As far as the villains go, I feel like we should put "Villain" in the sub-title of your character or whatever, just to alert other RPers that this character is meant to cause ruckus and such. Also, at least in my case, it's going to alert them that I really don't mind if that character is smashed.
Next up, armies. Are we allowed to train armies? I'm just wondering about this for my villains, Scar kind of needs a couple hundred hyenas to do much of anything.
My suggestion is a cap of a hundred troops for any single character. In my case, Scar could train a hundred hyenas, and then Shenzi, Bonzo and Ed could technically all train a hundred apiece if they were in play. You train troops in quarters, so it takes 4 days at least to CONplete an army. While training troops that is the only move your RP character is allowed to make, basically you just post "Troop training (25%)," "Troop training (50%)" and so forth until you have your army completed.
Thoughts?
Would there be a lion army to counter? As legendary as they are, the bosses of TLK can't handle that many hyenas.
Okay, sorry, just had another thought. Is it possible for a character to, in a way, be two places at once?
For example, Mushu (Con) and Minnie (me) were having a conversation in the Castle. Then I sort of forgot about it and Then when I was about to reply, I realized Mushu had gone through the portal to the TLK world.
So...would it make sense to continue talking to a character who's done that, or are they somewhere else for the time being?
Unless there's some time-thing going on, I'm for one character in one place at a time.
*looks at my Shenzi NPC* Oops. I could probably go back and have Sam put "villain" in my title.
There was some debate about that, I think...I don't remember what we settled on for armies. Just wanna point out that his name is Banzai not Bonzo but that's not the issue right now We could build some massive armies that way. Which sounds good, but at the same time, would it just become a giant non-stop war of trying to build and move armies through the worlds? I'm not a RPer so I don't know how carried away you guys get.
So do we put “Hero” for hero characters then?
I’d suggest build chains. Maybe a bit complicated for newer RPers, but it’s the best solution imo.
We couldn't have discussed this before I got my NPCs? I think people know who the heroes 'n villains are.

No, it's just to alert everyone that this character is not to be messed with. Of course, I would think everyone taking part in the RP is at least a moderate Disney fan -- so, assuming they recognize villains when they see them, it wouldn't be necessary.
I know I already asked this, but what is that again? Just building an army over a course of several days, right?
Fair enough.
Well, there’s a bit more to it. Yes, in principle, and you make a post every day saying what the progress the army-building is at. Like:
Yo, what does everybody think about having a plot, of sorts? I only have one character at this point, what would people think of my taking on some of the villains and causing some widespread damage and danger?
Was gonna do something with my Tron villains once I get a world and an army.
Firstly, you still want to RP, right Sham? I saw that you made a post in the Winnie the Pooh World, so I assume you're still around.
Okay, so, this isn't really important, but a while back when we were debating having leaders for all the HQs, we were puzzling over who would lead the TLK world. Then we decided we didn't want leaders, which is fine by me. But for this world, we still might want to figure out who's the actual ruler, even though the RPers ourselves aren't in any type of hierarchy here. If that makes any sense.
So anyway, I was thinking maybe it's a polyarchy of sorts, with all four monarchs (Mufasa, Sarabi, Simba, Nala) managing the kingdom together? It might be more complicated than it's worth, but since we're ignoring the plot of the actual movie, we need some sort of organization going on.
Then there's various other characters. Rafiki and Zazu will be...just, around, I assume, doing whatever they please in the world or exploring other worlds. I'm guessing part of the HQ topic is allocated for the Elephant Graveyard, which is where Scar and Shenzi can spend some of their time. Ultimately, the characters will all interact with each other; and I'm not trying to dictate what they should do or where they should stay, but I just needed to clear some things up as far as the actual story setup goes.
That turned out way longer than I meant for it to be. Ah, well, maybe I should've used jammers after all.
I guess we'd never have know until we started anyway.
I think a multi-ruled Kingdom/World sounds a bit too complicated. So perhaps (assuming that they're both adults now of course) Simba & Nala rule TLK World, with Mufasa & Sarabi offering guidance and maybe step in to rule while the others are away. I don't know what's best for the dynamics of the RP, but I'm just offering my opinion.

XD That's exactly what I was thinking. Well, we could have an army of lionesses, not too unrealistic. Personally I think that building up huge armies is more complicated than it's really worth, though.

I agree. That's essentially what Tigress said, which was what I was thinking, which Ciar agreed with, so I'd say it sounds like a good plan.

Well, there’s a bit more to it. Yes, in principle, and you make a post every day saying what the progress the army-building is at. Like:
Day 1: Army 10%
Day 2: Army 20%
Day 3: *forgets to continue chain*
Day 4: Army 30%
If you get me.
I get you. How do you know it's 10%, though? If I remember correctly, I've seen some players do chains by 25% a day; so if that's the case, one could logically do 50% a day and cut the time in half. I'm guessing there must be some rules here.

The people building obviously don’t decide the rules case by case. Well, technically they do, but in advance and the rules don’t change. There are set percentages for everything buildable usually. And when there’s something built that isn’t on the list you just go to 10%.

If an army at all we should keep a limit to say, 50 max? At this point in time I don't see it necessary but until some major villains want to take Pride Rock, I'd keep it on the shelf.

As someone who’s dealt with armies in RPs,
1. 50 is wayyyyyy too small.
2. We can’t keep it on the shelf. We need to plan ahead.
