I am definitely in.

Excellent! I can't wait. Much sooner than I expected, though!

Hopefully we can get Retrospection squared away before I have to start converting the rules over for all of those, too. That would be a partial nightmare, I think.

I will play, of course!

I am interested in the Jedi part... but I am still unsure if I can fit in with all the rules and such

The rules that Ush will be introducing will be much more simplified than the current ones. Shouldn't be difficult.

Roan Trilanger Reporting for duty!

Now we shall see what Sienar can really do...

You'd better save my ass, Roan.

Becoming Sienar`s apprentice would be pretty cool, Gallagher.

Frankly, I am more keen on OT story at the moment, most likely due to long brake. But I reall want to know what is going on with the Lady.

Rianna is ready to destroy stuff

Yaaaaaaay PT

I'm guessing the most OT stuff we'll be doing for awhile is Retro, Melkor.

Which is fine with me.

I WANT TO GET BACK TO PT ALREADY.

Not enough evilness there, though you made a real bad guy out of Einar... very interesting, of course. I really enjoy your game.

Dak will most definitely be back.

The Psycho Brigade shall be even more of a force to be reckoned with this time 'round!

Hopefully it will pick up soon. Your game required a lot of establishing this and providing background for that and so on.

And I agree! CHAAAAAAARGE!!!

Andro will certainly be back. He owes Gallagher a saving!

I am quite interested in this. I'm in. Sounds very good.

Renegade Jedi look cool. All for it if there's space available.

Oh trust me, there is PLENTY of space for Renegades.

Xeth reporting for Techno-fighting duty!

Any room for newbie? Has vast experiance with UHRP's and has written SW fiction on fanfiction.net?

Well, as we've told people before, this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different than unhosted. And fanfic? A lot of us do that

More like Dungeons and Dragons? I havnt played that but this will be a very interesting experiance so yea I will definately try. So how exactly does the RPing play out? Is it written or just choice based and decided by the RPer? I havent got a clue thus I will probably annoy players. So I am unfortunately not a big fan of the prequel trilogy (SW films) because I think Imperials rock harder than Jabba the exploding Hutt, though Rebels groove to John Williams, which is better. Anyway I'm in. Do you have to be a Force user, Jedi or Sith etc?

I would read the opening post a little more indepth to get an idea for what this game is about. You play either a Jedi Knight, a Renegade Jedi (Renegade, not Gray), or a Dark Jedi.

I also suggest maybe reading some of Ush's past games on here.

Yeah, reading through stuff will help - the first post in this thread explains a lot, and the older game threads are littered all over the forum and will give a good look at how this goes.

And personally, while liking the OT movies better, I find the PT era much more fun to RP in...

Us Darkies can be very mean, btw We love to fight with each other and everything we come across.

Also, I've just remembered that I have a freaking ton of xp saved up. I can't remember if we actually got the xp totals from the third episode, but I had 14 saved before that. I was originally going to raise Rianna's lightsaber score but now I think I want to use that to make her actually have some skills so she's more useful than a rock when it comes to anything but sneaking and killing...

Originally posted by Peach

That's not to say we don't want some new people, of course. We can bicker with each other just as easily, but fresh meat is good too, and I think such a situation will allow all our characters grow as individuals.

...

*snirk*

So what form does the RPing take? I will read the opening post over again even though I read it already. Then I'll sift through theother RP next month as I got exams till 20th of this month... Maths tomorrow, damn!

Here, here's the last game threads from this game. It's really easier to take a look for yourself.

Personally I kind of want another preview of the game but since we're playing so soon, I won't complain too much if we don't get one before it starts

Oh, reading the other RPs doesn't take much; you don't even need to read through them entirely if you don't want to. It makes sense in character as newbies will not have experienced the past experiences that older players have, obviously.

Ush plays the role of host and Gamemaster, pushing the plot along and introducing us to characters and situations that we play through. We decide how we get through different situations (though sometimes there is only one right answer, and one is all you need anyways) and keep alive and hand out justice / terror.

So what I will check now is bio's if I can find one somewhere. I hate them and I had better start planning one out soon, because im terrible at them.

So thanks to Peach too. I have been wodering why you guys never join any of the Hosted RP's? Anyway Rex, hows Karkavos?

Most of us only play Hosted, but I'm assuming you meant Hosted RPs not run by Ush.

Basically, because we are incredibly spoiled by Ush's RPs, which are rather a different caliber than the norm.

Pretty much. I play in one other game, besides Ush's games and Rex's offshoots, but it's outside of KMC. I'm just too used to stuff that's really really good and it's hard finding anything else that lives up to my expectations we ARE spoiled with good games.

Oh yeah, and Rex makes a decent mini-Ush.

Yeah, he's like an apprentice or something.

An evil apprentice, of course, but I'd say that's even better.

Of course evil is better! I mean, we ARE Darkies after all

We're a classy evil, though. The kind that cuts off your arm before feeding it to you.

Sometimes. Other times, we're just like "Yeah, I think you need a saber to the face right now."

Originally posted by Peach

Well, sometime they really do. The stupidity has to hurt them too, and it probably hurts more than a saber to the face.

Honestly, every person we kill? We're doing them a favor.

We're also doing a favor to the rest of the galaxy! See, we're not totally evil, just misunderstood. Sometimes. Other times, we just like to kill stuff...

Hmmm. That's a LOT of slaughter we need to cause, then...

Ours is a long and hard duty, but we willingly go to the chopping block.

...holding the chopper...

For the good of the Galaxy, and the last tiny shreds of sanity it is theoretically possible for us to have!

Also, the Jedi are stupid tightey-whitey Lighties.

We still have any sanity left?

Ahhh! My mistake I actually ment to say: Unhosted Role Playing? So same question, different wording!

I'm actually in the exact same situation as you are now, JR. I have never played Hosted games before, but I believe it will be fun, and pretty interesting.

Personally? I just simply don't like the style of Unhosted games. That and as explained above, I'm used to a certain level of quality and it's one I'm simply not going to find there.

Originally posted by Newjak

I'm guessing no

Then I look forward to it. Heres hoping. Though I really wanted to be an Imperial. Another time then.. I'm in for the experiance and to see if a Jedi can turn to the Dark side in the Hosted Ush Play? What are the usual ways of Ush-Playing? We write what happens to the characters based on our decisions during the game or do we decide on a certain path and let Ush hand down our destiny?

Well, if you don't like being a Jedi much, why don't you join REX's hosted game? Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, Primitive Warriors, Diplomats, etc. You have a lot of more options to choose from.

Ush did run an OT, Imps vs. Rebs game last, but the next one will most likely not be for several years.

It's theoretically possible for a Jedi to turn, but it would have to be related to the plot, I think (and I think that's a major plot point for the Jedi this episode), and thus it's unlikely for a character you make to turn this episode.

It's hard to explain how we play, and much easier to just read the old games and see it. But basically, Ush runs the plot and NPCs, and we as players react to our situations. This may be simple role playing, or you may need to roll off stats to achieve a goal. When fighting occurs, we use a specialized system for that. It's really rather simple, but at the same time you'll need to use your head.

Yeah, there's a big possibility that a couple of the current Jedi could fall, but that's a BIG deal - it's not a concept we take lightly at all, and once it happens, it's done, there's no going back. It's definitely something you do not want happening.

Yes indeed, if you are looking for how to play, or how things work there are all the old games floating around in the dredges of the forum, Go check the out before you play please.
It will make things much easier if you know what happens and how to do it before you jump in.

(("Sure I'll head over there now... Coming artoo?"

The droid twittled a response, extended its wheels and scooted off ahead.

"Hey! Not so fast!" I begin running out of the thread after the little astromech droid. "Waaaaiiiiit!")

Sure I'll head over there now.

yo rex, quick question. will we hafta change the characters in your new rp when ush releases the new system, or will we leave them the way they are?

Yeeeah, I don't actually know about that yet. I'll have to see how things port over from the old system from the new before I decide that, I think. But it is a possibility; it's a pain in the ass trying to run two different systems for the same exact style of game without the players exploding.

kk, just wondering

Aww... I wanted to explode. cry

Explodey is fun

((Breathing heavily. "I lost Artoo... Awww maaan!" Turns to Rex and the guys. "Exploding? What do you mean?" Stutters, trys to catch my breath. "Gah! Hah! Heh! Ehk! Phew! Right. So we don't role play like this?" Smiles and stops role playing.))

So do we make our own characters? Must be a headache for you guys. Anyway. I am terrible with Bios. Will one of you guys help me?

We don't really roleplay at random, no.

Templates help define your character, but really, it's not that difficult to create a character. Hell, one of our old players created a Dark Jedi that had been raised by pirates and that was all we knew about him; deliberate vagueness. Characters don't need to be spelled out, and I find that my best characters are developed over time anyways.

Yeah, I generally work out the details of my characters during play, really - basic stuff about them is really the only thing I come up with beforehand, and half the time that changes a whole lot while the character develops while being played anyway

Yeah, spastic and sudden roleplay is not really what we do here. Only during the games. Though typically our mock hatred of the other side shows in these threads.

Most of us find our characters developing on their own during play, as a result of interacting with everyone else.

Well, there is the very rare random stuff that comes up on MSN...but yeah, for the most part, doesn't happen much

And it's just plain fun how the characters develop while interacting with each other...the creation of the Psycho Brigade and their hatred of Rand (Rianna in particular with the last bit) being a good and incredibly amusing example

Well I was just wondering but if you guys think that that style of Role Play is spastic then I think I should be very insulted. Because some UH RPs are very sucessful and even finish with sucessful stories such as the Hazmat RP... Anyway whatever... I aint childish. So like I said... I may need help soo heres to July!

Don't take it as a direct insult, but UH RPs usually feel too, er, scattered?

Whoever said spastic was bad? Peach and I pretty much define spastic.

That's just not our RP style. Our characters can be spastic too, it's just gonna be in the game threads.

Agreed with both

UH RPs just aren't my style, as I said. Most of us feel the same. We're used to a different style.

And spastic isn't necessarily bad, and yeah, we're definitely the definition of the word. Just we don't do the random out of nowhere spastic RPing.

Ooooh ok I undestand.

There is only one true way to roleplay, of course...

Sorry Rex, by the way, I am busy with stuff regarding graduating my university, so it is hard to focus on RP, but I will try to get back to your game soon!

No worries, Melkor. Take your time.

I cant understand the RP in the other USH games. There is too much OOC mixed in with it but I do like Ush's presentation. Just like the Star Wars NPR's by the late Brian Daley or the audio presetations by the other greats

What exactly do you mean by OOC?

'Out of Character'

...We know what the acronym means. ermm

What we want is an example of what exactly you think is OOC.

Well here now. OOC to me is social talking squashed together with the RP making it undiscernable from the RPing. Though my view is rather broard. In unhosted RP the OOC is placed in either a seperate thread or if it is in the RP thread then usually placed in brackets, which is a good system.

I could be wrong about the OOC but I got really confused trying to read one of Ush's threads.

Generally, our OOC discussion is a separate paragraph from any IC actions we might be making.

And it's easy to tell them apart. IC, we'll be talking about our characters in the third person. OOC, we'll be talking in the first person.

Then again, my experience is with the Darkie gang. I dunno what those weirdo Lighties do.

kk. Sorry about all the questions guys :P

No, you want to learn, apparently. That's a good thing.

Out of character stuff is mainly planning and whatnot, which is too hard, and frankly rather stupid to do in character.
SO its fairly easy to tell.

Thanks, I think?

Well, we did plannning IC as Imperials in OT game, and it pretty cool... but sometimes it slows the game too much.

Ok! Thanks dudes n' dudettes (if im being sexist) for your advice, help, and aflicted infomation! You guys are great, though there are still several RPs in unhosted forum and two in the Star Wars one that I am dedicated to and as such have quite a lot to finish up and tie up, before I can give my full attention to this. Heh heh. What are the Darky threads like?

Probably insane, like they are.
Feel free to check the old threads out. they are on the second page of the RP Forum and are pretty obviously labled.

Uh-huh.. ok. I read Jedi I think.

Originally posted by Jedireaper

The best, of course.

Seriously though, we Darkies have fun. Because we're all Dark Jedi, we tend to bicker and argue about anything and everything, with no provocation, simply because we can. It may not sound great to some, but I really don't think I could play in a team where everyone gets along.

Us Darkies are ****ing insane, basically. Our part of the game is certainly rougher than those wimpy Jedi (), but we have fun with it. It can be a hard thing to transition to, though, especially since we're a pretty close bunch and know what we can get away with with each other.

Plus we do things like charge down a bunch of bad guys while waaaaaay outnumbered...and succeed...and get a fun nickname in the process...

Psycho Brigade....

Our game is getting harder...
Or unless YOU wanna go fight Sinar....

Pfft. I still want to find out what the hell the deal with that Desert of Stones is. I mean, HOW long ago did Rianna have that vision? The very fact she had one at all was shocking enough...

And the Psycho Brigade is awesome. I just like how Jordan and I were like "hehe, that was amusing...new title for us!"

Okay. So if I made a bad move in the Light thread I'll get in trouble for being reckless and not paying attention. And in the Dark thread I'll probably just get a beating and be done with it?

How do characters react... I refer back to my question: 'What form does the RPing take?' Do we write the dialogue and whatthe character does?

Be done with it? We complain at each other (in-character, of course, because it's perfectly in character for our characters to do so) about mistakes made years later. Like how everyone nearly got Rianna killed because they didn't hold the stairs in the Citadel... But the Darkies don't really do the 'forgive and forget' thing. It's more "There's more important things to do than killing you at the moment, but you'll never stop hearing about this."

And the second question...really would be answered by reading the threads. It's the only way you're going to get a feel of the game. Just even read through part of a couple (as they get pretty big).

Count me in =]

Yea, so do I. Y'know what with my finals and the Art History exam today... Anyway... I understand you guys have lives outside of KMC, I mean I aint a dud. I just wanted to know what was happening! So chill guys coool your heals. I'll go post in unhosted for a while instead. Bye. :P

I'm pretty sure you're the one that needs to cool their heels, I mean, we're not constantly asking what's going on especially when it's very clearly stated when this game is going to start in the title of the thread.

And I wish final exams was all I had to worry about anymore...

Yea uhhuh! Great! I got work too...

You can for sure count Jelena in!

I've started to transcribe the rules. I'll try and get them and character creation up around the start of July.

Oooooh yay!

if the rules are symplified, is that also the same for character creation?

Most likely!

neat!

Well, don't go overboard. It's still probably the most involved part of wanting to play.

And it's not like it was ever that horribly complex anyway...

I'm just being reminded of Matrix the first time around.

Originally posted by Peach

But I'm very new at these things... already had to change my character for captainrex's game three times because I didn't fully understand everything

Oh, really, don't worry about it - it gets much easier as you get used to it. Having to redo stuff on your first go is normal But you've already done it once and while the rules are going to be different, if they're anything like the current Matrix system (which I believe they're supposed to be), it's downright easy in comparison.

i had to redo mine like 10 times becausei couldnt find where the rules for certain things were.

Plus once you get through one, you can easily adapt to all of Ush's games.

I'm joining the role-play!

From personal experiance with Trek Wars: The Furry Conflict, the character creation on that site was strict, you couldn't even use exclamation marks without the Moderators kickin me for shouting! Damn! It was a pain in the neck... I've always hated character creation especially full bios. Damn!

Vera-Kin will also be back.

And... uh, whatever experience you had with 'Furry Conflict' is probably not at all anything like anything else anyways...

Will you still be treating us vets to auto-updating? Or maybe we can do it ourselves if we want to, say, tweak things a bit?

Or in my case, make use of the ton of XP I have saved up because I'm no longer going for my original purpose of saving it?

Duelling will be the same in principle, and yes, vets are being converted; there may be a couple of tweaks needed.

Speaking of xp, I need to figure out the rewards for finishing the Retrospection games... can't be something immense, but some small thing...

Just some notes on connversion- due to the stramlining of Force Powers it is now almost impossible to pile all your options into one are and grab an uber-power, so players who did that before may be disappointed.

In fact with all players your breadth of Force Powers is being curtailed. I am trying as much as possible to do this in respect to the spirit of how you originally did it, with two exceptions- a. what I just mentioned above, and b. Gallagher and his many Force attack picks, which are bleedin' useless for an Acolyte.

No worries there, I completely agree with that. I was actually going to ask if I could change that around. Otherwise, Gallagher doesn't have a great deal going for him if all of his powers are, for him, not very effective.

Question for BB.

If Xeth was allowed Alien powers, what would you have had in mind?

All the good ones!

How many are we talking? One or two schticks worth?

Just answer the question you silly bug.

Yes, a small number that you think are appropriate to his design.

Hmm...

I would say Superior Physiology on Agility, to represent the jumpy/flighty natures of Geonosians, and Superior Mental Process, as the Geonosians are superior weapons designers. And throw in Tough Hide for good measure, since they have a minor exoskeleton (though Anakin shows us that exoskeletons aren't worth a damn against a lightsaber).

Trim as needed! It would be completely unfair if I got all of them.

Well, Lightsabres ignore all armour.

Ok, noted. Thanks!

No problem.

Also, the matter of Xeth's leg being hacked off by the BV50... does that effect his stats/skills in any way?

Gosh, that would be mean; that fight was unwinnable.

So basically no.

Meanwhile, one effect of all this stuff is that Xeth is going to come out as one of the most lethal sabre fighters in the game...
