Standard Ideas for AWOL RP - Add Here

[nibbles]

.... although I do have a consistent flow of stranded ideas flying out the back of me.


So since we're going to have the RP server up and running some time soon, why not open up with some ideas/changes, just to keep us that little bit in front of other RP servers.


1. One thing I noticed on most of the RP servers I played on was that money was always saved regardless of death/connection issues. So there was no decent banking/deposit system..

Depending on the map used, various atm's could be placed around the map which act as access points to your cash, as well as a single area/prop which can act as safe deposit boxes in a bank, to store items.


2. Carrying on from the banking system... droppng a wallet or a small box which contains your possessions upon the players death. Bringing more reason to use the banking system. Other RP servers play it too easily in terms of their money. Let the players give a bit more care for their money.


3. Instead of carrying the actual weapon itself, why not have Concealable Weapons which are presentin your inventory, but aren't present in your weapon slots. Upon using hte concealed weapon, the weapon appears in your weapon slot.

Eugh! Are we playing DarkRP?

No cops, there just minges who have been given stunbatons, arrests sticks and pistols.
No guns/weapons given to jobs/classes/businesses
I had banking implemented in AWOLRoleplay 1 and dropping money on death, I'm not sure if I will implement it in 2.
I'm considering a mayor, not sure what he/she would do though because
Lockdown is stupid, people just activate it randomly
and there won't be any cops so there wont be court hearings.
and other then that they don't do much.

Class ideas so far
Trader - Makes ingredients (for crafting) and other general stuff.
Chef - Crafts food
Medic - Crafts medkits, healthvials and anti addiction medicine.

This is sort of if we did have cops, but what about the City Administrator/Mayor has the ability to hire, demote and promote police officers, can up their pay within the rang of $100, and also has the ability to spawn shipments of stun batons, pistols, etc.
Of course the City Administrator job won't be open to anyone, only the best of the best have the ability to do so. Just a thought.

AnarchyRP?

A post-civil war town that's been left to fend for itself, with an elected Mayor serving in the best interests of the town, and each shop owner hiring guards to stop the looters from killing them and stealing everything they own?

[RoaR]

NMD Gaming was starting to develop their RP but I am not sure if it will happen.

1950's RP

Gangs, cops and everything in between.

Maybe you guys could do something with this?

AWOLRoleplay will never again be a real life roleplay, that was a horrible idea. It cant work because the same rules can't be applied to a game. Thats not to say it can't be based off a time period, it just has to be made up so people don't try to bring stuff from real life into the roleplay.

The AnarchyRP sounds like a good idea, but I want to lean more towards a council. The council would control the town/city and be able to do some administration stuff. There would most likely be a house/shop/apartment seperated off as there office in each map.

@Spiffy There will never be cops but the council/mayor/anybody could roleplay making them cops and then give them guns.

Also there will never be a jailstick, its call roleplay for a reason but a stunbaton that just slows them down could work.

mmm... i recall back when i used to play The Specialists RP (hl1 mod with RP mod) getting jobs wasnt as simple as it is in gmod RP servers... you actually had to go on the forums and post an application, for the job. If they were accepted (by the appropriate leader) they keep that job until the point where they resign or are fired by a superior.

Could this be an idea?

Hey Mech, Mount & Blade RP!.. lol.
N E Way not bumping myself, but BUMP! (http://teamawol.net/showthread.php?t=221)

[Mechanical Mind]

That could work, but it would have to be seperate to businesses (Chef,Trader,Medic,etc).

Ninjaed!

Just to reiterate myself, I won't be making a Mad Max Roleplay, if I do make a Mad Max gamemode it would be a RPG and thats not gonna happen anytime soon (even though they are great movies) nor WW1 since thats a real life roleplay.

[Kannon]

Make a Rp About Clowns and Ninjas

[Mechanical Mind]

YES! Best idea ever!

PS: Not actually
