Castle Paradox

planethunter · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2003 10:12 am Post subject: just an idea...

I was thinking about an rpg the whole community could participate in...
(in it's constuction that is). Anyway I came up with this sketchy idea.

How about something like CP rpg, where all the main characters are popular members of cp, and the game itself is staged in the castle and one can vist all the various rooms associated with cp (#castleparadox, the dungeon to name a few).

Anyway the cp members could draw themselves and the player could choose what member they want to be in the game... I guess one could have some fun playing a moderator... slaying spammers and the like.

What do you guys think? Any takers? I reckon a plot of somekind could be created too... I know with the surge of contests recently some people would be slightly put off... but a decent idea all the same, yes?

oh and if anybody is wondering what the dungeon is... it's the place for banned members!

This idea (or similar ideas) has been attempted several times... and with unsuccessful results.

Kudos to anyone who is actually able to pull it off.

Well , this project sounds great and I will help in anyway I can . Might I suggest that the combat is very limited and insted consentrate on role playing rather than hack and slashing ? More info on the modding please ?

Im looking forward to this Raspberry!

I would deem it quite fair for the individuals themselves to decide what role they should play in the game, by designing themselves... not just their picture but their attacks (by that I mean strategies), personality... (I think that should be agreed upon though by all first, by voting or what-not)

I did not intend for this rpg to be put across as another "hack and slash" I just mentioned it as a matter of personal choice, if hacking and slashing is you're thing, then choose some brute member or something...

I'm leaving the plot 100% open to input, considering all I can come up with at the moment is attending to the tasks of what goes on at CP...

And I guess if you wanted to be a Moderator, and power is you're thing... you could govern the castle in a crude dictatorship by attempting to overthrow all the other mods. (which is a bad idea!)

Then on the other hand, one could try to favour things good... by helping other memebers and (if you chose to be a mod) deal with annoying spammers and the like).

Those are just two contrasts I randomly dug up, I'm sure you can see that there are other paths waiting to be chosen. I have laid out just two paths to be taken... I'm sure there are alot left that can be taken by talk and less action.

I have already made a start on this , and it is going very well . After speeking to Chaos Nyte on the IRC last night , I have thought about the certain roles available . For example : Chaos Nyte , Castle Paradox King , text :"What are you doing in here ! You need an apointment with me . guards ! Idiot ...." And you presently get chucked out of the throne room . Any way think along those lines .

I've got the castle maptiles ready which I can send to anyone who wants to see them . For the sake of my sanity I think that the maxium number of people's entrees should be about a hundred . Im not ready for any entrees yet , wait for more details .

PS: Chaos Nyte did not prvide me with the text , It was made-up for an example . Any offence caused , was accidental .

I'd like to take a look at the tilesets and what-not, if that's ok. This should be interesting.

No ones talked about THE PLOT just the outlines so this is a plot idea

The dungeon(place of the banned ones CP parrel of hell) as been opened and crazy bad guys are running around the place so you have to kill as many as you can and find the CPK(castle paradox key) and lock the dungeon and send those mofos back to hell...(sorry carried away)

Charecter stuff

Moderator-have super powerful attacks using internet and delete based attacks.

Board master- Powerful summoners that can create vehicles and alter programs a formidable match agonst the bad guys.

User- normal folk that are just members of CP. But with the power to create stuff (reffering to the way we make games)

I gess the three ranks could be tweeked tobe equal somehow.

Or

Those three ranks could be used to select game difficulty at the begining

but thats just an idea

Actually.. that's a pretty good idea. It'd give you more things to do based on power.

PlanetHunter and my-self have agreed that for now , the story is low prioraity and can wait .

The game is not a hack fest , AKA there is no "fight the dragon - Save the princess" there will be combat but the game is more about scocial interaction rather than killing everyone you meet .
