Red Dominion

[zeromanzx]

A massive orc covered in red and gray steel enters the war room.

"My brothers, my sisters, the time for war has come! We have chosen a land rich in supplies, and are planning to invade. The alliance already have a grip on the area, so we must hit hard and swift. We will be the thunder from the hills, the hurricane that sweeps through the land. The horde legion will make this land and its resources it's own. We need soldiers, builders, miners, blacksmiths, tailors, everything." He turns his gaze to a map in the center of a room, with an alliance flag on one side, and a horde flag on the other. "Everything... to destroy the Alliance. We must not let them stand in our way. I call on you again, brothers, sisters. The time for war... is now."

This RP will be a roll based war between Alliance and Horde in an area that has yet to be determined. There will be group battles and boss fights with high ranking members of each side.

Each side will have set outfits to wear depending on class. As the storyline progresses each side will have chances to upgrade their armor and such. Having resource advantages will give you advantages during battle. What kind of gear you wear will effect your abilities in battle.

Using a shield will make you less likely to be critically hit, but give you a decreased chance to get critical hits yourself.

Using a 2 hander will increase your chance to get a critical chance, but will also increase the chance of receiving one.

Bosses have high amounts of HP and depending on their offensive choice have great advantages over their enemies.

Using a shield will make a boss immune to critical hits.

Using a 2-hander will make a boss get a critical hit every time they hit, If they get a roll that would be a critical hit normally, then their damage is tripled.

During a battle, you will fight for objectives, leading up to a boss fight. There are different ranks of bosses, from Lieutenants up to the Overlord. All of them range in difficulty from being able to 1v1 the boss, to having to have an entire group to fight him.

More will be discussed once we get more people interested. And more will be planned. There is still much to be determined. Such as:

The zone in which this will take place.

The Alliance General

What sort of progression will be available and how this will be made fair.

Advantages to the losing team so that once a team gets ahead they don't become unstoppable.

More is to be decided and changed as we progress and hopefully gain members.



This whole RP will be military based, and does not really have a back story. It has as much of a back story as any other battle zone between teh Horde and Alliance. This is a war for land, suppplies, power. It is a open Arathi Basin, or Warsong Gulch. Just with many twists. Think of it as a RP Alterac Valley. You must gather supplies to better gear your troops and assure victory in the upcoming battles. You will fight for mines, lumber mills, farms, what ever the land holds that can be of use to you.

Each control point in the zone will have its own advantages, and I will personally be keeping track of resources, and what sort of upgrades are available. There are different classes among each side that are very similar.

Soldier - The obvious backbone of your sides power. These are the ones that will do the battles. Everyone will take up roll as a soldier, and will have one of the following as a secondary title.

Miner - Is exactly what it says it is. Once the soldiers gain control of a mine, these men and women will get to work gathering supplies from them to bring back for upgrades such as better armor or weapons.

Lumber worker -Simply put, these workers will work at lumber yards once the soldiers have secured them. This will give a resource income for buildings such as:

Guard Towers
Base Defenses
Siege Equipment
Workshops
Forward Bases

Builder - A builder will construct with the materials brought from lumber yards, many things including those listed above.

Blacksmith - They will use the supplies from mines to construct and upgrade weapons and armor.

Medic/Engineer - If a soldier wishes they may become a medic or an engineer. Both these units will be in charge of tending to the wounded on the battlefield, and fixing up damaged buildings/siege equipment.

Much of this I am sure will be changed in the near future, so keep an eye and please consider joining the RP and helping me set things up!

Me thinks this belongs in Event Planning as it is not s guild!

[c0rzilla]

Is it just me, or do all of your RP ideas revolve around a Red vs Blue battle mentality?

[zeromanzx]

Is it just me or is every RP idea i make un-fairly judged into something it's not? I mean i agree that the red vs. blue idea was bad. But now I cant start RP between Horde and Alliance without you saying that its red vs. blue?

---

Sorry to tell you, World of warcraft has always been Horde vs. Alliance. And the colors they are always associated with is, guess what, Red and Blue.

[Evaszion]

I do beg your pardon, and I know I'm continuing drama that I shouldn't, but the fact that you well, one, shrugged off my comment, and two were a bit of a jerk to Corzilla. How was she unfairly judging it into something it's not? No one reads the first two sentences of a post, along with the title, then goes, "HURR HURR U SUK LOLOLOL", which is basically what I think to believe your mentality on Corzilla was. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

[Anski]

Hey, let's drop this.

Now.

[zeromanzx]

Ok, lets say That I missed something from my own post that shows this is somehow related to a bunch of retards in a canyon fighting each other trying to play capture the flag but never getting anywhere because they are all morons, but it is all made for comedic purposes.

So I shall listen, and would like you to tell me where This post Suggests that.

And no I was not being a jerk. Every post I have made on this forum SOMEONE usually EVERYONE has a problem with. Whether it is saying that it is just plain a bad thread or someone relating it to something that it only has the slightest thing to do with, "AkA the colors the two sides are associated with." Why is it that from day one that i joined this forum, almost everyone has been against me in almost everything I try to do?

Is it just me, or do all of your RP ideas revolve around a Red vs Blue battle mentality?

I have tried Alcaz Island prison guard trying to keep prisoners in, But no, someone else did that so noone wanted to join.

I tried Troll RP but no, I apparently had to make an essay on why trolls were in a troll city.

I tried Blood elves vs. draenei, but no, it was red vs. blue not blood elves vs. dranei so no one wanted to join.

And now I want to RP horde vs. alliance BUT NO, It is also Red vs. blue and apparently all ideas stated above are of a red vs. blue mentality.

Let me ask this community, What have i done to offend so many of you that I have yet to even talk to? What have I done to not deserve a chance to try and start my own RP without it being related to stupid things, or thrown away as a bad idea because someone else already did it.

[Esthrunil]

I don't think Corzilla was associating the idea with Red vs. Blue, the show.

I don't even think Corzilla knows what that is. >_>

I think what Corzilla was more saying was, "I notice that a lot of your ideas are relating to color-coded teams, fighting each-other."

I can understand your exasperation, but I think this was all just a misunderstanding. No harm, no foul, non?

[zeromanzx]

That may be so but in my Dranei vs. Blood Elves idea they actually posted a red vs. blue picture...

[Anski]

I don't think I was arrogant enough in my post.

Let it go. Now. Any further arguments will be dealt with accordingly. The remainder of this thread will be for constructive talking about the guild/idea planning. No more arguing about this.

[zeromanzx]

And due to wanting to know who did that, I just checked. No misunderstanding, it was infact Cor that posted the red vs. blue picture.

[c0rzilla]

Because it seems to those who are "against you" like you habitually put in as little effort as possible, and boil everything down to black and white, stick figure militaristic conflicts. And, I was not referring to the internet series, but the general sense of two shallow sides in gaming. Red vs Blue is the easiest way to say, and understand it.

And, when people try to help you, you snap at them. We have certain criteria, standards, and styles here.

There is more to World of Warcraft than their battlegrounds. That is what this server looks for and is about.

Now, then.

You seem to be trying to RP out the Alterac Valley battleground.

The problem is, getting all these things built. The guard towers, the bases, the siege engines. Unfortunately, CotH is very limited on what can be built and spawned. The building of custom areas have all but died. It takes something on a months planned, GM controlled event to do something this big.

Talk to the GM Hawk about his Horde campaign, about participating in that. Maybe you can get ideas from him about running something militaristic like that yourself.

[Evaszion]

To follow Queen Shakespeare's rules, I'm going to be constructive! Yeah!



First off, I'd suggest asking for this moved to Storyline/Event Planning/Roleplay Ideas due to it not being a guild, as I have stated multiple times above! Now, not that this is a necessity or anything, but I'd suggest making your stuff a bit bigger because the print on this forum is occasionally hard to read. I'd suggest maybe around these sizes.

I'd also suggset maybe a Table of Contents along with bigger, bolder, more noticeable breaks in the subject, instead of one wall of text with spaces in between.

EDIT: And to add along to what Corzilla said, there's a limit on what the server's GMs can spawn. Also, you can't ask a GM to summon you into Alterac Valley to do this type of event either. And, not to be rude or derail, but I seem to be kind of ignored in your thread, and I seem like one of the only ones trying to help. I'm probably just being self-conscious though, I do that often.

[zeromanzx]

I never said I was going to do this in AV. I was actually thinking more like the ashenvale Lumber area.

And I just checked you only ever posted on my troll thread lol.

[c0rzilla]

I just got the sense it was akin to Alterac Valley.
