Admittedly, this is hard, as I find that it's easy to fall into the trap of making it too gamey. One solution is to make this a tabletop, and the other solution, which I'm currently trying to favour, is to offer something drastically different from what the games have. I'm definitely going to make it such that PCs have a much wider range of options when it comes to dealing with the Animatronics, other than just sitting there and looking at cameras. Other than that, I have a bunch of other general ideas to make this not so 'gamey'.

Why not experiment in your head with flipping the roles?

The ANIMATRONICS stay in one place and screw with stuff, and the SECURITY GUYS(Or girls, whatever) have to do shit about it. I don't know how that'd work, but you have to admit that's a somewhat interesting concept. Maybe?

And yeah sorry again. I mean I don't really like FNAF or the Fandom but I really need to be less of a dick, huh?

I've thought of that, but that would mean that one of the fundamental concept of roleplaying would be violated. By playing as the animatronics, character creation is very limited, as what animatronics there are would have been decided

Anyhoo, I'm inching towards a working model, so don't worry about it :)

And I think we've covered the bit about you being a dick. I don't think you are at the moment, although I must say the strikethrough on that last sentence confuses me a bit. There's something to be said about plain text with no caps and strikethroughs though in that it doesn't send down the wrong message, if that's what you're worried about.

Oh, I'm still brainstorming on how to proceed. Right now the main issue is that my mall might be too big. Another issue is increasing complexity and how to simplify the RP. Also, I'm finalising the NPCs :). Otherwise, I've got most of the detail in. The worse thing though, is that this is extremely experimental where RPs are concerned, and it's liable to fail. What I'm doing is a first, so I have no example to go by.

On the real life front though, I've got lots of stuff to do, so the Five Nights at Freddy's RP isn't the first thing on my mind. It's more of a side thing really.

EDIT: Moreover, there isn't alot of interest, which is perhaps what explains why no one did this before me. It won't stop me from trying though, you have my word on that. It'd take more than that to stop me.

I don't watch that show, so I wouldn't know. All I can tell you is, just don't go overboard with it and you'll be fine. Like it's fine to be a cynic and to point out flaws that no one but you noticed, but don't start doing jerky things like calling names, trying to start a huge row or things like that.

And I can tell you that there are some people whose standards are unrealistic, so be really careful around them. I'm talking about people who won't even let you discuss things because a frickin' teenager can't conduct herself in a conversation, or people who can't even take one supposed transgression that's hugely debatable and who'd promptly boot you right out of the RP on your ass for said transgression. That kind of people.

I know that feel, and nah it'd just be lighthearted ribbing and fridge logic

Man I can't wait until you start this. I suppose if I absolutely must I guess I'd play as a security guard.

It's problematic though. The reason why this is going very slow is because I don't want this to fail shortly after it'd started.

That should be after the 1992 Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria closed down, if I'm not wrong, although the Animatronics don't look broken in those Five Nights at Freddy's 3 minigames.
