Cantr II Discussion Forum

Just seeing if anyone'd like to play this RP. Post once a week and see how she pans out.

In the early 19th century the only thing that stopped Napoleon invading England was the Royal Navy. Rather than large fleets, there were important battles between small squadrons and even just two ships.

Two teams, with one ship each... Each a 20 gun sloop...

Obviously one sloop is of the Royal Navy, the other is of the French Imperial Navy...

Royal Navy:
Captain: Cantr Freak -Dead-
First Officer: Joo
Midshipman: Trexdino -Dead-
Marine Leiutenant: Crosshair -Dead-
Royal Marine(x2):
Seamen(x3):

French Imperial Navy:
Captain: Pie -Dead-
First Officer: Dogonabun
Midshipman: Toon
Commandant des Marines: Tangential -Dead-
Marine de l'Empreur(x2):
Seamen(x3):

As well as this there are many sailors who have no other role apart from dying, grumbling and serving the guns.

Orders to the Royal Navy Captain of the Sloop-of-war Sparrow:
Sink, destroy or take as a prize the enemy sloop Loire, intent on bringing war to British waters.

Each week I roll 1D6 for each player. if they are rolled a 1 they are killed IC.

I could try.

PM me with what role you wish to play.

Alright, I might try playing this - but why do we have to PM the roles, won't they be revealed anyway?

Well you don't need to, i just find it's easier. What do you want to be, Joo?

I will be a Royal First Officer.

What's the goal of the game? How do we sink the other ship? Or do we just RP a never-ending battle?

Presumably we will RP that each side is shooting the other, and anybody could die at any moment. The game will end when one side is dead, so the goal really is to RP.

Well the two ships dont start next to each other.

I am willing to try this seems very interesting but I have one question. What do the roles do? I think Captin is obvious but mid ship man?

WHOO! I'm in. I call captain for frenchies.

I read a book with ship battles in it so,

I think midshipman is the person in the middle of the ship controlling the cannon fireing stuffs.

Okay I am joining before they take the last officer position I call dibs on mid-shipman for english.

If anybodies read the Cry of Icemark/Blade of Fire books I'm gonna be like that ol' Scipio Bellorum.

I am confused.

Dont worry. You are not the only one.
