Camp Manimental <a roleplay> discussion

Do you have any questions about the group? Do you have an idea you think would be a success? Say it all here!

Ok ok! So i was thinking that a Karneval would be a good idea.
What is a Karneval? A karneval is an event that consists of many contests where The cabins are pitted against each other to determine their ranking of strength. underhanded tactics may be used but killing is totally not allowed.
The Karneval will be held in the arena where a large dome is set and devided into different locations.
Each winner of each contest will be giving a title that suits their abilities and will be awarded with something that they desire.

A Karneval is a point-based duel system. A player earns five points by being able to deploy their Weapons. When players are locked in combat, they earn points at the start of the battle. The winner earns a bonus for winning a duel and then she/he earns additional points by taking their opponent's current points. This system maximizes a animentals combat experience by encouraging them to battle one another and incentives them to battle stronger opponents. In addition, players may exponentially earn points based on their number of consecutive victories.

The Karneval is held the fith day if every month.

I may edit a bit more later

Anaralia- Ok, so I generally think it would be very exciting to incorporate the Karneval into the monthly activities of Camp Manimental. It's a really good idea! Of course there are many things that will have to be sorted out, like the point system and the type of competitions that will be held. Also, since the players have magic by their side, I don't find it necessary to include weapons in all rounds of the game. Players will have to be heavily armoured and there will have to be a set of rules like no maiming, killing, cheating, etc. Also, not all campers can compete, since that would just be very confusing. There will have to be a certain number of people from each cabin, half male half female. Just so it's all fair. Perhaps there could be Karneval teams of some sort, so the strongest players can compete. And the team can be switched up every once in a while.
As for the prize, it could be some kind of advantage the winning team have for either their cabin, no chores, a feast, or something like that. I also think it would be interesting if the team with the least amount of points gets some sort of punishment. Not a very serious one, just something funny and embarrassing like wearing a certain type of clothes for a week or eating only one kind of food.
Many details will have to be figured out, but I think it's a very fun idea! Good job!

Lol we are totally putinv things in from CHB and i love u for that! (Nit that way though)
Alright how about you and i try to make our own versions of te Karneval and join some parts together

Haha I know! But I guess everyone loves CHB, so that's not a bad thing XD Okay, let's do it. First I think we should discuss rules?

Rules...hm?
• Every camper who has been chosen by the Head Counciler of the cabin must play. If they do not wish to paticipate, others who are willing to take the place of one of the chosen will be allowed to do so, and will be called tributes.
• Although magic will be used a lot in this game, it is advised that you also bring a weapon with you, since weapons will be required in one of the contests.
• Cabins are allowed to create an alliance with another element.
• Killing and maiming a camper is not allowed and the punishment for breaking this rule is the loss of dessert (for a month).
• Each camper participating will be rewarded with five points at the start of the game and will be rewarded with 5 more points after defeating an opponent.
• Victory over a battle is decided when one of the dueling campers is unable to move (unconcious).
• If the defeated camper had already claimed multiple points and lost, then the points are then transfered to the winner.
• Campers who have the most points and are the last onea standing will be ranked accordingly and given a title to match their persona.

Okay, here are my thoughts. There are a few things that could be changed:

-So I like the fact that the Councelors get to choose, so they will have to be someone very responsible. Also, should we have 1 or 2 Head Councelors for each cabin? Like one boy one girl? That way it would be easier because the girl could just choose the girl competetors and vice versa. I also like the tributes thing xD
-Weapons can be found in the arsenal (we could make like a small one in the Building) so campers can go on and pick their weapons whenever they choose, as long as it's before the game.
-As for alliances, I'm not sure how that would work. I guess it depends on the competitions we make up. So we'll see about that.
-This is a very important rule, but the punishment should be way worse than no dessert. I think they should be locked up in their cabin with one meal a day. Something like soup. For a whole month. (That would be if they killed). Maiming would be the same punishment but for a week. Oh and they wouldn't be allowed to participate in Karneval again.
-this one is fine
-I think the opponent should be able to surrender, and that would also declare the victory of a cabin.
-if points are transferred to the winner, then an equal number of rounds must be played by each cabin. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
-this one would include the prize and punishment we discussed.
Also, I will add one:
-Karneval dress code: Competetors are to come dressed in a white shirt and black pants, along with any footwear they find suitable for the occasion. They should also wear a belt, with their weapon tucked into a holster.
-Weapons should be easily visible to the audience and competetors will be checked for any other weapons to see if there is more than one. Additional ones will be taken away.

Have you seen Freezing? The idea of the Karneval is based of off the first episode and will be something like that. Also like the hunger games.
And since we are pitted against each other, it doesnt matter what cabin we are from. This is to test how strong we are and what rank we fit in. We are allowed to attack each other, even if we are from the same cabin.
Alliannces can be formed but keep in mind that in the end some of them might turn against you and take away your ponts.

No, I have not seen Freezing. So my only problem is that we can't make it too violent. It is after all, a camp and people need to learn to get better at fighting in Karneval. It can't just be about pushing them to their limits. I don't think it would work out if campers fought others of their same cabin. It would be too much chaos. I just now understood the vision you had in mind. I was personally thinking it would be more like a karate match where people came up to the center of the arena two by two and fought each other. It would be a little more different that way.

And I thought about it a bit. I think we should do this after some members have actually joined. Now we should stick to just roleplaying normally in the locations that are already there. I dropped by and saw how your character sheet is coming and I noticed you mentioned Karneval. It would be better if you took that out since it has not been created yet :)

As in the outfit or the name. Cause i coulndt think of a name so i just named her Karneval.

outfit :) and I could give you a few name ideas if you want so it won't be as confusing to people that she's named Karneval

Nah ill stick with the name ive grown a liking to it.
And ok ill take it out but will pug ig back up once it is created. If that alright with you that is

Sure that's fine, but I'm afraid that means we have to change the name of the event. It sounds like too much of a coincidence. That should be figured out once we continue planning.

I was actually thinking that the event was named after her since her father is one of the camp directors. And your dad could also be one of the directors and name an event after you. But i guess if u dont want that its fine.

The event could be named Quarantine too if u decide that the name needs to be changed

She can be the daughter of a member of Pure, that's fine. I just thought it a bit extreme to name a very big event after one of his children. And the camp has been running on for a fair amount of years, with the members of Pure changing as the others passed away. So it wouldn't make sense, really. That's the only reason. This group has to be a bit realistic, and we have to keep some open spots for future members of the group. And again, if everyone's character was a child of a camp director, that would be unrealistic. :)

Aight then lets change the events name
Ill let u decide on what to name it

Ok I'll think about it. By the way It would be great if you could invite some people to this group.

I actually already invited a few people (i dont have many friends yet) and ot seems like three of them have already joined.

Oh oh! I just got an idea! How about we also fight against some monsters?

-thank you! That's great

-and the camp is protected from monsters, so none of them can get in. If we fought any they'd have to be outside the camp or brought in for demonstration for one of the classes.

Lol i thought of rqby when u said they had to be brought in for demonstrations. Hah.

haha. But yeah, that will all be decided once more members decide to actually participate and make characters that are teachers and stuff

Mhm kk
