Hmmm.... What made you make this forum?

Well, both you and Lee have sent me messages with very good questions in them. I thought that having a topic where questions like that could be asked would be better than privet messaging, because we can get the whole forum’s opinions and comments. Also I thought we may just want a place where we can talk, share ideas, plan plots and relationships for our characters in the game and such.

yay! finally we have an off-topic thread!! XP

Hey, I'm going to be random and copy the Minion....*evil laughter*

Do y'all mind if I pick theme songs for all the characters??

StarGirl5000
LOL Yep! And don’t try to blame your evil laughter on The Minion, Scotty. I’ve know you far longer than I’ve know the Minion and I know it’s your own.

As for theme songs you can suggest all you want, but it’s up to the authors whether or not they want theme songs for their characters or not.

hey, I never said that my evil laughter was caused by the Minion, I just said that I was going to copy her.

Okay, cool! hehehe, I have so many awesome song ideas!

I’m glad you asked, Lee. I give all, (well most,) of the credit to Qlmmb2086. Who has a very similar forum for fantasy RP. I joined his forum last Easter and loved it so much that I decided to start a similar forum for Western RP, based on the same format. If you’re interested in fantasy RP, I highly recommend Q’s Melting Pot Tavern. Here’s the address http://www.fictionpress.com/ft/436194/329/1/

Well, let's see.....here's the ideas I have so far:

Sam-Insurance? by The Higher; In Too Deep by Sum 41

Jim-This Is The Countdown by Mae; Bend And Break by Keane-this is his song for Sam, lol-

Quinn-The Night That Paddy Murphy Died by Great Big Sea; Into Oblivion(Reunion) by Funeral For A Friend

James Richardson-Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas; Behind Blue Eyes by The Who

Val-Beethoven's 5th; The Ship by Runrig; Dust In The Wind by Kansas

Kyle-City of Blinding Lights by U2; Under Your Tree by Sonata Arctica

Jerem-The Gun by Sonata Arctica; Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park

Let me know what y'all think about all that...

I don’t know all the songs and I don’t know all the characters really well yet, so it’s hard for me to say. I think it’s real cool that you were able to find so many so fast though.

Ethan already has a theme song in a way. Although I changed his history some to fit this forum better, so it doesn’t make as much since as it does on the Ethan in my story. It’s On The Border, by Al Stewart. Tell me if you think of one that would be good for Mark or another one for Ethan.

Sweet! I like Jim and Sam's songs! Thanks for these themes!
#12 Sep 08th 2007, 5:43pm
Scottish Princess
YAY! Glad you like the songs, cabloob. Are you familiar with all of them? You're more than welcome, it's really fun.

Oh, SG, I have a couple songs for your characters, too. hhmmm, I'm not familiar with that one that you mentioned for Ethan....anywho....

Here's the songs for the other characters.....

Miss Fortune-I Just Wanna Live by Good Charlotte; Thanks For The Memories by Fall Out Boy

James Dean-Take It Easy by The Eagles

Mark-Pretty Fly For A White Guy by The Offspring; Let's Make This Moment A Crime by The Format

Ethan-Without a Fight by Hoobastank

There, I think that's everybody....lol

#13 Sep 08th 2007, 6:09pm

well, i'm not familiar with them, i just looked them up... so good job! :)
#14 Sep 08th 2007, 6:12pm

oh, looked them up as in listened to the songs online?
#15 Sep 08th 2007, 6:14pm

yup, i had never heard of them but they were cool.

hehe.. sorry if the fighting is disturbing anyone's character... i thought that the peaceful western setting needed a little BAM! so sorry, anyone! :)

No it’s great! That’s what I made the forum for.

Hey, I got this idea. It’s just an idea and it might not be a good one, but what if Rick and his men took over half the town. Say, the saloon Doc. Boyd’s and the hotel. Then we could have a story where Jim and his men are fighting to win back the town, from the baddies.

It just and wild idea I thought it might make a fun story to play, but everyone has to like it and we’d have to do some planning here first. Tell me what you think.

I'm in! :) To bad we don't have John Wayne or Eastwood!
#21 Sep 15th 2007, 6:39pm
StarGirl5000
LOL!

Actually...Ethan is based off of Eastwood a bit...*points to poncho, short cigar and silent observations*

I didn't say that! I'm completely original! I swear it. *crosses fingers and clears throat*

Anyway. Yeah, we might want to develop Rick's men into more than just "Ricks men" Maybe divide them up so we each play one or two of them. That would make it more fun.

Lee's ghost re-born
Hey that’s ok… Quinn is based off the main character in a novel I’m writing. I just changed his name around a little, a lot of his past and how he reacts to people. (Or at least that’s the word on the street) Yeah contorting Rick’s guys would be fun but I’m bad at being bad. Know what I mean? Anyone?
#23 Sep 15th 2007, 7:12pm
cabloob
that would be cool... it would help if rick was more than half alive though... :/ lol. maybe he can have a successor... ill tell people to come over and decide!
#24 Sep 15th 2007, 8:04pm
Lee's ghost re-born
I vote he lives! :( Poor town!
#25 Sep 15th 2007, 8:09pm
Mindwarp
well, I hate to say it but I'm your guy if you need an antagonist. Just ask SG if you don't believe me. My necromancer is totally creaping her out. I'd love to play one of Rick's men, maybe his successor if you want.
#26 Sep 15th 2007, 8:46pm
StarGirl5000
Yeah he’s good at evil creeps and I’d like to practice doing antagonists myself, (I need it).

How about this idea? Rick’s lives but just barely. His men take him to Doc Boyd’s and force the Doc to care for him. While Rick is recovering, two of his gang take over leadership. The two could compete against each other, for top man, yet be working together to take over the town. Since they can’t leave as long as Rick is half dead.

So is it ok if we divide up your “Rick’s men” among us, Cabloob?

And other people please make suggestions or question mine. I don’t want to be the only one coming up with ideas. We need some plot planners.

#27 Sep 15th 2007, 9:31pm
RainingStars170
Don't come to me for plot, SG, you know how lame I am at that. Oh, better introduce myself.

Hey ppls, RS here, SG's sister. Now. I like the idea so far. I'd be interested to see how Sani and Naira could fit in.

#28 Sep 15th 2007, 9:40pm
Lee's ghost re-born
Hey you guys are sisters?... Cool..
#29 Sep 16th 2007, 7:54am

I agree. But I have some editing to do. I might of accidentally killed him.. hehe... :S Well, i agree then. and COOL sisters!
#30 Sep 16th 2007, 9:48am
cabloob
oh and i like the idea of mindwarp being rick's successor. i have a feeling he would make an awesome baddie. So yeah... I guess we should make new characters!
#31 Sep 16th 2007, 9:50am
Mindwarp
*laughs maniacally* yes, I'll get on it. Although I have a feeling whoever I make will try and kill Rick before he recovers.
#32 Sep 16th 2007, 11:05am
cabloob
hehe.. you are crazy, my friend. :) Well, I made my guy. and i killed off Sam to make it more realistic... :(
#33 Sep 16th 2007, 12:39pm
Scottish Princess
Hey guys! Y'all certainly like the action don't ya? LOL!

Well, in answer to all the random questions going around, I say the idea of taking over half the town sounds great. I'll just let y'all know now that Doc Boyd won't cotton to being forced to work on the bad guys. He's a headstrong Highland Scot. XD

#34 Sep 16th 2007, 12:45pm
cabloob
We'll see about that :)
#35 Sep 16th 2007, 12:49pm
RainingStars170
Ahem. If ya'll want Rick's men to take over the town, then I think reinforcements are needed. According to what I've seen in the street, there are a lot more gun-slinging good guys out there than bad guys.

Jerem's not going to get into anything. Kyle will, but Val will stay out if he can.

(Hey Scottish Princess, I thought of a theme song for Doc Boyd. Have you heard “A man’s for A’ that” by the immortal Robert Burns, if you want to hear a full track I know Old Blind Dogs does a really cool version)
#41 Sep 18th 2007, 6:08pm
Scottish Princess
I know of the song, but I've never heard it. But, if it's by Robert Burns, then by all means I think it would fit for Alick! ^_^ I'll have to find the song on YouTube or something and listen to it.

Hey cabloob! You need to post in the Doctor's House!
#43 Sep 19th 2007, 7:39pm

Wow, am I the only person posting in here?? lol, anyways....I thought I'd go ahead and post the info on Electra, Derek and Ivy and all of Jerem's family just for clarity's sake.

Lee's ghost re-born
Wow, I feel really cheap asking you all this but… could any of you read or review any of my stories? You guys are all really great writers and I think I could learn a lot from your thoughts. Thanks everyone! :)
#45 Sep 22nd 2007, 7:14pm

But of course I will! I'd LOVE to! But only if you'll return the favour! XD
#46 Sep 23rd 2007, 10:27pm
Scottish Princess
heh, I just thought of two other songs for Kyle...

Where Will You Go?

and

My Immortal

both by Evanescence

They both just fit him right now...

We need to get the baddies organized. How many are there? Where are they and how much control do they have?

Cabloob, how many men did Rick have to start with? I’d sat that at least 10-12 of them will have died or been injured so far, so how many are left?

Right now they hold at least the street, the stables, the Doc’s house and the sheriff’s office.

The Saloon, the hotel and Jerem’s Smithy is not under their control.

#48 Sep 25th 2007, 9:27pm
Scottish Princess
I have a bad guy that I can enter if you need him. Oh, and in case y'all didn't notice, I added the General Store. James' Shop isn't under the baddies' control, either.
#49 Sep 25th 2007, 11:13pm
cabloob
well, I was thinking that there were like 20 of them when I made The Unwanted. We can have like two or something unnamed and under the control of the baddies we made. So we can move them ourselves and we don't have to make all of them.
