    For the record, I always overdose on scepticism pills, because I already know that most of the things I have in mind never work out, so who's to say that my RP will actually work? It won't. Period.

     

    And no, I see no changes in the force.

    [OOC, Signups Closed] Train Ride Headed West (On hold)

    in Everfree Planning, OOC & Discussion

    · Edited by Derpy Cowbell

    Roleplay: http://mlpforums.com...de-headed-west/

     

    "You plan on travelling to some Equestrian town far to the west. You begin your Journey in Ponyville and you have an hour to board on the train in time. Once there, your journey begins. The ride has various stops, goes through various terrains, and last several days, but there are outside events that divert you from your original journey. There are no real antagonists, only Nature and mechanical failure. The journey ends once you reach the destination."

     

    This is an RP focused on travelling to the west by train. You (the player) have some reason to head west, whether it be for the sake of adventure, because you have urgent business there, or simply because you just wanna get away from it all.

     

    Whatever the reason, you’re on a train for several days and you need to make the otherwise boring trip enjoyable. Luckily, you’re among fellow ponies.

     

    The trip isn’t just one continuous trip. There are stops along the way, such as Appaloosa and Dodge Junction and Twentynine Hooves. The terrain isn’t constant either, and there are things that can throw your trip “off-track” (pun FULLY intended).

     

    Your ticket is waiting at home, and you have just packed up everything you’ll be needing. Make it to the train on time and enjoy the trip.

     

    General Guidelines, Part 1 (I think saying “rules” is too strict):

    - Due to height and weight restrictions, Alicorns are not permitted (Cheater; You can teleport, anyway), unless said character small enough and can execute “clever censorship” (IE, hiding your wings and passing yourself off as a unicorn, but that shouldn’t be the case, anyway).

    - There are no physical antagonists in the sense that they’re some sort of physical entity, like Nightmare Moon or a changeling. The only thing that can go wrong is nature (having to pee excruciatingly bad, an earthquake, dust storm, etc) and mechanical failure (I thought the red zone was supposed to be a good thing). These can be discussed in the OOC thread.

    - Yes, you can also bring up your own ideas. The more random, the merrier; Be sure to discuss it in the OOC first.

    - Unless you (or I) want a specific event to be a surprise, the exact timing of a specific event has to be more or less agreed upon in the OOC.

    - Same goes for train stops; You can bring up ideas on where the train stops at, but it all starts at Ponyville. Note that it doesn’t have to be limited to Appaloosa, Dodge Junction, or Twentynine Hooves. The geography just needs to make some sense. For example, if Appaloosa were comparable to, say, Arizona, Twentynine Hooves (whose geography would be comparable to southern California) would be farther west than Appaloosa.

    - A comprehensive lists of events and stops will be created as the RP goes along, some of the events will be announced in advance in the OOC. (Note: Just because you, the player, knows what’s gonna happen, doesn’t mean your character knows.)

    - Be excellent to each other. Post and keep up-to-date at your convenience, though at least one post a week is recommended. (Inactivity will be subject to your character being dropped off at the next stop. See General Guidelines, Part 2. Notify me in the OOC if you’re gonna be delayed.) Also, try not to ninja each other; I recommend at least five or ten minutes for a cooldown period (more is better, though) between each post if things become fast-paced.

    - The final destination must be agreed on first. (Though as the creator, I’d go for Miramare. What would you pick, though?)

     

    General Guidelines, Part 2 (The first set of rules were aimed at the participant, whereas these rules are more for the character of the participant):

    - Once the RP begins, train tickets will have been distributed to the households of each participating pony. Be ready to leave by then.

    - If you miss the train, you gotta wait for the next train. The trains wait for nopony.

    - Each stop will be used as an opportunity for the train to refuel, which should take an hour. You can use the time at each stop to take a breather, or if you’re like Pinkie Pie and had to hold it in, hop around awkwardly besides the outhouse and desperately knock on the door hoping whoever’s inside can hear you. Consider such stops as a checkpoint, but be back on the train in time. If you miss the train, you gotta wait for the next one.

    - If you decide to turn back for any reason or get off at any one of the stops and don’t wish to continue, you will be dropped off at the next stop (or left behind at the current stop if it’s the latter) and another pony will take your place from the same stop. (In other words, if you don’t wish to continue in the RP, your place will be up for grabs, and the new player will continue from whatever stop the former player was dropped off at. Inactive players will also be dropped off in a similar fashion.)

    - Don’t forget to bring your stuff, and bring something to ease the boredom. It’s a long ride, anyway.

    - Don’t try to decouple the cars. After the apple tree hijacking, there are now locks that keep the cars from becoming uncoupled.

    - The caboose can be used for leisure or privacy. It is in need of a paint job, since there are leaf stains all over the walls.

    - There are sleeping cars and dining cars affixed to the train, just so you know. Use them to your advantage, and save me some cake.

    - All cars on the train can be used for socialising if you so desire. Be wary of the “Do not disturb” signs, if any.

    - Don’t pee into the boiler’s furnace just because you had to. I don’t care if you’ve been drinking three liters of sarsaparilla or if somepony triple Diamond Dog dared you to!!!

    - Did I mention you don’t have to be IN the train?

    WHAT IS THIS SORCERY? :angry:

     

    Sees Zoop show up. Gets reminded of the Zoop&Swoop DW mentioned once (no, the other DW), reiterates the past events that I've been involved in, notices a discrepancy with Zoop's sig, uses Google Chrome to figure things out, gets told to stop F5ing, pulls out Snipping Tool, gets befuddled by other games I don't know about, changes my own sig for a split second.

     

    Worth it.

    Umm...that has to do with the roads in stuff right???

     

    Dude, seriously,... Network Addon Mod, the single-most important mod you'll ever want to download because not only does it fix up the crapjoj of a traffic simulator that Maxis put in out of haste, but it has so much more awesome stuff that it's almost impossible to turn down.

     

    And I'm one of the devs. :P

    Been a bit busy. WHAT'D I MISS IN HERE.

     

    Me trying to lucid dream and wetting the bed in the end, me trying to find a way to RP legitimately, me spreading the wonders of incest-- I mean, uhh, Vsauce, me trying to put a nuclear reactor under the house, and me living in the basement, and me trying to add two more dimension to the world.

     

    Too confusing? I thought so.

     

    Oh, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy,... Let's just say there's such a thing as too brilliant...
