Mara 29 Posted May 27, 2008 Anyone have any ideas? I'm drawing a blank. Except for something with gladiators. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Actually, we could be... you know... cleaning out Germania and revenging Varius? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted May 28, 2008 Maybe... But I'm not sure which time period I want to go with. I don't want one of the "famous" caesars like Julius or Augustus...Give us a little more freedom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted June 20, 2008 I'm speaking of the one of the seven wonders of the world No. You're not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted June 20, 2008 Then what am I speaking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenman 9 Posted June 21, 2008 The Coliseum isn't one of the Wonders of the World. Unless you go by the new improved modern version. Which sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted June 23, 2008 *shrug* I'm going by the list of the seven I learned in sixth grade, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, I must find that at least 15-year-old video our teacher showed us and destroy it! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) There are loads of versions of the 7 wonders. The Colosseum in question was in the 7 wonders of the Medieval world, I think. Edited June 23, 2008 by beeurd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted June 23, 2008 Aye. THe Colosseum was one of the seven wonders of the medieval world. However, if you simply refer to the 'seven wonders of the world' it's assumed you mean the Ancient world. Therefore, they were both correct. And wrong. At the same time. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted June 24, 2008 :roll: Anyway.. I need to figure out how to structure this thing. Anyone got any other ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted June 24, 2008 We could do it in a "Rome" style...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenman 9 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) I don't know, but don't type "Rome Style" in Google image search. I'm not sure if I'd participate, but I think the best idea would be to kind of find a middleground between Greek and Roman. I mean, you could have the gods and epics of Greece with the politics (backstabbing and corruption, the fun kind of politics) with Rome. The two civilizations were very similar in the first place. (In the very general sense) Edited June 25, 2008 by Chickenman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah... but I'd like to pick one, just for historicalness and the like. Like, we could do politics in Rome, and use the Roman gods. Yeah, probably not as popular as Greek couterparts, but they were still there. Until the Caesar made himself god. I was thinking maybe something with gladiators... Or something epic, similar to Illiad/Odyssey where the gods might be major players... Some forum (other kind) fun with senators and stuff... Focusing on a caesar and his palace (not a pun) and attendants and stuff.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenman 9 Posted June 25, 2008 The Roman Gods suuuuuuuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Just from reading the ideas in here, I got one of my own. Disregard it if you wish but it seems that a historical RP would entail a lot of knowledge on the subject. I'm no expert on that era which is part of the reason why I'm still undecided on joining. Also, I would imagine that, if someone were to slip up with some bit of information, they would get yelled at by some of you more zealous Romans. The idea I had came from a game I played a while back called Gladius by LucasArts. It wasn't a very special game in way of play...however the story and setting were incredibly in-depth. It was set in a land very similar to ancient Greece/Rome. There were 4 countries that you could travel to, fighting in various gladiator arenas to gain skills/powers and build your team and whatnot. The two major forces are Imperia and Nordagh based around Greco-Roman and Nordic culture/mythology respectively. The other two are based on Asian and Egyptian culture. My idea was to do something like that instead (not exactly Gladius, of course but something similar). Move away from the strictly historical idea and make up a fantasy world based on the same culture/mythos. Perhaps have the characters be involved in a traveling gladiator school? Just an idea. I don't care if you discard it. :p Edited June 25, 2008 by Drake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted June 25, 2008 The Roman Gods suuuuuuuck. They're almost exactly the same as the Greek ones. Just with different names. Just from reading the ideas in here, I got one of my own.

I don't care if you discard it. Well, I wasn't planning on being wholly and totally adhered to historical accuracy. Just due to the fact that I am rather more lax on my knowledge than I used to be. Wasn't trying to scare people off. I only mean it to be historical in the sense of the culture and the era the RPG will take place in. And depending on which plot it takes on, would determine on how much we would rely on historical characters. I.e. a Caesar-related one would deal more with history than, say, an adventurey/Odyssey one would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
