Re: The Second Roleplay Universe

[Joe Joerson]

I'm not sure on if we should or shouldn't, since I think it'd depend on the empires. There might not be many private actors and informal interactions if every nation is fascist, communist, or theocratic.

However, if there is a split, then I suggest that Diplomacy be renamed "Formal Diplomacy" to cover formal meetings and agreements, while "Informal Exchanges" or something similar be used for private actors, colonist interaction, and other stuff like that.

I have changed it to two separate areas that will be combined into one if the "Informal Exchanges" is not used or is redundant. The new sub-forum is almost ready, needs a few final touches based on some of the specifics that are pulled from the Rules post.

On a similar but different topic, is there anything that Aftermath roleplay lacked that I can add. organization wise, to the new Roleplay?

[Caspoi]

Probably a greater allowance for interaction within the empire, there was the "development and expansion" but it does not really suit for when I plan to start my species of in the midst of a civil war.

Maybe adding a "storytelling" to the "development and expansion" so as to just broaden the category, all deal mostly with players making pieces that inform without directly interacting with others. Or perhaps a new category? A new category seems better...

In Aftermath Roleplay I know Mthis did a internal Broadcasts in the diplomacy section that dealt with how things were going within his Empire. Often having a short OOC narration followed by Incharacter News Broadcasts. If your race is the bugs you mentioned earlier then perhaps more narration? Or perhaps keeping with the News Broadcasts?

[Caspoi]

Well a news broadcast certainly wouldn't fit them so it would be good to see a category for the internal politics.

[Joe Joerson]

Added a new section:

Internal Affairs
From civil war to news broadcasts and public opinions, including politics and other internal happenings. This section covers it all.

Covers what you wanted and thought would be useful, yes?

[Caspoi]

Seems good, yes.

[Joe Joerson]

On a side note, is species you are starting with your previously mentioned Hive species?

If so it is nice to know they may not be a monolithic horde.

[Caspoi]

It is, my plan is that the species has already spread to Three different star systems and set up hives there through pre-warp spacecrafts and now that they have discovered warp travel they have launched an unification war to unite all of them under one single swarm.

[Joe Joerson]

Certainly sounds like that is going to be interesting, especially with any long term consequences that may come from a fairly recent unification, and an unification that has been isolated from each other at that...

In any case my 'dominant' species may or may not be imperialists bent on galactic domination...

...they might simply decide to try to kill the rest of the galaxy instead.

[Joe Joerson]

In addition I am going little crazy over not doing anything...

...going to go back to making flags for sub-factions...

Good news is that Theclans is making good progress and seems to just be revising/finalizing things from what I could tell. It seems like it's good enough to post from what I saw, which is why I assume it's in the revision stage. Or he might be done with the system/app/etc entirely and is just finishing putting in his own nation as an example of the format. Shhh, it's okay Joe. It's okay. It'll all be over soon. Shhhshshshshshhh.

[Joe Joerson]

New Forum is up.

Please check the rules and information and make whatever edits or creations necessary.

[The Clans]

Oh my god. I am the biggest trash person. I am so sorry that I missed all of this.

[Vagrant Hero]

I'm glad to see this site is still alive. Will attempt to reintegrate with galactic society.

[Caspoi]

Will you create a new species or keep with the old one?

[Zuko Darkborn]

Welcome back, Vagrant Hero.

[The Clans]

Yo! Welcome back!

[Vagrant Hero]

I am going to keep the old species, I think. They will fit this setting well enough, judging from the rules Theclans posted. How has the new RP been going?

[Caspoi]

Well, although it was started recently, we are just having our first Contact in the case of most of our species.

[Vagrant Hero]

I shall continue my exploration, see what's happening around the galaxy. Should be ready to join in a few days.

I know that feeling. I wrote the rules, yet I was the last to actually put my empire up.
