Daichan Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Hey, now I know there are some of you out that agrees with me on at least one of these things I'm thinking here. 1. People joining a server and doing nothing but killing other players gets really old after a while. 2. Sometimes, it would be so nice if people would just leave you alone and not kill you when all you wanted to do was to just cruise around or just hangout. 3. When there are groups of people doing battles, do they even have any strategies at all? 4. It would be pretty cool if there were someone in the city who would acts as a leader. WELL.. What if we had a server where we actually use the city as an actual city rather than just a battle ground? What if each person in the city actually played a certain role? Yup, Role Playing. I really want to give this idea a shot, cuz as long as people are willing to, this can be fun and interesting. Here are some detailed information. Occupation and their home President - Vercetti Estate Vice-President - Vercetti Estate Secretary of the City - Vercetti Estate Navy - Ship Police - Any police stations. Wherever they are assigned by the highest ranking officers. Body guards for the president and vice-president - Vercetti Estate Driver for President and vice-president - Vercetti Estate Club owner - Malibu Strip Club owner - Pole Position Film Director - InterGlobal Film Studio Airlines - Airport (Each airline will have their own helicoptor) Parking guy - where ever parking guy is needed for the valet Ice Cream person - Cherry Popper (yes that person has the right to drive the ice cream truck) Boxers/Kick Boxers - any unoccupied home, but will fight if a fight is hosted somewhere. Rock stars - any unoccupied home (can hold concert in any location as long as permitted by the president) Civilians - any unoccupied home Bikers - any unoccupied home Biker gang - wherever they are able to use as their property Bike Dealer/Mechanic - Greasy Chopper/Bike Emporium Car Dealer/Mechanic - Sun Shine Auto Taxi Driver - Kauffman Bad Guys - any unoccupied home So pretty much anyone who doesn't live in a vercetti estate will live in any unoccupied house, but when they need to do their "work" they'd have to be at their work place. Anytime a person wants to sponsor an event, they must go see the president and vice-president for a permission to use a certain location. President also makes the law, but he/she must discuss it with the vice-president. Vice-president becomes the President if the president gets assasinated. VP also can take over for the president during the time president is not available. If both president and VP are not available, Secretary will be in the charge of the city. If all 3 are not available at the time, police and body guards has to keep the city calm. If no authority are available, then city's pretty much screwed. lol. As for an election, each term lasts for one week. After the term is over, anyone can run for the election. Prez can be re-elected as much as people let's them, cuz after all, it is everyone's city. People can run for either President, Vice President, or Secretary of the City. It's their job to keep people happy so they can vote on them. IF in a case where no one wants to run for an election, Vice President will be the president, Secretary will be the Vice President. Body guards and police must wear their police uniform. Body guards will have higher status then the police (kinda like FBI). Body guards needs to do whatever necessary to protect the prez, VP and the secretary, but especially the President. To decide who becomes the body guards, 3 members of the House will hand pick who they think is best to protect them. Police needs to make sure the city is moving smooth and safe. Patrolling is necessary. anytime they catch a suspect, the suspect must get in the back seat and be taken to the jail. If the suspect refuses to surrender, police can kill them as many times as they want until the badguy actually surrenders. Therefore that person will be on the wanted list until they are put into a jail. If anyone are hurt, killed, or have their vehicles stolen, they can call the police by typing in 911 in the chat. Police must respond ASAP and help the victim(s). When the badguys wants to surrender, all they have to do is to type in SURRENDER in the chat window. President will decide how long the badguy stays in the jail, but it must be fair length. (Max amount in the jail will be 1 week) Dealer/Mechanic's job is to bring the vehicle to people who ask for them. However people can not purposely ask for vehicle and destroy them, and reorder them right away. If people needs a transportation, but don't want to own their own, they can use the taxi service. As for the airport, no airline will go to your house and pick you up. You will have to find your way to get there. Jail time - Stealing a vehicle - 2 hours in jail causing an accident - 3 hours in jail Killing a person - 3 days in jail Killing a person in The House - 1 week in jail Each day being on wanted list - 1 day added for each days on the original jail time for crime commited If there are anyone out there that are interested in this idea, let me know, and I will put up some general rules to see if you are still interested. BTW, the server Vice Society will be password protected so we won't have to worry about some people coming in and ruining everything for us. Link to comment
etalien Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 He has it all thought out.. Link to comment
happyrock Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Hey this could work ... I have heard of role playing before but I donno about it on a computer game. Anyways for this to really work you would need a website with a set of forms (for info and a something to keep out the over all public) and just some decated actived memebers. Link to comment
RR`Karnage Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Well, me and 4 or 5 other people usually play at our own roleplaying server. It isn't ALWAYS roleplay, sometimes we stunt, or do plots. The IP is 12.254.254.253:2003 Come to #[RP] on irc.gamesnet.net if you have mIRC and join us sometime! p.s. Beware, our roleplay isnt that complicated. It's basically choose a role and play it out. Link to comment
nick126 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 GREAT IDEA.... Swat, could be a team that goes and kills ppl that are breaking the law (drug busts... swat things) ... I would love to see this idea go through... congrats... Also, for money, cops get money for busting ppl... Each choosen profession gets money for their role... Link to comment
l2ebel Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 (edited) woah...this idea needs definatly some time man...seems like u got it. 1.sure 2.DO STUNTS 3.nah DM ppl r like animals:yellow blip:destroy! blue blip:hm...danger from roof/or a bird to shoot.gta players mostly dont like ANY strategies look at mta-vc-0.2 i've already 4got that its actually team-DM ... 4.needs 1000 hp's 2 b a cop will b the new way of cheating k,im gonna watch them corrupt cops. rebel 4 life do u remember what the film studio was recording in SP? u 4got stuntmen! i think 95% of all players wanna play the bad guys (90% noobs) so u gotta choose the BEST of em. what r the navys doing? fishing? deliver new types of guns lol the best assassination role is the secretary ahm...place 500 tanks around the vercetti estate and the prison daichan wrote: Killing a person in The House - 1 week in jail u got some work basically i like ur idea wanna test it once,and its true u really tought it out hope u've already got a modding team. ps:u got the best answering system (needs less space than quoting)like: u write: 1:which feature would u like most in furter mta releases? ppl can answer like: 1:crc check as a server option. if possible everybody should use this answering style.

b0b0 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I guess that means if I played someone who worked at the office building I would get to put cover sheets on TPS reports all day :shock: Link to comment
me Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Problem: There are 22 "classes" listed. Assuming a server became completely full (32 players), there would only be enough for 2 people in half the classes, one in the rest. Link to comment
Daichan Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 I'm really glad some of you would like to give this a shot. And it's true that I did think this out alot. I just got sick and tired of everyone in the server coming after me, when all i wanted to do was to cruise around with a bike. Anytime I asked people not to kill me, most of them came up with a reply like "well this is GTA you know..." or "No, that is the point of us being in here. To kill each other" Like I understand this is GTA, and I may be the odd one for saying this, but I just disagree with a fact that you always have to kill each other when you have a game that allows you to do many things aside from killing like drive cars, ride bikes, collect vehicles, collect houses, work for money, and etc. I just think that when you have something, you should take full advantage of everything it offers you (especially after paying 40 to 50 bucks on a game). BTW, some of the occupations I have listed are just some examples. And just cuz there are 32 occupations listed here, it doesn't necessary mean that it's not enough for other people to play. I seriously doubt that all the players are actually going to sit in front of their pc all day every day to play this game. At same time in order for this to work, we would need some dedicated players, which also means that they'll stick with their job, and not constantly switching it just cuz they don't like it. So one day there could be 10 cops, and the next day there could be 5 cops. get my drift? For the Navy people, I was thinking that they'll play the role of military almost like a swat. considering the v 0.2 doesn't offer any other military characters. during the time navys are not needed, they can always be trained by their leader. I think I'm gonna build a page with a detailed info and rules for this server. It may take few days, but I'll make sure I don't leave anything out. And yes I really really do have this thing thought out to a point where as long as people are willing to do this, this will work. If you are really up for this idea, PM me and i'll give you the password to get in here. PS - if in any case where some asshole decides to pretend that they are interested, and ruin everything when they come in, I'm going to change the password, even if i have to do it everyday.

Daichan Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Ok I just made a simple webpage with detailed info. If you think I've missed something let me know. http://home.earthlink.net/~daichan29/vsr.html Link to comment
Ransom Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 sounds good, but I don't think the game will be stable because of people not listening and doing what they are supposed to. Link to comment
Daichan Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 I know that very few people will be interested in doing this. That's why I'm making this into a password protected server so the only select few will be able to join. Link to comment
Cerbera Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I know that very few people will be interested in doing this. That's why I'm making this into a password protected server so the only select few will be able to join. There's thousands of people using MTA, so finding 20 or 30 who would participate shouldn't be too hard. I'd suggest making your server public, but make sure it includes "role-playing" in the title and make the MOTD.txt explain what the server is about. That would help raise awareness about it faster.

ALSO not all professions need to be played.... Link to comment
b0b0 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Mind if I add a few more? Bartender Restaurant Waiter Pizza Boy Vice City Helicopter Tours Link to comment
Daichan Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 those occupations sounds good. Here's what we should do. Anytime when someone comes up with new occupation, let me know and I'll add them to the list. Link to comment
Ben Lagg Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 You made it so that it would make a good MMORPG, but Vice City's Vice President -mod has too many classes (of course they all do not need to be used.) Hey RR`Karnage, mail me to [email protected] for RP-sessions. I like RP:ing, and won't surely mess the game up Link to comment
Guest Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 can u make a mod f0r it so we can download it ??? Link to comment
dystopia Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Well great idea, I'd lvoe some variation myself. Now i'm not a coder by anymeans, but i know the principles. Something like this, the underlying problem is exactly how everyone is graded payed by the application itself. Plus, this would add so much more bandwidth issues. Instead of guns, possition, direction, shooing, driving etc currently, you'd add money, position, what they should be doing, what they are doing, why it is right or wrong. Perhaps it'd work on lan, but i dunno about online...be a whole mess load of work if you're talking about an actual mod Link to comment
