The world has become corrupted by the government. A mad dictator has taken over the one and only continent this world has. He has made ridiculous demands as well as inhumane punishments. Rebels who are referred to as pirates have fled the continent in search for an island far away that they can call paradise. Some pirates are cruel and will kill residents of islands so that they can take it over. Others, like the group our story focuses on, are only looking for a place to call home.

An island lush with fruits, fresh water, flowers, herbs, and even animals is the home of a a civilization of merfolk. These merfolk are half human and half aquatic animal. Some have the lower half of a clown fish, while others have the lower half of an octopus. Some merfolk are as big as a whale while others are poisonous and deadly. Every merman and mermaid have the ability to transform either into their fish form or human form (But they will always keep their size). Sometimes their fish traits will carry onto their human form such as shark merfolk having sharp teeth. These fish people live in harmony with each other. They love one another and would never hurt each other. A species they do hate though is humans. Since the rule of the mad dictator mermaids have been captured either to be put on display or to fulfill a man's sexual fantasy. Mermen will either have the same done for them or be forced to work as a slave (This mostly happens to the bigger ones). One day a group of humans known as pirates had invaded their land. They had already set up fortifications and housing. Merfolk are a peaceful species and don't truly want the humans dead, but if they must resort to fighting then that is what they shall do.

The Phoenix pirates have finally found the island of their dreams. It had everything they could ever need. Finally they could live up to their pirate name and be reborn from the ashes of their previous life at the continent. Their crew had about 7 members but they also had 43 passengers who had agreed to escape with the pirates. It wasn't long before the crew had set up living quarters for everyone. It mostly consisted of huts fit for 1-2 people but it worked as a shelter for now. The pirates had yet to discover the other residents of the island, and there was no way they were going to give up this island without a fight.

So this RP is going to pick up with the pirates exploring the island and discovering the merfolk. A couple rules to point out:
1. To tell the difference between a pirates perspective and merfolk's perspective you will need to use different colors.
Arrr I'm a pirate
I'm a mermaid
Any shade of blue and red is fine, also if you hate these two collors and have a better idea tell me pls
2. Romance is definitely aloud but keep your undies and bras on please
3. No killing other players, you can kill npc's but only with my permission
4. Post oftenish like at least once every two days MINIMUM

Swords and guns, crossbows too I guess but I don't know why'd you choose that over a gun. A bit more advanced than our pirate era, so guns will have more than one shot.

Guns just ruined this for me.

"Pirates," whom are not even actually pirates, wielding guns against... merfolk. And why'd you say "Swords and guns"? Swords were around before longbows or crossbows, and became more and more irrelevant as ranged weapons increased in number and power. Still useful, but not as effective. Combine that with guns... no reason for swords. A handgun from WWII, when magazines really started showing up, would take down a swordsman no problem.

I could have a guy that carries a trench gun and an M1 Garand, and I'd be unstoppable as a soldier. Trench gun eliminates anything close, M1 Garand eliminates anything farther than that. And yes, one man can carry two guns + ammunition, I would know.

Guns and mermaids don't fit. I think I'm gonna drop out because that just... doesn't make any sense. This mad dictator of yours would be dead or not nearly so powerful if guns truly existed.

Could be guns that exist, but not so much on the island due to seclusion, limited supplies, damage, so forth.

K bye, and you are correct Muse

(Anyone wondering as to why I was rude was because he wrote 3 paragraphs explaining the problem of guns and I agree now I had not thought that far in advanced but he said he was dropping out. Seeing as to how the IC hasn't started and a problem like that could easily be changed he still decided to quit. I take that as an insult because the only reason I see him quiting for is that he has little faith in my intelligence for the future of this RP. If you quiting just like that you don't deserve info on how ill fix the problem, besides he quit I don't see why he'd care if I told him)

This response just... no. I mean, wow. I've never seen a more unhelpful, uncaring person GMing a roleplay. The last person at least said he was only doing it for fun, which is something understandable. You barely explain, just say "guns." Like... the first repeater, in the civil war? The MP40 from WWII? the rifles from WWI?

That's just... wow.

Even if I had stayed with guns and mermaids, that would've made me leave anyways.

I wish you were the GM for this, based on that other guy's response up there.

Personally when I heard guns it made me think of muskets and primitive rifles or something. That's just...automatic I guess, when I think of pirates? But I could be totally wrong.

To be fair, it helps in allowing the players to understand how to respond. If one person has a gun, how do they use it? Does it have the qualities of a sniper rifle or is it a short-range pistol that loses accuracy rapidly with distance? As the person being aimed at, would they be close enough that I am aware? Should I respond to a gun wound with the knowledge of expanding bullets in terms of damage assessment? They don't have to be exact guns that exist, but it helps to know what's going on.

Actually...I'd have to agree with Wilson on this one. Primitive, less effective guns and guns advanced as the ones today have a massive difference. In the case of advanced guns, the pirates could very likely slaughter the merpeople. If that's what you're going for, cool, but it seems to me like you'd need to even the playing field.

Not looking for conflict or anything. I just would really like some clarification. It would be helpful to set the scene and set boundaries.
