Welcome to Dystopia: The R-Evolution
Announcements

This thread will be used for announcements concerning the RP, Welcome to Dystopia: The R-Evolution. Anytime I have anything very important to say I will post it here. The same goes for you. If you are dropping out of the roleplay or leaving for a short period of time. Post that information here. So make sure to check this regularly. But, I will also make important post in the OOC. This is mainly for those RPers who do not post in the OOC or check it. There are links below to help you get to other areas of the RP and content listing to show you what all is in this thread. Also, if you are not part of this RP: PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE!

I'd like to know something, if it's cool to ask here. Is it absolutely imparetive that we read every last scrap of detail you've given us? I love the concept and everything about this cyberpunk world, but it is quite a bit. Also, this sounds familiar...where did you get this idea from? Thank you for your time. I intend to put up a few characters for RPing with, probably will form a pack of sorts with them if no one minds.

[Crooked Thoughts]

1. Well, Yes and No.

Yes: There is a lot of information relative to the RP and character creation. And I guarantee a lot of questions can be answered by simply reading. Already I have had people make mistakes and ask questions that would have been answered if they would have simply read through the different pages.

I'm not being a jerk or anything, which is why I answer questions and say "look here and there is your answer."

But, for the most part, the info is an easy read and not just one big block.

No: I don't require that you memorize all the info, just skim it. And not scroll down the page and say down, but really just look it over. And read things that may pertain to you and your character.


Not saying that you are a rookie or amateur RPer. But, usually the people who have to ask this question are the type of roleplayer that won't be good for this RP. I think I mention this exact statement somewhere in the ABOUT section of the main RP page...

2. Well, the bulk of the story is from a prequel to this RP called, The Program. Besides that, I drew a lot of inspiration from different sources. I have even had someone say this is like the tabletop RP AlphaOmega. Which is a compliment to me, because that RP is worlds apart from this one. But, really any dystopian style stories may sound similar to this one, even Judge Dredd reminds me of this RP; somewhat anyway.

• I just finished listing all the locations. There is a short description of each borough when you click on them as well as an enhanced image. Each image is just visual representation of how I picture the borough. Later on, I will begin adding other locations, like specific shops and things of that nature. So be sure to look over them, they will help when developing your character's origin and what not.
  
  
• When selecting the group your character is with. Be sure to note, that you do not have to be with one. Also know that you don't have to be part of Anarchy if your character wishes to go against The Guardian Act. And vice versa, your character doesn't have to be part of MurCORP or work for Simon Murphy to take on Anarchy.
  
  Also just because a group isn't listed in the Group Page, doesn't mean that is all there is to select from. You can create your own or be solo.
  
  
• If your character is a Celestine, try to stray away from the DES-47 formula. There isn't a lot of characters with the it, but I don't want it to become a problem. There are other versions. But, if you must choose it, then be aware that your character must suffer some way from having so many powers. Or at least don't have assortment of offensive powers and have mastered them all. Part of being a great RPer is learning balance. Keep that in mind.

[R3aper]

I'm glad you posted that. Was wondering how limited that particular one would be. Anyway, I'd like to state that I'm making a group (Since our good GM just clearly stated that we could do so) named Wolf Pack. They are dedicated to ending the Guardian Act by whatever means. They have only been active for a few weeks, so they are not well known and limited to a few people, but are insane as a general rule.

I will, of course, NOT do this if flysociety does not wish it to be. So I will wait on posting for your permission, Fly.

[Crooked Thoughts]

Yea its ok, but you might wanna get your character accepted first before you start working on the group. But, when do get to that point, you have to fill the app out below.

Character{S} actually. I have one pretty much complete, but I'd like to do them all before I send any, unless you'd like to do otherwise. To be clear I plan to have at least three to start, and maybe bring one more in later. They will likely always be together to lower the strain on myself as well.

I'd like to apologize for the posts, as my PM isn't working, and I'd be happy to go to that for these information exchanges. So yes, I'm sorry about this.

Announcement: 1/9/11

• I just finished updating the character and the player directories. They aren't completely updated as there are a few characters missing. So I will make the next update, next week sometime. So go take a look and if see any mistakes let me know and I will correct them.
  
  
• I also decided to gather some statics about the different characters of this RP so far. It basically just shows how many of what race and species or whatever we have. So if you were wanting to create another character, but wanted it to be unique and not like any other character, this may help. I may do one concerning equipment and personalities, but that will take a lot longer so I don't know.
  
  
• Usually on weekends I do a lot of maintenance work for my RPs, since this is the only one I am in, my time was mainly focused on this and RL issues. So now that I have finished updating the directories, I will be replying to any PMs and going over other submitted character sheets. Then I will go back to working on my own characters sheets.
  
  
• I see this RP starting probably around next week. There are still characters being submitted and others being reviewed. Plus I have yet to finish my own. So once that is all taken care of, we can begin. Until then, I suggest making connections with other characters and developing histories or maybe even side stories. When the RP begins characters shouldn't act like they are just meeting each other for the first time, when in the storyline they have known each other for years.

3 Things.

1. The gender ratio is very uneven. Upon looking, there are also some big gaps between ages as well. Not so important, but the gender ratio is. I might be making another character so...

2. The character summary for my character in the character directory says "404's/Hijack corps when it should be "404's/C.H.A.S.E. again, not very important.

3. If you want, I have the time, and I can do a statistic list of characters based on personality and age and stuff you didn't include.

[R3aper]

I felt that I should make this known here. This will be my group. Any changes that flysociety feels are needed will be made via edit. Contact me or Fly if you wish to be a part of the group.

Wolf Pack

"We will be free. If we have to be free with bloodied hands, thats just more fun."

A3

Guardian Act: Against.
Members:

• Jack
• Nao
• Zack
• Hedge
• ? ? ? ? ? ?
  Base of Operations: No real base. All operations are planned at the pack home; a Bronx appartment complex called the Santa Anna Complex, room 113
  Goal: Live as one wishes with the support of the Pack. Be free
  History: Wolf Pack was started, almost as a joke, by Jack and Naomi right after they started running together. It didn't mean anything right away, but it became increasingly more important to be part of a major group. So the duo made it official and started doing high profile jobs to get recognition. Soon after its formation, Hedge and Zack came to them with desperation, and the pack was raised to four members. Nowadays, the four are more of a group of friends that do commission jobs and assist other groups as a spec ops or black ops unit. If it involves high profile destruction or low profile hacking, they're the ones to call. WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS

Pic is on the way.

@Mirrazor:

1. Yes I know.

But, so is the Guardian Act.

A lot of characters are on the opposing side, but their view on the document is different. Most notably are the members of Red Society, who technically are neutral, but a lot of the members are against the act or are remain neutral. Then there are characters who are against Anarchy, but also against the document... It is all very confusing and intricate.

I would like to even up all the land slides, but NM I can do, except redesign the characters I have yet to enter.

2. Ok. I thought so.... I will fix it.

3. Actually, that would be great! You can PM me more about it.

@R3aper: Looks good. I will add it to the group info page.

[R3aper]

I have just updated the group information (Picture) and hope it works for you, Fly. I couldn't find a good one otherwise, and don't have the resources to make one, so this is all I can do right now. If you don't mind, could you copy the updated version and delete the last one completely? I've made a couple more changes, and would be greatful for the update.

Sorry I took so long with this. My next character is on the way.

Announcement: 1/10/11

• There are a few characters missing from the roster in the RP tab, but the Character and Player Directories are updated, so no worries. Just so you know those two characters are: Raefel Ekatsim created by Sonara Stone and Hedge created by R3aper. However, I think there may be one more character missing... So if you don't see your character anywhere, in the roster or the directories, let me know.
  
  
• Not that this is absolutely necessary. But, I would like it if everyone provided an avatar picture for their character. This is not required, but it would be appreciated. Even if it isn't a person, it can be something that represents your character. I just really hate seeing those gray spaces.

[Sonara Stone]

Hey all. My brother has broken his leg, and I'm having to stay at a friend's while he is in the hospital. So, for the next few days, I will be on in random intervals and amounts, or not at all.

Sorry.

[Mirrazor]

Ouch man. I broke my leg once. Not fun. :(

[Tyro]

Do we start posting yet?

Announcement: 1/18/11

• As you all may have noticed, I have been M.I.A. the last few days. This was due to RL problems. Its nothing I wanna get too in depth about, just know that it is dealt with and I am back. So I will be replying to PMs, going over character sheets, and updating the directories, then finishing my own sheets and some locations.
  
  
• When will this RP be ready to start?
  
  Well I can tell you better when it won't be starting.
  
  I know it won't be this week, since there are still major profiles being submitted and finished, including my own.
  
  Also for my own personal reasons, I never start RPs on the weekends. I have no real reason why, except, that is when I hangout with my friends and family. Plus, lot of other members have their own families, so I suspect they are doing the same thing. For the most part I only reply to PMs on the weekend -- rarely do I do any RP work on the weekends.
  
  So I estimate a start around next week around this time or the week following.
  
  
• I would like some notification of some sort from everybody to let me know you are still in this. Usually with long waits like the one this RP is going through, people tend to quit and dropout. Which doesn't bother me at all. Because if you can't handle being in a RP where you don't have to do anything, then how can you handle being in a RP where you have to keep up with post and reply weekly.
  
  I like to use RP delays to weed out the casual RPers from the dedicated ones. Its a lot better than waiting around for people to quit after posting an intro.
  
  
• I don't want to officially place a limitation on new characters, but I will definitely be more strict creatively. Though I would like for any new characters to be strictly FOR the Guardian Act or at least on that side.

[Crooked Thoughts]

Announcement: 1/25/11

• The answer to your question, is no. I have not been on another hiatus. I've been working on the RP further and finishing my characters. I have two more to do, which should be done by the weekend or at least a basic outline, enough for me to move on. Also if you would like to build a background with my characters let me know. As of now none of my characters really have any, except for Mac. I especially need one for my character Robert Grimes, leader of Grime Protection.
  
  
• I recently just sent messages out to people who expressed interest in the RP, but never submitted characters. Don't worry, the RP is being delayed because of them, I just wanted to see if they were interested still. I will also be sending messages out to those who have yet to post in the OOC, saying they are still interested in the RP.
  
  
• No matter what, the RP will start next week. I would like to have the intro post in on Monday, but I don't think it will be... People and characters will still be allowed to join/submitted, but I will of course be more strict towards creativity and what side they are on.

[R3aper]

I've been wondering about you, my friend. My leader, of Wolf Pack, Jack, is still in the works for history, and I'd like to have a connection to another group, hostile, neutral or otherwise. PM for details, though I warn you that my online time has been jagged at best. Will try to send Nao's filled out sheet later today or tomorrow. In a bit of weakness I lost interest in this for a while. If you would like outside ideas or input about the produced part of the RP, let me know. I'm here to help as much as I can, as well as to play.

[Crooked Thoughts]

Announcement: 1/31/11

• Is the IC finish?
  
  No.
  
  When will it be finished?
  
  Next week...
  
  Naw, I'm joking. But, the IC intro is done, but I won't be posting it till sometime later tonight or tomorrow. I still wanna go over it once more and edit it. Plus I still need to talk to a certain someone, to make sure everything is on schedule. So be ready to start posting tomorrow.
  
  
• Just a few things about posting. Since we will not be using the RP tab, and you can't select location, I would like for you to write the location above each post. Make it look something like this:
  
  

  Earth 2450 - New York City, New York - Manhattan - Times Square
  Random Building Roof Top
  Friday, July 4, 2450,11:30:00 A.M.

  
  
  
  • The first line is for actual locations I have listed.
    
  • The second line is for the location not listed.
    
  • The third line is for the date and approx time, your date should never be too far ahead of mine.
    
  • You can also add a fourth line for character.
  
  You don't have to have all 3 or 4 lines, all I really require is the first one. So here is another example using all four lines.
  
  

  Earth 2450 - New York City, New York - Queens - Santa Ana Complex - Room 113
  Hedge's Room
  Friday, July 4, 2450,11:30:00 A.M.
  Hedge

  
  
  
• If you have any ideas concerning the story/plot, it is better to share them. Like i you would like to see the story go a certain way or think a certain thing should happen. It is better to make it known to others, especially me, than to try to sway the story that way by yourself. This way it can be done properly, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of scripting in a RP.
  
  
• In case you haven't noticed, this RP has officially been given a review. A 20/30. Nothing too high, but it will be given a deeper review once posting has started. So I will ask for some more review soon enough, hopefully the RP can make the top rated list!
