So, I just finished season four of breaking bad.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Is this good enough? I want my species to be old, I usually RP an ancient species.


So, you've colonized fifteen systems in over 25 000 years of being able to travel faster than light?


Yes, it takes ages to terraform whole systems and to scan them A LOT, and they take things slow when they arrive at new systems. It is necessary for safety. They aren't idiotic conquerers!

Now, Caecuser and Nore. Caecuser, I'm disappointed in how you handled this situation. Yes, Nore's app is unacceptable for a few reasons. Yes, you were right to say no. On the other hand, your defense for why you disallowed the age and tech sections of the application are downright favoritist. There are balance reasons, not experience reasons, not, as you say a "superiority" difference. Better RPers shouldn't get better nations - that's unfair and elitist.


Whelp, making mine older! I can do that, right?

I made it to old at 325,000 years, correct? I just want an ancient civilization.

No, you shouldn't make it older, for lore reasons.

I always RP an ancient civilzation with an FTL age somewhere between 100,000 years and 500,000 years. Can I have anywhere between there? I don't want a ridiculously young civilization.

Look, you can try, but I'm just saying you won't get in by doing that.

I see civilizations that are only 230 years old but have FTL tech, humans are over 6,000 years old in civilization and don't have FTL tech yet. I am just trying to be realistic, my nation is going to be old and isn't going to pop up with FTL tech after a few centuries or even 10,000 years, or even 20,000 years. I also see nations that have the same civilization age as their technological age and FTL age, which is ridiculous considering they're from council members, which is why it may have gotten through "the cracks", and shouldn't just pop up with advanced tech in less than a year.

It may that they're not counting "civilization" as when as when civilization first begun on their homeworld, but when the most recent iteration or unification, or new leadership/governmental structure came in. Sometimes coinciding with each other these things might happen - such as the ability to leave a system being an event which unifies the people into a single "civilization".

Are you saying that because it's your civilization, or am I missing something? It says "civilization age" so it should encompass the earliest iteration or unification or leadership/governmental structure, or it is no longer the civilization that is claims to be.

I believe those who did such a thing annotated it was their most recent iteration.

Ah, there is also still a typo in the OP, they fixed the mispelling of one word but in another place it is still typoed "counsel". I also disagree, a better RPer SHOULD get a better nation because you know you can trust them. You do not know you can trust me.

Since you do not know you can trust me I will change my age to something more reasonable. Maybe, well, 30,000 since 10,000 is a huge NO if you're being realistic and 20,000 is still iffy, 30,000 is a safe haven and with a intelligence of 10 I think I would need it to be realistic, which I want to be. Do you agree on this or do I need to change it?

Thank you. I also added this part after "I would need it" " think I would need it to be realistic, which I want to be." Would that make me the oldest non-canon/none of the "Three" races in this RP? If so I will change it to 25,000 to be more reasonable.

It doesn't matter if you're the oldest of the non-Three races; 30 000 is alright.

I assume you're counting the Tarquinium in that.

Old, but, as I am an OP, and asked the other OPs, it is okay.
