Hello, I'm ARC and... I'm searching for helps.

I'm currently making a Starcraft Forum RP - not just because I'm very interested in it and passionate about it, I also CAN'T find any existing ones. :/ (If you know any please direct me to it lol)

I'm here to find interest, and to search for helping hands. I realized that one person can only do so much. Even though I gathered 2 friends, it's still not enough.

What I need is:

1. Beta Testers (Create a character and try things out, to see if the stats are too complicated, too imbalanced, or/and too free)
2. Questioners (Question all the "5W and 1H" whenever you see fit)
3. Builder (Help to construct the forum - coders are welcomed)
4. Fellow fans who're interested in this and willing to fill me up with your ideas (Worlds, plots, storylines, etc.)
5. Staffer (all of the above and would like to stick with me until the end)

If there's anybody whose interested, we can discuss here or you could PM me =3

arc assuming it's starcraft the game where you start an alien army and was at one point a big deal for gamers a long time ago....there are some but they're in korean actually but not a rp forum. google translate won't do you any good.

ermmm, just curious how you're turning starcraft into a forum rp if it is based on the game?

nexus Yes, I'm going to transform Starcraft the actual game into RP forums XD

I have having questions about that myself, until I stumbled into -This OOC Thread- and -its RP thread-... and ideas kept on formulating from there.

GMs will play a huge role in this, while the players have a choice to choose their path: whether to team up with other players for the same objective, or to destroy the other players.

Still, having RPed freely without stats for so long... I would prefer to RP out my battles rather than just basing everything on dices and GMs. Still, one person couldn't control the large scale of an army - and it'll be odd if you can actually control everything by yourself (even all the SCVs and all the mass Marines? Eh.). Rather than that, I somewhat established a system based on "You control a commanding unit. You formulate strategies and give orders to your army to do your bidding." Aside from that, your commanding unit has a thing called reputation - if your unit has low reputation and s/he doesn't even hold any ranks, your unit's army has a chance to not listen to your commanding unit... especially if they're stronger than your unit.

Yes, it kinds of contradicts with the actual game... but if we were to transform Starcraft into something like a novel, I'll be expecting betrayals and defections to happen. Who would want to listen to a commander that's new, weak, and stupid? Or if they're going to lose a battle, wouldn't they just run away instead of getting killed by the enemies? It happened a lot in the novels, and I expect this RP forum to work similar to that. =3

arc I see, so it actually is doable. The only thing is having a simple system so that just about anyone could join without having played starcraft. Of course you'll probably be implementing some of the elements from starcraft that might require some small guides, if not that's cool.

Although you'd probably have to include a units count in the profiles (ex. this person has x carriers, x ghost, x roach, etc.) but I see what you're planning on doing. Overall, it sounds complicated or at least complex and does require stats to an extent the very least. 8'D

(excuse me, i haven't played starcraft ever since 5th grade and dropped it when i moved to america. like i was a big nerd in korea about starcraft and now i forgot probs. just about everything lol)

nexus Yes, it actually requires a stat system. Essentially, it works like a game, but stats are not very important when you know how to, erm, RP your way out XD (0.1 difference is really not that much hahaha) For me, stats are mostly for NPCs 0w0

Buuuut you can choose to "have fun" around the stats XD There's not much "calculations" going on in here... not like "Your turn - you do this this this > success! > minus health points according to Damage - Armors" hahaha

Oh? You're a Korean? 0w0

arc Well I wish you luck on this! I'm too busy otherwise I might have lent a hand in one of the things you needed in the first post. It sounds like you know where you're wanting the rp to go and getting the mechanics all planned out so props to you!

Yeah, well technically half. T^T I miss korea so much it hurts.
