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.
I realize 50 might be hard to work with, but at the same time, having a pride of 100+ lionesses just sounds ridiculously unrealistic. Animal Planet vs. Disney: the Epic Struggle Even for a Disney movie.
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?
*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.
*shrugs* Just a suggestion, not a biggie.
I must've missed the debate. My bad, I'm a badly informed Lion King fan. I like the idea of villains more with armies, and good guys more just like bosses, but we could do it both ways. You need like 15 hyenas apiece to match up to one lioness, so it makes it hard to CONpete if they have equal forces. I was thinking like if we had a battle in the Lion King hub or whatever, other heroes could come over and join in the battle, evening out the odds.
Okey-dokey. I think I'm gonna grab Scar and get things kicked off at the Lion King world.
*butts in*
Err...actually, Shamrock claimed Scar. I realize he hasn't been RPing the character much, which is probably just a result of the evil thing known as IRL... I just tagged him in another post here to see if he's still interested, though, so whether or not he is would technically depend on whether or not you can play Scar.
*timid smile* Sorry.
My bad, thanks for letting me know. I gave up on memorizing who had whom a long time ago, I just hadn't seen him around the hub, so assumed he hadn't been claimed.
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?

I like the idea about adding "Villain" to the character's sub-title, that'll help -- now I wish I'd done that with Yzma. Can one change the name of their RP avatar?
The armies idea might work, even if it seems a little complicated to me. I'm very experienced in RPs like this, so I'm not sure what my opinion should be.
I would assume they're editable.
I've trained some troops in a RP before, it is a bit complicated, but it would allow heroes to epically smash a bunch of villains.

Would there be a lion army to counter? As legendary as they are, the bosses of TLK can't handle that many hyenas.
I figured they might, with the help of a few heroes from other HQs.
As far as armies go, though, I think that yes, the heroes should probs be allowed to train troops, but maybe a lower cap on their armies, since there's more heroes to train troops than there are villains? Like 50 for humans, 100 for villains?
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:
Day 1: Army 10%
Day 2: Army 20%
Day 3: *forgets to continue chain*
Day 4: Army 30%
If you get me.
That is exactly what I'm thinking, except in 25% increments, we'd never get troops trained at that rate.
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.
Glad to know I'm not the only one with sinister plans.

It is beyond impossible to fight a war with 50 people. Let alone animals.

With the heroes added, that makes the odds 60-100. Noooooooope.
Even for a Disney movie.
