Ahem,
Judging by previous conversations as well as the low activity in WoH, the plotlines are simply too involved and confusing for any newcomers as well as old participants. (yes, I can use big words like 'participant') So, brainstorm time.
Things we have figured out based on experience :
- No 'all powerful' characters (ex. Arcyakt - he just made things complicated and caused a lot of argument, considering the fact that he had no limit to his powers, and kind of made defeating him illogical)
- Too many factions = bad. It just makes things hectic and hard to put together, expecially since with each new faction, you need at least 3 more characters, usually played by someone that already has multiple characters.
- Large scale = bad. I mean, in WoH, it's all large-scale political schemes that go nowhere. There are no epic duels, huge arguments (Hey, the Sel vs. Niran stuff got old, but it was interesting), etc.
- Feel free to add anything else.
So based on these main no-no's, we need plottage. I was thinking that some kind of plot with two (somewhat equal) sides would be good. WoH was too much, but AMU was too one-sided. I'm sure Kiln and Shogun got bored RPing with only Arcyakt. If we could balance out the sides a little more, it would be good. And of course, there has to be some good old internal conflict.
If most agree with these points, we can get into more specifics.

Here's an idea, loosely taken from Fuzzy's. (mainly because the mention of a lord sparked an idea)
Okay, some sort of lord (be it a lord visiting SKyrim as an ambassador, or native to the area) is murdered by one, a few, or all of the bad guys, and the lord's heir barely escapes. Which means that the group has to give chase and try to kill him. The heir forms his own group (the good guys) and then it goes from there.
Another thing that would make it interesting is if some other plot unfolded, causing the two groups to work as one for awhile. This could happen a lot, causing switches in sides and assassination attempts during 'truce'.
Just an idea.

Hmm, this seems a little like the plot from the Oblivion MQ but, well, it does sound fun. Let's go with it. But why does the abassador(SP?) get assainated(SP?)? What reason (besides a political one) could make someone want to kill a lord from another proveince(SP?)? (My spelling is horrible today...  ) Mabye there could be some sort of blood-fued bewteen the two lords that ended in the nord lord...(Damnit, I ryhmed)...ordering the death of the other guy.... EDIT: Also, it's 5:19 where I am now...(compare with the forum's time) and no one is on... Are you all too far away for me to actively keep my character in the mix of things? BTW: I'm in the states... This post has been edited by Hukai The Wandering: Apr 16 2006, 10:15 PM

yes!! Then it´s settled ok? Danny...you´re the leader of the gang....it´s best that way! And the more info on the background the better! Then we can post our charachters. I suppose no uber-charachters? Not too extravagant magic either? (just some weird-mind-reading-tormenting-murderous-spell huh?  j/k)

I know this is completely retarded (no offesense to anyone....cry-babies), but what if we also have a general RP thread that has no plot. You know, it's just a big area that people can go into the do whatever they want. People could pretend like they're in their home twon (Chorrol, Skingrad, etc.) and just do everyday stuff. If they want, they could go off and act out a certain dunegon if they wanted. No global plot. No set enemy or obstical. No fixed time...er, well, that might be a good idea though....
Hmm, seemed like a good idea when I started...
Anyway, I like the Nord Lord (someone just shoot me) idea. When will the story area thread be made?
