Alright so I want to do a sort of RP that'll be located entirely in the Multiverse forum in that it won't remotely effect the main storyline of the forum, but the idea is similar to the game of thrones concept in that there'll be a setting where the ruler of a planet or something similar will have died and the heir will either be extremely questionable or there will be no heir causing all those with the right amount of influence to rise up and try to claim power.
It'd be nice to have it a running campaign and have the victor at the end a complete surprise, for that reason all the threads in the campaign will be policed by me and possibly one other person and there'll be a bit of a system set up so people can't just pull things out of their arse too much. Off the top of my head for example I've been thinking of making a system where once a week possibly on a monday I PM each ruler character and give them a tactical advantage they can use once during the course of that week. These advantages run out after a week and are replaced by the next week's advantage, and it's up to the player to decide when to use said advantage in RP.
Some advantages would counter other advantages too for example I give someone an advantage that means they manage to get a spy into the enemy hold, but the person they used it on was given an advantage where they capture a spy within the enemy hold and thus it negated the advantage used by the other person and they gain vital information and stop the information leak. Things like that.
Anyway tell me if you're interested, more the better as the more 'nations' there are trying to get the throne the more fun it'll be, also people can npc characters from other holds so people aren't just rping their ruler alone but for any battle rp threads it'd need to be using your ruler character. But the idea is not to have a lot of war threads, war should be a last resort - or a first I suppose it depends on the character.
Anyway, it'll be more fleshed out if I get enough interest in the idea. If not, it'll just be left by the wayside until I can be bothered with it.
