Sure, there were threads like Kitten's Roleplaying thread, but then the threads were stopped or locked off topic is now mostly a realm where you go to visit random off topic for your daily lulz and that's it.
But I aspire to make a new forum game, one that will keep bored people not so bored for a certain amount of time after which I'll run away and lock the thread...
Survivors of Sonosres
The game will be a mixture between text based, RPG and survival elements mashed up in a suitable way. The game is set in Sonosres, a steampunk city where people refused to accept electricity and instead still use combustion as their main way to produce energy (Think about a common 18th Century city.)
Sonosres was however recently ravaged by a mysterious plague coming from birds, because of this plague, the High Queen ordered an immediate quarantine of certain districts. Scientists attempted to find a cure, but what they managed to make in 5 years of time was only a serum that slowed down the stages of infection, despite its enormous cost.
Because of the plague spreading faster than one could imagine, the High Queen ordered the DWR, the Duty Watchers of the Regime, to arrest any infected civilians and deport them to Mist Lake where they would be declared officially "In quarantine" while they were actually executed and burnt to prevent the spreading of the plague.
The players in the game will be basically a group of survivors that managed to escape from the clutches of the DWR and are now hiding in an abandoned shack near Mist Lake. Can the survivors find the resources necessary to escape Mist Lake and warn other civilians about the High Queen's monstrous decision? Or will they succumb to paranoia, fear and plague? It's up to them....
And it's up to YOU
Gameplay
Gameplay in Survivors of Sonosres is very simple, survivors (Players) must do whatever they can to find a way to escape Mist Lake without alerting the DWR or dying. The choice is given to the players of course and they are free to do anything they want
However there is a catch: Everyone can choose to do what they want, but sometimes not everyone can agree. Players are suggested to work together or die divided since life in Sonosres won't be exactly easy, I can't also tell you what you should do first so it's up to who thinks what should be done first.
Also I decided to add an interesting mechanic to this game: a betrayal system.
That's right you can betray your friends! You can steal their money, kill them whatever bad thing you feel like doing.
BUT to do so you must send me a PM telling me that you want to betray this person, then if the betrayal was successful or not (Depending on the conditions of the betrayer and the victim) I shall send a PM to the victim and to the betrayer telling them about the result.
However you should not abuse the betrayal system, if the person you attempted to betray is alive, he might alert anyone nearby, for example, A tries to betray B by killing him, B dodges the blow and shouts, everyone inside the house in which A and B are will be alerted, if they are out somewhere else, only A and B will know about the betrayal.
Also if there is another player while A attacks B, that player will shout too and alert everyone else, so summed up, one should be careful while betraying someone.
Also under no circumstances are the victims to reveal who betrayed them, I will reveal the betrayer's identity to the victim in order to satiate their curiosity, but if they ever reveal what happened, then the game will restart, sorry guys.
There is also a false betrayal action in which a player can act as if he was betrayed by another player, this is an effective strategy to make all players turn against one player, but it's also risky since you'll have to work out a problem with communication, are you sure the players will trust you or the other one?
Combat is simple, just accurately describe what you wanna do to initiate and continue combat, just remember that all players start with no weapons and must find them or craft them.
