I am currently in the process of brainstorming ideas for a Total Drama roleplay and was curious to see if there is an audenice here for such a roleplay. The Total Drama Series is, as defined by wikipedia, an animated reality television series which lampoons the conventions commonly found in reality television. I want this roleplay to focus on its comedy aspects with original characters, with the expection of Chris, Chef and a few others. This way you will not need to have any real prior knowledge of the series to play.

Just like in the tv series, all characters will be "animated teens" that are competing to win 1 million dollars by submitting themselves through comical/torturous challenges designed by the show's sadistic and narcissistic host Chris Mclean. Challenges may be for "reward" and/or immunity from being voted out. I have thought up a couple interesting ideas so far for this roleplay:

-Weekly Confessionals that only voted out participants can view.
-Voted out players do not leave the game. Instead they stick around to assist Chris in causing drama and choas amoung the remain contestants, and help in torturing or assisting other players during challenges.
-Voted out contestants will be given chances to get back in game or influence outcomes through other means.
-the ability for contestants sabotage other players without knowing who did it. (You'll be informed of all sabotages after getting voted out much like with the confessionals).
-Players may be allowed to play as Chris McLean's fabled interns
-Players may rp as the bear or the Yeti, on and off.
-All contestants will be in their teens and will embody a certain Archetype (Exceptions to the age range will be based on a character's archetype. For example anyone who decides they want their archetype to be a Manchild can make their character be in his twenties)

I'm still working out the details for how things will work, and am open to suggestions. Below is what I have so far:
This roleplay of Total Drama contains scenes of teens doing extreme stunts performed by animated teens in literature. Do not try any of what you read here at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up.
Prologue:


Attention to all teens who want to be want to be rich and famous! Total Drama Roleplay is seeking 12 new teens willing to submit themselves through one whole season’s worth of Reality TV torture- Uh- I mean fun times! All teens welcome! Send auditions now!

Well that makes one. First season was one of the best, This Rp wont require you to be very familar with the show. but having seen a season will help get you in the right frame of mind for the kind of comedy and feel that this rp will have.

Awesome! I'm glad to see we have a few people interested in subjecting fictional characters through torture inducing challenages. It's nice to know I'm not the only sane person out here :P

We could still use a few more people though. At the least, I would like to have five characters on each team. Six at most. But anyway, I'm currently looking for suggestions and thoughts on how to best approach the idea of doing confessionals and sabotaging.


So yeah, that is how I plan to implement sabotaging and confessionals. What are your thoughts on this?

Do you think it would be more interesting to have it in the rp or not?

Oh, and it doesn't have to be creative. It could be something as simple as removing a screw from a machine, drugging the food. stealing characters' personal items. Basically its for anything you want to do but don't want other people to find out about. You don't even have to use the system if you want.

I kind of like the idea of confessionals being able to be read by all in the RP, but it'd have to be known that what is said in confessionals isn't known to the other characters.

Good to have you Amestris! that makes four then (Being the GM I plan to avoid acting as a contestant)

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I agree with you Fabricant. However I do think it may be a good idea to have the option to allow private confessionals for the people who committed acts of sabotage

Lol, I wish it were that simple. "Spoilers!" = "I did it!"

i dont think it matters if everyone can read it or not (if thats what you mean), i said spoilers just incase someone prefers roleplaying without the knowledge of what happens and also to easily differentiate between a confessional and just regular interaction between our characters

I see. So your saying we should combine regular posts with confessionals. Hm... That's a thought.

yes. we can still roleplay as oblivious to knowledge that "X" sabotaged something. :P

Ah, but can you? If you know someone has gone an screwed over your character, does that not make you inclined to try to find another reason to go and vote them off?

Yeah I can see the appeal of not keeping these things anonymous, However l like the stratgegy that one could incorperate with the idea. I'll leave it up to a vote. I think I'm going to start working on the OCC. I'll have to construct a map of the camp site.
