I'm posting another update chart so that I don't forget who's claimed which characters. I'll also write how many characters you all have left to choose, assuming we're doing five.
That was basically a more detailed version of my idea. A bunch of portals leading to all the worlds.
Seeing as we have a decision here, I suppose it's time for the next topic. How should the other topics/worlds work?
My idea is we have a world for the various films we have already, should a character here be represented. (If someone brings in characters from other films, we can open that world for business.) That way, we don't have to stuff every imaginable Disney world into this thing, and have mass confusion. Characters would be able to go through worlds as they please, as long as they follow the map, or take a castle route from the center of the world. (No warping across the board, essentially, like in Castle or LOTR, but maybe make the time limit shorter to speed things up.)
Worlds can be taken in combat, and individuals or groups that own the turf can do as they please. Build defenses, keep intruders out, allow friends in to have fun, pretend to let someone in and then KO them when they least expect it, look for honey, etc. Blocking of castle portals or entrances is STRICTLY PROHIBITED, though defenses can be placed nearby. If the current commander of turf is defeated, another player can claim the defeated parties' turf if they're fast enough. One player may need to keep track of who has what, or we could make a report topic to report who has what.
There can be various factions/armies, formed by various players if they want to team up. Of course, they can betray one another in this case, split up, unite and share turf, etc.
Again, more ideas that are up for discussion.
(Before I say anything, I apologize for sounding like a beginning RPer. )
I'm a little confused about the bolded part. So, this "map" you speak of...once we get all the worlds together in the order we want them, we have to drop a post in each one saying something along the lines of "[this character] passes through [this world]" in order to get where we're going? Or am I interpreting this all wrong.
So, here's something for us to think about - how will NPCs work? (Non Player Characters, used for armies and stuff like that).
For example, in TLK Scar has a hyena army. Some, like the main three, could be played as characters by users, but we don't have enough people for the entire army to be played. There are similar cases across Disney, like the Elephant Herd in TJB.
So, do we just only have as many as can be played by users, or do the main users (Scar for the hyenas, for example) get to control a certain number of minions? How many should they get?
I think I understand -- so in this case, three users would play the main three hyenas, while the rest would just be assumed to be there and still be under Scar's command despite not being represented by a user. That seems like it'll work, though I'm not sure what a good number of minions would be. Or it might be easier to restrict the minions to the three played by users, like you said.
Actually, you don't just claim a world like that. You can choose up to five characters from any of the worlds. So, for example, you could choose all the main characters from the Jungle Book, but not the Jungle Book itself.
Jack Sparrow, Bagheera, King Louie, Spirit Mufasa, Mushu.
TheGreatCon has already claimed Mushu, actually. And...well, RomeNZ has claimed Mufasa, so...how does that work, like...is he alive, then, or is he a ghost...what's going on here. I'm not sure that really works, unfortunately. Besides those two, the other characters are all yours.

(That is, are we including POTC in this?)
Et is Disney, it'd be a bit o' a shame ef ye di'n't...
But then, Marvel and star wars are disney too.

I was initially thinking making HQs for each individual world, but then thought that would be impractical. So a great big universe mashup would be best, like the Disney Infinity game (judging by the one ad I saw. )
But ultimately I wholeheartedly think bun02 should be the leading authority on this.
Yeah...
It was just an idea.
Well, yeah, that's what planning topics are about. Elaborating on the concept of the individual HQ/World concept I thought that if we did that then users with their claimed characters can jump worlds so that character can free-roam there, if not following a set storyline. Kinda like a video game, but better.
And I just thought that Bun should be one with some weight to her word as she bears superior Disney wisdom to us.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Depending on how many worlds we start out with, we could just add new ones as we go along...I guess what worlds we choose would probably be based on the characters in the RP, right? But I kinda feel the same way, it might be better to have a giant universe mashup. Guess it could work either way, what do you all think?
Well...thank you, Rome. I'll be happy to help take charge, though I want to make sure everyone's happy with the plans we decide.
If we did do individual worlds, I was thing that people RPing could hop worlds with their claimed characters, e.g Ralph in Arendelle or Flynn in San Fransokyo, (which would be really weird but for the sake of the Role Play. ) Yeah... We should decide on a few different major locations at least. What are some signature Disney realms? Yeah, it could... Oh, I just had an idea! How about just one huge map, incorporating all the worlds we like, and when someone wants to go to a certain place they can travel there by sea/land/air (or even a teleportation device perhaps, or) on a mode of transportation from any Disney realm. What do you think?
Well, where would we be without your infinite Disney-wisdom?
