ANYTIME!
feel free to stalk this journal. I'll be updating it with ideas for this as they come.
