you are in Australia and you have made it to a vault and your vault gets infested with a lot of radroaches so you got away and out of your vault to figure out you are stranded in the wasteland without resources so you have to survive, explore, make a base that you can shear with overs.

(all of you can have a different vault and meet up with each-other)

My God the IC is awful... Sorry, but it's just... *shudders* First of all, there were never more than 121 Vaults to my knowledge, and even then Vault-Tec never made any outside of America. Second, the grammar... My God, the grammar. I understand that this is free and the quality standards are low to non-existent in most RPs in this category, but that's just awful.

And lastly, there's not a character sheet or even a readable explanation for what the fuck we're going to do in this RP in the OP, so people will just jump in and assume they can herp-a-derp their way around the Australian Wasteland without a care in the world. Just clean all the canon errors up, clean all the grammar issues up, and add a character sheet then you might have a good RP on your hands.

So yeah.

Kinda have to agree with the Unicycle on this one. This....I don't even know what to say about it. I was honestly thinking of joining this, but one glimpse at the IC and I'm surprised my eyeballs didn't pop out of their sockets and commit seppuku! Yes this is the free section, where anything goes, but still. You want your posts to be legible and understandable at least. I couldn't make heads or tails of that clusterfuck of verbal spunk.

Secondly, if you're going to do a fandom RP for Fallout or for any, it is very important that you stick to the lore already established. I get you wanna add a new twist to the formula, but enough drops of sodium into a bucket of water will just burn your pubes off. Instead of Australia, what about maybe a setting in California or Texas? Hell, why not just stick with the original DC wasteland?

Lastly this. I understand you're probably trying to capture the sandbox feel of the Fallout series, but truth be told, even those games had an underlying narrative for all the faffing about in the wasteland. What about two factions duking it out like the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel or Caesar's Legion and the NCR, or better yet what if the wastelanders had to band together against a rising threat? Maybe there was some new faction coming into power, quickly gaining influence until it began full scale conquest, and it was up to you and others, just a couple of bandits, marauders, and other undesirables to face it head on? I'm just throwing some shit out here to help you.

Because I like to point out errors, the Capital Wasteland wasn't the original setting for the Fallout series. In fact, it was actually the American southwest, I.E. California, Nevada, and Arizona. Hasn't been a canon game in Texas to my knowledge, though, could very well use that state. That, or you could just put it in another completely different state, for I example I used Oregon in my Fallout RP (that never took off).

... Okay, I just realized that he ripped off Fallout 4's Vault 111, most likely because that's the only one he's played. So GM, know that Vault 111 was seriously the only Vault that froze it's residence.

Well yeah, I understand. I tried helping him by pointing out errors and telling him that, to be a good RPer, he needs to improve these things. So of course he PMs me saying that he doesn't like me, that it's his first RP, and that he doesn't have to play by the games (but he does if he wants it to be a good RP).

I have a quick suggestion to the GM, maybe just don't roleplay in first person. And I agree with Simple on the grammar errors. If you want to have a roleplay that looks decent and fun to join you should have a CS, rules, and background on what the RP is about. Even if you can't play the games you should do some basic research on the game so you know what the heck you are doing or else the roleplay ends up somewhere in what I consider "RP Dead Zone" which happens due to lack of interest or lack of proper grammar and punctuation. There is such thing as spell check, I think it's readily available on all electronic devices, I suggest using that to correct any grammatical errors.

Just my two cents. ;)
