Was curious what the interest in an Atlantis RPG would be here
hell yeah
Absolutely!! I'd be all for it. And an SG1... hey, a crossover.
Well feel free to post your ideas, would you like it as a game like Miriani or like a website RPG like on livejournal or xanga?
agree with all the posts.
not sure how'd i want it, but i'd love it.
Was thinking of doing this website based, any ideas are 100% welcome and will be considered if they are realistic.
Something website-based would be good. And I think... well, I think it should be an RPG in terms of interacting with other characters, but I think it should be possible for you to go off and do things on your own, without necessarily having to interact with other characters. Before I give more input, I'd like to know... do you want SG1 ideas, atlantis ideas, or both?
this is mainly an atlantis RPG but I will include certain parts of SG-1 but mainly its Stargate Atlantis
so give me mainly atlantis ideas but include a few SG-1
K. Oy. How much detail do you want? Let's talk about the gates first.
For simplicity's sake, a semiextensive library of gate addresses should automatically be given to you when you create your character. However, there should be a number code-- 1 through 36 as there are 36 symbols on Lantian gates, that you can enter a random series of seven numbers to try and connect to other worlds. Also, other addresses to new worlds should be discoerable somehow as characters progress. And the gate to earth should only be accessible from atlantis. More ideas soon!
Ok if we do this on xanga or livejournal, how do we decide which gate addresses the characters orginally know?
It could depend on where they choose to call home. If they're based at Atlantis, then they obviously have access to the Lantian gate libray. If they're from another planet, then they'll know addresses of worlds they've traded with, and maybe Atlantis's address. If someone plays a Wraith, um... I don't know. I have no idea how the wraith get their gate addresses.
hmm good idea, I've decided that the hosts, will be called Ancient Council and if done on a blog site will have the authority to shape and shift the roleplay from the wraith attacking to defending the Atlantis Base
Speaking of Ancients... are we going to have them be playable characters? Or will the hosts be the only ones who can have the title ancient?
having decided, I'm leaning towards only the hosts, but I might open the ancients to special others when a plot calls for such
I think that's a good idea. especially considering how rare they ar ein sTargate itself. We wouldn't want a flood of Ancients.
the hosts would consist of 6 people whom will be the only remaining living of their kind and they may have more than host accounts on the RPG given that this will start out most likely on a website like xanga.
don't forget however that SG1 will have to come in to play after a while, because if it weren't for SG1, atlantis would never have existed.
SG-1 will be part of the game, but in an limited role. And I am thinking of doing SG-1 like the ancients and opening them up only when the plot calls for it. But SG-1 will be in this RPG
this sounds like a really intresting idea for a game. as i said before, i'd love to be in it, and i know a lot about stargate both SG1, and atlantis. i'd be willing to help if you needed it.
I will be looking for my ancients soon...really soon and I havent decided between xanga or livejournal yet.
ok folks I cant decide and before I choose my ancients, I'd like to know if you would like it on xanga or livejournal.
Why go to all the trouble? I found this on mud connector. http://www.mudconnect.com/mud-bin/simple_search.cgi?Mode=MUD&mud=Stargate:+Atlantis+MUSH
I tried connecting using mushclient, but couldn't make sence of it. perhaps you have to create a character to explore properly, but it does let you log in as a guest to take a look around. I'm putting this up here to see if anyone else has better luck with it.
mushes dont often have things to go and kill, eventually we want to take this from the Website to the MUD and combine both SG-1 and Atlantis to form a game that has never been seen before, there is only about 3 website games that have ever gone from website to mud and we'd like to be the 4th once it is started
it depends on what is more workable for screen readers for the host
live journal is the better due to it having audio captcha.
that's what i'd vote for then
I've created a main atlantis rpg site and community on live journal. http://atlantisrpg.livejournal.com/
will give the community address when I get that but if you want a character in this rpg please do it in this style character_atlrpg this is for your username, so do your characters first name.
if you need any help, see me here. also if you join please post your character here so I know
hmmm it would be a good idea to have it not like a mud. This would still have text and all, but say this becomes a big earner. I would have a client to maybe add patches or something of nature
well the idea of a website based rpg turning into a mud was the orginal idea because on websites all you can really do is rp.
that's true
Alright folks here it is, the rp is open on live journal and as we speak the process of turning it into a mud has started lets all enjoy ourselves
now taking characters, follow the intructions here and pleaSE HAVE at least a small amount of knowledge of stargate
I think for this based type of thing, even considering doing it on a website isn't good.
For is complexity it needs to be a mud, coded from either pennmush, tinymux, moo, or any of the mud programming languages out there.
If your doing it website based, your not getting the full complexity of what stargate is, and your players aren't getting that full experience.
this is only for starters, we never said it was going to stay on a web site
We are only starting on a website, as stated above in one of my posts, this is already been started in being coded into a Mud. Coding a mud is a slow and hard process. So I opted to let folks RP with it until its ready for public beta
ok I'm still taking ideas and if you join or plan on joining please tell me who you are so we dont get two of the same character
Hmmm, think I'll wait till the mud version is out.
I respect your decision to do that but if you change your mind then your welcome to join us sooner
ok while this is being coded, those that want to join the stargare fan google group may do so at http://groups.google.com/group/atlantisfans/
true, true. But I don't think that there should be one update and that's the end. I think that when the mud is out, continue to make updates for it
well I'm going to use the google group and a new website is coming soon for the mud part for updates
exelent! What's the sight/?
give it to you but currently I'm working on stuff trying to get a few things working somewhat
okay, that's cool, but when you get things worked out, will ya give it to me?
sure
Now for your pleasure, the stargate atlantis/SG-1 google group can be found at http://groups.google.com/group/atlantisfans
Ok this is coming around really slowly as a mud, if your interested in doing it currently as a website RPG while I'm coding the mud please respond here or send me a private message.
Hm, I'd focus more on the mud, and not worry about the website, and when you do get that mud up and running, your probably going to have one hell of a player base, Especially with the big rpers.
well, if i can work in the game with my class work you know i'd stay with you. especially now since i've been able to catch up on some of my atlantis shows.
Well since for now this is going to a website based I'd love some ideas
