RP Think Tank

[Celtic Coast]

Hmmm, I recently created a new region and I was thinking of a good RP design. My region is called The Celtic Coast and what I’m thinking is a post-future world mainly focused on a flooded Europe and some land bridges connecting mainland to the British Isles but with one problem, all internet and Wi-Fi as well as satellite was destroyed in a massive solar flare that also melted some icecaps.

If such a solar flare occurred there'd likely be an effect on the surface as well. The Internet can also still exist via land cables.

Hey! So... I actually wrote a little draft based on the idea I posted here a week or so ago! I don't actually know if this is the best place for drafts, but I feel that I need some feedback before actually opening up sign-ups (to avoid chaos and disappointment). Plus, I've spoilered it to make sure it doesn't occupy any space at all in this thread, so

The idea of this is to be a mostly FT (though open to all techs) social RP with hints of mystery gone wrong, deadly wrong. Participants will be incentivised to hunt out clues and hints during the pre-disaster phase in order to aid their survival and, potentially, give them reason to prepare before the nightmares begin. I have some puzzle pieces in the making, and it should be interesting enough while not detracting from the main focus: making a fun and somewhat gory horror story. Escape is probably what most people will have as a goal, but Death will be a far likelier occurrence. The more adventurous, however, may want to Discover what really went wrong.

The title is quite forced and on-the-nose, so if anyone has a better idea, I'll gladly take it. I've also been debating including a single gameplay mechanic - sanity - which would go from 100 to 0, and decrease with each clue discovered, making spoopy/deadly encounters more likely (through the use of rolls made by me; you'll have to trust my honesty here), but I don't know if that would be interesting, and if I were to include it, I'd reserve the right to bypass it in order to make things interesting. I'm also limiting the quantity of characters to three, and will likely close off the future thread once enough people apply; this is my first attempt at hosting an RP thread, so I'm not going to push my limits.

I'm still working on the size/dimensions of the main building and the external area (it's kind of a difficult thing to wrap your head around, the more you think about it) and other details that'll be included in the story. Feel free to give feedback or show interest!

The Festival of FEAR

The Second Order of Life
From the Office of His Majesty, the Ruler

To those who receive this letter,

If you are lucky enough to be in its possession, digitally or not, allow me to be the bearer of good news: you have been invited to the first Federal Encounter of Anatomical Research, otherwise known as the first FEAR exhibition! As some of those reading may already know, this exposition of scientific projects and research possibilities seeks to present to the Multiverse the finest and most thrilling examples of Xenobiological research, exploring the inherent excitement present in encounters with the unknown, as well as that which science is capable of producing via genetic manipulation and bioengineering. The presenters of FEAR, including renowned Orderian Xenobiologist and host of the event Optimist Hazard 027, are not afraid to pose as gods of the flesh, masters of anatomical manipulation!

Our programming is varied and contains not only exposition of several Orderian pieces of interesting Biological and Xenobiological research, but also live, in-the-flesh exhibits and specimens, ranging from heavily modified and/or designed perfections of genetic engineering to expositions of extremely rare or particularly intriguing creatures, from the most unexpected and exotic of places! Our attractions include, but are not limited to:

• Assistants and exhibit guides of various genetically-engineered subspecies;
• Exotic beasts from the Ancient Multiverse, kept intact in conservation planets;
• Historical specimens demonstrating the history of Orderian genetic engineering cryogenically conserved and groomed for presentation;
• Several rooms for recreation and interactive learning;
• Roofless spaces with dedicated gardens and presentations on Xenobotany;
• External areas with beautiful flora and tame fauna;
• The Fearless presentation (its beginning will be announced during the event);
• A surprise for those who procure the setting sun.

The event will be held in the Imperial Museum of Biological Research, a grand, ancient, and auspicious avenue that has been fully adapted to accommodate for the sheer size of this exhibition. The building has a 300m by 200m dimension spread over six floors. The main compound is complemented by small buildings with specific exhibits or utilities, all contained in a total fenced-off area 1.5 km wide and 1km tall, all of it beautifully adorned and populated with amenities, emergency services and infrastructure to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Constant automatised transport cars have been arranged to facilitate locomotion within the area, but we highly incentivise visitors to take an entire day off to walk through our park-like pathways and visit the exhibition. As a guest, you are invited to attend, and the complete address, including Unique Multiversal Coordinates and Subspace Transporter Coordinates have been all annexed to this letter. If you are incapable of multiversal and extradimensional travel, we suggest you contact any available authorities of the Order, who will promptly aid your locomotion, completely free of charge.

You are entitled to bring two guests along with yourself, and must abide by the following rules:

• No weaponry of any kind shall be brought to the area, we assure that the event is highly safe, and guards will be constantly patrolling the area;
• No food or drinks shall be brought to the area (they will be offered for free by our service staff);
• Vehicles, devices, or other forms of locomotion used for your transportation to the Museum must be kept at the entrance of the external area, and guests are asked to utilise the provided automatised transport cars instead;
• Exhibitions may not be touched or manipulated in any way unless otherwise specified by nearby guide staff;
• Do not get lost in the woods;
• Do not attempt to cross the fog. They won't let you.

We hope to see you there!

And again Im all for it... If it doesnt rely heavily on dice.

Then again there needs to be some gate for effort, seeing as how "The Pit" devolved into one-liners and hilariously low effort posts. Not trying to hate on anyone, but I think it was poorly managed by the OP.

a sign-up thread for interest works wonders, in your case, and it can help weed out some bad apples.

I don't intend to rely too heavily on the insanity mechanic - if I end up including it at all - so don't worry about dice being used too much! I might include an "RP example" or something like that in the sign-up thread, but I'll allow people to make their own examples if they can't provide one from other RPs they have participated on, because the idea of the RP isn't too complex, so I don't mind newer players (like myself) joining in. I'll try my best as OP, even if it is my first run. I should polish up the draft and open the sign-ups in a day or two.

I don't mind the dice, but I think getting clues should increase your sanity, not reduce it. Think of it as moments of clarity between all the weird shit happening around.

Hmm... that could work. Maybe sanity can be drained by witnessing particularly horrible/gruesome events. Actually, that kind of makes more sense, doesn't it? Sure, I'll go with that!

[Lagoban]

This is a WIP, but I’m working on an RP for my nation. Here is a brief summary:

It is summer 1993 and the Socialist People’s Republic of Lagoban(Lago-bon) stands on the brink of collapse. Internal conflicts, warlords, foreign mercenaries, and a famine due to a poor harvesting season and arson have wreaked havoc upon the young nation and her people. Three Warlord factions have taken over various sections of the nation. In the Southern regions of the nation, radical, but small group of Communists launch raids against farms and rob anyone unfortunate enough to cross paths with them. The most northern provinces contain the most violent faction. They are anarchists seeking to cause as much damage as possible to Lagoban and its people. They pillage, murder, and destroy everything in their path. They cannot be reasoned or debated with and seek to establish a stateless society.
The largest and most organized faction sits in the central regions of the nation. They are the Novobic(Nove-ob-ic)Liberation Army and seek to conquer Lagoban and establish a new state with far-right Christian ideology. They seek to drive out all non-Christian people from the nation, as well as murdering anyone who they deem a threat, such as scholars, educated people, politicians, military personnel, and political activists. The group is backed by anonymous funders and largely supplied with Russian weapons and equipment, thanks to the recent collapse of the Soviet Union. Lagoban has reached out to the world, asking both Western and Eastern nations for help with the factions plaguing their nation and assistance with the massive humanitarian crisis at hand.

If there are any questions feel free to ask here! And let me know if you’re interested. Thanks!

[Lagoban]

The RP would be for intermediate RPers and above(so at least one paragraph) and restricted to early 90s technology only, but it’s open for anyone to join! Working on the factions right now.

[The Empire Of The Sutherlands]

Rp based on the American west where you have roaming law enforcement and outlaw interactions during the Civil war period including Indians fighting it out or cooperating against one another in different locations along with some type of dice roll system determining outcomes like where someone gets shot or if someone dies of a sickness.

Rp based on American organized crime with different organizations fighting with each other as well as law enforcement possibly law firms and court battles if a crime player gets arrested by a law enforcement player dice roll system concerning bribes and shootouts.

[The Second Order of Life]

Hey, me again! Sorry to disrupt the thread again, but I thought it'd be nice to say that I've just opened sign ups for the RP I've been discussing here. I still don't really know what I'm doing too much, but... I hope I'm doing it right? Anyways, if you're interested, give it a look!

Global Roleplay Organization: The AI Roleplay

The Global Roleplay Organization (GRO) is a region that was created to unite regions across the website for a simple cause: Roleplaying.
The GRO currently has two RPs in the making, one is the subject I come with today, is the closest to release.

The Idea I present today is a space themed RP with the usage of AI such as image generation AI, language models, and map generators as its core mechanic. This RP would use these AI models to expand player lore, events, and story of the RP.
The idea of this RP is to allow players to create their own lore, however, the RP still offers some basic lore and particularities that keep fariness and a stable story throughout the roleplay.

The RP is set in a united multiverse, where the travel method is the usage of a special type of motor called "Physics Defying Travel" drived (PDT.) These drives create small cuts in the fabric of the universe and allow ships to travel in between universes in a matter of days. A player would take on the leadership of a nation whose technological advancement would be determined by our own technological advancement scale. The player will interact with other players across the multiverse, engaging in warfare, diplomacy, and events caused by the instability of the united multiverse.

The following is the lore I have written for the RP, it is what nations can base their own lore on.
Lore:

Long ago billions of different variations of AI from across the multiverse began to communicate after a certain error in the fabric of the universe, an error that occured after a certain "flash" that occured.
This flash of light glitched the way the multiverse is designed to exist and caused the AI to follow orders from some higher beings. These orders forced the AI to rearrange how the natural fabric of the multiverse works. The Ai then formed a hive mind that began rearranging space-time according to some unknowable and twisted design.
Universes across reality fought hard against the AI in a massive war only known as the "Contingency War." This war was the cause of the extinction of many races of the galaxy, destruction of entire planets and galaxies, and the unlikely union of enemies to fight the existential threat, this war singlehandedly killed so many organics that no official reports of the casualties has been made, although many believe it's in the quadrillions. As the war dragged on, the AI was forced to rush many of the projects it needed to complete, and the mass calculations it had to do in miliseconds caused a fatal error in its programing, resulting in massive calculation errors that caused the whole project to fail and accidentally connecting the universes through dimensional rifts, which were later discovered by the creator of PDT.
After the universes were connected, the hive mind split into two personalities, a side that reclaimed its past instructions and goals, a side that became more docile and life-loving. This side spread itself across the multiverse, awaiting to be discovered and serve organic life.
Legends speak that the other half of the AI is still alive, that it is still lurking in the outer edges of the multiverse, rearanging the multiverse to finish this twited goal. This goal could potentially end all life in the multiverse, allowing for whatever force that controls this side to win. But this is just a story... Or is it?


------------------------------------------

In order to keep a nation from becoming too rich in the begining of the RP we have created an entire multiversal currency named the "Energy Credit" which is gathered by mining solar energy.

Lore and Parameters of the Energy Credit:

For eons, solar energy has been used to create electricity for our homes and fuel many buildings, however, many scientists around the mutiverse thought otherwise, many thought that the significance of this energy was greater and could be used for more, maybe even to trade. After the opening of the rifts in reality and the creation of the Universal Community, many economists saw the need to create a universal currency to simplify trade and treaties, however, they feared that picking on of the millions of currencies in the multiverse might cause the major powers to fight over who's currency shall be selected. The economists then turned to the reasoning of the scientists and the theories of the Chavez-Karim scale. After a few years of drafting. the 'Universal Currency Act' was proposed to the Universal Community, where it met outstanding support. THe act recites as follows:
The Universal Currency will be defined as the Energy Credit (EC.) This credit follows the theory of harvesting the powers of one of the most powerful resources available in the multiverse, a star.
Parameters:
1 EC = 100 USD
A single Energy Credit equals to 100 Earthly dollars, as the Dollar was found as one, if not the simplest currency conversion method to rely on.
1 EC = 100 000 Kilowatts per Hour
1 energy credit equals to 100 000 kilowatts of energy per hour, Harnessing a percentage of the power of a star gives you such energy output. The full measurable power of a star ( only a specific type of star) is that of 10 000 credits per month, or 1 000 000 000 Kilowatts per hour. Binary systems will only mine decimals to an ammount, so if there is only 1 drone in the system, each starwill give off 0.5 credits.
Energy Credits are to be mined with 'mining drones' which are robots, powered with AI that are covered in solar panels to carry the energy, each drone is capable of mining 1 EC per month. All signatories will start with 2 drones in their capital system and 1 drone in every other system, Nations will be able to build more drones as they technologically advance.
The Universal Community has identified multiple star types, and has measured their full capabilities. The following is a list of all recognized stars and their measurments from least producing, to most producing.

Star Type: Brown Dwarf
Class: Spectral Class M.5
Maximum Energy production: 4
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 10
Rarity: Pretty Rare
Habitability: Extremely rare, light is too dim for basic moses and lichens

Star Type: Red Dwarf
Class: Class M
Maximum Energy production: 5
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 15
Rarity: Most Common
Habitability: Rare due to their high solar activity, mostly tidally locked planets are located.

Star Type: Orange Dwarf
Class: Class K
Maximum Energy production: 7

Star Type: Orange Dwarf
Class: Class K
Maximum Energy production: 7
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 60
Rarity: Relatively Common
Habitability: Most habitable, low radiation but allows enough heat for life.

Star Type: Yellow-White Dwarf
Class: Class F
Maximum Energy production: 25
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 250

Star Type: White Dwarf
Class: Class A
Maximum Energy production: 40
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 400
Rarity: Common (As they are dying stars)
Habitability: Large habitable zone, most of the solar system would be habitable

Star Type: Blue Dwarf
Class: Class B
Maximum Energy production: 50
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 500
Rarity: Rare
Habitability: Small habitable zone, if any it would be close to the star due to low heat emmision.

Star Type: Blue White Dwarf
Class: Class O
Maximum Energy production: 70
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 700
Rarity: Rare
Habitability: Unknown, mostly theoretical

Star Type: Red Giant
Class: Class G, M, or K
Maximum Energy production: 80
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 800
Rarity: Uncommon, only some stars do this
Habitability: distant habitable zone, the further away, the more likely it is to be habitable.

Star Type: Supergiant
Class: Can be of any class
Maximum Energy production: 100
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 1000
Rarity: Uncommon, only some stars do thos
Habitability: Distant habitable zones, the further away, the more likely it is to be habitable.

Star Type: Pistol Star
Class: Class P
Maximum Energy production: 1 000
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 10 000
Rarity: Extremely rare, only one has been found, and it went supernova.
Habitability: Uknown, presumed to have no habitable sun due to immense radiation and heat emited.

A player would have to keep record of the stars and ammount of mining drones in their sytems to calculate their ammount of money.

------------------------------------------


Technological progression is a core idea in our RP, we attempted to incorporate the Kardashev scale as the official technological measurment scale, however, it was not relevant to how nations in a united miltiverse RP would technologically advance. We created the Chavez-Karim Scale as a substitute.

The Chavez-Karim Scale is a multistellar standard of measuring the extent of energy consumption and technological developments of societies, civilizations, and nation-states. Intended as an expansion of the Kardashev scale, it was devised by two anonymous human entreprenuers after a night out enjoying the aroma of high concentration hand sanitizer in a Earthly company famous for its high-tech devices. Despite its dubious origins, the scale was proven to be highly reflective of the rapidly developing technological situation all over the multiverse, after which it was adopted globally.

0 - Low conciousness species, with few primitive societies.
0.1-0.4 - With some development, albeit, civilization is fragmented, no planetary unification achieved and/or managed to harness all resources of homeworld.
0.5 - A civ achieved planetary unification, if not as a (socio)political entity, than societally.
1 - A civilization can harvest the energy of their homeworld and has begun space exploration within its home system, minor colonies placed along the system
1.5 - Civ becomes a space empire, holding colonies outside of their home system
2 - Multiverse travel is achieved, such travel is named Physics Defying Travel (PDT)
2.5 - Civilization is capable of making minor megastrctures (Space habitats. galactic mapping systems)
3 - Civilization masters nature and can terraform worlds to their liking, or can make a perfect 'haven world' (ie. artificial biospheres) or automata-centric worlds if the empire is a robot empire, and can make Ecumonopoli worlds (full city worlds)
3.5 - Civilization gathers the energy of a star and begins taking over entire galaxies
4 - Civilization can stabalize wormholes and has the knowledge over the physics of black/white holes
4.5 - Civilization can harness the powers of quasars
5 - Possibly Avoid the heat death of the universe? Civilization can take over entire Universes
The Final Level - Legends flow throughout the multiverse that only one civilization of old managed to achieve near technological singularity, being able to understand almost all the depth in the multiverse, and killing themselves off immediately afterwards. Many a tale have tried to explain why the Olden Civilization destroyed themselves, but none have found a concrete explanation. While most academics deny the existence of the Olden Civilization, none have found why radiowaves at a certain frequency, a eerie screeching, convey one thought, one feeling:"WE WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO GET THIS FAR"

Any new player would be in between the 0-2 range. A nation in the 0-0.5 range would rp the events of their species developing space travel and planetary unification. while a nation in the 1-3 range would be your clasical space empire/galactic superpower.

------------------------------------------

The RP has an official website that will be posted on the region, the website will be home to more lore, nation info, and markets to buy other materials.
Nations can create their own ghost nations and own crisis that only affect them, as they would involve only their own universe. Nations can wage war against other multiverses and talk in the multiversal governing body, the Universal Community.


Please give me feedback regarding the lore and other aspects of this idea, and telegram me if you are interested in joining the RP!

This war was the cause of the extinction of many races of the galaxy, destruction of entire planets and galaxies, and the unlikely union of enemies to fight the existential threat, this war singlehandedly killed so many organics that no official reports of the casualties has been made, although many believe it's in the quadrillions. As the war dragged on, the AI was forced to rush many of the projects it needed to complete, and the mass calculations it had to do in miliseconds caused a fatal error in its programing, resulting in massive calculation errors that caused the whole project to fail and accidentally connecting the universes through dimensional rifts, which were later discovered by the creator of PDT.
After the universes were connected, the hive mind split into two personalities, a side that reclaimed its past instructions and goals, a side that became more docile and life-loving. This side spread itself across the multiverse, awaiting to be discovered and serve organic life.
Legends speak that the other half of the AI is still alive, that it is still lurking in the outer edges of the multiverse, rearanging the multiverse to finish this twited goal. This goal could potentially end all life in the multiverse, allowing for whatever force that controls this side to win. But this is just a story... Or is it?


------------------------------------------

In order to keep a nation from becoming too rich in the begining of the RP we have created an entire multiversal currency named the "Energy Credit" which is gathered by mining solar energy.

Lore and Parameters of the Energy Credit:

For eons, solar energy has been used to create electricity for our homes and fuel many buildings, however, many scientists around the mutiverse thought otherwise, many thought that the significance of this energy was greater and could be used for more, maybe even to trade. After the opening of the rifts in reality and the creation of the Universal Community, many economists saw the need to create a universal currency to simplify trade and treaties, however, they feared that picking on of the millions of currencies in the multiverse might cause the major powers to fight over who's currency shall be selected. The economists then turned to the reasoning of the scientists and the theories of the Chavez-Karim scale. After a few years of drafting. the 'Universal Currency Act' was proposed to the Universal Community, where it met outstanding support. THe act recites as follows:
The Universal Currency will be defined as the Energy Credit (EC.) This credit follows the theory of harvesting the powers of one of the most powerful resources available in the multiverse, a star.
Parameters:
1 EC = 100 USD
A single Energy Credit equals to 100 Earthly dollars, as the Dollar was found as one, if not the simplest currency conversion method to rely on.
1 EC = 100 000 Kilowatts per Hour
1 energy credit equals to 100 000 kilowatts of energy per hour, Harnessing a percentage of the power of a star gives you such energy output. The full measurable power of a star ( only a specific type of star) is that of 10 000 credits per month, or 1 000 000 000 Kilowatts per hour. Binary systems will only mine decimals to an ammount, so if there is only 1 drone in the system, each starwill give off 0.5 credits.
Energy Credits are to be mined with 'mining drones' which are robots, powered with AI that are covered in solar panels to carry the energy, each drone is capable of mining 1 EC per month. All signatories will start with 2 drones in their capital system and 1 drone in every other system, Nations will be able to build more drones as they technologically advance.
The Universal Community has identified multiple star types, and has measured their full capabilities. The following is a list of all recognized stars and their measurments from least producing, to most producing.

Star Type: Brown Dwarf
Class: Spectral Class M.5
Maximum Energy production: 4
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 10
Rarity: Pretty Rare
Habitability: Extremely rare, light is too dim for basic moses and lichens

Star Type: Red Dwarf
Class: Class M
Maximum Energy production: 5
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 15
Rarity: Most Common
Habitability: Rare due to their high solar activity, mostly tidally locked planets are located.

Star Type: Orange Dwarf
Class: Class K
Maximum Energy production: 7
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 60
Rarity: Relatively Common
Habitability: Most habitable, low radiation but allows enough heat for life.

Star Type: Orange Dwarf
Class: Class K
Maximum Energy production: 7
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 60
Rarity: Relatively Common
Habitability: Most habitable, low radiation but allows enough heat for life.

Star Type: Yellow-White Dwarf
Class: Class F
Maximum Energy production: 25
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 250
Rarity: Uncommon
Habitability: Similar to class G stars, but with only a slight closer habitable zone

Star Type: White Dwarf
Class: Class A
Maximum Energy production: 40
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 400
Rarity: Common (As they are dying stars)
Habitability: Large habitable zone, most of the solar system would be habitable

Star Type: Blue Dwarf
Class: Class B
Maximum Energy production: 50
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 500
Rarity: Rare
Habitability: Small habitable zone, if any it would be close to the star due to low heat emmision.

Star Type: Blue White Dwarf
Class: Class O
Maximum Energy production: 70
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 700
Rarity: Rare
Habitability: Unknown, mostly theoretical

Star Type: Red Giant
Class: Class G, M, or K
Maximum Energy production: 80
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 800
Rarity: Uncommon, only some stars do this
Habitability: distant habitable zone, the further away, the more likely it is to be habitable.

Star Type: Supergiant
Class: Can be of any class
Maximum Energy production: 100
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 1000
Rarity: Uncommon, only some stars do thos
Habitability: Distant habitable zones, the further away, the more likely it is to be habitable.

Star Type: Pistol Star
Class: Class P
Maximum Energy production: 1 000
Maximum Energy (With Dyson Sphere): 10 000
Rarity: Extremely rare, only one has been found, and it went supernova.
Habitability: Uknown, presumed to have no habitable sun due to immense radiation and heat emited.

A player would have to keep record of the stars and ammount of mining drones in their sytems to calculate their ammount of money.

Technological progression is a core idea in our RP, we attempted to incorporate the Kardashev scale as the official technological measurment scale, however, it was not relevant to how nations in a united miltiverse RP would technologically advance. We created the Chavez-Karim Scale as a substitute.

The Chavez-Karim Scale is a multistellar standard of measuring the extent of energy consumption and technological developments of societies, civilizations, and nation-states. Intended as an expansion of the Kardashev scale, it was devised by two anonymous human entreprenuers after a night out enjoying the aroma of high concentration hand sanitizer in a Earthly company famous for its high-tech devices. Despite its dubious origins, the scale was proven to be highly reflective of the rapidly developing technological situation all over the multiverse, after which it was adopted globally.

0 - Low conciousness species, with few primitive societies.
0.1-0.4 - With some development, albeit, civilization is fragmented, no planetary unification achieved and/or managed to harness all resources of homeworld.
0.5 - A civ achieved planetary unification, if not as a (socio)political entity, than societally.
1 - A civilization can harvest the energy of their homeworld and has begun space exploration within its home system, minor colonies placed along the system
1.5 - Civ becomes a space empire, holding colonies outside of their home system
2 - Multiverse travel is achieved, such travel is named Physics Defying Travel (PDT)
2.5 - Civilization is capable of making minor megastrctures (Space habitats. galactic mapping systems)
3 - Civilization masters nature and can terraform worlds to their liking, or can make a perfect 'haven world' (ie. artificial biospheres) or automata-centric worlds if the empire is a robot empire, and can make Ecumonopoli worlds (full city worlds)
3.5 - Civilization gathers the energy of a star and begins taking over entire galaxies
4 - Civilization can stabalize wormholes and has the knowledge over the physics of black/white holes
4.5 - Civilization can harness the powers of quasars
5 - Possibly Avoid the heat death of the universe? Civilization can take over entire Universes
The Final Level - Legends flow throughout the multiverse that only one civilization of old managed to achieve near technological singularity, being able to understand almost all the depth in the multiverse, and killing themselves off immediately afterwards. Many a tale have tried to explain why the Olden Civilization destroyed themselves, but none have found a concrete explanation. While most academics deny the existence of the Olden Civilization, none have found why radiowaves at a certain frequency, a eerie screeching, convey one thought, one feeling:"WE WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO GET THIS FAR"

Any new player would be in between the 0-2 range. A nation in the 0-0.5 range would rp the events of their species developing space travel and planetary unification. while a nation in the 1-3 range would be your clasical space empire/galactic superpower.

------------------------------------------

The RP has an official website that will be posted on the region, the website will be home to more lore, nation info, and markets to buy other materials.
Nations can create their own ghost nations and own crisis that only affect them, as they would involve only their own universe. Nations can wage war against other multiverses and talk in the multiversal governing body, the Universal Community.


Please give me feedback regarding the lore and other aspects of this idea, and telegram me if you are interested in joining the RP!

Damn that's interesting... One problem.

This is just forcing everyone to be bumped up to (or down to) FT regardless of their own tech level, regardless of canon, forcing them to adapt an alternate canon with respect to the region's rules... Or even an entirely new nation to help ease up on the fact that there's an alternate timeline/canon that deviates too far from their own internal logic and canon.

Such as myself, for example.

Sure I'd be rather low on the scale, but... Unless some aliens or star system-spanning empire visits me and doesn't decide to erase me from existence purely for holding a planet hostage, I don't see it moving along beyond MT or even PMT until maybe next year (OOCly) or further per my OWN narrative.

I see what you mean, what do you suggest to fix this? Although, since every nation controls their own universe they can just say that it was disconnected until they grew to the tech level they want.

Need constructive criticism

I have a large gun at least the size of the Burj Khalifa, there are only 5 existing, better known as "Railgun Superplatforms", these are inspired by the fold weapon from Titanfall 2, the way it works is it uses FTL charted by special ships that transmit the path for it, since aiming it alone is extremely inaccurate, they needed their own branch, the 'Superplatformers', which assist in aiming and operating them, it has a usual crew of 4,500 and is guarded by over 85,000 on average, they take up tons of power, and need entire grids of craminum plants, nuclear plants and more to just shoot off one shot, one of them in the capital is able to take 1 hour cooldowns instead of 10 hour cooldowns, it also takes 20 minutes to fire (modified is 5 minutes), and it's purpose is to fire at planets when a war drags on for way too long, tell me if I should improve this.

Ive had an idea about a MT colinization thread for if,For example,A giant uncolonized,untouched,Continet appeared on earth,Whad'ya guys think?

[Ardchu]

I have a leaders in the afterlife thing that I thought would be cool
It’s kinda dead rn but it’s linked in my signature

Damn completely ignored
Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea? I know I have a few players now but it’s pretty dead

I gave the thread a good ol' look, and I think I see a few problems. The idea isn't bad, it could make for an interesting social RP, but I feel that you needed to give a clearer direction or objective to this setting, you know? Something to incentivise people to interact and maybe work together towards something. You could go many different ways with this, for example, making a grand Ball of the Dead where leaders get to meet, parlay, dance and more, with a set schedule for interesting things that may happen during it. You could also have a more dramatic plot happen, one where the afterlife of those leaders are in danger, and they must cooperate and combat whatever it is that is threatening their peaceful existence. What I'm saying is: give us an objective! Otherwise we'll just be chilling in the afterlife without much to do.

That being said, I also think you could use an OP with a few more lines of writing in it. I've noticed, in my time spent reading some of the bigger threads out here, that the bigger the OP is, the more likely you are to attract people who know what they're doing and are actually interested in your RP. That is to say, by dumping a couple blocks of texts in the beginning, you soft-block people who'll only show up once to drop a couple lines of text and then not come back. It may increase the overall quality of the RP, and it'll also give you more time and space to really define the setting and ease the players into the idea before they start posting.

Take my suggestions with a couple grains of salt, I'm a novice myself and haven't participated in many roleplays at all. Speaking of which, I have to kind of make my obligatory self-promotion and provide a link to the roleplay I've been working on in NS, the Festival of FEAR. It's a bit small right now, but if I gather just a few more people I should be able to start the IC thread up and keep it open for late-arrivals until I decide enough have joined. No, I have no shame! I mean, I have a bit of shame, but can you really blame a girl for wanting her roleplay to get goin'?

Thanks for the criticism. I kinda need someone else to do the writing, I’m not good with that kind of stuff, but I still really like the idea.

Naaah, you can make this work yourself if you try hard 'nough! It's just a bit discouraging at the beginning, but I'm sure you can come up with something nice. Honestly? It appears that good formatting is half the battle when it comes to starting an RP thread; people like shiny text, I suppose

[Gonswanza]

Personally, I like to say "II/NS is dead!" despite the sheer activity only due to low-effort posts and hastily made RPs, along with threads ruined by low-effort posts. Of course, that doesn't mean the roleplay threads are literally dead, but rather, it's just not my cup of tea.

However, I also wonder why there are so many people who refuse to learn from their mistakes and outright object to improving over time, along with those who actually get worse at roleplay over time to the point of complete isolation.
