Ok, I don’t know where you get the idea from that I’m suggesting we hold interviews in here (in the forum) …

I haven’t seen any interviews on the Daily, so I thought I suggest some kind of interview-format ON-THE-DAILY!
Interviews are a great way to create(!) RP; we get an insight into the minds of some of our denizens- Whoever interviews them…[Read more]

As far as I know you do have non-physical contributors to the daily, right? I mean contributors to the paper that do not have an actual avatar on DE. So that would be no different.
The benefits of allowing such contributions obviously outweighs the disadvantages of not actually playing it out massively – makes for better interviews too. Frankly…[Read more]

Sounds very interesting. We could use the cinema as some kind of multi-purpose facility, that is a location for all kinds of events. (seminars, town hall meetings, political debates, concerts, premieres, cinema, AA ….) Everything that functions like a “classical” market place is a very positive thing.

….aaaand h) compile a public list of two or three RP-classes, so that everyone can grosso modo choose who he’s playing with:
For instance:
1) episodic players/ purely crime oriented players/ super-villains who want to be in the papers constantly etc.
2) long term players and/or more moderate players/ players willing to deal with consequences.

The problem obviously lies at the root of the idea of DeadEnd. The application system, the key-interest of most players (apparently), the description of the game, the rules in place, streed cred as a quantitative thing etc. all of those things will simply attract a certain type of RPer. There’s a lot more to be said about this topic; but I’ll not…[Read more]

Hey everyone,
I just stumbled over this topic; haven’t been on in a while.
I agree with a lot of the points. As a matter of fact I’ve raised a very similar issue a few months ago in the following thread; I also suggested possible solutions:

Death Penalty and Jail Time.

Now since people might be reluctant to…[Read more]

shade manx,
thanks for your explanations; seems like a lot of good things are in the making.

“A few things to keep in mind about what you are saying.. When you start to consider the death penalty for our constant “bad guys” you risk taking away an element of Rp that is needed.. Conflict, yes you might be adding conflict when you suggest thi…[Read more]

Warumono mode,
thanks for your contribution. I see your point. Enforcing to “kill someone else’s playtime” is a little problematic. But then again, we could make jailtime a worthy experience on it’s own, maybe by elaborating it a little.
A little anecdote: I know that recently a denizen has spent a day in prison (if i’m not mistaken) for having…[Read more]

Well my focus isn’t necessarily on people having to go through the actual legal process. I personally think the process would be exciting. Those who might disagree with that however, could simply skip the process leading up to the death penalty for instance. Ok, maybe that’s a little trickier when it comes to longer jail sentences…
In short, we…[Read more]

Akima,
I know she wasn’t bragging. All I’m saying is there’s way to make the street cred- ranking system count more. Wouldn’t it be cooler to have high street cred with something on the line?

Jaylah sass,
I see what you’re saying; thanks for your opinion. Just to make my point clear: I’m not suggesting we “lessen the excitement”, or make it “less…[Read more]

Sorry, there’s no edit button.

“what you are suggesting is turning the entire concept of Deadend over and making it a new rp-sim.”

Thanks for your input.
Not at all. My suggestions are not as radical as they may seem. The death penalty and a wider range of jail time are mechanisms that help keeping crime (entity of it) and crime rates more…[Read more]
