This is a repost of my original survey because the Roblox filters just put in "[REDACTED]" instead of the desired text.

Yo, so I'm looking to make an RP on here that is really successful, unlike some of my other ones that have crashed and burned spectacularly. As a result, I've got a few questions I just wanna throw at people to see what the general Roblox population is interested in! :)

1) Mix and match the below charts to choose the genre that interests you! :D (EX. Magical Modern, Steampunk Futuristic, etc)
Try to choose combos that make sense tho.

A-Technology/Abilities

Magical-People can bend the laws of the world! The sky's the limit on incantations, potions, enchanted items, and so forth. There can be other species, sentient or no. So get cracking! :)
Cyberpunk-Ultra fast, high-tech. Humanity has entered the space age! Robots, cyborgs, and more abound here.
Apocalyptic-Yeah, the world has been destroyed. Someone screwed up big time, and now society has collapsed. Try to survive!
Steampunk-Automatons! Before humanity really ma#######obots, they used contraptions with many gears and pieces. Haven't actually seen one of these before, might be fun to make :)
Realistic-Real world, real rules, reality is here.
Dystopian-Cruel dictator(s) controlling everything! But there are plenty of rebels on the fringes of society :3

B-Time Period

Stone Age-Before real weapons and tools, basically the life of primitive humans.
Early Civilizations-Greece! Rome! Egypt! Mongolia! All of the original warring nations, packed together.
Medieval-Dark ages, castles, etc.
Historic-Basically more recent history (ex. WW2, Civil War, French Revolution). We could even do a Revolutionary War roleplay if people are into that sort of thing :3
Modern-Right here, right now.
Futuristic-Somewhere in the future!
Altered Reality-Basically alternate universes. Like, "What if the Allies lost WW2?" or "What if the world DID end in 2012?" etc.

2) How would you like your role play to be narrated?

A. Choose Your Own Adventure: We all work together to control one character. I give a description of what's going on, then present everyone with choices for our next action! The group votes, and the most popular is done.
B. Omnitagonist: We all work together to control one character. People add on paragraphs of what the character does+what happens.
C. Ochlocracy: Everyone has their own character, and we just let the story develop from there. I only occasionally step in to control the flow.
D. God Mode: Everyone creates their own character except for me. I take a large hand in what goes on, with the other role-players mainly making only crucial decisions.

Thanks in advance! :) I may add in more questions if I feel this survey doesn't give me a good enough view of what people want.

How about a futuristic distopian in ochlorachy or god mode. That might be fun.

The question is not why but why NOT-StingrayWWW

Hmm... this sounds like a good idea. I do enjoy techno plots...
Okay, so I want to bounce a few ideas off of you guys to see where we want to take this. Then I'll see about making a real storyline!

So, first of all...How many nations are there?
Like, do we have the main dictator nation and then a few smaller ones that fight against its tyrannical rule? Or do we just have this leader controlling everything and make a rebel movement that is fighting against the nation?

Also, how advanced are our robotics?
Do we have AI yet, or no? Are humans able to receive implants that make them stronger/wear super suits of robot armor?
This brings us to weaponry.
What are we fighting with? Guns? LASER guns? Swords? LASER swords? Something that doesn't feature the conjunction of the words LASER and a weapon? :3 But no seriously, what do people fight with? In Solarion Shinobi, a RP that I had that was fairly successful, we were able to explain guns out of the equation with science and use superheated swords (i.e. weak lightsabers).

Is there space travel?
If so, how good is it? Do we have this war against the dictatorship occurring in many different solar systems at once, just Earth and the surrounding planets, or grounded on Earth? Faster than light travel a thing? Are there ships that can fight with torpedoes, missiles, and lasers?

Just a few questions :3
If I can get these answers, then I should be able to start thinking up an ideal RP! :)

Oh, and I'm thinking Ochlocracy. With the aforementioned Solarion Shinobi, the main reason it crashed was because I was writing massive sects of text and getting back only 2 or 3 sentences. I didn't feel rewarded, my time was running short, and...
Yeah, RIP Solarion Shinobi.
On the other hand, seeing some Ochlocracy-style (by the way, Ochlocracy is the word for government by mob, hence why I chose it :3) would be quite fun. I'd like to see where the minds of Roblox take us! :D

Okay, well let me share with you guys an idea that I'm developing based on the questions above.
So we'd have some dictator nation with a ruling political party that has a cool name (The Iron Fist? Humanity's Hammer? Bloody Crown? Who knows :3). There are a few other places with other governments that are either basically satellites of the big one or desolate, useless areas.
Robotics? I like the idea of having cybernetic implants and stuff like that. Not sure how intelligent we want to make the 100% robots, but they should be there too. Maybe the dictator controls a ##### ## drones that can be used to capture/kill enemies? I'm thinking something like that. We definitely have some rebel organization on the fringes of society with lots of implants. I'm thinking more of a gang that fights back, and maybe our main characters come in to try and create a really strong resistance movement?
Now...weaponry. I'm interested in having swords and guns. Guns of course are laser guns (rifles, snipers, cannons, etc.) The swords are going to be superheated, like they were in Solarion Shinobi, because I want to create a pseudo-lightsaber that can be used to slice through doors/walls as well as cut. Plus, a flaming/glowing sword just is awesome in general. Swords that are able to channel electricity is also an option. In fact, imagine if they could have kinda-magic powers, like being able to channel energy+zap people, or create a shield of energy that incinerates laser projectiles? Of course, then we're getting into the realm of forum trolls who will be delighted to tear apart the world I try to create. But definitely some kind of hot/electrified swords. Maybe both!
Space travel. Ooh this one's hard. I definitely want some of it, because battles in space are AWESOME and can be used to move the plot along :3 However, if we establish a Star Wars-like scenario, then we get into boring stuff, and I don't want to be stuck trying to make us conquer everything. Maybe humanity has reached the ends of the solar system and is beginning to spread into other galaxies. Like 1 or 2 settlements around Alpha Centauri or something like that? Travel to nearby stars has become time-consuming, but not impossible.
So, these are my thoughts, what do you guys think? :3

Im thinking like star wars size ships, which are like kilometers long.
Fun fact: the average star wars star destroyer has 30,000 people in crew. In rouge one remember when the two destroyers collided in the end? thats like 60,000 people dead in a snap.

A Gang that fights back? Also, Super-Heated Swords are a pretty good idea.

Your latest post was hard to follow without line breaks.

Definitely interested in some sort of space theme. It's really been uncommon recently.

Sorry bout the post format. So yeah, I'm thinking some space-themed, dystopian dictatorship. I intend to make this a roleplay if you fine fellows are interested in joining :3

Oh and one final question: How do you guys think we get to this dictatorship? Like, natural disasters overturn the world government, or maybe war makes the people so weak that they accept someone not so nice as their leader?
Not sure. :3

In response to another post ##
###### IDK about a KILOMETER long, but I am interested in seeing some different kinds of ships. Maybe we have the rebels, with small, covert ships, then some of these other nations might have different designs. The dictator nation of course is going to have big, powerful ships and then interceptors that can catch up to the rebels and drag them back. As for weaponry, I'm thinking that the ships will have energy shields that can only absorb so much laser fire before the hull############fire-yeah I mean Star Wars-esque mechanics.

As for human weaponry/armor, I think that the rebels, once again, will have armor that's made to be lightweight and only #### # #### or two. Their primary weapons will be electrified/superheated swords, since guns make a lot of noise. However, they're gonna have some pistols for back-up, and maybe we'll have snipers with long-range laser guns for assassinations.

Now, there are going to be multiple nations so here's what I was thinking:


NATION 1: The dictator nation. Controls Earth and most of surrounding planets+moons. Those big, clunky ships, small interceptors. They have a lot of soldiers, but they aren't too skilled. Funding isn't all going toward the military, so you have a lot of outdated weaponry in use until you reach higher-ranked soldiers.

NATION 2: A smaller one. Controls Pluto and Neptune, I'm thinking. They are practically controlled by Nation 1 (they pay it tribute+follow many of their laws) but have a more free regime. Their army is small and consists of very well-trained soldiers, who often become elite soldiers in Nation 1's army as part of their tribute. They have done well under the protection of Nation 1, and their own military as a result uses incredibly high-tech weaponry. However, they do seek more freedom, and have been pushing back. They resent having to pay off Nation 1 every so often. Possible war?

NATION 3: The last remnants of democracy in this world. They were sent from Earth back when it was a free place to Alpha Centauri, and they have colonized the 2 planets of Alpha Centauri. Their weaponry is still kinetic (actual bullets), and they have very slow spaceships. Nation 1 generally turns them a blind eye, as they are incredibly behind everything, having spent many decades sitting on their ships to reach Alpha Centauri while some of the most important breakthroughs in science were made.

NATION 4: Dirt-poor miners. They live in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and also pay tribute. However, the spirit of rebellion has been beaten out of them. Generally considered lower-class peasantry not made to mix with anyone else. They are the main source of metal for Nations 1 and 2. No weaponry at all-after a rebellion attempt there nearly succeeded, Nation 1 cracked down and forced a new constitution upon them, outlawing weapons and greatly punishing any rebels.

The rebels are... (tell me which idea you guys like best)

1. Living in Nation 1. A gang. Rather disorganized, scruffy. They have a few core morals, but their main goal is to profit by robbing Nation 1. They dislike the dictatorship and certainly don't miss any opportunity to cause trouble for Nation 1, but they really just want cash. The protagonists are in charge of reorganizing them+making them ready to fight against Nation 1. Or maybe just robbing in an infinite cycle, we'll see :3

2. An organization. They are well-organized and live in the furthest asteroid belt, beyond Pluto. They remain hidden. Here they mine resources and have small settlements within the rocks. Factories that produce technology to fight against Nation 1 are here. The protagonists must move up in the ranks and take down Nation 1!

3. Living in Nation 2. They are a political party with a subversive branch dedicated to causing Nation 1 trouble! They assassinate officials, intercept shipments, and more. The protagonists must take over Nation 2 and use it as a base to attack Nation 1!

4. Living in Nation 3. They have a deal with the leaders-new technology in exchange for a place there. They are attempting to turn Nation 3 into a modern civilization so they can use it to take down Nation 1. The protagonists must complete this process and defeat Nation 1!

5. Living in Nation 4. They are able to leech resources from the mines. They attempt to convince the populace that it's time to strike back against their oppressors. The protagonists must use Nation 4 as a base to take over Nation 1!

##### I like ideas 1, 2 and 3 best. :3

Tell me what you guys think! :D

*sigh* Roblox you are KILLING me with the censoring!
I don't know about a kilometer long.
The energy shields can only take so much fire before the ship itself is exposed.
The rebel armor is lightweight and doesn't absorb much damage.
I like ideas 1, 2, and 3 best. I know, I know I can preview it, but I'm too lazy xD

I like the different nation ideas. Perhaps a lot of factors drove humanity away from earth, such as A resource becoming incredibly scarce, the world being at a boiling point, and some sort of natural disaster about to happen (Such as Yellowstone erupting.)

Yeah. So maybe global warming causes a disorganized rush for space shuttles. During this time, a dictator political party is able to take control. They set about taking control of everything. :3

There we go! Perhaps this dictator puts people who voice their distaste and political enemies into some sort of prison and some escaped, leading to the creation of some sort of gang/rebellion.

Oh yes lol xD I'd forgotten in the whole Arena of Honor hubbub. So, here's what I was thinking:

We have Earth as it is right now. The most exciting thing that happens is that a colony ship gets sent off to Alpha Centauri (Nation 3, with the name of... The Old Republic). Then, global warming becomes a threat. All of the nations band together to create the Earth Collective. They decide to elect one leader, and they are...ehm... Arera Soronara, an "impartial judge" who is a very popular political leader in America. She's (I think that a female dictator would be cool :P) had a good amount of political experience, but the main selling point is that she isn't biased toward any one country, having achieved office in multiple places. So they make her the leader, but to keep her honest she has a team of advisors who are prominent figures from other countries. They have the ability to veto her actions, but she bribes them and eventually has control of everything. From there, Soronara begins evacuation of Earth, putting a huge ban on the use of fossil fuels, and begins working to make Earth habitable again. She sets up a secret police that is obedient to her, then declares herself dictator. Any protesters are taken away in the middle of the night to her maximum security prison on the moon-Manigar. She colonizes space, but her ruthless methods end up killing millions of innocents. Soronara's paranoia goes into everything, and she keeps herself safe in all sorts of ways, surviving many assasination attempts. At one point, her colonies in the asteroid belt-a group of miners-rebel, but she squashes the rebellion by forcing "The Protectorate Constitution" upon them, which allows them to become their own nation, but they must pay a large tribute each month to Nation 1, which is called... the Ironsteel Union. The constitution also makes a series of unfair anti-rebellion laws that require public executions/burnings, torture of any rebel leaders, and more. They are permanently marked by their nationality as below even contempt. This becomes Nation 4, or "Susmulkinto," a word from an old Earth language meaning "crushed." Meanwhile, the Ironsteel Union sends a spaceship to Neptune, but it ends up crashing, killing all secret police on board. It is believed that all passengers perished, except a year later a transmission is recieved-a few of the colonists survived and managed to create a colony using even the damaged tools left to them. They become Nation 2, or Mekka, a world devoted to high technology and its power. They too pay a tribute, but they regret having ever announced their existence. The Ironsteel Union puts limits on what they can create, which disgusts them. They want freedom!
So this is the basic story. What do you think?

Alright, so before I write it up+post it, I want to know who will be playing.
So does anyone here know that they definitely will be playing?
