[OOC] The Vanquishing of the Vampire Plague (Sanquin/Sarpedon)

[sanquin]

Doesn't really sound like my thing. It feels like vampires are kinda...pushed in there for the sake of vampires. ^^;; Plus, I'd like to do something non-modern or Sci-fi if possible.

[Sarpedon]

Right. I keep forgetting you're a fantasy person. I dunno why. Sorry. I will try again.

[sanquin]

So I'm guessing you didn't really like my idea? ^^;; What didn't you like about it?

[Sarpedon]

Oh fuck! No, I forgot about your idea! I was thinking something along the lines of "Something something something... Ideas!" and then I thought "fuck, I was working on an idea!" and then I got distracted again, but inspiration struck while I was pooping.

You idea was like, mmo where our characters are maxed out and then the players get sucked into their characters who are like trapped in the tutorial area or something, right? Or was that someone else's idea? I tried writing things down but I just threw out all the notes because there were way to many. Now I feel awful...

[sanquin]

Not stuck in the tutorial area. They get sucked into their character and then suddenly appear in a real world that's different from the game, but has the same magic and monsters. So they're basically godlike powerful in a fantasy world, but don't know anything about the world yet. (Including that they're in fact godlike powerful.) And the guild with all it's npc's have come with them, the npc's now being real people all of a sudden too.

[Sarpedon]

oh, okay. And then they conquer everything? I can't think of anything else to do once they figger out they're gods XD

[sanquin]

I was thinking more along the lines of 'bring peace to the land by taking over by force and reigning supreme' but yes, something along those lines. Guess it doesn't sound too interesting to you? I thought it might be fun doing an rp where you conquer the world. :P

It's more the journey that matters though. Figuring out how the world works, dealing with several large nations that are at war with each other and see the characters as a threat, or maybe a possibly ally, and of course there would be a few possibilities for danger. Our characters wouldn't be immortal. And, as a slight spoiler for the plan, while there aren't any other 'players' in the world when our characters would be, they have been in the past. And those past players' items remain as legendary artifacts at times lost, or other times controlled by higher ups in the nations, which could pose a threat to our characters.

[Sarpedon]

I didn't mean to give you the impression that I wasn't interested. It sounds pretty cool. I'd be down to give it a try.

[sanquin]

I was debating posting this or not, since I love reading your posts, but...could you maybe keep them a bit shorter? It's a bit daunting to reply to such huge posts. Especially since there's a lot happening on your last post. ^^;; No need to change it, just something for the future...

[Sarpedon]

Oh, sorry. I got caught up writing about shooting things. I will try to limit my posts in the future.

[sanquin]

I figured as much. I always notice your post length going up when it comes to shooting things. xD

[Sarpedon]

I fuckin' love shooting things. I wanna go do that this weekend...

[Sarpedon]

So I had a long weekend this weekend, and it was rather hectic, and then last night, the last night of my weekend, I decided to move into a new apartment, so things have been all kinds of crazy, which is why you haven't heard from me. I don't even have a chair to sit on right now. I will get you replies ASAP, I just don't know when that will be. Also, just a heads up, I may be going on a two-month exercise in april until like june.

[sanquin]

Woa...hectic life huh? I would never even think of just 'deciding to move to a different apartment' over the weekend. xD Also, if you're going to go on a 2 month hike...maybe want to try my rp idea after that? I dunno... ^^;;

[Sarpedon]

Well, if you'd lived in military quarters, you'd understand. It's not life, living in there. opportunity knocked, so I kicked the door off the hinges and took that fucker with me.

It's not a hike, it's a military exercise. The first month is going to be tactical, so it will probably suck balls. The second month will be less bad, but there's going to be lots of mud and lots of unhappiness, but sure, after that let's give your idea a shot.

[sanquin]

Ah, that makes a lot more sense now. I wouldn't want to live in military quarters either. :P And that 'hike' doesn't exactly sound fun. ^^;;

[Sarpedon]

It's not a hike, all the units going are mechanised. We all get trucks, and we fuck around in the suck until the Commandant says we can go home.

[sanquin]

Lol, that sounds less terrible then. But still definitely not my cup of tea. I love camping, but the most I tend to do is a weekend of LARP a few times a year. Which involves a tent, a sleeping bag and mattress, and cooking on a portable stove type thingy.

I did go on a hike during a boy scouts camp once. A day of walking with only what we could carry in our backpacks, making dinner on camp fires we made ourselves with flint and steel, sleeping under a tarp with like 30 of us, and walking back to the camp location the next morning. But that's the 'roughest' I've done pretty much. xD

Also, you talked about wanting to play a fighter with a big ass sword. Guess you'll have plenty of time to think of what to do with that then. :) I'm going with a vampire necromancer I think. Since this setting does allow for vampires quite well. ;) Though I have one question about our characters...which one will be the guild leader? I'm fine with either, it's just that it'll change a few things about my character which I have to keep into account.

[Sarpedon]

See, the army gets you like that, because they do have tents, and sleeping bags and air mattresses and portable stoves, but the tents are for ten people, but only realistically fit five, the sleeping bags are... interesting... and the portable stoves are just as likely to go up in flames as they are to cook your food.

That sounds a lot more fun than what we do in the field...

I don't remember that, but it sounds like something I'd say XD I think your character should be the guild leader, on account of the fact that your character will likely be a lot older than mine, considering the combination of vampirism and necromancy...

[sanquin]

Considering how they were gamers playing a virtual mmorpg (complete virtual reality), whom got transported to a fantasy world as their avatars...I don't that would be the case. xD Either might be older than the other. Though my character would probably live longer...
