...before I actually make the band thread.

I need to know:
1) What type of band should the RP be focused on? Rock? Metal? What?
2) Should the thread focus on one band, or, alternatively, two rival bands? I like the rival bands idea better.
3) What positions should be filled by players, and which by NPCs? I already have a good idea, but it may require some fine-tuning. All band positions will be filled by players, but I might give myself a non-band character.
4) Anything that should be known before the thread. Band positions are first come, first serve. If there are two bands, then each position (Lead vocals, lead guitar, bass, and drums, as well as any additional positions) could potentialy be filled twice, once in each band.

Name decision is going to be a part of the RP.

Are there going to be actual music duels?

classical music.

1. Whatever genre the band agrees on, as long as it isn't a kind of band requiring only one or two musicians.
2. Rivals
3. I think the musicians and the agent should be people, and everyone else (security, friends, etc) should be NPCs. I personally would like to be tour manager.
4. I think people who take guitarist/bass positions should already know at least the basics of how to use them.

Can I play the accordion?

I don't know how that would work... When I came up with the idea, it was just a roleplay about band life.

classical music.

Thank you for actual input. I will most likely be lead singer or manager of one of the bands.

I'm sure that will go into consideration.
Can I play the accordion?

It's not a question of if you can, but if you will.

dibs on drums. or theremin, my brother has one. they're so cool.

I can, but I won't.

NO DIBS. Until I actually start the RP.

This is probably the only RP that has potential. but even still, on the potential-coolness-o-meter, it still only gets a 2 out of 10.

I could do a kick ass Naruto RP. But it'd be difficult to manage without proper subsections as it requires lots of technical stuff, its an RP that involves leveling, and keeping track of stats and whatnot. To really do a good job I'd need a subsection for the RP itself that held a whole nother message board, with a section for character profiles, one for general comments, one for customs, one for clans, and then a whole ton for location, as its a location RP, not an event RP.

I could also do a decent horror fantasy one with less complication, though I would like to include a check of power and the like.

Can I play the accordion?

only if i can play accordion in the rival band

It's a deal! **holds out a fist full of money**

A Challenger appears!

Hmmm... Maybe it would be better to name people to band positions and dive right in.

Here's the template: (it sucks, I know.)

Name (or nickname):
Age:
Description:
Position on band:
Band(Band K or Band R): ("K" and "R" are tentative names)
Your input for band name:
Misc.:

Due to severe writer's block, I'm not going to fill out the template until tomorrow. Only one person to each position on each band.

Wait a minute, what type of rock is it going to be?

can we post audio clips (a question for the 3 (maybe four) musicians that still frequent this board)

can we post audio clips (a question for the 3 (maybe four) musicians that still frequent this board)

Thats the only way I'll have anything to do with this.

Ill post some guitar audio clips. But most of you are all probably better than me.

if only my brother still lived with me, i'd send in some theremin clips.

@DP: maybe we should try and get some accordion collaboration thing going on... idk i'm tired and bored ad not thinking straight but i wanna see how i measure up to your accordion skills

@insan3: not really.. there are maybe 3 guitarists that frequent this board anymore...

@backflip: i used to have a theremin! those things were badass!

my brother woke me up once via theremin, he put the amp right next to my head, turned his amp up, and touched the frequency pole. (which makes a very loud, high pitched screech)

That is awesome.

look at you're bret farve thread, there's something you'd be interested in.

Yo guys, I got the feeling this whole band RP thing is gonna tank. I'm gonna scrap it. If anybody is still interested, you are free at any point to create a band RP yourself. Not being a music type myself, I was probably the worst person to create a band RP. Other RPs remain in development.

Oh come on. You have to at least see it through to the mid-point, otherwise, why did you bother posting?
