THIS IS JUST AN IDEA!
So no post-profiles here!

Lego Pirate RPSG(Role Playing Strategy Game)

First, one must make a profile by filling in this form:

Full Name:
Age:
Alliance: Choose between Islander, Spanish Armada, Pirate or Red or Blue Colonists(From red and blue soldiers), when you have the captain pirate rank, you may form your own crew. Each are villians of eachother, but it is possible for your crew to have an alliance with the islanders.
Appearance:
Gender:
HP: You start with 40 on 40
Weapon: You start with stick, wich does 2 damage every turn.
Main Profession: Fighting, Sailing, buidling, etc. This is to let your crew know what you are going to do the most.
House: You have to pick shack, can be upgraded later, if the shack becomes property of the enemy, you lose the schack and get another one or you stay in this one and change alliance. If you are islander, you just fight or help the others!
Bio: If you are islander, you just fight or help the others! No Bio! Just a name, age and gender.

Then you have to join a crew, the first 2 creaws of each alliance get thier own island to build on, the rest has to share islands with all the other alliances ( One Pirate, red, blue and spanish crew). Islanders must choose one of the islands and can help or attack the colonists.
Every Crew gets their own topic, and if they share an island, the island get one too, for making contacts with the others.

The strategy element is, you have to conquer the other islands, you can do this by building a ship and buildings.
In these building, players can buy new weapons and you can upgrade ships.
But to make buildings, you need resources, and those need to be collected by non-player-contolled workers.
You send them, and an admin of the RPG posts the duty report every uh, take friday.

If a character dies, they appear back on thier home island, but if they died in a battle against another crew, they can't help them untill the battle is done.

The resources are Wood, Stone, Gold and Food. Crew Leaders manage these and are the only one who may use these

Players have their own resources: Dubloons and PoE(Pieces of Eight), members start out with 50 PoE and 100 turn into a dubloon.
Players get one dubloon every mont, unless they are inactive.
Players can use these resources to buy biger homes, or buy things in shops (Builded by Crew Operators), PoE spended in shops go to the crew's bank if they have one, otherwise the PoE are lost.

Islanders can buy new weapons in a special topic, with shells.
They can't use PoE, and if they find some, they can better trade it with others for shells.

List:
One Shell -> 5 Poe
One Dubloon -> 100 PoE
One Dubloon -> 20 Shells

I will post more soon

And who would police  this game to make sure every participant abides by the rules?

[Captain Ironhook]

We already have a pirate game that isn't getting new posts, do we really need to start another one because from what I am seeing these such games do not work very well.  I think the last thing we need is to have another game that doesn't last very long.

[tole_11]

To Phes: Me...

But what IronHook said, could be true, people want graphix!
I'm going to work on a offline Lego Pirate RPG (With Graphix)!
That's an idea, if anyone want to sprite something for it, they can PM me.
I'm goin to start right away.
(I'm going to put a link to the pirates forum in it.)

EDIT

Made a basic minifig. Could someone make him some pirate clothes?

This is a basic fig, i'm going to base all my figs on this one.

DO NOT USE THIS FIG! It's my precious!

[Mister Phes]

At the end of last year I was running a so called Pirate text RPG game here and it was quite successful.  However, due to over leanient rules the game got too out of hand and there were dragons and tanks entering the storyline.  I decided that things had gone so far off track that I was going to resign, and not long aftewards so did everyone else.

Not a day later about 4 different new text RPG's sprung up but not one of them succeeded.  A game can survive without graphix and its really sad that many children these days need photorealistic graphics to enjoy their games.  I think what's most important is a good storyline and good game play - the users can invent their own  graphics in their mind. Just like RPGs used to be played about 20 years ago.

I never said or made suggestion of graphix, I merely stated that games of this nature already exists so why do we need a new one?  Don't get me wrong for I would love to play such a game that is stable and running but I am affraid you may not be able to make this happen Tole.  I mean no offense to you but this is just a feeling I am having.

[tole_11]

I love text games, but all the ones i've signed up, have become forgotten.
Only 2 of those 15 survived, and one of them turned into a flash RPG with graphix. But anyways, i'm doing that offline game, it would maube bring some more members if I post it on other sites(With linkbacks to eurobricks.com/pirates ofcourse)

[Mister Phes]

Exactly what are you using to make this game Mr Tole?

[tole_11]

RPG Maker XP, normally, I work with the older editions of RPG Maker, but if I want nice graphix, I use XP.
I'll show a pic of what I made, it's just two chars and some trees:

I'm trying to make some baseplates to use in the game.

To members of EuroBricks, everyone here may be a NPC in the game, but they need to edit their fig out of the base i've given some pots before this. Pirate Masters, like Phes, DreamWeb and Phes, can if they want, let me remake their figs in sprite form.

[Mister Phes]

I've never heard of this RPG Maker XP but the screen shot you've provided does look interesting.  I'll download and it check it out.  I might even find it useful!

[tole_11]

If you want to download the program: I have to warn you, it's hard to find a translated vesion of this program. I have found the last on a site, and the site is almost gone. But it should be easy to find the older versions, because they are more pupular.

If you want to download the game: I'm working on it very hard, but I don't have many thing at the moment.

Phes, I'd like to have you in the game as a playable character in the game.
But you have to tell me what class you are. If I look at your avater, I think you are a Conquistador, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT/ Could someone close this topic, i'm going to make a sepperate topic for the RPG Game.
