Superstar Wars sign up thread

[Oaf]

Because I'm a twat who can't stop running these sorts of things, fuck it, I'm gonna start a new season of Superstar Wars mere hours after 1FF Wars has finished.

For those who have played before, this will be a little different than before, so you're best off reading up on it. And for those who haven't, here is a brief run down of what is involved... and when I say brief, it is very brief. Full rules and stuff will go up when the game starts properly.

As I mentioned before elsewhere, I want to take a different approach to SSW this time around. Before, it was always treated as if Wrestling were real, and you'd try to improve your ability to beat people and make it to the top. This time around, it's all different...

Mainly, in the sense that in this SSW universe, Wrestling is acknowledged as the fake, scripted show that we all know and love. Wins and loses aren't really important... there are really two important things that you need to drive toward. One is OVERNESS. This is how much the fans react to you, one way or the other. The other is, simply put, how much Vince Mcmahon likes you. It's difficult to succeed in WWE without both of these things... otherwise you end up over as fuck with no push (think CM Punk before MitB 2011) or getting a push even though nobody really wants you in the main events (think the numerous "Vince Mcmahon" guys who he's tried to push over the years)...

But of course, many other factors come into play.

As for how the game itself will work, put simply, it will be a role playing game mixed with a bit of the old prediction games we used to do on TFF. You'll dish out your stats while creating a character, make decisions, have random events pop up that need your reaction, interact with the likes of Vince Mcmahon and other wrestlers, form relationships, form rivalries and overall try to make it to the WWE hall of fame...

But as I said, full rules and stuff will be explained once it's up and running. But first I need to know how many people I'm likely to see taking part... honestly, it'll work with 4 people, and it'll work with 24. I just need to know so I can make a few changes as required...

So who's in?
Epic
Techno Natch
Baz
The Minsterman
Cas
Christian Slater
Spirederman
Luke

How long will this take?

 

[Oaf]

Depends on the amount of players really.

To be honest, I have no idea though. It's a bit different to anything that's ran before with a lot of new systems in place... won't really get a picture of the scale of it until it's up and running.

 

[epic73]

I'm in then.

 

[Techno Natch]

Usually miss these but I'm interested. When are you hoping to start though as I'm away without net for ten days in August which I imagine will be a problem.

 

[Oaf]

To be fair, I'm away for 10 days in August myself so there will be a bit of a break period at some point regardless

This game is pretty passive though, for the most part. You could probably do well without actually doing anything at all, with a lot of luck But yes, taking part more does mean that you'll be more likely to have good stuff happen to you.

 

[Techno Natch]

Go on then I'll give it a go.

 

[Baz]

Yeah why not, i'm game.

 

[Oaf]

Bloody typical. Years of false starts and this never happening with people saying they're up for it, then I go to start one for REALZ and only three people!?

WHERE YOU AT YOU FUCKIN' NERDS?

Right, because I have never and will never remember how to tag members, I'm just gonna be annoying and quote everybody who has ever expressed an interest in taking part in a SSW game before.

I'm not in, Oaf. Thanks.

 

[Techno Natch]

I'm not in, Oaf. Thanks.

 

[TheMinsterman]

Yeah, sure thing.

 

[last request]

Gonna sit this one out Jinder. I'm not so much into wrestling anymore which fills me with either shame if a wrestling fan is reading this, or pride if a wrestling hater is reading this.

 

[Cas]

Go on then.

 

[iesty wfc]

I haven't got enough time to compete even as current champ

Lets just say I fell out of love with wrestling and I give the belt back in a bit retirement ceremony at the start

 

[Christian Slater]

I'm game, although I'm on holiday at the mo'. Give me a week

 

[epic73]

I have never and will never remember how to tag members

@MemberName

 

[Spirederman]

In, obviously.

 

[Oaf]

@MemberName

Ah yes...

But I guarantee that I forget this by next time I need it.

 

[Spirederman]

Oaf

Hahaha, that simple. I never knew either, I always used to find a post of the person I wanted to tag, press reply get the user number, back up out of the reply and do a new post in [ USER=406]Name[/USER] format.

I work in IT

 

[Oaf]

Hang on, what the fuck? I was actually just about to do a post saying "due to lack of interest, this has been cancelled until further notice"...

Then I realised that I'd missed a whole bunch of posts somehow that I'd never seen with 3 more people signing up

7 is actually fine. 7 will do.

And to be honest, the best part is that this is a game where people could actually join as it's being run if they wanted... so there is potential for more to join in. Though they'd be at a bit of a disadvantage... but it wouldn't be impossible.

 

[Baz]

Sometimes it's easier to join in when it's already started as you can get a feel for the others direction.

 

[merseyboyred]

Sorry Oaf, I don't feel like I'm on 1FF enough anymore to do this justice.

 

[Luke]

I'm happy to take part
