Welcome to Gaia! ::

well you have already said my main seggestion which was the cantina one. ive always been a fan of the cantina's from playing SWG and also can see the effect they have its a gossip center lol.

i still think it should stay a ground based RP. i liked this idea since i first read it. and with the combat professions maybe limit them like you have but give abit more choice. maybe have a mob playing a Bounty Hunter. who has a office in lower coruscant. that RP'ers can hire out, and seeing as its a mod playing the role they cant let it get to out of hand.

also maybe have a undercity faction like in KOTOR its the exchange. could make it alittle intresting have a mob selling spice and other stuff on the blackmarket.

theres a couple of idea's i know there not amazing or anything but there you go atleast theres a post here now though.

In my guild i attempted to have a podracing season having people bet on racers and have day race winnings and the championship winnings, with a points system, due to the area the stry is taking place you could have some other type of gambling system or "race" thing tied in to the plot where people could win gaia money though it may actually be a distraction from the main plot as people may want to focus solely on that, im sure something could be made to work.

Storyline wise, i love the prologue to it. An idea dont know if it sounds good at all, the Dark jedi, being the way they are power hungry and stuff, wish to control the coproration, but do not want to outright war with them notice the group of rebels beggining to uprise, disguise themselves as lower class but of militant capabilities, secretly helping and advancing the skill and knowledge of the ragtag band to fight the corporation, enabling them to sweep it from under and claim as thier own with promises to the people of freedom and good life. on the other side the corporation housing its force sensitive children require teachings and knowledge for thier kids, having the dark jedi around poses an oppurtunity secretly creating 2 toxins, one that is used to infect the dark jedi, and accidentally someothers,and another they claim is a cure which in turn finishs the first poisons job killing the jedi by "crystallizing the host brain and all knowledge, (maybe a parasite or something) when removing the now crystallized brain chips of it are cut from it that can be read by a computer showing thier memories in this case thier teachings, then used to (matrix like) teach the children. Thinking they will have extremely strong loyal warriors, the dark side teachings, over ride and loyalty traing they had now creating a rebel army solely bent on destroying everything. thus you have a major war. The Rebel group fighting the Corporation for freedom, The dark jedi fighting the Corporation for power and now revenge, the corporation fighting a 3 front war, and the New Force Army fighting everything and anything.

Many options and paths can be tooken with this, Will the small rebel band stay united or break to help another side in the war. Did the Corporation really think their force kids would be fine or was thier a "factor" that caused it to go that way. will the Dark jedi suceed in fighting the corporation or find the new force kids a bigger threat or bigger oppurtuinity. Just a thought guys.

Slap me if this is already something the Guild is doing but what about I.D. I Was just looking around the guild and i saw no thread for I.D.'s but i have seen people with some S.W.(Star Wars) Stuff in there siggy. None of which match though. Anyway I.D.'s would be cool.

Oh and
MACE WINDU T.B.J(Token Black Jedi) IS THE BEST!!!!!!

I.D.s are the least of our worries, before you have id's we need active members, (a large group) which we have but not very active, to make them active we need an interesting and succesful RP, without that this guild is another chatterbox focused on SW.

Actually, the main point of this thread is ideas for developing an RP. sweatdrop

Okay, well, I'll get the ball rolling with an idea I'm curious as to whether you guys (and girls) would want.

Firstly, we go back to the whole Republic/Jedi vs Imperials/Sith storyline that we all know and hate. I have nothing more specific on that.

But! The main idea I wanted to shoot past you guys was the idea of "Heros" (or any other name for mainstream characters). Would you want a selection of famous characters scatterd throughout the place? They would rarely, if at all, participate in fights, but would serve as a "limit" for the strength any one character could reach.

For example: If your character was a Jedi, he could, in theory, become the strongest player character in the RP. However, Luke (an example of a possible Hero) would be far far stronger than your character, therefore limiting the amount you can bully your way through the RP.

Of course, with this idea, we'd have to be extremely careful as to when exactly in the timeline we were.

Feedback?

The leaders or Ones that we (the players) would run into should be the ones of high calibur, such as in WoW the guards walking around (though once past you can own thier asses. xd )

I think it should be like a mission based Rp. Keeping tabs on all players. The people making the storyline would create the a skeletal structure of tasks or missions that need to be complete. Those participating in get points, and furthermore those finishing said tasks and being a good Rper.
The points would accumulate to grant a higher rank or level above others also possibly granting access to skills or better weapons.
EXAMPLE

Dark Saber Mission.
(1) Participation--- 1pt. ((At Least 3 Posts))
(2) Successful Completion--- 3pts.
(3) Best Team Mate--- 2pts. (Must Complete Mission) ((Most Supportive))
(4) Best RPer--- 3pts (Must Complete Mission) ((Most Literate and Detailed)
(5) Hero--- 5pts (Must Complete Mission) ((Smartest, Skilled, Player)

This would influence those to participate to further themselves higher then others. This would also keep those non literate God moders from talents and abilities they shouldnt have in the first place. It also adds a nice twist and fun competitive expierence to it.

Judging would be by a predetermined number of judges who after the mission (which would be noted when done) will look at each players performances and grant the points. A Point keeper will also be needed along with a thread containing all Players and thier point standings.
EXAMPLE:

Yoda-------------- 1,820 pts Supreme Jedi Master
Luke Skywalker--------- 1,293pts Master Jedi
Kyp Durron------------ 748 pts Jedi Knight
Ben Skywalker---------- 234 pts Padawan

Missions wouldnt even really have to be announced they can be considered segments cut by the storyline makers so it doesnt seem dry and militarylistic...
