So this is a new 'Build a city!' Thread. The now very-dead one is found
Here. THe rules are below and should be very simple. No Artifacts. Major events have to be proposed and if people disagree 3 times in a row then it isnt canon. Major events would be killing off more than 10% of the population, killings of named characters. or anything that would be pretty out of the ordinary.
We also have no setting! How can we build a city without a time period, genre, or environment? Post some ideas! Like this:
Proposed name: X-ville
Proposed time: Middle-ages
Magic: YES/NO: YES
Gods: YES/NO: YES
General area: The city will be coastal, with a tropical forest nearby. The tropical forest contains a tribe of natives. The natives are friendly. The area is untamed.
SettingRules
Each poster (that wishes to) may post a Chronicle. An account of the activities and the going's on of the town and it's members. A "Chronicle" covers a 1 month and period but they may be longer under some circumstances. You may make anything occur that you wish but please obey the following guidelines before chronicling:
1) No artifacts. Artifacts are unbelievably rare in the universe. Most adventurers will go their entire careers without ever seeing one.
EXAMPLE-RIGHT: Bob buys a periapt of wisdom from the mage
EXAMPLE-WRONG- Bob kills the evil mage and pries the Sword of Kas from his dead hands
2) Major events (zombie invasions, dragon razings, disintegration of major characters) should be proposed, rather than enacted. You would post a "proposition" at the end of your post if you wanted to do something huge with a rough outline of what you wanted to happen. The NEXT poster would then be able to decide if they thought your major even was truly warranted. Thusly for any event to occur it would have to be seconded, which would hopefully severely reduce (if not eliminate) the need to debate canon.
EXAMPLE-RIGHT: "Proposition" I think it would be interesting for Bobville to be raided by a squad of Hobgoblins
EXAMPLE-WRONG: Bobville is raided by Hobgoblins and dozens die in the ensuing melee. Also, everyone is now a Vampire.
3) Any poster may preceed the body of his post with the word "STOP". This means that he has taken serious issue with some event posted in the last chronicle. Further posts should not be made directly chronicling the town's events until the issue has been decided as either canon or non-canon. Without my posting an event can be considered "decided" if three consecutive posts are made in agreement as to whether or not the event is canon excluding the original poster of the event.
EXAMPLE-RIGHT:
Poster 1: Everyone is now a Vampire
Poster 2: STOP. That is ridiculous
Poster 3: I agree. The vampire thing is stupid as hell.
Poster 4: I agree. And thats three of us so it's out. Next person can chronicle without it.
EXAMPLE-WRONG:
Poster 1: Everyone is now a Vampire
Poster 2: STOP. That is Ridiculous.
Poster 1 again: VAMPIRES ROCK IT's CANON!
Poster 1 again: It's Canon!
Poster 1 again: It's Canon!
Poster 1 again: OK. Now that everyone's a Vampire........
There is 3 types of character in this world: Heros, Special and Commoners.
Hero: Heros are the strongest of all people. They are the kings, the leaders and the adventurers. There should be only one of these per 50 people living in the town and they should will be proposed before going into town.
Special: Special characters are the people who are a better than commoners but not as good as heros. they are: Entertainers, Guards, priests etc. They basicly have a better role in town. You can have more of these but no too much (say 5 for every 50)
Commoner: Commoners are the bulk of the population. they are: farmers, sheperds, labourers, etc. The rest of the population will be these people. They come in familes of 4 unless decided on something else.
