I was just wondering... I have tried starting several starwars RPs and also joined several but they always seem to die out.

Anyone got some advice on what kind of starwars RP might do good and how to keep an RP alive?

If anyone is interested in starting a starwars rp let me know, I am always looking to join a good starwars RP!

I've signed up for a few Star Wars RP's and they always seem to die off too. I'm not really sure why.
Could be with people taking time off from the forum, or being busy with school and other offline stuff distracts them

That combined with doing a Star Wars RP is difficult, because it's just such a rich canon and non-canon history and mythos.

You could do a Rogue Squadron one. But what would they do?

You could do an original trilogy one? But how would you set the story up when it's already been done

You could do a post-Jedi one. That to me seems the less troublesome to conjure a story for.

Hm... never thought about pre-Jedi I have to admit. *shrugs*

Mandolorians, however would be a verry interesting thing to me.

I actually had an idea for that but never really tried it.



The story line would basically be a group of mandolorians (the main characters) meet up during the riegn of the Empire. They decide to try and save the dying race. (since during that time there are verry few mandolorians left)

So they try and gather up all the mandolorians in the universe and creat a new civilization, eventually gaining control of their own planet.

But I wasn't sure if that would be the kind of RP anyoen would be interested in or not.

Hmm. A few points

1. There are MANY Mandalorians during the Imperial Era. They simply reside mostly on Mandalore(Manda'yaim, for those who speak Mando'a)

2. Fenn Shysa has already organized a Resistnace againt the Imperials by this time

3. Even with that, Kad'ika would be active if it is the LATE Imperial era

haha, shows how much I know of the expanded universe. I was told that by episode 4,5 and 6 Boba fet was one fo the few known mndalorians to still exist. (don't realy remember who I heard it from)



However I do have a solution to that as well

I had an alternate idea I was also thinkign aout where some of the clone troopers (through growing as individuals and slight flaws in programing) became independant people. Because they were clones the rest of the mandolorians would not accept them, neither would society so they start there own group of manddolorians and eventually "creat" their own race.

You would have to have some sort of surgery to change faces perhaps so they didn't al look the same, and the race would grow by integrating a few other mandolorians into it that were outcasts or sympathetic to their cause etc...

I'm also pretty much clueless about the expanded universe...but I'd love to join more Star Wars roleplays. That sounds like a really interesting plot, Jax. I'd join!

Mandalorians don't care if they're clones or not. One of thier proverbs is 'Aliit ori'shya tal'din.' Family is more than bloodlines. Kal Skirata and those he helped would be acepted by the Mandos, and since Kal Skirata, a Mando who had adopted over a dozen clones, even a Jedi (albiet after she died), the only way out og the GAR alive is through him.

Sorry to sound negative.

I'd join any Star Wars RP, as long as it has a plot. And I'd say that the most interesting times would be post-Second Galactic Empire (or whatever the comics that are farthest along say, the ones with Cade Skywalker and whatnot) as there is no cannon set for that time. Here is a plot line that I came up with this summer while on vacation. The intro is rather long and may not all make sense, but here goes. Tell me what you think. *Takes a deep breath*

******************

P.S. I've taken a few creative liberties with the SW 'verse here, so bear with me.

It's been over two millennium since Force Users have been seen in the galaxy. The Sith vanished first, having not been seen since the gall of Darth Krayt and his minions in ______ ABY (Don't know the year, its the comics that I was talking about before). Less than a millennium later, the Jedi relinquished all of their control and influence in the galactic government and vanished into the Unknown Regions. After Force-users left, wars no longer were battles between Jedi and Sith, good and evil, with normal people shedding blood for causes they have no real stake in; but are now just mundane things fought over land or resources or ideologies. Some argue that the galaxy would be better off were the Jedi to return as they brought millenniums of peace during the reign of the Old Republic. Others argued that the Jedi returning would invite the Sith back and the Sith-Jedi wars would begin to clam innocent lives once again. And yet others (and these were the majority, though you wouldn't know it for they don't speak their opinions as much as the other two groups) don't care at all.

The Second Galactic Empire once again became the Imperial Remnant, though still under the control of the Fel family. In the initial years after Darth Krayt's fall, the Moffs and generals with enough loyal troops broke away from the Second Galactic Empire. Fell and his Imperial Knights (Force wielders intensely loyal to the Fel family) kept hold of Bastion and many surrounding systems and began to expand again. But that expansion was held in check by the government that formed in the power vacuum left by the Second Galactic Empire's collapse.

hat government was the Confederation of Allied Systems. It is more similar to the Empire than they would like to admit. They have a body of bureaucrats who can be likened to the Senate of the Old (or New) Republic. They have three Triumvirs at their head, though the First Triumvirate is the only one with real power. They can overrule any non-unanimous decision made by the legislature and can only be overruled themselves by a unanimous vote of no confidence. The Triumvirates are elected for life unless the entire governing body, including the other Triumvirates decree that they should step down, but in the millennium of the Confederation's existence, that has never occurred.

n recent years both the Remnant and the Confederation have lost power, especially in the Outer Rim. Two governments have ground, though you could not call either of the a real government when compared to either the Remnant or the Confederation. The Outer Rim Coalition is the newest government, just over fifty years old. The members signed an agreement that said they would levy no taxes on goods imported from other systems that signed the charter and they would help protect each other in times of war but other than that they could run their own planet how they wished.

The other 'government' is the Mandalorian Empire. Technically, it is older than any of the other forms of government, but has only been recognized as more than a planetary government in the last three quarters of a century. They have slowly begun expanding, conquering worlds that no other major government has a claim to. All men, women, and children of the conquered planet were given the opportunity to be adopted by Mando society, and a large number accepted. All resistance on the planets was squelched with a harsh efficiency that consisted of rounding up all rebels and executing them without trial. If anyone bothered to check the records of minerals on the planets conquered, a staggeringly large number of them would contain beskar, or Mandalorian iron.

That beskar is what is now funding and arming their empire. The Mandalorians have begun to mine beskar in secret, forging it into beskar'gam, Tra'kad, Besii'ulik, and other warships. They sell ships in the galactic market, but those ships have lower spec weapons and hyperdrives and the beskar plating is less pure than the ships available to Mandos.

Their government is the same as it has always been; the Manda'lore making the major decisions that affect all Mandos, but he or she leaves other decisions to the local leaders or family heads. If ever a Manda'lore is killed, another one takes their place, making it impossible to eliminate the head of government for Mandalorians. Plus the Manda'lore doesn't rule the Mandalorians like an Emperor or Chancellor would rule his government. This was proven to the galactic governments about half a millennium ago, when the Remnant and Confederation worked together to exterminate all Mandos as the Mandos had been pirating the shipping lanes and costing bother governments a lot of money. The Manda'lore of the time was killed, but his successor punished the Confederation and the Remnant by bombing their government buildings, though they made sure that the buildings were mostly evacuated at the time of the bombings. This act of retribution displayed what would happen if the campaign against the Mandos continued.

************************

There is more that I'll add later, but I'm taking a break for the moment.

K'oyacyi!

np I'm just throwing ideas around.


It looks like several people are interested it a starwars RP, though.


Maybe if we come up with a good storyline everyone likes we coudl start one up.




Yeah Saffron Orange, most of my knowledge is in the movies and what I hear by word of motuh. (I can't read much... it just doesn't hold my attention. )



Although if anyone is interested in my idea about the clones I went ahead and started an RP on a starwars forum (I finally found one with relaxed RPs instead of strickt rules lol)
if anyone is interested go here http://arwen-undomiel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19380

Weapon technology has advanced, but only slightly. Blasters are the same as they always have been, seeing as there is only a limited number of ways to compress Tibana gas before it cannot be compressed further. Bardium refining has gotten even better, and now thermal detenators that can be hidden in a grown man's fist have the same power that the larger dets in the First Galactic Empire did.

The Anti-Proton cannon is one of the more recent technological advances pioneered by the Mandos and their Verpine allies. It fires anti-protons, which are protons that have a negative charge (kind of like anti-matter) and an anti-proton will react explosively when it encounters a positively-charged proton (like those found in all nuclei). The AP cannon shoots a stream of anti-protons at near light speeds (99 PSL (Percent of Speed of Light)). The AP cannon is not effective past 4 light seconds (1,200,000 Km / 745,000 Miles). AP cannons are only found on larger ships, anything from a corvette up, but the technology is highly prized by the Mandalorians and non-Mando ships with AP cannons are very, very rare and the Mandalorian prerogative is to destroy them on site to prevent the spread of the technology.

A new technology that has been developed by the Imperial Remnant's R&D department are effectors. Effectors are tiny nano-bot attack drones that can 'home in' on specific individuals or weapons. If effectors are fired at effectors, they can intercept one another if their paths are close enough together. Effectors are created in small reservoirs inside of the weapons. Effectors can be found in two types of weapons. One is a long, cylindrical tube modeled after lightsabers. This weapon, the Force Lance, or Lance, can extend to the length of a quarterstaff for use in melee combat but other than that its sole useful property is its ability to be quickly aimed and to wield one Lance in each hand with no difficulty. The other type is like a regular blaster. These fire more effectors in one shot than the Lance and have a larger reservoir of effectors. These weapons are a closely guarded secret of the Imperial Remnant.

The Mandalorians, with the aid of the Verpines have become the premier ship manufacturing agency in the known galaxy. Their ships are armoured with beskar and are the fastest in both sublight and hyperspace. All of their technology is sold to others at a lower spec than is available to Mandos. With their recent advance of AP cannons, they are a serious force to be reckoned with in space combat.

*************************************

Okay, that finished the background, and I'll post the plot tomorrow, but Tur had the right idea, anther Mando war.

Okay so I decided to un-igorant-ify myself. I read up on the Mandalorians, and I'm pretty much surprised at myself for not being fascinated with them before. Usually I like playing Force-users...

Harry Dresden's idea sounds pretty good so far. Some of the technology-talk lost me, but that's normal, for me. xD

Ooooh. Force users went down in flames after I read the RepCom books. See, when the clones showed up, the Jedi didn't asked where they came from, they just used them. The Clones, men though they were, with names, feelings, and a distorted view of the world, were treated as slaves. They had no say, they were shipped off to another front after a defeat or victory, and they suffered heavy casualties. The lucky ones, commandos trained by Kal Skirata, were treated as the man's sons. He actually adopted 11 of them as his legal sons in Mandalorian law. But did the Jedi help? Nope. Quinlan Vos wouldn't even adress the clones by thier names(he was hated by the Clones for that) Heck, a couple Jedi, Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan helped the clones. Both left the Order, Bardan married a Mandalorian woman and helped to raise Etain Tur-Mukan's son with a Clone commando named Darman, after she died defending a clone in Order 66. AND, SO Brigade General Arligan Zey made much of the sentiment towards the clones, as felt by Kal Skirata and his crew, to the Jedi Council, but few even recieved LEAVE.

Taht's why I hate Force-Users. That, and the fact that they wiped out the True Mandalorians under Jango Fett under false pretence.

*grinds the Jedi symbol into the ground and leaves*

lol... The Jedi do have their share of faults, I'll admit that. But not all force users are that way.


It does sound like an interesting plot though.


And as the Mandolorians are aways a fascinating race to play.

Okay, continuing on with my idea, this time on the plot not the background. There are two different ways I had an idea for this, and I'll outline them both. One takes a lot more involvement from everyone to make it work, and the other doesn't take as much.

*****************************

IDEA 1:
We'd be part of the SpecOps division of the Mando navy (kind of like the US Navy Seals). Our job would be to go in and soften up the targets before the bulk of the Mandalorian navy got there. We'd do things like destroy HoloNet transceivers to prevent distress calls (or upload viruses to only allow broadcasts along the Mando wavelength to go anywhere), destroy keep manufacturing or power plants, kill the head of the planetary government, ect.... That's the general gist of it, though it would get more complex as we moved on, but I don't want to spoil it all for you.

IDEA 2:
It'd start out the exact same as IDEA 1, but after a certain point.......Actually, I'll let you guys make this decision if we get that far as to not ruin the surprise.

K'oyacyi!
