Guys, something's just occured to me

Anything goes, but if you take an idea from here, you have to credit the thread.

Has anyone actually done this ever

[Dermonster]

Nope.

[Tarran]

Most likely because not many people take ideas from here. At least as far as I can tell.

I don't know as I've ever taken an idea from here that I didn't pitch myself- Haunted Mansion: Better Name Needed RTD will be the first. I may or may not credit this thread, I don't know as it needs the publicity. I'll certainly credit Baldman, without whom my current round of terrible decisions would not be possible.

There has to be a trophy room, definitely. And the cellar has to have lots of wine in it.

Also, what's that red triangular unmarked space? Just bricked up or a chimney?

Finally, that's going to be a pretty unusual-looking mansion.

From looking at floorplans online, weird angles like that tend to get squared off just to keep the room from having a ludicrously sharp corner. I'm sure it's used for pipes and electricity and the like and nothing sinister at all, I promise. *cough*

There is a certain logic behind the shape of the Mansion, which may or may not be explained in play.

Should probably have a creepy faces room. Hallway full of paintings, room full of busts, just anything that's probably supposed to be classy or cultured but makes you wonder why they would ever make something like this during a rainstorm.

And yes, definitely a trophy room. Maybe even two! One for tribal relics and possibly strange puzzle boxes, another for stuffed animal heads that staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare at you while you're trying to enjoy the fire in your big red chair. Also a musket over the mantlepiece, naturally.

Ugh, no trophy room can be a trophy room without that plush red carpet and the sidetable for that nice mug you've always been wanting to drink from but couldn't.

Also, a glass case. Because nothing is better to display your possessions than a breakable glass case!

Yesssss. Upstairs will definitely have a creepy painting hallway, and I think I'll stuff the Study and Lounge with all that crazy 1900's Eldritch Gentleman Adventurer crap. I'm currently working on detailing descriptions of each room and the contents within.

Maybe an indoor pool, sauna, or jacuzzi? Something of that nature, anyway.

The first draft had the Ballroom actually being an indoor swimming pool, which is why the main toilets are next to it. Ultimately decided to go with the stuffier rich guy equivalent to play up how old the Mansion is.

Alright, Roll to Time Travel has been posted.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Hmm... One thing about old mansion rooms is that the kitchen is huge but the actual cooking space is compact compared to the EXTRAVAGANT dining hall.

You know, the Old Chateau in Pokemon (gen IV) had a nice little easter egg. The dining room had a ghost appear, then you went and searched the trash can- got an antidote. You could also get a healing item, some kind of food I think.

It leads you to think that the people who dined there were poisoned.

So, I'm going to be starting up the Maicka RTD soon, and, as OREOSOME has Pre-Inned, he gets first choice on robe when I put the thread up. The actual game will likely take a bit to actually start up, as I'll have to make a few maps, in order to show who is where, etc., etc.

But the real reason I'm here is to ask how one would make a poll?

[10ebbor10]

Depends on what you want to do. Just remember that you never ever will get rid of it.

Anyway, about pitching ideas.

Over the top: A trench RTD.

Four soldiers, their captain and their leutenant need to try and survive the horrific conditions of the trenches. World War I was a disastrous war, but no fate is a more certain death than being sent over the top to attack the enemy lines. Aside from not being send to their death's, all characters need to accomplish another goal. Finding something to eat (rat), finding something edible to eat (probably rat), or even finding something tasty to add (rat with pepper and salt) or other nessicities for human survival.

Organisation is similair to Iawatooshort's Priest RTD. Each episode, there's one captain, a leuitenant and four soldiers. Points can be accumulated, and hopefully you won't get shot.

[lawastooshort]

Yes ebbor that sounds nice and is a good idea.

And I also thought aha Blackadder.

[freeformschooler]

I've seen poor lawas spelt that way several times, so just in case anyone forgets, it's LAwastooshort.

Because la was too short of a username.

[lawastooshort]

heehee thank you ffs. I'm too polite to tell anyone myself

Sounds interesting. The waitlist turnover time would probably be fast because even if guys are injured seriously they'd have to be taken off.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I sort of want to run a futuristic moonshining game.

Different locations offer different bonuses/challenges, and players in the same location can help each other... or hinder them if they really wanted to, but that's bad for business.

Three different systems in the game can be upgraded/added to to make your still the best.
1.Stealth. This determines how detectable your still is, and how likely it is to be found if there's anyone in the area.

2. Weapons. If your still is found or depending on threat on your "embark", you'll probably have to fight for it rather than go to jail. You're just as well armed as the police, if not better, once you're really up and running.

3. The still itself. I don't know anything about a still other than it makes booze, and involves a coil where alcohol vapor goes through it and is cooled by water. That would require studying. However, the futuristic setting allows for much more technology to be used, such as ice or even liquid nitrogen cooling, at the least.

---

The end result is a run of moonshine. Each part of the still affects the alcohol, and the end product is named and given a number depending on run (01 being the first, 02 the next, etc.)

The goal is to not get caught and save up enough money to open a "legitimate" distillery.

If you can open a legitimate distillery than why would people want to buy a product that could make them go blind?

Cigarettes are legal.
