I pitched this idea at the R Ps You and I Want to See thread, and before I work on it, I decided to check if anyone's interested on it before I start developing everything else.

The basic plot would go is that RED has hired nine new assassins, and those assassins are you guys. Each player will create a character that will become one of the classes (Scout, Spy, Engineer...). While the RP will focus more on the interactions between the characters and story, there will, of course, be battles with the all-NPC BLU team. But as time goes by, the characters will start to uncover certain... secrets. Just who is the mysterious Announcer? Who is Saxton Hale? What is the secret behind the RED vs BLU conflict?

Anyway, right now, just want to check if there are people interested. Also, if you have any ideas, feel free to pitch in.

Interest! I'm a big TF 2-fan, and this sounds like a lot of fun!

Jawohl.

In. In so very much.

Very interesting idea.

Would female characters be a yes, or a no? I'm thinking about keeping it male-only, but some people might have good ideas for female characters. Plus... the Pyro.

I am very much supporting of female characters. While at least eight of the game characters are male, we could still make reasonable female ones.

Plus, I want to make one.

I'm alright with it, as long as the females are quirky and interesting.

Hmm, I remember a few years back I was in a medieval-TF2 setting RP with DnD-like rules. It didn't go too far before dying, from what I recall, but perhaps an RP closer to the source material would do better.

Count me as interested, but I have a question: What's the expected pace of this RP? Multiple posts a day? One post a day? Slower?

EDIT: I mean per person, by the way.

I'm looking for a medium-paced RP. Not too fast, so people don't get lost, but not too slow, so interest doesn't slow down and dies. I believe we'll find our pace as the RP begins.

I'll post a sign-up thread soon enough, so, anyone has anything else to comment?

How are you planning on handling combat? We doing free-form or rules based?

Also, could I possibly call dibs on Engi?

Free-form. That's the whole "I hit you, you tell me if you blocked or dodged". Also, battles will happen, but it won't be the most important part of the RP.

Or we could just find an empty server and play the battles there. Ha.

An interesting thought, but has a number of things that would have to be resolved in order to work.

Let's see...

• We'd have to make sure we can all get on reliably at the same time, overcoming timezones and other RL issues. (Or at least, everyone involved in the battle would have to.)
• We'd have to either fight each other, breaking all kinds of continuity if we're all supposed to be on the same side; fight against bots, which would be really easy; (Though that may be the point.) or find some people to volunteer to fight us.
• We'd have to find just the right server and hope really hard that random people don't join. That or one of us would have to be capable of hosting. (Before you ask, I don't think I could.)

Don't get me wrong, that would be all kinds of awesome if we could get it to work. It's just that, realistically, I doubt we could.

Calling dibs on the Medic here...

Well, I was just joking. Sign-up thread later today.

Totally interested!

Now, the only thing left is writing the actual sign-up thread. I suck at that.

Hrm... this is going to take a while...

Might be interesting...playing a Spy would be fun.

Calling dibs already? I guess I'm going with-

Edit:Changed my mind, going with Soldier.

Hmmm...

...If the Heavy isn't already claimed, I might be interested in trying something... Dunno if it'll work out though, but... Put me down as a "maybe" for now, I guess.

Possible interest. I'd probably play as the (a?) Pyro.

While I haven't played TF 2 since forever ago, I'm a little interested.

Tentatively reserving Demoman.

So we'd be playing OCs that are the same classes, not the 9 characters from the game. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

... Wait, that means I could... No, must resist... Urge to make... Engi-tan... Not good at... Playing female characters...
