[Spinal_Taper]

I just noticed.

Your name is Spinal Taper, NOT Spinal Tapper.

...Was that a typo, or...If not, where the hell did you get the idea for "Spinal Taper" as a name from?

Also: I'd love to have a prologue-bandit-duel-to-the-death, and the winners get to play the game, and the losers go onto the wait-list. Would be great fun! Of course, it should be brain-dead simple, and just rely on luck.

It's a handle I chose at 8 years old for a runescape username. The character limit prevented tapper. But, I also have a question. I type up 3 paragraphs about an RTD I want to run, and you ask about my name?

[Caerwyn]

Sorry. It's late, and I was just a bit confused.

Funny enough, my username from Runescape was "Shadesttone". I would always have people asking me, "Why S(tt)one"?

I don't play it anymore, but...Eh.

Definitely an interesting RTD idea, but sadly, not really my type. I'm more into the whole boring "Generic fantasy" kind.

Actually, some day in the future, I may make an RTD based on the English nobility in the 1400's. Or some either date. Minor bits of magic, love, death, romance and intrigue; - I like those kinds of things.

Bah! It's 1:47 AM. I'm long due for sleep. I must bid you adieu, friend.

You could always ignore them; some people do. Or you could just let a lot of people submit characters and then roll to see who actually gets in. That sort of thing.

Better yet:

TO BATTLE!
Prologue in a scuffle in a bandit camp!

It's quite the fun way to handle it, and has precedent for the setting.

And we are now fast approaching 5000 posts.

PRIZE: Person who gets post 5k gets an Internet Cookie.

Of course, Bay 12 is too high-brow to resort to spamming just for the sake of getting the 5000th post.

[BlasterKyubey210]

Anyhow... unrelated to both matters, been looking at an RTD idea myself:

Theme - Magical Girl (-ish)

Tech Level - Sci-Fi (Blame Nanoha and Mai-Otome, being major parts of the setting, as well as the use of Deus Ex and Mass Effect, despite both series breaking the theme)

PCs - Alpha Centauri Humans against (initially) the Schwartz armed forces. Can choose to either become Nano-Auged (part of the Otome system or not being sub-branches), a non-Auged (various subbranches), or gain the ability to use Biotics

Primary PC Objectives - Survive against Schwartz at all costs, undermine their efforts to bring down the Otome system,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Find Helios AI and if possible dismantle it before the entire Otome System goes to hell

Secondary PC Objectives - Secret PMs sent to either help or sabatage the team (possibly secret spies for the various enemies, or the PCs in general having their own agendas)

Now I want to run something like the hero caddies RTD myself. XD

I'm thinking I'll do the anonymous deathmatch.  The people who expressed interest here and whoever signs up after I leave the thread open for a day will fight for ins and waitlist spots.  Thread will be up tomorrow or the day after.

[lawastooshort]

Oh I'd totally be in if it involved an anonymous deathmatch, Remalle.

[monk12]

*everyone shows up for anonymous deathmatch, leaves when game proper starts*

Naw, but I'll be keeping an eye on that.

[Caellath]

Someone should just keep an eternal anonymous deathmatch as a RtD. Maybe with a matches system.

Of course.

Alpha Centauri Humans
the Schwartz
Nano-Auged
non-Auged
Biotics
Otome system
Helios AI

Without being familiar with Mai-Otome, it's hard to figure out what exactly this game would be about. Magical girls battling aliens sounds interesting, though.

Secondary PC Objectives - Secret PMs sent to either help or sabatage the team (possibly secret spies for the various enemies, or the PCs in general having their own agendas)

Also interesting. Would this help or sabotage be on specific goals ("don't let anyone damage the complex," "make sure the Guardian's Light is scuttled") or more sweeping, general objectives ("help your friends," "murder your friends")?

Personally, I say stop keeping track. Make it so whoever posts the 5k post deserves it rather than just being faster.

High-brow meaning that we're classy? Well, that's why I love Bay12.

Style.

I wonder how it would keep on going, there must obviously be a driving force to it, as it seems that the concept has been tried before and burned out due to the heavy casualty rate without rewards reached. 

Meaning: I'm guessing the win-condition for the deathmatch doesn't have enough tension?

Posts must have quality other than spammability. Is better and more deserving.

Just tack on a reward, like shiny items the character can carry to the next match. Dunno. I just threw it in without muchany thought to it.
