[The first Galactic Republic]

The Young Justice toys were terrible. They didn't even try.

BTW I actually understand why DC is trying to be as dark as possible. Its their only schtick. Marvel's already known for their humor and self-reference, so DC needs to set its movies apart from Marvel's.


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.

Hey ghond i think you broke your color in your sig.

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

Probably because the creators were more focused on the series than the money.

If only George Lucas thought of that.

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH

My sig is operating per OP request. I don't know how I feel about it.

Guys check out the OP, I posted a Signature sample for Thought Cafe! NON COMPLIANCE IS PUNISHABLE BY GHONDRIA LAW!

Is it looked good on me? Tell me I'm pretty

Which is why it got canceled, paradoxically

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.

Yeah sure.

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

Yaay, typing with my tongue is proven to be difficult.

Concerning Academy of Legends, It would be like any academy rp, but a bit more open, as the students leave the Academy they will encounter groups good and otherwise that may test their loyalty. You can be a monster, or a descendant of a hero from nearly any Mythology, but demigos are rare, sane ones even more so.

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

General populace and around the world on missions. Not everyone will like the fact a god blessed them randomly and forced responsibilities upon them.

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.

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.

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.

It's better than God copulate with them randomly and forced responsibilities upon them. I'm looking at you, Zeus.

Well that's stupid...and sexist.

Even worse: Teen Titans Go was shoved in our faces as "Your new favorite show!" (Mind, this had a half-star review on IMDB for quite a while). 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.

That was annoying. That show ate up most of Cartoon Network rapidly with barely any episodes.

That is cool. Maybe from the wreckage of the earth, ships catalog, and factions we'll met is the first obvious sources.

I would be happy to contribute to the backstory, I have something in the works right now. Actually we can probably integrate "On The Shoulder of Giants" as a prequel to this RP.

Sounds cool in general.

General populace and around the world on missions. Not everyone will like the fact a god blessed them randomly and forced responsibilities upon them.

So something like X-Men?
