searching Strangers In A Strange Land [casual free-for-all]

[Quinch 1,120]

[<- the thread went thissaway]

 

This is the first time I've made a roleplaying thread {or even roleplayed} in a loooong time so a} bear with me through all the stumbling and b} why yes, I would love to hear any advice you have.

 

It's a pretty simple premise. Present day, present time {hahaha, etc.} in Ponyville. For reasons unexplained, creatures {that is you, unless it isn't} from other worlds start popping up around town. Maybe it's portals, maybe it's magic, there's no specific reason, the reason you're there is entirely up to you. Unless the reason you're there is because you're a pony who's been living here in Equestria all your life and suddenly there's all these weirdos around.

 

The Rules:

This is basically just a casual social/light adventure gig. There's no specific goal to it other than to just have fun together, but if you want to make a goal or create a crisis or suddenly a monster for your character and anyone who wants to tag along then hey, don't let me stop you.

 

No violence. Okay, maybe a little violence. Or a lot. Sort of. Conditionally, kinda. Cartoon violence is cool, actual violence less so. Basically, if there's any amount of blood, someone's probably gone too far, whereas being flattened, exploded or turned into a pretzel is hilarious.

 

No changing the pony civilization single-handedly. Think of it as a kind of prime directive kind of thing. If you have advanced technology, or special magic or some weird meaty mumbo jumbo, it's confined to you, you can't suddenly mass-produce it. After all, it's a magical world filled with multicolored equines that follows its own rules of physics and biology, you're lucky it even has oxygen. Probably. I don't think it's ever actually been specifically mentioned. Maybe everyone breathes neon.

 

And finally, less of a rule and more as a general suggestion, try to keep the activities in Ponyville and surrounding area, just for simplicity's sake.

 

Edit: Also, be as wordy or as short as you want to be. It's your show.

 

So, in short, take a character you feel like {also mods, a question, what if someone wants to play a copyrighted non-MLP character? Is that okay or a no-no?}, drop them in Ponyville, have fun.

 

But now I need to go to bed, I'll start the actual RP thread in the morning. In the meantime, I'm open to additional suggestions!

do you have to register or what

[Quinch 1,120]

Nope, free-for-all.

Hey Shadow, can you tell me where your character is right now? I might whip up a quick alt to interact with him. Has he been in Ponyville long? Basically, what would your average Ponyvillian know of him?

[reader8363 1,281]

If you read the second post, after the main, it says free for all

[MarionEtte136 79]

Just thought I'd ask for approval first; it's always a good idea to get approval before participating in the role play!

Is everypony still here?

[reader8363 1,281]

I am, i think daisydream is still one it, but hasn't been on since the 29th

[MarionEtte136 79]
