Re: New klingon forum based RPG, "Empire of Warriors"

[Klythe]

Unfortunatelly this project won't happen now, as i won't work for this board anymore due to personal differences.

but i found this here a still very active Sim, but i still think a slight different version is an good idea. see end of post..

Klach D'kel Brakt Space station and IKS meH'Haj are 2 very active Bravofleet simms  that can be found at KDB Forums .

We have over 40 members with more they 5 years of continuous simming expirience. We hope to see you among our members.   There are currentl several other ships available for command from b'rels to negh'vars so if you are interested in commanding one let me know.

Please check out our forums and see for yourself KDB Forums  

The problem is to find a host, and as there already was a discussion here on the board about it i thought of you all here. what do you think  (all of you in general and the owner/admin especially  )



so. the idea is a forum based rpg, similar to the above quoted, only that the structur is different.

it would be instead of topics/missions, static rooms, like sickbay, security, bar.

i will demonstrate that on the security part.

there is

Security
-- brig
-- offices
-- training
-- ......

that system works actually pretty good in the german version for 3 years now. if a subtopic like main office gets too much threads, the topic is closed and a new one is opened, like main office II.

if there is some rare event, a new room can be opened, like a "meeting during first contact" (or so) which can be closed afterwards or lay dorment till another first contact occurs.


at the moment there are the following topics ingame in the german version, which I would say are essential for a good play:


outside of the station

central station
-- ship yards
-- OPS/ bridge
-- docking area

promenade deck/ shops
-- Holosuites
-- bar
-- office
-- shops

academy

security
-- brig
-- offices
-- training

support/logistics
-- technical
-- logistics

sickbay

(Klingon Intelligence Agency) not very activ 

development department

quarters



aditional we have

topic for polls
background chars
forum rpg - recruitment


and the off game topics which are here as well. We only have non-canon chars, as we never actually mention any time, also we are playing post yovager/dominion war.

[Tedra_deArr]

Okay then a bit about the timeline and the station itself

It would be base around or after Nemesis, means the Dominion War is over and the Empire at peace with the federation. They still are enemies with the romulans, but not in open war. this is the time of Maroks Rule (or the councelor after him) The base would be a military station nothing civil, also there could be shops (maybe run by other races). At the moment ther is peace, but this is an outpost, so there will be danger and new foes enough to satisfy everybody.

The time was chosen, as it is the easiest one, means the most information known about the klingons is from around that time and we have the use of the known weapons and all little technical things which make the life easier and of course the ships, which their powerfull technology.

edit: in which area on the border of the klingon empire the station will be is still to be discussed.

[Tedra_deArr]

alright, lets keep going....

starting with the positions on a space station, as i need some filled before the actual forum implementation will take place

Here the positions to be filled:

Command Officer	pos. open
-> First Officer	Klythe (klingon)
--> Bridge Officers	pos. open
Chief of Operations	Mara (klingon/terran)
-->Technicians	pos. open
--> Maintenance Officer	pos. open
--> Main Promenade Officer	pos. open
Chief of Security	KoraS (klingon)
-> Assistant Chief Security	pos. open
--> Promenade specialist	pos. open
--> Security Officers	pos. open
Strategic Operations Officer	qoSagh (klingon)
Chief Medical Officer	Jennifer O'Conner (bajoran)
-> KMH (klingon medical hologramm -> klingon female appearance  )	(played by SoplaHtaHwI')
Chief of Science	pos. open
--> Science Officers	pos. open
Command of Shipyards	pos. open
--> Shipyard Officers	pos. open
Chief of Personell	bvoq (klingon)

several Civilists, Diplomats,Bartender, and bad guys  

whatever you wanna play, tell me and I will add it into the list, as well if you have any other position of which you think it should be filled, doesn't matter how small the position is. There is no posting timeframe so if you only can write once a week, fine. I think there is room for some other species as long as they are neutral to or allies of the klingons.

edit: if any questions regarding positions, just ask 

[Klythe]

edit: in which area on the border of the klingon empire the station will be is still to be discussed.

    Yes, let's discuss this.   Who do we want our enemies to be...   Federation boarder is probably way to quiet.  The Romulan Boarder?   Cardassian/Bajoran Border?   


    I'll pretty much be playing a Duty Officer, so I'll fill whatever role the Station Commander requires.

[Jennifer OConner]

Does that Forum already has a sickbay or can I create one?

[Tedra_deArr]

at the moment there is no play forum yet and no sickbay, just a job collection. please wait and don't create anything as klythe will do so when we have enough people to participate.

mfg

[Klythe]

     I didn't say don't create anything!  By all means create away.  I just don't want to create a whole much of empty forums until I know people are ready to fill them.  In the mean time feel free to create new threads here in the main forum.  If you know you'll want them moved to a certain forum oncce they are built, put that in the thread title.  For example-

Sickbay: CMO's office:  Introducing Jennifer O'Connor

or

Promenade: Holosuites:  The Adventures of the Furry Forest Sargh Rider

[KoraS]

hmm then i can already move in..... 

[Tedra_deArr]

number 4.....

[Kehlan]

Can I apply for the position of Chief of operations for the character I will be playing.  Kehlan is already occupied as a  ships' captain so I will mostly be playing her identical twin sister Mara who is a commander in Starfleet.

[KoraS]

for all the newstarters i will post some basic writing/playing rules tommorow/wednesday

mfg

[Klythe]

   Your suggestions are appreciated Koras, but this is Tedra's game, so any rules will need her approval before they are rally rules.  Maybe we can all discuss what we would like the rules to be.

[Kehlan]

I think what KoraS had in mind was some basic instructions for people like me who have never done this type of role play before and I made a pretty basic mistake when writing.
I am used to writing full chapters and this style is very new to me.  Any advice from the more experienced gamers would be appreciated as at the moment I have no idea if I am doing it right or not.

I think the simplest rule is: don't kill any of the main characters.
For the rest I'd say: read and react... communicate PM where you deem it necessary.

That's basic for me 8-)

Anyway: can I be EMH? I might be male IRL, but I think I can manage a female Klingon... 8-)
If not, Command of Shipyards sounds good...

hmm you can be whatever you want, EHM is a more supporting role and only quite activ after battles, Command of Shipyards is busy all the time with repairing and improving ships, sometimes even designing and building new ones. your choice, if you want, you even can have both, as the EHM is not very active most of the times. but maybe it is especially fun to annoy the bajoran doc  

[SoplaHtaHwI']

the EMH is my first choice...
I played a schizofrenic Klingon EMH once, that escaped through the hologrid on the station.
It is very much fun...

[Tedra_deArr]

done, jennifer  now just has to activate you, i will write her.

There's a good question: wasn't the EMH to be activated as needed? That would suit me so much... 8-) Or does the CMO have to test the EMH?

[Kehlan]

So, who is going to be the captain?

[SoplaHtaHwI']

So, who is going to be the captain?

NPC? 

[KoraS]

don't know, the first officer doesn't react anymore too. 

thats what i call stuck with a char....

[Klythe]

   Sorry about that.  I never asked to be the first officer, I wanted to be just a fill-in duty officer.  But if that is the duty thrust on me then I will do my best to serve until a more suitable player challenges me for it.


    I was going to respond and found that I misunderstood some of your previous posts so I stopped to rethink and have been too busy to start again.  Since I haven't had internet at home for this week I've been limiting what time I spend at work to mostly moderation duties.  Believe me, if I had time, I'd keep up with this RP and get my own RP going.

No worries. I am sure a captain (or would the one be a commander, maybe with a captain's rank) will present one's self.
Until that time, let's just keep it that the captain/commander hasn't arrived yet. The one can explain oneself once the one arrives.

(that's a paragraph worth at least a 5...)

[KoraS]

my opinion, and there is now rush, i just wrote a comment before my post in the security office that it plays after the encounter with you so we have time to paly it to an end. if you need clarification, just pn me, still english isn't my native language so misunderstandings can happen.
