We welcome you to our newest project, Dillimore's Stories - Role Play. Without further formalities, we would get straight to the point.
In DS-RP we aim to provide you a SA:MP server where you could take on the life of a character that lives or has a connection to the small town of Dillimore.
Here we plan to offer you various opportunities for Role Playing. You will start off as a regular human which could pick on any interest one could think of: Politics, Law Enforcement, Businesses, Medical domain, "Underground" connections and businesses that are on "the other side of the law" and so on. We encourage any sort of idea that you may come up with as long as it's decent from a social point of view. By encouraging, we really mean that we as the Staff, will offer incentives and come to aid with any tools that we have available to make your RolePlaying vision come true, if it's creative and spawns even more Roleplay for the community that is.
This announcement is addressed to 2 groups of people. This is how we would categorize every reader of this message, the newcomers and the veterans. You could quickly assess which one group you belong to, obviously. Bear with me for a moment so that you could understand how these 2 groups will co-exist in this brand new project.
There is one thing that needs to be mentioned to both: the start of DS-RP will be a clean one, everyone starts from 0.
As a small background story - in the past there has been a community that played this concept before, under different circumstances and in a few ways. Feel free to socialize and find out the full story if you're interested, this announcement is not about it.
-> If you are a newcomer.
It is important to note that DS-RP is a place where you could start and keep on doing vanilla RolePlay (carrying out a normal human's life), as you may have been used to if you played on other roleplaying SA:MP servers. You also probably noticed that "supernatural" is a term we used in a serious manner as well.
Although we introduce supernatural elements into this server, we will always be a Heavy Roleplay type of server - we keep it real and serious, there is no Zombie or Team-DeathMatch mode to it. On this occasion, we invite you to try a completely different concept than what you have seen before and get to test out the unique experience of playing a character in the World of Darkness universe. (more on that to be found on our introductory topic - https://ds-rp.forumotion.com/t1-introduction-to-ds-rp)
That doesn't mean you can't roleplay what you're comfortable with - if you have a group you'd like to create a criminal/legal -normal- faction with, because of your experience on that field, be our guest! As stated before, we are to encourage such initiatives and reward them.
At some point you will interact with veterans, and you will see that you shall receive guidance on the go through any part you may encounter the "World of Darkness" aspects of the game - so do not feel threatened if you are to find it complex or time-consuming to understand. It all goes down to having fun and roleplaying something unique.
-> If you are a veteran.
Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad to welcome you to what I believe that it would be a great platform for World of Darkness. Here's why:
*This project is being led by people with undying passion for the community - most of you already know this fact, but it is important to mention it again as this is important in our opinion.
*Active development is to be expected for the project. No matter the state of the gamemode/script, it will always be on an ascending trend from the quality's standpoint. Suggestions and Bug reporting sections will be closely monitored by our staff team and escalated accordingly.
*Positive elements from the past communities will be extracted and fused together for a better version of the server and the negative elements will be kept in mind so that past mistakes may not be an issue for our project. It is after all, the point of history to put it to good use so that we don't do the same mistakes of our predecessors.
*The latest gameplay that our community witnessed implied CK on their first character's death. We keep this style, but we're modifying it a little. We are going to use a system of dramatic wounds (the old "permanent wound"). This means that whenever a character will reach 0 HP, their attacker or Storyteller will get to decide what type of dramatic wound the victim will receive. In order to kill a character, permission for Character Kill will have to be requested from the staff team. This can be done retroactively if no staff were online at that moment.
-> For everyone.
**Each player will start as a human, with the ability to apply at any point for a race. Application's format complexity will depend on the type of character you apply for.
**We are going to make a few selections for the people that are interested in playing from the beginning in one of the official factions: Red County's Sheriff Department; Red County's Emergency Services; The Government, of course, only with the jurisdiction over Dillimore, with the possibility to expand to Red County later on. (we're basically talking about being a mayor and having a council)
**Additionally, for criminal/legal yet unofficial faction lovers, feel free to contact us if you wish to form up such a group, and we might help you out with a few things.
Server's release date deadline: 11th of November.
