LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,COUNTRYMEN AND FOREIGNERS ALIKE!
Today I come to you with a thought I have long wished to see become reality, so now I make it so.
-----------------------------------
Here's how this works: Some time ago I got this wacko thought in my head, and for some reason or the other it just would not leave. As I was thinking, it morphed and eventually I got thinking at a higher level. I got to thinking to myself "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we got all of RpN's best writers, took their stories, and shoved them all in to the same universe?"
I mean, just think about it.
Many of our best games and stories are PERFECTLY compatible. So many times it has been that I have looked between two RP's and said "Hold up. These two would be really nifty if they were in the same universe."
The thing is that RpN already has most of the necessary ingredients. We've got Genera types, we've got the Casual/Detailed groupings, but what is it we don't have? Unity.
The theory is that writers from all around RpN of all levels of writing come in and browse a series of universes set up for specific themes or styles of stories and - should they like what they see - apply to have their RP included in that particular universe. Games that are great will find their way in really quick, although games that don't quite fit that universe's theme might be directed to a different, more compatible universe or have someone coach the applicant in how to make their RP better suited for that section.
The universes themselves will be a lot like your classic Guilds or Clans, or even the Groups found on Deviantart. Each one has their own mission statement, have their collection of stories, have their "moderator" (be they a legit one or no) and have a place for cross game discussions. The members could ask their fellow RPers if certain crossover/cameos to/from their game would be acceptable and maybe even participate in intergame events (mega plots that can spawn from either the universe's leaders or its members) and competitions from time to time.
I know this all sounds more like a whole 'nother site and its organisation system maybe, but I think that we could make it work just fine on RpN itself. If we can do what I am about to mention.
Now that I've brought the idea up, what we will all need is a bunch of people who want to hop in on the action and at least one Mod or Admin that would be willing to sponsor and advise this project as it is developed. Both parts are equally important as I need the Staff to make sure that this caters to as many people as possible and turns out as cool as it can, and the roaring screaming crowd of RPers so that D-Wiz or his homies will see that this isn't just one guy's crazy idea but something that a lot of people want. That and so that this thing actually will have members.
Now, the only way that is going to happen is if everyone who finds this goes and tells their buddies on here who they think might be interested, and then they contact more RPers and so on and so forth. After we draw this massive collection of people here, we will have to find a way to set up conferences with different groups (the main group will be split into smaller ones depending on the size) and we begin the creation of our pan-RP-universes.
Comments? Questions? Concerns? Ask away. Anything you have to say is appreciated. If you would like to join the RPers Coalition, please tag me and announce your allegiance to the group.
Thank you.
