House of the Rising Sun [Royal houses RP]

I'd like to get some updates on how the applications are going just to get an idea where we're at currently. I've already written down the first post and am ready to start the RP when those apps fly in. If I'm not mistaken there's 7 of us ready for the RP to start. I take it those that applied and haven't said anything are still in.

Hm... This appears to be somewhat interesting; I don't have much time on my hands atm and I'm in college so I haven't had time to read everything over, but consider this to be a confirmation of my tentative interest...

@darkwolf687

Oh I know exactly how you feel. The struggle is real. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, college stuff :D Okay, well I'm glad you've taken interest. Let me know when you read through it and decide if you will work on an application. Let me know if you need any help.

If he wants to come back he could be a Bastard of the Count and have a claim and he could gather up men perhaps the peasant revolts and such.

@LordZell

If he does return before I assign someone else the title of count then he can have it back. If not then we'll think of something.

House of the Rising Sun [Royal houses RP]

For the highlighted part maybe we could have some RP like the head of House died and only had like a daughter and one of the other count's son is married to her. Make an issue like the count wants to press claims but one or the other houses dislike that power but perhaps some of the lords in the county are loyal to her so you know a political issue.

@LordZell

The trouble is that I don't know if he's coming back soon and if he does, I don't know if he would still want to join the RP. I could leave it to whoever gets the county to write such a story but I won't force it on them. If Twisted comes back after the start he will have a claim on the title but will have to earn it back. I think I'm being fair.

Thanks to Gowia, I'll be joining this RP if I can manage it. I skimmed over the interest check a while back, but only looked at this when Gowia mentioned it. I'm sad I didn't look earlier, you've put a lot of work into this and it would be a shame to see that to to waste.

@Keyguyperson

Well thank you for taking your time to take a look. I did put quite a bit of effort, more than I should have, I suppose. I've spoke to gowia about the RP and I'm going to 'liberalize' it. So, the idea is, there won't be troop trees or revenues. 1)Things will be handled by everyone separately by pure imagination. My original thought was to limit everyone from steam rolling by turning the RP into a game full of rules and math. So, now, instead of calculating everything, everyone will have the freedom to do what they want with numbers BUT in reasonable amounts. I don't want any million man march in a small duchy. All I require is from RPers to be realistic. 2)The maps will not be changed and everyone who was awarded a county and stayed can keep it. 3)I will have to remove TwistedSun from the RP until further notice as his inactivity puts me in a tough spot. His count title will be given to someone else. 4)I will remove troop trees but players can still use the information for writing combat. The Power Points will no longer be in use so it's all going to be either arranged between two players, or me if the two cannot reach an agreement. As for PvE, the whole battle will be completely up to the player. If you have suggestions or objections to these 4 points that I thought about changing please let me know and we can work something out. EDIT: Oh, and I'd like to keep the population numbers etc., at least as starting position.

House of the Rising Sun [Royal houses RP]

Thank you. Seeing as how things have changed, I have to postpone the RP again to fix it up a bit and wait for new people, I guess.

Sadly I think the interest is too low. However your work shouldn't go to waste. PM me, I have a few friends who may be interested in picking this up in a slightly different way, with you of course.

@gowia

Done. As I said in the PM, just so everyone else can see, if there are enough people showing interest I am willing to overhaul the Roleplay according to demand. I assume people are leaving because the RP got a bit restrictive so I will work on that.

House of the Rising Sun [Royal houses RP]

Eh. That's too bad. I feel like things are going downhill. I'm having my doubts in starting the RP at all.

House of the Rising Sun [Royal houses RP]

;-;

@Durandal

Yeah, I've actually thought hard about having these "power points" and such. It does make the RP look a bit 'gamey' so I don't know. The RP hasn't started yet so I want to hear what the rest of you think about it. Is it too complex? How can I improve it?

House of the Rising Sun [Royal houses RP]

Eh. I feared the new update would drive away people.
