How about you let the GM (Me) take all the ideas into thought and when I see it fit to throw something into the loop to twist the story I'll do so. I don't want random players going around burning everything or throwing the whole RP for a loop.<br/><br/>The bad guy will be and NPC more likely a rival owner of another school with some links to the politics. He will introduced in the first post by me but anything "Live Changing" will not happen until a good 7-10 pages into the roleplay which could equal weeks or even a few months.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=84591.msg3727743#msg3727743">Quote from: Haibane on 05-10-2010, 20:24:38</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">No, I wasn't thinking that subtly, I was just thinking that a petty arsonist might think it a safer target to burn down a few grape storage sheds than someone's house (which lets face it could easily become murder) and I wasn't thinking this NPC Bad Guy wants that, he just wants to send Caelius a message to back off on some deal he's muscling in on or some leverage he's putting on a member of the senate or something.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>At the start of the RP I was thinking about having word spead threw out the house that someone has been stealing wine from the storage sheds. Something just to drive that something is up. But still leaving it as "It might be some poor basted just stealing wine."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=84591.msg3727743#msg3727743">Quote from: Haibane on 05-10-2010, 20:24:38</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">There could be a couple of sides to some political skulduggery going on and Caelius has supported one side and the arsonist (or whatever crime he commits - maybe vandalism) is working for the other side. Or to bring the plot more back in with a link to the gladiator school, the backlash could be from some arena fight fixing that's been going on.<br/><br/>We could get quite involved in the power politics of the senate with this plot but its a biggie and would quite taint the whole game so I'm a bit reluctant to make the suggestions unless our dear GM wants that.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>The world of politics will slowly start to show its face as the RP grows. Maybe sealing some ideas from Spartacus' ideas where the world of Gladiators and politics start to merge. The Gladiators bring in more money, the head of the house starts to get greedy and of need of more power.<br/><br/>Also I have decided to let players have more then one character if they want.<br/>
