Might I suggest that in the interest of a Main RP, the concept be left rather broad or open and the plot not too linear as to allow for other RP's that are created on the side to be unique on their own account, yet still tie in (albeit, loosely) with the Main RP.
I feel setting it in the future where Industrials live alongside the Natives could be limiting. Certainly some societies would need to be composed of mixed species and cultures, but the general Industrials vs. Natives scenario and inner felt hatred for one another really fuels Oddworld RPs - if done correctly, that is.
Oddworld Inhabitants have created a world and society that's near perfection as it is. Why need we alter such beautifully established relations between species? The thought is there, but keeping things simple and in context seems to be the better choice to me. Particularly if when the quintology is later progressed we find this 'future' to be completely unrealistic or with gaping plot holes and continuity flaws...
My vision for a 'Main RP', as such, would not be a singular thread such as, say, W@RF, but a broad theme, time period and set of locations / key events for us to take into account before structuring our own RPs around the Main RP. Every now and then a new 'official' RP would be made that furthers along the overall plot and storyline of the Main RP etc.
Just a few thoughts and suggestions.
