' Wrote:Again, how do you write an RP for somthing that just kills humans.
If you're thinking that all they can do is that then you're quite wrong. There are many cool things to play with, to experiment with, for example one of our members a sometime ago did a scouting run into liberty space. There he met a character, whom he roleplayed with, thankfully the player behind was a good roleplayer too, so they it going like the Nomad was messing with the mind of that character, he started seeing visions, odd things and at the end what happened is when the forces came to investigate the source they found that character attacking them instead believing they are the Nomads, as in hallucinating. It was done entirely in roleplay and many saw it. Some participated, while others kept watching the roleplay scene. Everything was improvised, no plans or anything happened, we don't even know who was playing that character. So, there many things and ways, just be creative and improvise. Then there is a special relation between them and Outcasts too. So it is clearly not that simplified as some assume it to be until they get more experience from various sides.
As for the tip, I'm afraid things remain as they are, since it's the policy, and one of the base and important element the faction keep working on and was made into the game. The story helps them to understand the Nomads, sometimes people put interesting and useful ideas into them, some of which we incorporate into our roleplay upon the acceptance of the person who proposed such idea, but sometimes not, in case of inconsistency with existing material and style. The story is also a good method to help person to understand the concepts of the nomad roleplay, it helps the applicant to see and define his or her character more clearly. Finally some, who have previously didn't like storywriting much, found something interesting there that ticked their mind and they found enjoyment in storywriting in general, not even specifically Nomad-related themes, which is definitely a positive thing.
