OOC: Carmageddon, Death and Glory

[BadForm]

Just an idea bobbing around in my head at the moment, but I wanted to dip my toe in the water and check what interest level there was. I think the dark background of the Carmageddon racing series would be an interesting idea for a literotica thread. Firstly, because everyone knows theres a big pain/death/sex fantasy interweaving with many threads already, secondly because there's a great chance of a storyline, and thirdly because I've got a sick mind...

It could work one of two ways. We could follow the interplay, sexual and otherwise, between racers in races and in between. Or we could set up an actual plotline that stops them being just racers and forces them to work together - perhaps to bring down the next corrupt government to abandon the city to pollution and disease. In cars and outside, the characters of Carmageddon deserve exploration AS characters.

So whaddaya think? Oh and as I'm sure not everyone has played the whole series, I only came in with no. 2 for instance, we could allow people to create their OWN racers and insist everyone details their racers even if from the game.

Thoughts?

Is this similiar to Car Wars where the vehicles have and are weapons and used to destroy other cars and whatever gets in the way of doing that or are then the race cars of today?

I can see a lot of potential for rp'ing it either way and of course the corrupt gov't would do all it could to uncover and eliminate the 'rebel faction' so it could remain in power, Riiiiight? *chuckling*

Generally the cars wound up being ANYTHING available today-ish, tailored to be better racers and killing machines. heh, one of them was a world war two fighter that was unable to fly, but toughened up. Then there was Ada Nuff the psychotic forklift driver, Buzz Lightweight in some lightweight buggy, a drag racer with a spike on the front, etc, etc. Now, certain things might work better from car wars than the carmageddon games, which, being computer games, included pickups of special weapons (opponent repulsion, oil slicks from your arse, pedestrian electro-bastard ray etc). So perhaps rather than carmageddon particularly, it would work better just to open it to Death-car racers.

The version I played was table top and dice not a video or comp game and we included plot line so it was really a bastardized game of role playing minitures. *L

I had one car that had twin vulcans front mounted on the fenders and fired as I wished and a mid mounted recoiless rifle amidships with a bumper trigger. Also had armor and an oil slick dispenser and mine dropper in the rear.

The 'racing' was done on sanctioned Car Wars tracks and sometimes on the road, with the police trying to 'apprehend' the outlaw racers.

Is that what you had in mind?

 

[BadForm]

well, there weren't sactioned tracks as such in Carmageddon - it was completely illegal and raced around the streets: objective = win race, destroy opposition, kill every pedestrian in the area.

 

[PhoenixPrime]

Okay I'm up for it. How do you wanna start... Hmmm, pedestrians huh? Rather like that horrid David Carridine movie Death Race 2000 where points were awarded for pedestrian kills and fans would throw themselves in front of their favorite racer's car to help them win. *L

 

[BadForm]

Heh - at least with Carma 3 the peds ATTEMPTED (failed, admittedly) to fight back with molotov cocktails etc. Don't think we can start tho unless we get other interested players.

 

[PhoenixPrime]

Okay folks we need some 'rebel' race drivers, some regular race drivers, some cops, some fans, some groupies, annnd some corrupt and ineffective city officials... probably preverts or sex maniacs wouldn't you think? *L

Sign up so we can "Start Our Engines". Remember the motto... "It's not how you run the race, it's who wins that counts."
