Project Collision discussion

[KßзŁŁ]

I couldn't find anything discussing Project Collision, so I decided to make this thread to bring up some issues I have been thinking about.

* Who is going to mod Project Collision? It can't be any of the Project Mods, or anyone competing, so who can be trusted enough to keep to a schedule and mod fairly?

* Will player modded characters be worth points if killed by other player modded characters? (I always saw the controllers as showing red dots for enemy and ally alike, but that would be a mechanic decided by the mod of Project Collision)

[Defectron]

Well I think most of that should be left up to the mod, I for one think it would be best to have someone not competing mod it. That other stuff about points should probably be decided by the mod. also we should try to decide what aliens were going to use since I recall the four mods are all contributing an alien to this.

Why not Tjad? I remember him saying how he wanted to mod something and since he doesn't have a project yet and has modding experience I'd certainly recommend him.

This is answered in the original outline. Here it is.

Heres an outline how it'd work:


Two of the best gantzers, according to the project mod, will participate in a competition mission. These gantzers must be active roleplayers (not npcs) and they will represent that mod's project(north, west, south and east). When chosen, they will either agree or disagree to represent their project's name and put their name in the hat to compete. With this agreement being made, they will put their character's lives on the line to face 2 other gantzers from other projects all at once.

However, this is no ordinary competition and it will effect the rest of the project's and story arcs as we know it. The competitors chosen will be suceptable to death and can only be wished back by their respective projects or by the competitors after the competition.

Though, other than death, they will be facing each other in a mission that will be modded by an unbiast mod whom isn't already a Mod of a Project. This unbiast mod will recieve 4 alien types (1 from each project mod) and will use those to mod the mission. They will then make a boss alien of their own to summarize the mission after the randomly ordered waves of aliens.

This prestigious competition will give pride to the project moderators and make the competitors legends of their own respective gantz rooms. Winners will be allowed to take back their memories, a trophy and all points gained. Survivors (losers) will have their memories erased and will be sent home empty handed, but still their lives will be spared. All dead gantzers will remain dead gantzers until they are revived with the pts from the competition or by gantzer's of their respective rooms.

Good luck all Project Mods, cause you sure as hell, have no chance in hell of beating Project Eastern. ^^;


FAQ's


Q: When is the set date for this to take place?
A: Expect this to take place once a year around the month of october and november to comemorate the festive mood.

Q: Can I use an NPC Gantzer to represent my project?
A: No, gantzers most be controlled by ACTIVE roleplayers.

Q: What if two of my characters were chosen, can I use both?
A: No, you must decide which project you choose to represent. Then that project will be the one you compete for.

Q: If I'm a Project Mod, can I compete for another project?
A: Yes, however, you must compete unbiastly and try not to jepardize your team in ways that are out of character. Try to show a little maturity would ya!

Q: Ok, I'm the unbiast mod, can I compete and mod the competition at the same time?
A: FUCK NO, FUCK YOU! NO NPCS!

Q: Can players kill each other?
A: Yes! Hell you can even kill yourself and your teamate. Co-operation isn't forced and this can result to constant pvp which will bring on the usage of pms to the Competition mods. Ex: PM the mod your next move so that the player your fighting against doesn't know your true intentions.

Q: So why are we fighting aliens then?
A: You can't call it gantz without aliens! The team with the most points overall will be the winners of the competition!

Q: Do player kills give points?
A: No, points are not given or deducted from pvp and player killing. The only reward is death and the satisfaction of someone's blood on your hands.

Q: What is done with the trophy after it is won?
A: That gantzer's team is allowed to take the trophy with their name and project's name. The trophy will then be displayed in their gantz room for the mod to mention whenever they feel up to rubbing it in any of the other project's faces. They will also be announced in an anouncement thread as the gantz team of whichever year and their top gantzer will have their name and pts on the news fader.

As for aliens I figure we could pull some from the create an alien board. What do you guys think? I don't want this to hinder the mods so I guess thats a better choice then having them make aliens. It'll also put those unused aliens to use.

[The Merc]

I'd have to question if it's either me or DM who gets to pick Wests competitors since he's in control til the end of the current mission. Furthermore, which of us two also gets to pick Wests Alien?

[Benry]

Logically it should be you because even if Demonicmuse is in charge for this mission, he won't be when project Collision is happening so i think you should choose.

[jjrev609]

well Demonicmuse did pick who he wanted and balance really didn't have any objections to his choices. the only thing he did was switch out GmR for Xion at Ronnie's request so I don't see why Balance would have to pick who would rep western

[KßзŁŁ]

I think western's candidates have no need of being mucked about with. They're logical choices.

Dane does need to pick Northern's candidates still, though, before we can think about who will be mod.

[jjrev609]

the only person Dane can really pick is DemonicMuse and then make a random pick between Nishi and Luke cuz me, def, ronnie, and benry are reppin other projects already. So Dane i gave you one sugesstion, you just gotta pick the other

[Dane]

Yeah, I actually decided when I was at school today. (I actually hadn't realized that DM wasn't already in.)
So my reps will (Hopefully) be Lance and Roland. The reason I'm picking both are as follows. Lance is an experienced player so that's pretty good. And Roland (To me at least) is a hero and I gotta love the hero.
So yeah, the undecided has decided. Woo.

[Defectron]

For my alien pick I think I'll go with the harem aliens, though I would like to send more details about them to the mod doing this. I always wanted to do a mission witht he harem aliens, but it looks like that wouldn't be able to happen within southerns current storyarc since that'd just be drawing things out unnesecerly.

i'm a choosen candidate? where?

[jjrev609]

Did u forget about sendo already lol?

edit: o yea ur not a staff member anymore, my fault

[Shad²]

I'll mod it... I haven't gone very deep in to the Collision shit but I'll do that this week and will go through all the material and will set up the rules and (a) definite date(s).

[jjrev609]

u think we could get it started by next week maybe?

[Shad²]

No, that would cause continuity problems in the Projects. The first week that we could start with the least continuity problems is week 10 I believe

[KßзŁŁ]

it might be better if we push collision back until we get the perks and stuff figured out enough to spread them at least to the characters we are bringing into the game, but if we work quickly enough, we still could make it on time. it'll require a lot of attention from all our members, but if we can include perks into collision, I think it will make it much more fun.

What do you guys think? Should we could take care of that before collision starts? Ronnie is still is going to need a lot of time to get this revamped with me, so I suggest Ronnie take the week off of Eastern to focus on this with an explanation in OOC

NO! I kept Eastern delayed enough as it is. I will be using the new Mechanics in Eastern and when we have the perks and flaws ready, then we'll use them.

[Defectron]

By way I might need to replace Sendo here because he might die since he got himself into a bit of trouble in the last update.

Thus, is when....KANBE APPEARED!

[jjrev609]

u actually think he'll pick kanbe over zerojii when he called kanbe zerojii in his post for southern? I think not.

Dammit J, the joke overshadows all realism...

[KßзŁŁ]

that happened one time like 6 months ago, lol

I didn't do it again did I?

[Defectron]

I recall it happening about 2-3 weeks ago as opposed to 6 months. But yeah I guess I'm going to have to pick someone besides sendo since it looks like he's dying in the update which will be up in a moment. Maybe I'll go with snake since I can't use Ryou since he's modding and can't use Tori since one of ronnies characters is already in this.

[KßзŁŁ]

I'm pretty sure it happened during Kanbe's first mission, but I don't feel like going to look it up.

[Defectron]

no it happened during the current mission

[Shad²]

awww man, I regret volunteering to mod this shit lol:P I want Ryou to have bragging rights. anyways, week 17 is closing in so I'll start making preparations soon.

[KßзŁŁ]

wicked; i might be able to get some play time on Zerojii without ronnie being around after all

[Dane]

So, is collision happening?

[KßзŁŁ]

Not for a while, at least.. Tjad was the mod for it, so first off, we need an impartial mod that isn't already devoted to working on something. The mod can't be the owner of any characters going into collision or a mod of any main projects, so we might have to push this back quite a bit, unfortunately.

[®onnie ®ude]

Whenever your ready, give me a pm and I'll gladly serve as your unbiased mod. This was my idea, so rather then not attempt it, I'll be the benchmark for other future mods who may want a template or resource for how to mod it. I'll just need the alien templates, templates of the participants and information on what project they belong to.
