Star War Galaxy [General OOC Thread]

[New Terminus]

Well yes, but that might be an unnecessary limitation for people who want to RP more than one "faction" on the good vs evil scale, so to speak.

I think all we need is an official timeline of sorts, to give an overview of the main galactic "threats" or events. And then take turns. For example, after Thrashia's Chaos invasion is wrapped up, it could be Godular's turn. And then I'm sure OG has a sinister plot or two brewing.

The point is to have one active "main" thread at a time, and prioritize that. Then if people want to do other stuff on the side, that's not a problem, as long as the main RP is moving forward and we have an official timeline that gives us an overview.

I see the merit but i dont think its quite the right way to go about it. Having one main active thread at a time eithee pigeon holes others who want to do a big arc and forces them to wait and at the pace something like Dying dawn is going that wait is a very very long time. I know your not saying people cant post other threads but other people see different story arcs as more important than others.

Its a tricky situation to try and manage and i dont think this is the right way of going about it.

Well but the point is, if DD would be a priority, and people wouldn't have too many threads on the side to keep up with, things would move along faster. And in general, if we had an official timeline that shows what threads fit in where, that would also make it easier to keep up and stay active.

DD's slow posting is due to one problem, and one problem that has plagued the SWG since it's inception. Getting Hunt to post.

Speaking of blaming ppl, can you finally TG me your email so I can add you to the chatroom and we can discuss stuff?

[Achesia]

So will there be strict guidelines on it only being SW Tech? That would be fun and I would definatally be interested, but if its just a FT tech group then idk...

General FT, but heavy SW influence.

I mean we got Honorverse, Enderverse, and I'm pretty sure somebody uses Necrons... and I use custom stuff. It all comes down to how you RP it.

Yeah im really just looking for SW rp... :/ sorry

[Asfaltum]

I'm sure if you wanted to make an RP strictly limited to SW tech, people wouldn't mind. I think we have at least one or two guys who are entirely SW based...

[Balrogga]

The one problem with limiting it to only SW tech is the long list of other players who would be excluded and unable to defend any claims on their territory if the said RP takes a turn in their direction either geographically or plot-wise.

A good example is if the RP took them to Lehon, a place long claimed by Lord Atrox when he was led there by the sentience of the Forge and took the place over, rebuilding the Forge and trapping it within a Kython version of itself. He also created the New Sith Order (NSO), an Order dedicated to hunting down Banites and Ragers.

Now, if the RP uses a follower of Bane (Rule of Two) or a Rager, the events might attract Atrox's attention and he might send one of the other characters on a little hunt or take personal interest. That could be Darth Twilight or one of the other PCs at the NSO.

The point is restrictions can easily prevent characters from taking actions which they would normally make.

I'm not to sure what your point was but all I am saying is I think the Star Wars Galaxy should just be Star Wars Tech... There is plenty of other RPs for regular FT stuff.

SW tech doesn't necessarily preclude others.

Uhh for a more even rp it dosnt make sense to mix techs. Specially if we are doing SW rp. However its ya'lls rp
Im just stating why Im reluctant to join unless it really actually was a SW rp.

Restrictions take away from the fun. The only guide one should need is for good storytelling.

Its not really a restriction. Its like saying you cant use MT tech in a PT rp.

[CoreWorlds]

I dunno if you're into anime, but there's one called Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There.

It's basically an MT nation (Japan) vs PT nation (Fantasy Rome) and the invasion and counterattack goes about as well as you can expect horse cav to go up against armored cav. It's better than it sounds, and one of the few anime I'd recommend OG to watch.

The JSDF even got to reprise the Apocalypse Now 'Ride of the Valkyries' scene!

The point I was trying to make is if your RP restricts members of the SWG from defending already established territories both geographically or plot-wise, it prevents them from defending against possible intrusions into their domains.

The example I used pointed out Lehon belonged to Lord Atrox and his NSO hunted down Banites and Ragers. By not allowing me to use my nation to respond to your RP that took the plot to Lehon or one that involved Sith that might be hunted by the NSO, you are preventing me from defending my "territory" much the same way using FTL munitions would bypass defense of ships or even colony worlds. You would be dictating my losses (inability to react to intrusions in my area).

I used that specific example to illustrate both geographical (Lehon) and plot driven (Banite and Rager hunting) examples of how restricting established members from participating in RPs set in the SWG we helped create. There are actually only a small fraction of players here completely 100% SWG cannon.

Oh, CW, I saw Gate too. It is a good example of how two different tech levels could be forced into conflict.

Yeah and thats my point, its not really a SW rp then, nor is it any fun that way. Anyways tootles.

[Thrashia]

Achesia, the issue regarding only SW tech has been addressed on numerous occasions. Largely due to the fact that we in the SWG often wish to participate with nations outside of it, the idea of keeping only SW tech inside seemed silly and counter-productive. Not to mention that a lot of my own SW-tech would have to be washed, since most of it is EU or my own development. The debate would start over what exactly is SW-tech? Do you mean canon or non-canon? What is canon? What isn't cannon? etc. It would become bogged down in opinion and counter-opinion, to no ones benefit.

There are occasionally SW-only rps out there, but they're one-offs and not full on RP groups that are dedicated to story writing.

[Balrogga]

While we are discussing this topic, I thought I would provide a little entertainment.



If Vader had been born in our version and joined a band instead.....

And honestly, most of us would probably reject and oppose such an attempt to make it SW-only in terms of tech. I know I would, even if I was once big in the SWG. So either way, you're kinda out of luck, even if I do think I understand where you're coming from. It's just that limitations simply will not wash because we play our nations the way we want to play, even in this version of the SWG. If you still feel like you want a SW-tech-only RP, then by all means, you may do so. It just won't happen here.

CW, I've never seen you so direct before. You're all grown up now. *tear*
