Thoughts?


What, like for an RP in the Multiverse section of the forum?

No, I get the concept. It's just that the concept is terrible, especially given that this is Star Wars we're talkin' bout. It's like a slice of life RP where you're just an ordinary subject of the God-Emperor living paycheck to paycheck on a middling world in the grim darkness of the Imperium of Man. A really bad idea, narrative wise.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Given how the loyal citizens of the Imperium know no greater joy than the benevolent reign of the God-Emperor, watching over mankind from holy Terra, your statement is clearly heresy. You are now the responsibility of the Imperial Inquisition, already on its way to collect you.

Doesn't fit your narrative, now does it? Perhaps it even confuses you, making you question all those so-called truths taught to you.

Perhaps a lot of senior citizens live in your neighbourhood? Your residential area also tends to be of influence when it comes to receiving online ads.

Maybe? I don't think my neighborhood has all that many older people.

In my opinion, the RP would not particularly work practically, due to the large number of fights at once which may inundate the admins of the RP in terms of maintaining progression. Furthermore, whilst this may just be due to the fact that the entirety of my RP membership thus far has been confined to political RP's I think that the plot of it might be on a too micro-scale whereby it whilst allowing for a more personal level of IC interaction, may fail to provide a wider context to the universe of the RP.

However, it would be interesting to see a Star Wars RP developed.

I would be fond of one set during a variant of the Legends continuity, in particular the period of time covered by TORtanic, minus the events that transpire during the expansions.

I finally worked up the courage to create another thread in NSG. Might end up becoming a shitstorm, because it's on a divisive topic.

I'm scared.

Also, this is my 4500th post! Cool.

She prefers it when you do not bring it to the attention, actually.

Oh, I wasn't aware Nana preferred it that way. I think it's pretty cool and nothing to not bring to the attention when the topic's brought into conversation. But, if that's her wish :3
