It just matters that someone was listening.
Hopefully we get at least one cop or else my interactions are gonna be limited xD

Hello!
Wandering Owl
Hmm that's true, I didn't think of that. If there are no cops you can use them as NPCs to propel you forward until people start claiming the roles of cops.
Wandering Owl

Yeah, though we're getting a lot of people right now so hopefully there'll be someone to play a cop

Hello!
Yeah that is true, we will just have to wait and see.

We can bump the interest check thread repeatedly and state the roles we need the most

Hello!
That's a good idea, plus I want to redo it because of now we actually have an idea what is going on that that post is very bland.
On to other news! Since most of us have created our characters I would like to start the actual rp very soon! But before that can happen I feel like we need to talk about the direction that this rp should go into. When i first thought of this roleplay I had in my mind that I wanted this to be an open world rp. I want this to be plot driven, but yet I want stories to create themselves in the rp. So I have been giving this a lot of thought and what I came up with was a starting point. A point to introduce the families and get the conflict going and hopefully the rp will flow on it's own. I thought this starting point could be about a conflict with the two families. I said before this roleplay will revolve around the two families as they struggle to claim the city as their own. It's the old saying of how this city isn't big enough for the two of us. I would like to create a starting conflict, to get us off into the world. I was thinking either one of the families has land that the other wants or something else that the other wants to claim. Or that one of the families has been intruding on the other one's territory. Theses are just a few ideas that I have come up with and I'm still trying to think of more.
Hopefully this made sense, as I was trying to find a perfect way to tell everyone of my vision of what I wanted this rp to be. If anyone has any suggestions about the rp I am always open to new ideas!

I think this is a great idea because it brings all the characters on their respective families together (hope you understand what I mean) and they could maybe discuss what’s going on and get to talking.
Wandering Owl

Oooh, yeah. I guess it's based on how much you want to talk with everyone about it - if it was something like one family on another's territory, we'd need to work out who and why, while if it was something like an item/place they both wanted, it would need less lore work

Cool! Once we have the setting you could update the IC post with it.
About the starting conflict, I like it, I don't think there are many other ways to start this off (I mean, two mafia families, cmon). But I also think this can get kinda dull easily, like, I think we could try to come up with a nice backstory as to why the families are competing for land, trafficking routes or whatever is the case, so it doesn't sound like a randomly generated backstory. Maybe a more specific situation, idk, we can brainstorm. I just think it makes it easier to write the first posts, when we have a more concrete situation to base it on.
An idea would be to maybe have the two families in a meeting, trying to agree upon the conflict we create, but something goes wrong and worsens the issue instead of solving it.

Definitely like the idea of both family having a meeting together, but we’re gonna need more people to at least fill in the important characters. We need the big boss’s at least.

Hello!
I Think that's a good start I like how you are thinking. Maybe we can do something along those lines. The ideas i suggested earlier were just to get the mind running. The last thing i want is this rp to be dull or fade. As for finding someone to play the big bosses, I don't think that is a critical role that needs to be filled right away as they are mostly hidden as the underbosses kind of do the day to day stuff for them. I'm still thinking of ways to start this off, so I will update when I come up with any more ideas.
KodakWolf
Dog
True. But at the same time, I think it makes sense that the big bosses' roles are still empty. I mean, even though they have the most power, they don't usually take a lot of part in the action. They'll stay hidden and rule things from behind a desk, which can get boring for someone's main character. Plus, they are usually much older characters, and I have the feeling most people identify more and feel more comfortable playing younger characters, maybe because of our average ages. So I think the big boss role can end up being filled up by a secondary character, which is not a bad thing like dvds said.
KodakWolf

I'm checking the roles list and imo I think we just need maybe a mole and either an advisor or a crime lord for family A, and law enforcement agents (most interesting would be an undercover cop or a detective). All the other roles can be easily filled up by npcs until someone comes up with an interesting character for these roles.
dvds12
Hello!
Yeah i agree that family A is looking a little empty. I was thinking if no one wants it that I have a character that can take the advising role for family A if we need one for the story to continue. I can always update the interest thread to look for new people if we need more roles filled, or people can have two roles to fill the gaps.Anyway before we do that though we really need a solid plot or starting event to get us started.
KodakWolf
Dog
That could work. The only characters I have are Jamie and Erik now, and I don't think Erik'd be a good advisor unless the advised person is easily manipulated xD so it would be nice if you added the character.
Also, I think everyone could take a look at all the characters and see if they have a character that'd make for an interesting plot with the ones we already have. Sure, filling the roles is important, but if someone has a character that could add a lot to the plot but doesn't fit the roles, they could introduce them here and maybe add them to the rp despite the fixed roles.
Also I'd like to state that I really hope you people don't leave xD (and I manage to keep up). In my last experiences we started with 20 people, and 2/3 eventually disappeared... so just in case we should keep the interest check thread open and recruiting, at least until the rp's solid and going.

Hello!
Yeah I agree, I will update it with a better idea of what this rp is about and bump it saying we are still looking. I really hope this rp doesn't die, as I am really excited to get back into group rps. I have a few characters that could be interesting to throw in, but I don't want to add too many characters to fast when we don't know how to start yet
KodakWolf
Dog
Me too. My last group rp died out of crazy conflicts and it a had a lot of potential, and the same theme as this one, so I hope this one works or I'll just stick to 1x1s forever xD
And yeah, sure! We'll eventually end up with several paralell scenes so all the characters can be actively doing something all the time, but the start we'll probably have a single setting, and if we have too many characters, they can end up out of place.
We can, however, add other character sheets, either in the existing thread or in a new one, for planning purposes, if we feel the need to plot for the future

I actually think putting the characters names would confuse people.
