It's time for a new game, since it has been a while (if Mods/Admins think it's better left in Chit-Chat please move this). I'm not so much into the whole complicated RP'ing, so i figured it would be more fun if most features would become player defined.

Anno 2011 (right now) a new island came out of nowhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, it's about half the size of Belgium. For some miraculous reason there are people living there who have little to no recollection of the past, all they have is their basic skills (work, language, etc...).

Total population - 55,000
Major villages:
Large village c/a 20,000 residents - relies on agriculture and fishing (is near the sea)
Median village c/a 17,000 residents - relies on agriculture and hunting/gathering
Small village c/a 12,000 residents - relies on agriculture and has a huge totem pole in it's centre

Most other people live in small hunter/gatherer community's throughout the land.

Religion - nothing defined jet, except that there is a huge totem pole in the small village which happens to be in the geographical centre of the island.

Location of the island:

Whatever happens from up here, is mostly player defined (how culture, and the parties develop. As long as one sticks to the set parameters). All i will do as a Game Master is introduce random (and not so random) events and challenges. Turns will be done on every weekly day i have time (so mostly tuesday and thursday).

If you wish to register type down your characters name; party affiliation (or whether you wish to remain non-alligned) and location. If you wish to do something 'secret' send me a PM (you all know the drill me thinks).

Players -

'Leftie' - Augustus Brown from Large village
'Astarte' - Donny MacMahon from small village.
'Sinred' - Orjan Perotti from large village
'TheGodlessUtopian' - Irvin Rockland from a tiny village

Edit: i'll give a small example. Say you start in the small village. Then you can preach to your fellow villagers that the island is one giant turtle. The start of a religion...

Sure, just site your (in-game) name, location and well your a woopie :). You can send actions through PM or post them in public. Monday will be the first official turn after which the game will take shape. It's similar to BoP in this perspective but less restrictive.

Added, you can file your actions before monday (the first turn). I hope more will follow :).

I deleted the factions, apparently it's a turn-off for most people. I hoped it would enhance the roleplaying aspect. But now it will simply be a tribal society.

Can i be a disgruntled marxist from Sweden that grown so incrisingly bitter and tired of everything that i (upon notice) took the chance, gathered the simplest of belongings (clothes, liquor, three pack of smokes, a glock and my laptop), hijacked a boat and went straight to Atlantis making me the islands first immigrant?

Either way: my name is Orjan Perotti, large village.

About the island:
Is its "technology" primitive or modern?
Does it have electricity?
Rocks, swords or guns?

I shall be Irvin Rockland, a struggling writer who comes to one of the small villages to gain inspiration for my new book.

(other details will be added later,but yes,what is the technology level? How does society function? Are there science fiction or fantasy elements?)

I'll play as ... Donny MacMahon from California. Donny came to the island to live his petty bourgeois hippy life-style "away from The Man" and has settled in the small village.

Well, the island has jet to be discovered by the outside world, but you could make it so that by some miraculous reason (or a streak of luck) you already discovered it. Make a fun story out of it :).

Primitive



Does it have electricity?
no



Rocks, swords or guns?
Spears (and rocks i suppose).

I'm assuming one of the un-mentioned villages, added.



How does society function?
The people themselves have no idea on how they want/can make society function as of jet. It's mostly based around tribal connections currently.



Are there science fiction or fantasy elements?
No, though of course the level of realism isn't massively high either (considering it's an island that came out of nowhere).

I'm not sure where he is...maybe someone should talk with him about his plans and see if someone else can take up the game if he no longer feels like hosting?
