    Sorta, my skills in such things are about equal to a drunk radioactive lycanthropic delusional schitzophrenic lobster with bad breath and a migraine.

    Hehe. Give me a day or too to reconfigure them to suit your needs. I have them linked up through our site.

    I'll rename a few topics. I can password protect them to stop other people from reading them.

    I'll provide a link if anyone wants to use my cheapo forums.

    @8people: Heh. I decided that I hate the layout of the current forums. so I'm scouting for a new look. Probably won't be for some time. But if the forums ever go down, then you know thats why.

    Sorry about my earlier stupidity, and the trouble people got in because of it: that plaque was well deserved methinks :doh
    I thought that the actaul rp place had been created, but it obviously hasn't.
    Does anyone think I could have a look at this map, I am intrigued by this idea.

    I'm all for the idea of lycnathropy wiping out tons of people but that also led me to another idea. See because tons of people were being infected and subsequently killed, a band of elves (starting with Silverwolf) learned how to protect themselves by learning to change into wolves themselves -- and so they lythari are born. I think that they might need a forest/grove to themselves though because people might still be a little afraid of them thinking that they are actually werewolves. How about a cherry tree grove? So thoughts anyone? Good idea, lousy one, anyone want to join?

    [​IMG] Hmm. Just a thought (reminded from the thread in CS)

    Do we bring items with us? If we do should there be a max as to how many items we can take? And should we take into account their size if we are allowed to take things?

    It's easy saying - max 12 items, but someone may struggle along with 12 sets of full plate mail while one my carry 4 lockpicks, 6 rings, and two bottles of water.

    How about just saying max 12 items (or how ever many) with a sensible weight. So some gaint maybe able to carry 12 sets of plate mail where a halfling wouldn't.
    Should we even have a max amount of items?

    Silverwolf, your idea, IMO, is fine as long as you know that the only way to get other members of your pack is to actually get other SPers to join. And we might not lycnathropy idea at all. I think that has still to be decided.

    Following a conversation with Lokken in the chatroom I'm starting to think that a very loose DM system may be a good idea. Just someone who is there to sort out the roleplaying messes that usually come up when dealing with free form. What do we all think?

    [​IMG] Maybe there should be a counsil or something that decides. That would probably work as long as nobody is biased :p

    A council wouldn't work to sort out problems, too slow. If roleplay takes a long time then people lose interest.

    [​IMG] Well - what if the first person on the council there deals with it or something?

    Maybe a few people who have some amount of experience in freeform RP or DMing (though the freeform RP one would be the most important) could go around setting up plots and whatnot for the other players to stumble upon, as well as sort out the messes. On important things that could change the Kingdom drastically they have to have a vote, as well as consult the mods/amins/important people.
    Of course, almost anyone can do the setting up of plots, but not all players seem to be good at this and tend to get a bit carried away with their own character, making it über.
    Maybe the players could have to request the DM's help in a thread for them to have any power there.
    Hmm, I think I'm ranting.

    Yeah, I agree, we need some sort of DMs to keep every thing working right. And I would say you, Aik, should be the DM. But I guess that was kinda obvious. How many DMs will we have? And how much control will they have?

    Nearly finished the history. Should be able to email it to Aik 8people and Velve to check by the end of this week. Sorry it's taken so long, I got a flu for a week or so and then I went on holiday so I've not really had much time.

    I suggest Lokken as a DM as well, as he has experience in both D&D style DMing and freeform.

    And does anyone have any idea about how to set up a website? :D

    I could be the DM and just control my character very little or none and with no advantages. I don't have very much experience but I know a lot in the theory. But if not, I'll keep killing enemies with my Snow-Elf PC instead.

    [​IMG] www.dot.tk - you can get free domains there. but you'll have to make the site on something like geocities.

    I can help with websites, I am quite good with HTML.

    I don't know if there'll be any free forums or anything that are any good - ProBoards.com? I don't know.
