You never described it actually
I linked to the interest thread and it describes it more than I want to here because of length.
The premise is that in the future Earth has colonized multiple star systems. The government is rather oppressive though and keeps the colonies under its thumb even as they become more self-sufficient and autonomous. Conflict seems inevitable.
Then the Earth just disappears. It's gone. Nobody knows what happened. Ships from there stop coming. Ships that go to there don't come back. The colonies are now independent. They must focus on survival at all costs, but on the bright side they now decide their own futures.
Players are these colonies. It's very gameplay driven. I'm talking units, currency, infrastructure, etc. Even your app determines stats. It also has an overarching story about figuring out what happened to Earth, and other things.

Sounds interesting and the concept sounds pretty well developed. Do you still need help for it?

I need help with the gameplay stuff. Economics of things mostly but also taking suggestions for mechanics. I'm planning to get a full OOC up tommorow. No reason we can't modify it then even with the OOC posted.
We can talk about the story if you want also.

I'm afraid I can only help you with the story, but I got no head for Gameplay RPs, anybody?

Want to talk about it here then or...
I was going to ask some of the mentors about the gameplay stuff. I have the units and buildings and mechanics down mostly. It's how the economy will work and how much everything will cost that I would like help with.

Like we go out from Academy to the general populace area, like the town, or...?

Yeah sure.
Ask G-Tech, he's got a real knack for that sort of thing. Confuses the hell out of me

CN pulled the same thing on a show that didn't even come out. "Tower Prep" or something, it had a large (but not exclusive) female interest, and it *happened* be be cancelled before it even got out.

Now that they've rebooted Powerpuff Girls (with elementary-school girls twerking, and changing the focus to slice-of-life), they're packaging them both as "Your new favorite shows", despite PPG being almost universally hated from its premiere.
TTG around its start for like 2 months had 8 hour marathons, but they didn't have enough episodes, so it was like 8 hours of the same 2 really bad episodes over and over again. Sometimes, they'd marathon the same episode on repeat for hours.

Finally something I think is kind of unique and cool is slowly unveiling the backstory over time. From our time period right now RL to the loss of Earth the history of the Earth government and details about its structure will be unveiled as the RP goes on. For those who like backstory, they'll be rewarded as the RP goes on. You'll slowly learn more and more about how the government rose to power, humanity's first steps into the stars, the the increasingly oppressive policies of the government.
That last part especially is what I would appreciate contributions towards.

When I make a character RP I love storytelling. I don't like faction RPs though unless there's real gameplay involved.
That being said gameplay will be more important than story. But there is a story you can be involved with if you want.
There are roughly three actually. A more standard linear storytelling experience will unfold through random events. Those represent real challenges in gameplay by the way. You can't just talk your way out of them.
Another story aspect that only progresses though player interaction is finding out what the hell happened to Earth. After all if the whole system is just gone, surely that's something you want to look into.
