Author Topic: "Endangered Species" Roleplay  (Read 5018 times)

Endangered Species

Endangered Species is a serious roleplay server that's set in 'post-apocalyptic'
Mid-Western U.S. And yes there are zombies. (I know it's not original but I started working on this like a year ago and even so there are no good zombie RPs)
The three main forces are the Survivors, Military, and Terrorists.

Survivors
The survivors (everyone who didn't fall to the plague and who's also not military or terrorist) are a very diverse group. Some travel in groups, some prefer to only take care of themselves. Either way, they all fight a hard battle- the battle of survival. If they didn't have enough to worry about regarding food, water, and shelter, the infected and other hostile survivors will make sure they don't have an easy life.
The survivors are the only playable class for starting players.

Military
The military is a very local somewhat ragtag militia, but they have a lot of power due to their relative organization and advanced weapons. They're not always prevalent, but when they are they do their best to govern the survivors as best they can, often resulting in conflict. Their true purpose is to defend against the terrorists.

Terrorists
Not much is known about the terrorists, as they make few appearances and leave behind no information. They're a hostile group and their sole purpose is apparently to kill all survivors. They come and go swiftly but they make their presence known, as they kill all they can without mercy. Much about them is hidden behind their armor. They are a surprisingly organized and uniform group for one with such a seemingly barbaric cause. Their organization but scarcity suggests that they are dispersed around the region or perhaps the entire country.

Rules: The rules are posted in the spawn area and I'm not going to repeat them here, but know that if they are broken the punishments are harsh. I'm a lenient person but I'm not very forgiving, and like every admin I have to be relatively strict to maintain a fun server for the people who actually deserve it.
In other words pretty much all bans are permanent, but if you correct yourself you can talk to me or another admin and it might be repealed.
One of the most important rules is the New Life Rule (NLR).
If you die you die. That character is done. Doesn't matter how you died, make a new character. There are a few exceptions including if you're killed outside of roleplay, for example if you're randomly killed by some nooby deuche-bag.
Another important rule is participating in fair combat. It's real-time, but killing a player (like actually killing their player model) is illegal. I understand accidents happen, but you only need to shoot a player once to incapacitate them. This means, if you're shot, you MUST roleplay it. don't take a bullet and keep shooting. That doesn't mean your character is dead, but you're at least wounded. So stop fighting.
And obviously don't be an starfish and go around shooting people with no legitimate reason. You should be very hesitant to shoot or hurt anyone.
The rest of the rules can be read in the spawn zone.

You don't have to, but you can post character bios in the comments cuz it's fun! Write their information and post their inventory (use http://innawoods.net/)

I hope you come check it out some time... You'll appreciate the build I'm sure :)

Most interesting RP I have seen.


Saying zombies are unoriginal now is not necessarily true considering the entire zombie fad died down.

It was thought when the whole Bluzone II thing came out.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or what..

Yeah I think my purpose with this is just to make a good RP for people who like them because imo they're extremely rare.

So, uh, when do you start hosting?

Probably later today. I would start now but I'd like for Arvina and arbys to be there for the first session

God dammit. Id rather play an RPG about this with an actual point.
But I understand that level of work is just too much for most people..

What's the "point" of an RPG?

What's the "point" of an RPG?

Normally RPG's have objectives like quests that advance a story line and goals to achieve. Getting better weapons, getting to the next zone, getting enough money to afford something, completing the series of quests to unlock a new area. Its a progression to achieve in the game. RPs are where you pretend thats happening.

And RP is just the Role Play, and RPG is a Role Playing Game.
One is missing the game.

Well this has a story, and as it progresses new areas are opened. (and as I build more (four new areas are planned and two are already in progress))     (there are currently three areas)
The real difference between this and an RPG like you're talking about is that this requires cooperation between players. In an RPG you're only focussing on yourself, and getting better weapons. (first of all this has a very small emphasis on weapons, and guns are difficult for players to get) In this you roleplay with other players, and the story unfolds itself naturally, and new areas open themselves up.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or what..
I wasn't

I wasn't
Oh :)
Well I really appreciate the support

Also, I might host later today if enough people can join!
3 or 4 hours from now is probably when I would.
Please post if you can/would join. If not, don't worry about it!
