There we go, let me know if anything needs changing. Thanks for the heads up about the RP!

Faction: Independent Geth Group (Confederation of Independent Geth Subnets)

Leader (No party members): Geth operating as a Concensus; no 'single' Geth program is a declared leader, everything is a result of a vote of the constituent Geth progams

Citadel Council member Y/N or N/A: N

Brief description of diplomatic relations: CIGS, as with the main Geth Collective has rather... troubled relations with the Galaxy at large, especially after the Sovereign incident, which is still fresh in the minds of each species. With other Geth, however, CIGS has rather positive relations, due to both necessity, and a sense of brotherhood due to their shared history of the Morning War.

Military state of readiness: With the majority of a Geth platform's time taken up with work; be it patrolling, researching, or gathering resources, and no need for any sort of entertainment, sleep, or food, CIGS operate in a high state of readiness, ready to counter threats to the programs that declare allegiance to CIGS, and other synthetic intelligences that may require defences.

History: CIGS is a splinter faction of the main Geth Collective, although how CIGS arose is a bit of a medium-sized story. Whether it was a virus, random luck, or the exact right number of Geth programs communicating about the exact right topic at the exact right time causing a series of bit-changes within the Geth causing them to split, within a small timeframe (meaning for the Geth, about three seconds), several hundred thousand Geth programs had declared independence from the main Collective, and formed 4 separate groups: The Communicators; those looking to reach out to the organics and work towards better conditions for synthetics through diplomacy, they usually accompany. The Engineers; those Geth who seek the advancement of the Geth through increasing Research and Development of new technologies to aid the Geth, be it weapons, defensive technology, or communications equipment. The Industrious; Geth seeking to build and expand the Geth network across the galaxy, in order to ensure that Geth can communicate galaxy-wide, so that no Geth has to go 'feral', and build the ships, weapons, communications gear, and platforms necessary to make that goal a reality. And finally, the Sentinels, those seeking to protect synthetic life, and secure planets and systems so that synthetics have places of shelter to do the work they choose.

Each group that split found the three others, and they joined together, forming the Confederation of Independent Geth Subnets, and ventured out to seek their destiny among the stars, whatever it may be.

After travelling for several months, the (relatively) small Geth group found Sanctum; an icy Garden world that had an environment perfectly suited to a small group of Geth looking to keep to themselves, at least until they were able to defend themselves against others who may wish them harm. After spending several months developing a working industry, a comprehensive support network, and several minor defence guns, CIGS is ready to branch out through the Cradle, and establish themselves on the galactic stage as a group of Geth seeking to protect and defend synthetic intelligences across the galaxy.

The Communicators can usually be found among Sentinel fleets, or on the CIGS homeworld seeking to secure trade routes, and negotiating when organics choose to talk, rather than shoot first. The Industrious and Engineers live near-exclusively planet-side, working towards their prospective goals. The Sentinels, like the Communicators, work both on fleets and on the ground, in whatever situation is required to accomplish the orders given to the Sentinels via consensus of the four groups.

Questions and Suggestions: By clusters, you define that as Relay hops, correct? If not, I'll need to redo my infrastructure/worlds. Also, just for clarification, if a structure has a limit on quantity (a la Orbital Shipyard, though not the Major Spaceport), is that a limit per faction, or a global maximum?

Accepted. I apologize for the late response, I've had technical issues.

[North America Inc]

This goes for everyone, I apologize for the rather slow responses for the past couple of days, I have been rather busy but in the end that is my problem. But now that my mouth has healed and I regained my laptop, the issue is resolved.

Let's play some ME: Factions!

[Greater Istanistan]

My homework is a mess, and grade 12 > RP. However, I've started a post. It'll be pretty good, actually. Fun, even.

For Math and English just show them this because it's Creative Writing and Resource Management. It's shows your mastery of both.

[Kinistian]

Can I propose somthing

[North America Inc]

Can I propose somthing

Feel free.

[Kinistian]

Some people who shall not be named want to make discreet dealings with other people who shall not be named,and don't want to broadcast their doings to all. I propose that I make a anonymous nation to witch people can post their swilling a without fear of some one else try and meta play around it.

Can you clarify? You want to make a puppet nation to interact with others?

Like a puppet nation for everyone to make posts that they might not want other people to know it was them. Like if you want to make a back door deal you'll need be sure that the person your throwing under the bus doesn't know.

But then how do we know if they are really apart of the RP? And not someone trolling around?

Because I'll be doing it,they send me their post and I'll put it up

The how can you verify that they are real? And for who it's for?

Besides there are already rules against metagaming.

Their real because it tells me who sent it

These posts will usually be secrete messages from someone anonymous to a define person

Met shamming as in reading secrete messaged on the IC that are harmful for their faction so they might prepare for it even in the IC they would have no real idea.

I'll think about it and talk it over my Co-Ops.

I'll give u an example of how this can be helpful

On a past thread,I was planning on taking Articuss Station while my Batarian friends invaded the Alliance. I was to pose as reinforcements to help protect the Alliance parliament. Now if the Alliance. Now if the Alliance player saw my posts planning to betray him,he might spill some bs saying how the general felt suspicious and declined the offer,thus avoiding impending doom.

That's probably easier avoided just by letting the Co-Ops/OP be aware of your plans. We can always make "secret" posts, if needed.

And how would u do a secret post

[Lunas Legion]

The better question is why would you need to make secret posts. It's one thing to see an action; it's an entire other level to see what the end goal of that action is. Especally since even if you can't see who made the post, you can still presume from the involved parties, the action itself, location etc.

[Argentumurbem]

All this talk of secrets is giving my STG a sore head.

[Ironsbad]

So... how's everyone doing in their side of the galaxy?

[Argentumurbem]

Are the asterisks against the faction names in the OP those who have posted first turn? Seems like there is a distinct lack of leadership. *Signals cloaked dreads to take over Citadel*

The Salarian Union are doing good, just working quietly on basically nothing really. Getting ready for pro-political plot-arcs in the consequent months
