(Based on the US TV Show & Novel by William Brinkley: "The Last Ship")

The idea is that the world has suffered from a catastrophic viral infection. It spreads via the air by being near or in contact with someone who is infected. It is high contagious, nearly 99% lethal, and only a very select few are immune to it (due to gene mutations at birth that somehow left a very few lottery winners). Players will play their nation, in reality a vessel at sea. Be it a luxury yacht, a naval vessel, a cruise ship, a tanker, or a submarine even. Since we are out at sea, we can assume that none of us have gotten sick. Our goal is to survive, finding supplies at sea or on land (where the danger of infection is high), as well as making contact with other survivors. Rebuild the world, or eliminate the competition through "war", it is your choice.

Any takes on an idea similar to this? There will be limiting factors and pros/cons to each class as follows:

1. Naval Surface Warfare vessel, light (i.e. Destroyer, Frigate, Cruiser)

2. Naval Surface Warfare vessel, heavy (i.e. Aircraft Carrier, Freighter, Amphibious Transport Dock (LPD))

3. Cruise Ship

4. Commercial Freighter/Tanker/Research Vessel

5. Fishing Vessel

6. Yacht (Luxury, Super)

7. Sail

8. Naval Sub-surface Warfare Vessel, light (Attack submarine)

9. Naval Sub-surface Warfare Vessel, heavy (Ballistic Missile Submarine)

Around four to six players.

There is someone else working on an RP like this which I've already expressed my interest in, otherwise I would jump on this. If yours happens to be going on and the other doesn't work out, I would definitely be interested because I love the idea!

@AYoungWarthogYo, I'm the person that Anything is referring to and I wanted to know if you wanted to work together in some way for to create an NRP like this. I'm not going to go ranting off and accuse you of ripping off of me since:
1) I know you probably didn't
2) I rather not deal with such a fight of accusations and such.

So, can I help or at least express interest in this?

I honestly had no idea anyone was working on something like this! That's a mighty coincidence. I haven't been very active on the Guild in a year or so, and only started lurking about a week ago. So I mean, maybe we can collab or combined our efforts/ideas? :)

Sure, do you want to do it in PM, etherpad, google doc?

PM! :D

Bump. This is remaining independent under myself.

I Once wanted to join yer NRP, and although it didn't take off you seemed like a capable GM which is increasingly rare, so I'm down for this =)

This is a pretty cool idea.

To be honest, I might prefer this one rather than the other as it has a darker theme and I think it would fit better with my ship idea.

This reminds me a lot of Metro 2033 for some reason, except on ships instead of in subway tunnels and so I think the different factions could be pretty interesting and representative of that.

I see a total of four players so far including myself. That's good to start an OOC! I'll get on it! :)

Present

Lets get started

Can't wait to get started! I'm pretty excited.

Sounds amazing.Count me in.Is there an actual RP post yet?

Any room for one more?
I've wanted to try an NRP, and this seems like it's something I can get pumped about.

May I enter as well?

Can we get started?

Dibs on superyacht. If it's going to be the end of the world, I'm going to want a luxury spa experience beforehand.

I'd also be interested in this
