Wider RP Ideas

I've had an idea for the guild to use in roleplaying that I wanted to share and see what you guys thought.

How about we give the guild a sort of PA/Receptionist NPC to interact with? I know it sounds a bit silly but I think someone on the end of a comlink would be fun to chat to IC. A flirty office chick or a tetchy AI or something would be cool! They could be located centrally and keep tabs on records/locations/resources etc. and be used thusly:

"[Name] I lost contact with Tando. See if you can give me his location and try to patch me through." Or perhaps "Hey gorgeous, I'm trying to get some info on DataCorp and someone mentioned a guy called Sten Blahdyblah. Apparently he worked on the [whatever]. Send me everything we have on file and anything else you can get your hands on and I'll make sure daddy has a present for you when he gets home. Thanks, babe."

See? Useful and fun!

haha sound great mate, maybe it could be a droid like in Star Wars the force unleashed? can't think of his name. But would one person rp it or would it be everyone?

Agreed! that does sound fun.... and it reminds me of that site that was mentioned on here a while back .... the one that's name escapes me but has the droid answer your enquiries (often in a rude and abrasive way!) when you leave a question.

Nice idea Red

Hahaha! That would be amusing. Imagine having this little lady handle our calls:

This idea is extremely similar if not identical to the Mantell Syndicate. I believe that we'll be classed as rip-offs if we go along with this, but otherwise, I'm all for it. Could we have a Mass Effect wheel? It keeps things clean, ordered and it isn't similar to the Mantell one. We can always add more selections later, I think it'll be fun!

Well putting aside the argument that the Mantell Syndicate invented receptionists, we all seem to like the idea of including one in our RPs. What form does everyone think he/she/it should take? Should we put up a poll: "Flesh & blood" vs "AI/droid"?

I'm all for "Flesh and Blood" and will vote as such in any poll ^^

I think the receptionist idea is a great one and gets a big thumbs up from JJ. Well as long as it's female, humaniod and attractive to the male human eye. Flesh and blood would be better, but some ex-entertainment cyborg type model wouldn't be refused.
