Going to need to bounce some idea off on some people. Anyone interested? Any idea how an RP about the killer animatronics could work out? I have a lot of details planned out, but I'd like to hear about how an RP involving a team of security officers in a mall could work.

Just as we would turn around and condemn or laugh at our ancestors for their barbarism, our descendants will do the same.

I'm happy with participating in a single RP - Something tells me I'm the only one?

In Batam for a month after quitting my job. Been powering through my writing since. I guess this is where I call myself a full-time professional writer.

I’ll be going to Disney World in Florida. We’ll probably be at the parks for most of the day, but now that I think about it I’ll probably be able to secure a few hours for writing.
Sounds to me like you're going there with your family. I guess I've forgotten about the who, what and how... Just make sure you spend some good quality time with them :) We're secondary, so like what @Prisk said, just enjoy yourself first and foremost :)
@Marik I've been on vacation ever since the 12th of May, and I will be on vacation until the 11th of July. What kind of vacation is it? Because I'm thinking you could maybe secure internet access for an hour or two at some place and make a post somewhere in the middle of it? The nature of your vacation is important though, such as the when and where of it. Like, if you're in rural Thailand or something, my suggestion would be impossible to execute.
So... This RP dead?
I mean, there is a reason why, literally an inch away from the input field, there is very obvious text that says "Please save your shit before you post it."
No need to be rude to the man. Give him a break, I think losing all that work is lesson enough.
Woah, that's not good. Well, I'm willing to wait. That's part of roleplaying.
Basically, common sense. Makes sense (pun unintended), but it shouldn't be gamey, because we have the game for that. I prefer a good story, that's what we're here for. It'd have to be case by case, in my opinion. But most of the time, yeah, if you're under a falling, burning car, you're roadkill. Still, depending on alot of factors, you'll be surprised what a person could get out of. For example, an injured alien is guarding a place, and you decided to come out with a few guys, chances are, the alien might not do anything. Stuff like that. Basically, all I'm trying to say is, don't go with game logic, go the direction writers go.
Oh, and another thing. I'm a big horror fan. :) It would be great if this XCOM roleplay is a horror. I think XCOM is meant to be a horror, the world's first horror strategy game, haha.
Anyway, I'm still unsure if I'd join. I've always been here to advise, as I can empathise with you wanting to start an XCOM roleplay. I'll play by ear.

@TJByrum Indeed sir, it is. I had a very different way of expressing the decision making bit though, do consider. I believe my roleplay's gameplay is fine, just that I didn't simplify it and neither did I have the will to keep it going.
But yeah, harsh is the XCOM way. Cheers to that :)

So, it's going to look like a tabletop huh? I'm not sure if I'm joining though. Maybe. We'll see. I think using a system isn't a good idea though. It becomes nothing like roleplaying, so free form it is. EDIT: Then there's the matter of balance. How sure are you that the system is going to be balanced? It'd be like designing a game, which will take a while -- and it will lead to things becoming too complex for it to run.
But here's a link to my RP, not that it's of much use. You could always use some of my story elements though, if you want:

There you go. I'm not proud of me getting cold feet, no matter the circumstances. I haven't forgiven myself for it, which is why if I ever become GM again, it would be for an RP that's extremely small-scale and self-contained, and simple to run. Like I said, if you make things as epic and complex as me, you'd better be ready to commit your life to it. Otherwise, keep it simpler.
