RP Events sorely needed, Sample inside of SWG style small rp

I've noted a very lackluster list of events for any role play types, well this is not the case as I would consider most events in SL besides classes role play or in character style events anyway for most. But a lack of theme bases rp events in general which is what many come to net based worlds seeking escape from real world phenom to take part in something extraordinary, I.E. not a club dance or class or casino style game or other card or whatever have you game. What I'm reffering to is a total immersion into the character of the avatar in regards to the enviornment. Anyway I've seen 1 event actually listed and it was very proffesional and well done without script but alas it was Star Trek related, Damn Trekkers offcourse they are gonna utilize a tool Like SL for awsome RPG. But for us lovers of Lucas's universe I.E. Star Wars there are many options.

My aim is to make people aware in this post of those options to an extent.
That enviornments exist for this whether posted as an event or not. Mostly found through the search and find feature and relative sim names or area names. Nows 9/10 times the search features will bring up shopping malls but if you are lucky enough to find a dedicated rp area for your favorite style wheather it be Trek/Star Wars/Furry Nuclear Holocuast survivors or whatever it's out there.
Often these sims get very little support becuase it's word of mouth and only those whom delve deep into a search will ever find them. But if you know where to look that is the frist step.

I propose courses for overall basic RP and SIM style RP with or without weapon systems for all sims who want to host events related in rp, I propose also very basic classes for peoople who have interest in general RP but have no idea what it pertains to. Such topics could be the difference between your OOC=out of character and IC=In Character self, Avatars and what the look and function of scripted events or weapons bring to the table pertaining to what form of RP it is. Simulation versus RP and combat versus strictly roleplay. A gamemastered event versus a freestyle enviornment where anythign goes.

I'll put a sample of a recent encounter I had while visiting the Dantooine (Star Wars themed) Simulator, with an intent to act as though I was a clone trooper of the republic circa lets say between episode 3 and 4... Keep in mind timelines can make a huge difference if RP'ing, and there was some confusion as to where and what was going on. Dantooine isn't at a set timeline in the Star Wars universe, but from what I've seen most are Sith, Dark Jedi types in this sim at this time and not involved with the empire or republic or rebellion for that matter. Somewhat living in the past but boring for them if not for having no actual Jedi Sim to counter them with RP and battles...

Anyway here is a chat snippet

A sample of Star Wars Extended Galaxy in Second Life RP, A breif non-scripted or planned sample mind you, RP in true form.

[2:51] You: So I'm on a routine check
[2:51] Drachma Malthus: for the Galactic clone army?
[2:51] You: This planet seems ordinary and without technology that we are looking for
[2:51] Drachma Malthus nods
[2:52] You: Well we aren't divulging that at this time
[2:52] You: after certain orders

[2:54] Drachma Malthus nods and chuckles
[2:54] You: Perhaps I could ask you
[2:54] Drachma Malthus: hmmm?

[2:55] Drachma Malthus: hmmm I see
[2:55] You: But I can tell you that we have had "issues"
[2:55] Selene Beeks Raises a brow, peering to Bellator. "Humph.. I don't like it much when people hold information from me."
[2:55] You: according to our higher ups
[2:56] Drachma Malthus smiles, "nor I Sikozy
[2:56] Drachma Malthus: hmmm I see
[2:56] You: Noting any ordinary citizen need to worry about

[2:57] You: Non military personal
[2:57] You: ordinary
[2:57] Drachma Malthus: hmmmm.....
[2:57] Selene Beeks Snarls, drawing her sword. "I'll have you know that I am a Dark Mistress of the Sith, Clone. And i've no quarrel with striking the likes of you down!"
[2:57] You: sorry please wait
[2:58] Drachma Malthus: I would beware the words close to attacking dantooine
[2:58] You: relaying sith information to home base
[2:58] Selene Beeks: He
[2:58] Selene Beeks: He's reporting on us, Bellator?
[2:58] You: We have no such records
[2:58] Drachma Malthus: hmmm....
[2:58] Drachma Malthus growls
[2:58] You: Is it possible the senators of this planet would know of this sith?
[2:59] Selene Beeks Lets out a bestial growl.
[2:59] Drachma Malthus grins
[2:59] Selene Beeks: Be gone, Clone! I shall let you live this day, but we do not take kindly to your kind snooping and reporting in on our business here!
[3:00] Drachma Malthus: There is something that you must learn of sith....they do not like their identities known *chuckles
[3:00] Selene Beeks Growls out at the wounded Clone, fading from sight.

Clone trooper is stuck down by katana? at this point wearing a DCS/role playing compat system attachment, not the rp saying wounded not dead clone... Very important
in this situation.

[3:00] Drachma Malthus: ((perhaps check the Corrusant sim? hehe think you would be right at home there)) <--- This is ((.......)) to denote out of character banter/chat
[3:00] You: :mall murmer within the armor plating reveals medical emergency::
[3:01] You: :::Bacta begins to inject itself through the plasteel plating::
[3:01] Drachma Malthus chuckles
[3:01] Drachma Malthus: many surprises hmm
[3:02] You: What happened
[3:02] You: I need to go
[3:02] Drachma Malthus: Sith do not like to be reported on by any
[3:02] Drachma Malthus: yes I think you do
[3:04] You: I may have been cuaght in a time warp between coruscant and dantooine
[3:04] You: my chonometeres are all jammed
[3:04] Drachma Malthus raises an eyebrow
[3:05] You: I did run a survey of sith and could only find two known
[3:05] Drachma Malthus: oh?
[3:05] You: a darth sidius and a darth maul
[3:05] Drachma Malthus: hmmm.... *nods* return to corrusant... *chuckles* your home still exists

[3:06] You: to report my findings
[3:06] Drachma Malthus waves his hand, "you have seen nothing
[3:06] You: this planet seems void of technology but brims with a technology and force I have not encountered
[3:07] You: safe travels
[3:07] Drachma Malthus nods

The end

I'm interested in what people think of roleplay in SL and the considerations they have when engaged in it.

Any role play really needs a plot master or what have you to keep the back text rolling, as well as (usually) a lot of builders, scripters, and artists to supply the stuff that brings role play alive. There is not a lot of reward for this sort of thing in Second Life, but it would be fun to see something long-lasting take shape.

I am in a SW RP Group, It makes SL more fun.
