well... you said you're just looking for 5 people for the RP so I assume there are NPC guests too? Or is it a private cruise of 5?
Initial idea was to use a different system for playing where several people will take several characters. If I run this like a regular RP game, then I would think that more players are OK to join and maybe 2 characters a player max... depending on interest for this.

Then it makes me worry again about post speeds for people with multiple characters and consequently drop rates.  :-\

I'm starting to get more and more apprehensive about this idea, really...

1. I'm truly open to anything, but regular rp is ok as well :)

2. My post rates tend to be a couple times ever day or two, however I understand how life can be (life really hates fun things that people do) so at least once a week.

3. Gender roles, I mainly play males, however I've always wanted to dabble in the Transgender scene.

4. I'm open to pretty much any kind of rp style, some I'm not used to or have never tried before, but I'm open to alot.

5. I do have a few of my own games going on, but if you need help I wouldn't mind a "behind the scene's" Co gm.

6. I do have one question, I'd the cruise only on open waters or will the ship be visiting port?

Amy: You threw the manual in a supernova? Why?
The Doctor: Because I disagreed with it! Now stop talking to me when I'm cross!”

I can help with co-GMing too if you like~ I'm probably not the best for the position though '''OTL I agree that the more people the more likely for the game to stall.... 5 is still rather few in number though.... I do admit my posting frequency can be rather slow... if I'm playing more than 3 RPs at the same time. Right now though, I'm only playing one (and this one would make 2) so I can expect to write at least in daily basis. Short ones, yes (about 1 or 2, maybe 3 paragraphs each post) but daily nonetheless :)

Thanks for the offer, though I'm not quite sure what to understand as a "behind the scene's" Co gm.

Honestly, I don't think I have seen many games with more active players... ;) Yes, I have been part of larger games with more people, but those had a huge amount of inactive to one-time-posters in them... truly active were only a handful. But yes, the impact if one of 5 slips out is bigger I admit... I still need to settle my mind on this.

I am a slow poster myself. I can pledge 2-3 times a week to check into E for an hour or two (don't let my current rate deceive you, I am home all day, which won't last). Considering other games I have and the extra work of GMing, I don't think I will be able to post more than 1 quality post (~300 words) a week. That's really the commitment I would be expecting from others.

I'm interested!
Would be great to have you on board again. ;) Could you be a sweetheart and answer the six questions from the first post? Just so I can get a rough idea of what I might be able to get together.

Forgot to answer the question o///o

1. Both creative writing or regular RP work for me :)

2. Like I said, I can probably do 1 post every other day

3. Guest, Female, about 18 - 20 age group would be great.

4. Well... I don't really like NC though some scenes that borders NC and Vanilla would be fun like... my character VOLUNTARILY get on all four to invite the public to "play" with her. If the other party would be female would be great but males would be... okay depending on my mood ^^;

5. I can probably help with co-GMing. I has experience with it before though whether or not I'd be a good co-GM would be up for debate ^^;

6. None yet so far other than the ones we're trying to answer

azzmeister89

Alright answering the questions

1. I'm happy with any style we go with

2. I can probably post as much as two or three times between Monday to Friday and then same again for weekends.

3. I'll be playing a heterosexual male in his early to mid 20th

4. Again I'm fine with NC but not sure I'll be happy to play guy on guy scenes.

5. I have no experience with GM'ing so can't help you with that.

Behind the scenes Co gm, meaning sit back and let the game unfold and I can give helpful tips or pointers if needed and all that.  And if you're gone for a few days just tell me to do something and I'll make it happen.

Thanks for those of you answering... I do get a feeling that there's some interest in this, so I have started to work on a bit more detail.

6. I do have one question, I'd the cruise only on open waters or will the ship be visiting port?
Sorry, I think I missed this one before, so here's the answer:
Actually I think I will scratch the international waters from the storyline and instead strictly prohibit minors on the ship. Initial thought was that some counties in the Caribbean (where I wanted the cruise to take place) have a very strict view of sexual intercourse with minors. Therefore if we had characters aged 16-18 we'd have to stay in international waters for them to have unrestricted fun.

But I am getting more and more to the point that part of the fun will be to visit remote islands, visit ports (to take on new players and switch characters if someone feels like it), etc. Then this issue would be getting a bit in the way - so I am really thinking of prohibiting characters under 18 (under 21 need parental waiver for some countries) and for that make landfall.

In that regard here's some Call to Brainstorm for those interested in the game:
I'm looking for fun activities that can be arranged by the cruise director to make the cruise (and the game) more fun. Please submit your suggestions either below or if you think it'd be a cool as a surprise for the guests, PM me. :)
All input welcome!

A good idea is to do maybe a group dinner, all selected at random. Tables seating like 6?

1. I'll go with the flow and try to match the style
2. Can likely get a post out once a week, more if the muse grabs me
3. Looking at a character in the 18-25 bracket
4. I'm ok with NC scenes if communication is made through pm etc
5. I've had limited experience with GMing but will  help any way I can to make this awesome  :D

There could be an evening of drinking games at one point? and then throw spin the bottle and truth or dare too and you got your self a night of fun

MelisaArtemis

A poker night could be fun too, Talent show is another idea that might work, for something more... formal maybe throw a dance party of sort.

Thats the ones I can think off of my head. I'm not quite familiar with what sort of entertainment usually available on a cruise ^^;

CeruleanSerenity

Given the nature of the cruise, I was imagining events might often have a sexual twist... a casino night where participants bet their bodies rather than money, or an amateur pole dancing competition, or a dinner event where one can order sexual services from the wait staff in addition to the usual food and drink, for some examples that come to mind. And considering that the crew is often off-limits, some regular events might be arranged with most off duty, whether casual social gatherings or straight up orgies, to allow the passengers to freely interact with any crew members they have had their eyes on (and vice versa). But I'm not so familiar with cruises either...

justme4386

Thanks for the ideas. Please keep them coming... there's good stuff in there that I'll use.

Overall I get the impression that people prefer to play guests (don't blame you). Therefore I would think main characters will all be guests and crew maybe used as NPCs - after clearing the use with the GMs.

Also I decided (finally) that there will be no person under the age of 18 allowed. Those characters that are younger better have good fake IDs and hell of a great story reason to be there/have gotten those fake IDs.

Also if you think about making a character think about there the money is coming from. This cruise will be expensive and although I'm not making this part of the game you might want to keep in mind to need a character that can spend in the lines of USD 10,000 to USD 30,000 a week for this kind of pleasure... So just for you to have a better understanding of who your character is, you should have an idea where the money is coming from. Might be some inheritance, daddy's credit card, bank robbery ;)... really I'm not very judgmental, but the regular "saved it up from flipping burgers" will probably not come up with this kind of money. ;) We are talking filthy rich and shameless... :D

Also I have started up a world building thread for this and will get posts ready. The thread is labeled closed for now, but I will open it for suggestions once there's some meat in the posts... ;)

I was going to offer a shuttle service from Lyndon Pindling International Airport in Nassau (Bahamas) to Coral Harbour Beach and from there a tender service to the ship is anchored off the shore (so no passersby are offended by the nudists on the ship) for the beginning of play. Undressing will happen in the tenders.

The rest of the route isn't really set and I am not sure if I really want to go to such length to make one. I'd rather say that if we need a larger harbor I will add it in the next day or two... ;) What do you folks think?

On board your personal effects can be stored in lockers that are centrally located and easy to get something from - as you have changing room assignments it might get a bit of a hassle to move stuff around.

Looking forward to it. So far this is interest check only. No application for character slots.

But I think we definitely will need some more guys. :)

Depending on needs when it gets to that, I could possibly play 2 males. Have a few ideas.

Okay, after seeing the world building and reading a certain story series, I could be willing to give this a try.  Just don't expect the fastest poster in the world. 

And, for the record, I plan to play a male character.  I believe that the M-F ratio is leaning to the females?

*clapping hands excitedly* Goodie... looking forward to getting to play with you again.

But if you feel not sure about the posting speed, maybe you will want to have a look first and then join in as it's going? I have made the route very flexible to pretty much take on new guests at anytime.

Also I wouldn't worry about the ratios yet. That's for the actual recruitment. I just care for a tendency here. ;)

Same here, Me.  ;)

I'll keep my eye on everything, most assuredly. 

Well, I plan to play a male anyway.  It seems to be the best option after looking at the interested parties.
