Right, as I have penchant for biting off far more than I can ever chew, I've come up with this idea for an RP, inspired by the Forum RP thread. And here's the idea; The forum of TESFU is a peaceful place, a place in the internet where writers and gamers gather to share their works, exchange ideas and socialise. But things are about to change. FPpaAhaHPIasd, the daedric prince of Spam has turned his many covetous eyes upon the forum, and has decided that the time is right for conquest. Gathering his horde of spammers, trolls and even his dreaded spam bots, FPpaAhaHPIasd prepares to unleash a wave of evil upon the forum, turning it into yet another den of inanity in the vast expanse of the internet. Only the brave forumites stand against this horde of evil. But even with all their courage and bravery, it may not be enough. Even the strongest of them may not survive. Right, that's the premise. Now for da rules: 1. Standard RP rules, no godmoding, character controlling etc. 2. No constant insulting of another player's character, as that character is basically them it could be interpreted as insulting them. Banter is fine, but anything too far will invite the wrath of the moderators. 3. Uh, that's it, I guess... |

Would this be set in a fantasy forum world, or would it be people actually going on online forums? Sounds like fun, I might actually join (lolwut? Milk RPing? It's a sign of the apocolypse!!) |

I would be interested as well, and was once thinking of a forum RP as well. Sounds fun, Bean.

So, it's good to see people are interested. Allow me elaborate. The RP will be set in the fantasy forum of TESFU, and would not be us RPing around the threads of the forum (which would probably get annoying for people not in the RP). We will RP as ourselves, for example I would be an accident prone writer with Spiky Armour and my Blazing Sledgehammer of Inspiration, and possibly a gun taken from Warhammer 40000. I'll get up a character sheet and a sample bio (ie, mine) later on today. |

Excellent... Oh, and I've got the character sheet layout up, as well as a sample bio. Right, here's the character sheet to use. Name: Appearance: (this is height and so forth) Personality: Equipment: Bio: Alignment: (Either good, neutral or evil-evil types would simply fight the spammers to stop themselves being destroyed, and would most likely turn any situation to suit their own ends) And here's mine, to give everyone a rough idea. Name: Bean Appearance: Tall and and green, and oddly legume like. Personality: Loud, cheerful and ready to chat with just about anybody. Equipment: Blazing Sledgehammer of Inspiration and Spiky Armour of Evil, P90 submachine gun and lots of ammo for it. Bio: Hailing from the far off and exotic forum Blpublishing, Bean is a man who has traveled much on the internet, covering many megabytes in his long journeys. It is said that he has braved the deepest, darkest pits of the Youtube Caverns, that he helped hold the wall of Fort Kaspersky against the attack of the great Millenium Bug, that he has traversed the Fields of Google, braving packs of trolls and lolcats simply to find an old webpage of his. Bean has returned from his travels a hardened and wizened man, but he is still ready to be cheerful and jovial should the situation demand it. He wishes to simply retire from his travels, to run his bookshop and live a normal, peaceful life. But now, with hordes of spammers and their evil brethren threatening to overrun the forum, Bean must once again take up his weapons and hold the line. Alignment: Good |

... Huh.

Name: Gilboron Appearance: Tall and pale. With his forumer personality, he has light brown hair, and is rather thin yet intelligent, whereas if his character personality takes over, his hair grows darker and he grows more muscular, though less intelligent. Personality: His personality occasionally switches between the forumer personality, based on my personality, and the character personality, based on the character Gîlboron. These changes are induced by fits of rage or hard hits to the head. Equipment: A thick, black robe, underneath which he wears jeans and a green sweater. His weapons are his voice, which can, in moments of rage, scare away enemies, and his pocket knife, which he keeps stored in a pocket of his robe. His robot companion, GIMP, can, if needed, construct simple tools from found junk. He also carries around a camera. Bio: A young man that, despite his age, has travelled a large part of the internet on his vessel, the BENEDEN, Gilboron lives in a mansion in the Blogipelago, on the island of Webs. He prefers to stay on the southern side of the world, though he has visited the Icy North at some times in his past. His ship has sailed him across many waters: the Gulf of Youtube, the Sea of Memes, once even getting caught in the vicious maelstrom at the centre of the Bay of Angst. His multiple personality was caused by an accident in the Sea of Culture, where the vicious sea monster Sue attacked his ship. Alignment: Forumer personality – Good, Character personality – Evil I'm using this map as a reference. Edited by Gilboron, Mar 14 2009, 02:12 PM.

I'm going to cautiously join this. First RP, so bear with me... Name: Milk White Appearance: Really short, around 160 cm, pale, and a bit chubby, with an unkempt beard and scraggly hair Personality: He'll do what he thinks is right, regardless of what others think. Being the first person in three generations of Whites to be under 2 meters, he's a little touchy about his height. Equipment: Sword of Doctor KT, a double sided sword which is enchanted to allow him to contact his doctor directly, and Armor of Kuzu, which emits a foul odor. (kuzu is trash in Japanese. My favorite penspinner is kUzu) Bio: Not one for travel, Milk White had stayed in TESFU all his life, until he decided to travel to the far off city of UPSB, which he heard is the center of the gracious art of penspinning. It is there that he began practicing penspinning, and has been frequently going between the peace and quite of TESFU and the hustle and bustle of UPSB ever since. He has seen almost nothing of the world, and doesn't care to, for he is afraid of what might befall him in the world wide web. The only reason he goes to such a place as UPSB is because Zombo, the fearsome Moderator of DOOM, banishes any trolls or spammers that should wander in. Alignment: Neutral |

Right, here's a (partially completed) list of some of the enemies we may face, described in detail. I'll try and get some more entries up on creatures such as the spambot, the pro and even the dreaded lolcats. The Flora Fauna of the Internet, by Sir Chengine of the Order of Yahoo Introduction Upon my many travels around the Internet, I have learnt many things about the many varied creatures that live in this world. From the blogger to the networker, from the ranter to the noob, these creatures inhabit a world only just beginning to be understood by man. Many of these of these creatures are dangerous, however, so as well as providing useful information for anybody wishing to learn about these amazing animals, I aim to also provide a survival guide essential for any wishing to brave the vast expanses of the Internet. Even if you do not wish to travel across the Internet as I have, I hope you will find this book useful and informative. Chapter 2-the Dangerous Fauna of the Internet While the first chapter covered the benign beings of the internet, such as the moderator or the blogger, this chapter will look at the more dangerous beings of the internet. The Noob The Noob is the bottom of the Internet food chain, a base creature that is preyed upon by almost every predator. They are believed to be a subspecies of the Gamer, but this link has yet to be confirmed and speculations to other relations have extended to Spammers and even Trolls. Noobs are scavengers and pests, feeding on the kills of other predators and any scraps of food they could pick up. They are harmless, even in large numbers, but they can be pests to a traveller. I have been woken more than once to find a noob rummaging around in my knapsack, but they can be easily confounded by a few tight buttons. Noobs are vaguely humanoid, diminutive creatures that possess infantile frame, with weak limbs and large eyes used to watch for danger. Noob meat is incredibly nutritious, but has little flavour unless prepared well. Noobs inhabit almost every environ in the Internet, but most they most often are found of the Gaming Isles. The Spammer Spammers are only just above Noobs in the Internet food chains. They are creatures of pure stupidity, who simply overwhelm their prey and yell at it while they claw at it. While virtually harmless on their own (a strong punch is enough to seriously injure of even kill a spammer), they hunt in packs numbering in the dozens and can overwhelm their prey through sheer weight of numbers. Spammers resemble emaciated humans, with overly large jaw lines. They also have a basic grasp of language, but this is usually garbled and nonsensical. Spammers are most commonly found on the Social Networking Nations, but they will be attracted to any areas where people congregate, especially near forum towns, where they will usually feed on any waste left by the people living there. The Troll Trolls are one of the Internet's more dangerous creatures, aggressive and immensely strong predators that, fortunately, hunt alone. Indeed, trolls are highly territorial, and it is possible to escape one simply by fleeing into the territory of another troll. Despite their dangerous nature, trolls are slow and dimwitted and with a little care they can easily be avoided or outwitted. A troll's highly territorial nature can also be used against it. As mentioned, it is possible to escape a troll simply by leaving its territory, but trolls will also stop whatever they are doing if they see another troll, and will immediately begin to attack the other. The sight of two trolls fighting is an awe inspiring one, two creatures fighting in a trial of brute strength that will shake the ground for miles around. Trolls are easily identifiable. A fully grown troll is usually about ten foot tall and covered in shaggy brown fur. Their arms are longer than their legs, giving them a distinctly gorilla like appearance, and as such they move around through knuckling. While this form of locomotion is slow, the troll's prey of networkers are usually easily panicked and may find themselves not unable to escape. Trolls usually inhabit the Social Networking Nations where their prey congregates, but recently they have been reported to gather near to forum towns, where they can become a menace to smaller settlements. The Camper Campers are one of the most dangerous creatures to inhabit the Internet. A camper can strike from anywhere at any time, it's natural camouflage and their highly toxic darts meaning it can kill an unwary traveler before they even know what is happening. Campers are believed to be a predatory subspecies of the omnivorous gamer, as their most common habitat is the Gaming Isles. However, there are bogeyman stories throughout the Internet of creatures that strike from nowhere, meaning that campers may live across the globe. However, with creatures as elusive as these it is almost impossible to track their movements-the sight of a camper on the move is an incredibly rare one. It is thought that campers may be sentient, or at the very least able to communicate, though no attempts have been made to test this theory due to their highly dangerous nature. Campers are, like the troll, covered in shaggy fur, though the colouration varies due to the regions they inhabit-campers that live in dry and scrubby grassland are usually reported to have a dusty brown fur, while those that live in forested areas have greenish-brown fur. However, it is believed that some campers have already adapted to camouflage themselves colours that fit into urban environments. If this is the case, then campers could become an even greater danger than ever before. |

Right, the final part of the Flora and Fauna of the Internet. After that, we may just have to start the RP. The Pro Pros, like campers, are another predatory subspecies of the gamer, aggressive and dangerous creatures that hunt in packs. Pros are fast, strong, cunning and stealthy, and are able to communicate through means that are still unknown. A pack of pros are one of the most potent threats to a traveler-they can surround and overwhelm anybody surprisingly quickly, and often know their territory in minute detail. However, pros territorial nature can be used against them-if a pro enters unfamiliar territory then they will often retreat to their home turf, unwilling to risk a confrontation with a pack who would have an upper hand. Pros, like all species of gamer, are humanoid, with short, dusty brown fur and unusually powerful jaws. They are rangy and fast creatures, and while not big they are immensely strong and dangerous, able to take down creatures many times their size-I myself have seen a pack of pros hunt and kill a troll more than once. Pros live almost exclusively in the Gaming Isles, their packs hunting gamers, noobs and any other prey they come across-they even have the audacity to count Campers as a prey animal. The Lolcat Lolcats are quite possibly the most dangerous and insidious of all the internet's denizens. More cunning than a pro, as stealthy as a camper and even more terrifying than a rampaging troll, lolcats represent a great danger to anybody on the Internet. Lolcats move in packs, often ambushing prey and overwhelming it before they can react. Unlike most animals, however, lolcats do not kill their prey with teeth or claws-lolcats instead use a unique defensive mechanism in their vocal chords, one which allows them to produce a sonic boom powerful enough to shatter bones and rupture blood vessels. This means that lolcats can still take down prey that can outrun them. The sonic booms also sound like human speech, though lacking any real coherency, and are usually just nonsensical babble. Lolcats are dangerous and intelligent, and are almost impossible to escape-the only reason I managed survive an encounter with these creatures was the fortunate appearance of a troll. Lolcats look almost identical to the Felix Domesticus, including fur colourations such as tortoiseshell or tabby. This has resulted in more than one tragic case of a lolcat being mistaken for a pet and being taken into a forum town, where it will cause untold damage before being killed itself or driven out. Lolcats are believed to originate from the Social Networking nations, but have recently have been sighted more and more often in the Blogipelachigo. The Spambot A spambot is an unholy amalgamation of spammer and machine, massive devices of terrifying destructive power and strength, armed with great claws and the deadly spam cannon. Exactly who creates these things is unknown, as spammers lack the intellectual capacity to construct any kind of machinery, but whoever has it is easy to see that they have left sanity behind long ago. Spambots are designed specifically to cause destruction, and they exert some mysterious influence over other predatory Internet creatures, especially spammers. Indeed, all spambots are controlled by a spammer merged into the machine by some unholy science, and thanks to this hundreds of spammers, trolls and other dangerous creatures can gather to just one spambot. Entire forum towns have been wiped off the map in a tide of inanity and violence simply thanks to the influence of a single spambot. No two spambots look alike, their unique construction differing between spambots. Some move on great armoured treads, coated in spam cannons that fire rapid firing volleys of pure inane power that can kill a man in a single shot. Others move on great legs of steel, scuttling towards the enemy to tear them to pieces with great mechanical claws. I have even seen a flying spambot at the Siege of Facebook, a creature that flew with great rotor blades straight over the gate and into the ranks of the soldiers I was fighting with. Spambots have been sighted almost everywhere on the internet, and their appearance almost always heralds a great deal of misery and pain for the region in question. |
