I've got a new one going now though, you should join in again.

Well, sadly I've been growing out of simple RTDs.

Though... I can't really say no considering there's only one RTD I'm a player in that is active.

Ahh, I'll give it another go. Why not.

[Spinal_Taper]

Hey, whatever happened to that RTD guide we were talking about cooking up?

>Token Credit based economy, also based off of Piecewise. Your performance on the battlefield will determine how many credits you gain, which can be purchased on weapons and equipment.

You might want to formalize who exactly is making this decision. In ER, AM would probably give different payouts than Steve does, for instance, and you might have similar issues here. Is it a politician concerned about looking good above all else? A berserk general who wants to see dead aliens and nothing but dead aliens? Someone more balanced and competent?

Basically, some things are going to be subjective in how good or bad they were, especially as tradeoffs (ie rescuing wounded teammates vs chasing wounded alien) so it'd be best to have some kind of unified viewpoint for resolving that.

Given that the funding came from an amalgamation of companies, the determining factor could even vary during the game!  Technocrats running the show?  Finding artifacts is the ticket to payday.  Military hothead in charge?  Kick some alien butt.  Hippies?  Resolving conflict without collateral damage.

Same thing that always happens: I got lazy.

Plus, I had difficulty describing things without getting massively long-winded. I'll try some more sometime.

I think you mean countries (except possibly if you're talking about Apoc), but that's not a bad idea, actually.

Time to pull my thumb out and update my RTD. I actually have some computer time for once.
It's annoying, though; whenever I've been reading up on relevant topics, feeling all inspired and such, I don't have time to update. Whenever I'm tired, lazy and unhappy, that's when I get a decent amount of time on here.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm right there with you Yoink. I'm too busy to be on the computer much these days and when I am there's other stuff I need to do and I can't seem to find any time to work on my own RTD.

[MonkeyHead]

I know the feeling...

[ExKirby]

Back up to the front page we go!

KINGDOM OF LOATHING RTD. SOMEONE. NOW. PLEEEEEEAAASSE.

It could go on for a long time.

Sure it would be complex, but the GM could just study the wiki a lot, and the players would keep track of their meat, equipment, inebriation, and inventory in general.

Although, it would contain many spoilers if it's going to be a Story Mode-esque RTD, with the option of an extra ascension for players that make it all the way.

[Tarran]

Dude, stop begging everyone again and again to make an RTD of that. If you want it, make it yourself unless someone else volunteers. Since this is the third time you've asked, I'd say no one volunteered.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Hey, sorry man. I never meant to bother you. I just can't do it myself, unless I drop a couple of my RTDs. Which I might just do. I'm a newbie to it, so I don't know too much about KoL.

Actually, would any veteran KoL players be willing to Co-GM said RTD with me? This'll be the last time I ask about it.

[Darvi]

Define "veteran".

[Greenstarfanatic]

Well, anyone who finished the game a few times. Done a few Ascensions. I haven't finished one yet.

[Spaghetti7]

Hey there y'all, I was just thinking of trying to start up another RTD, but thought I'd best run it by some people before I take the plunge.
It'd be a futuristic space-based setting, when humans have begun to colonise the rest of the solar system. To give a vague idea of the time, colonisation has occurred all of the way to Pluto, but anything like jump gates haven't happened yet.
The game would work a bit like another game I saw, whereby some players are present on a larger ship, and others drop to planets to perform tasks. I've thought life might get boring for the people on the larger ship, so each episode would have an event taking place there too. Here is the player list I was thinking of:
Large Ship:
Pilot, Head Engineer, Security and 2 secondary pilots (to fly smaller craft such as fighters and bombers). There would also be NPCs to liven things up a tad.
Planet Squad:
This would be a team of 4, consisting of something like an Officer, Heavy Weapons, Medic and Engineer (of the computer, hacking variety).
As a quick summation, how does that sound? Also, if you need more information just ask, and I can make it up on the spot for you.

I'm sorry, but that just brings TF2 to mind. Speaking of which, has anyone ever had a TF2 RTD that lasted a while?
