This may not be even possible or it might be, but i thought i'll throw this out there anyways.

Has anyone tryed making a list of the current most threatening crews? not just talking about pirates i mean crews in general, like they do in the bounty list, you list the name of the crews, for example you can make it out of ten, and reasons of why they are in the top ten most threatening.

Threatening is probley not the right word to use either, becouse the reasons why they are number one dose'nt even have to be for bad reasons, i mean, like if you was a marin crew, you could be number one for the acts of good you have done and how many criminals you have put away and so on.

Anyways, if the idea has''nt been said befor, which i think it has, it may be something to work on in the fruter? what do you guys think?

I take it you mean crews that are most famous/infamous. An interesting idea which would give newcomers and veterans alike a good idea of the state of the world, especially if these reputed crews have been involved in world events. I mean, Umbert has no idea about the rest of the world at the moment; with so many SLs going on simultaneously, you'd expect somebody to hear of at least some of them.

However, it could also cause an unfriendly competition between the reputed crews as to who can outdo the others in "badassery" and ego-tripping. And there's enough inflated egos around here already.

I did this once. It was a lot of work and full of opinion. I gave up shortly afterwards.

You'll generally know of who's the most threatening because they'll get talked about a lot more than the others.

Famous/inamours is what i ment, sorry i am not the best at explaining things, anyways, you pretty much it the nail on the head to be honest, and yeah, that would be my conserns as well becouse i would only make it for infomation purposes, not to inflate ones ego, but making something like this i guess it can't be avoided.

Well, you could to a highest total bounty/threat list, which wouldn't be too hard. Also, competition could be a good thing. I mean, Luffy is kinda competing with the other supernovas, isn't he? Could be fun, for those interested.

Like dark said, we tried this before, but it's a lot of work (like an OPRP newspaper...) If your going for highest collective bounty, you might as well look at the highest bounty characters and check out what crews they are in.

If you really want to know top crews, like dark said, then just chill in the cbox. Odds are if you hear them a lot or staff keeps talking about them, then it's not unreasonable for your character to know of them either.

Only OOCly. In-characters, crews generally don't hear or speak of other crews as they usually have enough on their plate already, so members don't spend time reflecting on world events. Giving a general overview via a "most famous" list would give us more of a feeling of being in a living, breathing RP world.

:| Umbert I don't have words to express how dumb that is.
How would reading it from a list be more ic than hearing about it from word of mouth? I have most of my characters read newspapers and shit so that they know whats going on.

Ooh, OPRP newspaper. Sounds like it could be fun. I say do it. Once a month. It could cover the latest events (completed SLs) with a super short summary and any new bounties/promotions that arise.

weeeeeeeeeeeeee~

It was only a suggestion, but i guess if it won't work, it wont work, still think it is a cool idea, but i understand why it would be hard to do. =)

Maybe we should have a disclaimer in the "Welcome to OPRP" topic that says "no site newspaper"

For those confused, pretty much every six months or so, someone tries to start a site newspaper and it never works out. And if you're thinking "Well I'll be different," trust me, it won't.

With crews go inactive, reform and change, rookie crews aren't going to see the top of that list anyway and it's the same people that make up the top bounty/threat/SD lists that will be dominating that list if not simply being the whole list.

I'll always support the idea of an ooc newspaper but in the 6 or 7 attempts that I was here for, it never lasted longer than a single edition if it even got to it.

I'd say check some of the sl's on the board, some of the sl's that have been graded, get into the community more if you want to find something out about it. But ICly speaking newspapers, bounty posters and such are a good way for general folk to know about people, marines (as a player faction and as npc's) are obviously a bit more aware about who's the most notorious on the seas.
