Author Topic: I.M.S. Cyprus - Space RP *CHARACTER ROLLING*  (Read 5924 times)



IMS Cyprus is a newly commissioned shuttle for the Intergalactic Coalition. The mission is simple, go from point to point across the universe and accomplish tasks set forth by Head Command...

At least, that was the plan. After a routine mission to dock a nearby asteroid mine, misjudged calculations led the ship straight into the oncoming path of an asteroid, and the ship's FTL drive and trajectory systems were damaged. In an unfortunate twist of fate, the ship entered warp speed for twelve minutes before the situation was handled and the damages were fixed. The issue is that they were some 5,000 light years into syndicate territory.


This is a server that will take place inside a spaceship and sometimes outside of a spaceship. You will start in cryogenics every round and will have to choose your role in the ship. Everyone has only one life, save for the cloning pods that can be used to bring back the dead. Beyond that, the round will end when everyone is dead.

With the setting, there is no communications with head command, nor will anyone outside the ship be your ally. Survival will depend on you and your shipmates.


The server won't be going up for a little while, to prepare for things. Until then, here's the rundown for jobs you will be able to perform:
Engineering
Engineers handle repairs, maintenance and general spaceship things.

Medical Staff
The medbay staff handle cloning, healing and the lab/science areas. The lab is prone to have strange happenings so the job is quite dangerous.

Security
Security is in charge of keeping everyone alive and everyone who is evil in the brig. Firearms are usually issued since you're in bad guy territory.

Custodial Services
Janitors, chefs and botanists. Your job(s) are to make sure people are happy, well fed and living in a safe environment.

Contractors
Basically your catch-all group of people who are usually integral parts of the crew.


Space law:
1. There is no such thing as RDM - Don't complain to any admins about it because if you die, you're forgetin dead kid
2. There is no such thing as a bad name. This is the future and everyone has strange names
3. People who go out of their way to be annoying will be shot and killed
4. Threatening to hack the server will result in you being shot and killed
5. Attempting to ERP (basically loving things in-character) will result in you being shot and killed
6. Attempting mutiny will result in you being turned into a statue and stored in the freezer



FAQs
Q. How do I play?
A. By joining the server (when it's up) and getting placed in a job area.

Q. Where do I get a gun?
A. In security, or in special areas.

Q. Can I just shoot anyone I want?
A. Yeah.

Q. What if I shoot an admin during an event?
A. RIP event

Q. Somebody shot me and-
A. And now you're dead. Unless you get cloned, you're a goner.

Q. Do you have any rules against metagaming?
A. As far as I'm concerned, every player on the server is wearing a nametag and people are pretty much allowed to communicate with each other.

Q. Does my character permanently die and get lost forever?
A. No, they just get cloned later or if everyone dies, your consciousness just shifts over to a slightly less dark alternate universe along with everyone else.

Q. What happens if an event ends prematurely and all the admins are dead?
A. Then an admin will either let everyone eventually kill themselves or revive discreetly and start an event that might end up killing the whole crew.

Q. How do I become an admin?
A. If you're good at doing your job and you have lots of good ideas for events, I will consider making you an admin.

Q. I don't like roleplaying, I just like shooting people. Am I allowed to just shoot people?
A. If all you do is shoot people instead of try to participate, then you're a valuable asset to the admin team and we'll utilize your homicidal tendencies.

Q. When is the server going up?
A. Currently, I'm working on getting everything just right. I will update with a deadline when I have one.

This sounds duper bool but what is the threat? Syndicate?

The glorious Syndicate of the Syndicate of the dock workers!

This sounds duper bool but what is the threat? Syndicate?

Threats listed scale for the most threatening to the least threatening
1. The Syndicate
The Syndicate is like an imperialistic space mafia. They own a lot of space, are surprisingly good at taking out people and corporations they don't like and the IMS Cyprus is in their central territory

2. Aliens
Almost every single lifeform that isn't human is hostile. Every single alien encountered save for harmless space worms are going to attempt to kill you.

3. Your shipmates
You cannot trust anyone who isn't you.

4. Gun
you die by gun

so basically its a 'everyone is out to kick your ass' or something like that scenario?
thats nice (sarcasm not intended if you feel theres sarcasm)

at least theres no permakills because the cloning stations unless everyone hates your character or something lol

so basically its a 'everyone is out to kick your ass' or something like that scenario?

Basically you're trying to do your job while everything is trying to prevent you from doing that

oh so that space station sim game except simplified for BL

sounds very good. post pics of build?

post pics of build?

I wanna keep pictures of it on the down low to keep a lot of things a secret until release, sorry

And part of me wants to make a lot of the machines more technical but I still want it to be more like a roleplay

This looks like fun!

Are people of every skill level welcome, or are you going to kick out the people who can't RP very well?

I feel I.M.S. is unfitting. From the op I guess it stands for Inter Mission Ship. Something should be coming between inter and mission, or you take out inter and put in galactic with the inter (travel) implied as it is a ship. Making it either "I.G.M.S. Cyprus" or "G.M.S. Cyprus" As it is also stated in the op as being a ship for the Intergalactic Coalition I would suggest making it G.C.S. (Galactic Coalition Ship) Which would bring up what travel capabilities while simultaneously stating which fleet it belongs to. At the same time the "C.S." ending of the ship prefix does a little alliteration thing with the ships name which is cool. "G.C.S. Cyprus" sounds particularity pleasing to me.

G.C.S. also sounds pleasing to me. I will strongly consider it for fully release.

Also I'm going to set up a system for staff heads (basically in-character admins) to be elected. People who are cool and like the server will be pushed into getting into staff positions so they can manage their own area of the ship and maybe even run events for the server that they can set up during downtime

what if i cant trust myself

can i be a frozen statue then?
