Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: AvestheForumFox on August 14, 2010, 11:20:40 PM
for those of you who do not know, I was the true creator of the legendary Insane Cafe series.. I started the original as a means of goofing off and stuff like that. I never imagined that it would gain so much popularity in these forums and I never imagined that it would go so far.

I've been absent from the series for some time but Nick has taken it to such extream heights...

He and I have been talking about plans for the next and possibly last of the series... Yes, I am coming back for it.. and I have big plans for the next chapter.

for now.. let us talk about the current going-ons of the current chapter.. use this discussion to bring me up to date on all that has happened and what is happening now.

I'll check back as often as time allows it. ;)

Start now!

I don't see a reason that it needs to end, unless you have ideas for a sequel series.  I have quite  few ideas myself.   Maybe you'll have time to rp again soon.

As long as we continue to have interest We'll keep going. It's been a lot of fun... :)  :) besides, you never know who might pop in next or what crazy mission Stripetail may have for Scooby Dixie and thier friends...

So is the next RP lighter like the Insane Cafe 2 or is it a dark war story like 3?
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on September 14, 2010, 11:25:18 PM
It will be lighter for the most part, although there will be moments like in part 3...

I am considering some chasnges to the team.. and finalizing what the plot will be hopefully this can get underway early next year..

Sounds ok.  Hope it goes well for you as far as getting the idea together.  My char ideas may be to weird, or powerful.  Though I won't be doing them all in the next one.

What will be the team changes.

I know that several of my characters will not reappear.

Also can we add in a Generation I PokÈmon arc? With a deadly, scaled up Team Rocket?

I will probably play Palkia from my PokÈmon crackfic then.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 20, 2010, 12:16:20 AM
there will be 2 new members, composing second, lower level of the team..also a bounty will be placed on Chons head, dead or alive.. as you will soon see.. an sure we can add in Pokemon.. they can appear on a Pokemon Planet we'll land on as the strory unfolds. but most of the story will take place in space..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 20, 2010, 12:19:22 AM
On a space station?

I have some ideas of which of my chars I may use in the next insane cafe.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 20, 2010, 12:41:21 AM
yes kor thre will be spaceships and space travel and lots of fun stuff..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 20, 2010, 01:32:26 AM
I guess Jason's tardis will fit then since it can travel in space and such.  Tardises also can float on water since the 2nd doctor's tardis landed on water once.  Though most of that story is lost I think.

Post by: Serris on November 22, 2010, 12:10:12 AM
Can we make the starship basically a small space-going town?

And what will be its name?
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 22, 2010, 12:17:27 AM
sure
as for the ships name its will be the Starship Phoenix at least that is the one Stripetail and others will be using. the sppaceship Nick Aves and Chong will be on will be named something elkse
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Serris on November 22, 2010, 12:27:54 AM
So who is on what starship?

And how will the characters get on it?
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 22, 2010, 12:33:40 AM
the starship has a small crew and   will land outside the house where Scooby Dixie and the others are having a party.. its name is a reference to a ship used as a hub world in the Ratchet game Up your Arsenal. in the ratchet universe ships can land pretty much anywhere, and the ship is large enough to hold a small town in it..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 22, 2010, 01:17:38 PM
Are they going to be kidnapped or invited onto the ship, or are you still thinking over that part?

I guess it won't be a huge ship the size of the babylon 5 station.  I think in one of the intros they mention it as being 5 miles long.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 22, 2010, 01:46:58 PM
it won't be that big, although some of the ships they will encounter in the story will be huge.. they will go on the ship freely as the  crew on board has not been paid in a long time and will offer to scport them around the galaxy on a sort of sight-seeing tour...
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Serris on November 22, 2010, 08:22:19 PM
That will be cool!

One question, how will Chong get on board the other starship?
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 22, 2010, 08:31:15 PM
good question.. that will be explained as the story unfolds..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 23, 2010, 12:01:22 AM
sounds good so far.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Drake on November 24, 2010, 01:53:53 PM
So do you have an idea for what the ship Chong on is doing? Is it a science vessel or perhaps a cruise ship? Either option provides an explanation for it stopping at suitable planets.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 28, 2010, 11:01:25 PM
the ship he is on is a resteraunt ship. hit stops at planets to picjk up up guests and new staff..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 29, 2010, 12:34:18 AM
& chong will be on another ship then the one that Scooby and the group goes onto?
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 12:36:43 AM
Correct. the one chong will take over will be run by Nick and aves and the plot will involve spaceship battles, warp jumps to weird places, and an assortment of weird and classic characters. and yes chong will have several bounties on his head so theres that subplot of various characters trying to catch and /or kill him for the money..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 29, 2010, 02:34:24 AM
I guess Nick and Aves will have to escape then to another ship.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 11:45:01 AM
they will be trying to stay alive the whole story, as Chong forces them to do anything he asks, or he kills them..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Serris on November 29, 2010, 06:58:26 PM
What about the rest of the characters? Is their ship a cruise ship, science vessel, military vessel or "colony ship"?

And I assume Nick loses his weapon?
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 09:22:21 PM
its a starship, it has military capabilities and also has personal apartmentsb for the residents.. things will be more explained once the story starts, as for Nick, yes he will lose his weapons after Chong takes over the ship..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 29, 2010, 09:38:17 PM
And has to go into hiding, try to escape or both.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 09:41:01 PM
Hiding not an option, trying to escape is the whole point of the subplot..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Serris on November 29, 2010, 10:59:40 PM
I assume Nick and the starship's crew will try to fight back as best as they could?

Okay got it.

On that note, can I name the starship that the rest of the group is on? I plan to call it Spire of Winter with "Ice" as the AI system.

I thought that the Phoenix is the ship that Nick and Aves are on.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on November 29, 2010, 11:11:19 PM
Sounds like some good ship names to me.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 11:13:20 PM
No the Phoenix is the ship the others are on.  But I guess we can Rename it to Spire of winter
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Serris on November 29, 2010, 11:38:20 PM
Cool.

Thanks for taking my suggestions into account.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 11:40:21 PM
no problem. now we just need a name for the Ship that  will house Nick and Aves Resteraunt..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 29, 2010, 11:49:23 PM
Another possibility is keeping the name of the ship  Stripetail and the oythers will be on the Phoenix and naming the ship Aves , nick and chong will be on Spire of winter. thats a possibility, but i think renaming the ship will be the more popular option..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Serris on November 30, 2010, 03:20:55 PM
Can I have one of my characters on the same starship as Nick and Aves and get captured as well?

It will be Dr. Kerzach as he only has a switchblade. And he is a good cook as well.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on November 30, 2010, 03:51:48 PM
Sure Serris, thats a great idea. will give Kerzach some glory..

How about Insane Cafe 4: Journey to the Insane Frontier

Or Insane Cafe 4: The Final Frontier

Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe

final frontier is too cliche
 i like the Insane frontier idea much better.. i'm hoping to start the story before march..

Any new ideas on your end Aves. We could just start part 4 now and slowly wrap up 3.. if think thart would work.. or do we need down time in between you think?

So the third one is pretty much done? oh well, I didn't really know what was going on anyway :b.

I'd like the join the 4th one from the beginning when it starts.

Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: Nick22 on March 15, 2011, 10:49:31 PM
You just joined vonboy, and i can tell you the plot in the third rps discussion thread. the 3rd rp is relatively close to ending.. but is not ended yet.. best to get your character involved a little bit, then expad upon it in part 4..
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe
Post by: vonboy on March 15, 2011, 10:50:08 PM
Well, I still don't really know what the insane cafe is, is it supposed to be some kind of wierd and twisted gameshow rp?

I like the idea of going to a Pokemon planet. Maybe we could goto the doop headquarters (from futurama) for some kind of competition as well.
Title: Discuss: The Future of The Insane Cafe

yes, and you helped make it so.. the next one, will involve space fights, and other epic stuff.Chong wil festure in it.. hes like bowser dr Eggman or Andross, they keep coming back no matter how many times you beat them. He won;t be quite as powerful this time, thanks to stripetail taking some of his powers away,but he's dtill going to be a major pain in the butt..
