A religues cult starts preaching about a alien being comming to save only those who are true belivers, they start oppening churches and gain traction on the FT nation or ations. After a while the cult starts killing people which try to leave or inult the cult. The nations police force starts invetigating the killings and notice all people had something to the with the cult. They raid the main church but notice its empty, after investigating they find more bodies some weapons and plans for some attacks on civillian and governmet locations. Once the invetigation is complete several bombs go of at different key locations causing massive panic , the cult reveals they commited the attacks and start commitig more attacks. After a few attacks have occured and a leading priest is captured and some information is found on him about weapons caches and cult strongholds, The nation or nations raid the stronghold and find weapons with the RNWO seal of approval. They accuse the reich of starting the cult and funding them. Then they either go to war with the reich or maybe start a criminal case.

This is what i had in mind but it can be changed or reworked completelly.

Nation Name: Diarcesia
RP Category: Economic, War (Defensive), Marriage, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute (Non-violent)
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required): The Pixel War: Diarcesia under the leadership of Monarchess Nady of Staur defeated an invasion of the Pixels, earning her the epithet Pixel-Slayer. Time period: Unknown, only established fact is that it started and ended during Nady's reign, which is between 2217 and 2272.
Kardashev Type: II
FTL?: Yes
Short Nation description: A political entity that endured since the 9th Century by maintaining a delicate balance between tradition and innovation, Diarcesia is a Monarchy (in its own fashion) that experienced an explosion of technological and economic advancements in the latter half of the 21st Century. Nowadays, it expands via colonization and confederation, but if invaded, it tends to keep its gains at the invader's expense.
Other Notes: Actual KardashevType varies: I (22nd Century), II (23nd Century), III (c. 8th Millennium).

Most of the colonized moons have no more than a few million people and are centers of mining. Ice mining is very lucrative on these moons, as Luxcentra has no naturally forming ice.

We have a central black hole, that is surrounded by a primitive Dyson sphere (which was built at quite a large distance from the event horizon and at extremely fast speeds), mainly used to generate a shield to ensure the stability of the system. Long and arduous processes done by the military are involved in maintaining the size and stability of the black hole.

It's up to the invader to figure out how to take the ecumenopolis. If you can even do so!!

TG me if you're interested!


My nation is extremely defence oriented as well, the only reason we'd attack another nation is if we deem them a possible danger in the future (i.e. amassing an invasion force, stealing our resources, sending threats our way, developing WMDs). Unless this thread makes every signed up nation aware of each other's existence, we don't even know where anyone else is. My nation is also very apathetic to outsiders, meaning we don't care if you attack someone else, or start dying just outside our borders. Unless such events could potentially detriment us in the future, we won't take action without a good reason.

With negotiation I'm currently up for:
  • Economic - trading material resources, blueprints, knowledge, location data.
  • War - joint missions to exterminate/contain a potential threat (e.g. the Flood, parasites, rogue nations, pirates, monsterifying diseases).
  • Marriage - political, possible royalty, humanoid only.

~♪

Nation Name: Venn-Copard Multiversal Republic (VCMR)
RP Category: Exploration, War, Diplomacy
Proposed RP Idea: If the expression "Outside Context Problem" rings any bells - there's always room for even the biggest and baddest FT nations around to find themselves thrown into a situation far beyond what they've come to expect. A similarly stupidly powerful multiversal nation, however, might find something nice in, say, cooperating with the VCMR on an exploration project or assisting in a large-scale defense mission.
Kardashev Type: By both the logarithmic energy version (106 + 10*n W) and the simple "overall scale" version (galaxy -> universe -> multiverse), the VCMR would be best classified as something in the very rough vicinity of type V.
FTL?: Yes - of several varieties - plus interuniversal travel, plus FTLi hardening.
Short Nation description: The VCMR is a two-species polity of multiversal conquerors-turned-interventionists; after expanding to fill up practically all occupied space in their multiverse cluster of origin, they are only now beginning to slowly leak out and make connections throughout the greater omniverse. They are known for staying relatively unaugmented despite their exceptionally advanced technology, for their violent reactions to domineering cosmic entities or "gods", and for a singleminded focus on the supremacy of mass deployment of weaponry.
Other Notes: It's been ages since I've done anything with this setting on NS, and in all honesty I feel like I might start drifting away from the site soon. One big dramatic clash might be a good sendoff for this nation before I just archive all my stuff and continue developing the setting by myself. There's definitely some desire to throw around the real weight of a multiversal superpower on my end, though obviously since other FT nations aren't of the necessary scale, I'll have to figure out some kind of compromise, for sure.

Drifting from the site? Oh no :(
This is why we need more FT RPs.

I'll add you right now.







Reminder


Diarcesia is looking for war!

"The Pixel War: Diarcesia under the leadership of Monarchess Nady of Staur defeated an invasion of the Pixels, earning her the epithet Pixel-Slayer. Time period: Unknown, only established fact is that it started and ended during Nady's reign, which is between 2217 and 2272."




Reich of the New World Order is planning to sow chaos and create disputes! How will you respond??

"Maybe a war or dispute RP about us stealing corpses from graves or funding terrorists."




Multiversal Venn-Copard will show the galaxy its might! Can you stand up to their power?

"If the expression "Outside Context Problem" rings any bells - there's always room for even the biggest and baddest FT nations around to find themselves thrown into a situation far beyond what they've come to expect.

RP Category: Economic, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required):
Kardashev Type: Type II. (Has acces to few Type III. technologies).
FTL?: Yes, Khalyan Jump Drive - instant interstellar jump, but it takes some time for the core to recharge and to calculate jump coordinates.
Short Nation description: Highly industrialized nation, main planet is on surface unhabitable - toxic, heavy metal (industrial) pollution. Overall nation permanently controlls territory of 4 solar systems. Other solar systems are temporary colonized until resources are completely drained. Government itself has often chaotic and unpredictable behavior in international environment. Economy is highly cartelized and monopolized (cartels are subsidized and their economic behavior is very aggressive). Corruption, clientelism and elitism is common. However nation is also very socially progressive, multicultural, protects basic human rights, supports immigration, has considerably developed public education system etc.

Since you changed the sheet since I first filled it out...

Nation Name: Hell
RP Category: Economic, War, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required): We are willing to arm and train any nation fighting tyranny, for an incredibly low cost.
Kardashev Type: 1-2? The Kardashev scale is really more of a scale of how much power a nation consumes, rather than how advanced their tech is. And more advanced tech has a tendency to be more power efficient, further lowering the scale. Technological progress also isn't exactly linear. The number we have would be further skewed due to the fact that we have more fuel than we can safely use at once without damaging our power generators.
FTL?: Comms only. FTL travel just isn't possible in our canon. (Not that we'll stop others from RPing it.) We prefer travel via Einstein-Rosen bridges.
Short Nation description: FT/FanT. We happen to be the afterlife. We're not such a bad place though, we're dedicated to democracy and progress, and have an exceptionally happy, educated, and free population. We have dimensional travel. And anything involving us is bound to get weird in some fashion. Feel free to TG me with questions, I don't bite!
Other Notes: 6+ years roleplaying experience (on other sites). Kind of high RP standards. And I don't do fast-moving RPs.

Unless a bridge operates slowly enough that the total displacement divided by transit time is always less than c, isn't that just a form of discontinuous FTL anyway?

One could view it as such, though with the way an Einstein-Rosen bridge works, it isn't via increasing speed to be faster than light but via decreasing the distance traveled. Rather than going FTL, it is functionally a tunnel through space. In this tunnel through space, the velocity of those traveling remains the same; at no point do they exceed the speed of light.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

To some, this might be splitting hairs, but I do view it as entirely separate from FTL, functioning as it's own form of transit. Also, seeing as we don't have space ships (at least none yet), these bridges end up used in a somewhat different way anyways. Add to that that these bridges function as a way to travel between multiple universes, rather than just within a single one (which is important; our nation is in its own universe, rather than in the same one as Earth), Einstein-Rosen birdges have a good deal more functionality, without breaking any laws of physics.

Ehhh... do the relativistic math and they still have the problems that regular FTL implies: your worldline can go backwards on a Minkowski diagram if the two ends are moving, which is Very Definitely Not Good for causality. (Obviously, though, this doesn't matter for storytelling purposes.)

Anyway, I'd categorize it as FTL because it's a means of circumventing the lightspeed limit; it's a type 1.2 or 1.3 FTL system by the notable Landis classification (http://www.projectrho.com/stardrv.txt). That "lightspeed limit" thing is one of the big hurdles that separates hard sci-fi from anything softer, so I do think it's important to have a distinction from surpassing it versus... not. The result must be the same: you get from point A to point B in a way that a civilization stuck with torch drives and nuclear saltwater thrusters and stuff can't manage.

Say the wormhole travel is not instantaneous, for one. It could be near-instantaneous in some cases, but not actually instantaneous (and sometimes taking a few hours to travel). And if general relativity is used, as it is a curvature of spacetime, it becomes less problematic.

It'd be numerous variations of 1.2 according to that, with 1.3 being possible but impractical to actually make, but a naturally occurring phenomenon. Surprisingly, the Einstein-Rosen bridges here weren't an attempt to circumvent the lightspeed limit, as we're not using it for space travel. Rather, it was an attempt at travel between separate universes, which for my story is more important than being able to leave the solar system. I needed it to be possible for various civilizations within their own universes to travel to Earth, and to travel to each other, but I didn't need any of them to be capable of leaving a single star system within said universes. That said, this could be used for that... but such usage isn't necessary for my story. No galaxy-spanning civilizations need to exist for the setting of this nation. Just ultraterrestial civilizations (we're one of them!), none of which are even the size of Earth individually.

The nation I've got here, Hell? The explored and settled portions of our nation are only as big as Eurasia. While certainly massive, and with an excessive and ever growing population, we're much tinier than a number of FT nations.

Ehhh... do the relativistic math and they still have the problems that regular FTL implies: your worldline can go backwards on a Minkowski diagram if the two ends are moving, which is Very Definitely Not Good for causality. (Obviously, though, this doesn't matter for storytelling purposes.)

Anyway, I'd categorize it as FTL because it's a means of circumventing the lightspeed limit; it's a type 1.2 or 1.3 FTL system by the notable Landis classification (http://www.projectrho.com/stardrv.txt). That "lightspeed limit" thing is one of the big hurdles that separates hard sci-fi from anything softer, so I do think it's important to have a distinction from surpassing it versus... not. The result must be the same: you get from point A to point B in a way that a civilization stuck with torch drives and nuclear saltwater thrusters and stuff can't manage.


Say the wormhole travel is not instantaneous, for one. It could be near-instantaneous in some cases, but not actually instantaneous (and sometimes taking a few hours to travel). And if general relativity is used, as it is a curvature of spacetime, it becomes less problematic.

It'd be numerous variations of 1.2 according to that, with 1.3 being possible but impractical to actually make, but a naturally occurring phenomenon. Surprisingly, the Einstein-Rosen bridges here weren't an attempt to circumvent the lightspeed limit, as we're not using it for space travel.

Well, thank you for the explanation; the mention of actual scale and low usage of transit resources makes an assertion of Kardeshev type "I-II" all the more impressive.

The VCMR is likely far less interested in interfering with those below than it used to be.

The assertion is not a mistake. We use a LOT of power. But... our power needs are covered for all of the foreseeable future. We actually have more fuel than we can safely use, and our reserves of it are growing just shy of exponentially.

What I said there probably didn't make much sense, but it wasn't a mistake. We are gaining fuel, and at a rate that is faster than we can safely burn off.

Free Transhumanists wrote:Nation Name: The Corporate Theocracy of Free Transhumanists
RP Category: Economic, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required):
Kardashev Type: Type II. (Has acces to few Type III. technologies).
FTL?: Yes, Khalyan Jump Drive - instant interstellar jump, but it takes some time for the core to recharge and to calculate jump coordinates.
Short Nation description: Highly industrialized nation, main planet is on surface unhabitable - toxic, heavy metal (industrial) pollution. Overall nation permanently controlls territory of 4 solar systems. Other solar systems are temporary colonized until resources are completely drained. Government itself has often chaotic and unpredictable behavior in international environment. Economy is highly cartelized and monopolized (cartels are subsidized and their economic behavior is very aggressive). Corruption, clientelism and elitism is common. However nation is also very socially progressive, multicultural, protects basic human rights, supports immigration, has considerably developed public education system etc.
Other Notes: I use NS stats. I'm not a native speaker

Nation Name: Hell
RP Category: Economic, War, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required): We are willing to arm and train any nation fighting tyranny, for an incredibly low cost.
Kardashev Type: 1-2? The Kardashev scale is really more of a scale of how much power a nation consumes, rather than how advanced their tech is. And more advanced tech has a tendency to be more power efficient, further lowering the scale. Technological progress also isn't exactly linear. The number we have would be further skewed due to the fact that we have more fuel than we can safely use at once without damaging our power generators.
FTL?: Comms only. FTL travel just isn't possible in our canon. (Not that we'll stop others from RPing it.) We prefer travel via Einstein-Rosen bridges.
Short Nation description: FT/FanT. We happen to be the afterlife. We're not such a bad place though, we're dedicated to democracy and progress, and have an exceptionally happy, educated, and free population. We have dimensional travel. And anything involving us is bound to get weird in some fashion. Feel free to TG me with questions, I don't bite!
Other Notes: 6+ years roleplaying experience (on other sites). Kind of high RP standards. And I don't do fast-moving RPs.

Nation Name: The Conservancy
RP Category: War, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute (Non-violent)
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required):
Kardashev Type: Below type I, though I agree with Hell Legions that Kardashev type is not very telling by itself. There is a huge gap between fully exploiting a single star and fully exploiting an entire galaxy.
FTL?: Navigable Hyperspace type. The exact rules are described in the factbook.
Short Nation description: The state of the Camilan civilization varies greatly depending on the in-universe date. However, regardless of the specifics, the Camilan race is always ideologically disunified, and their destructive intraspecific conflicts severely hinder their advancement as a species. These conflicts often make for good inciting incidents, but in turn they make the Camilan civilization relatively weak when compared to the majority of other FT nations. Anyone wishing to do a war thread should keep this imbalance in mind.
Other Notes: I do not consider all the threads I've written in to take place in the same order they were written, nor to affect a single, contiguous timeline. Any point along (or outside) the established timeline is a viable starting point for a new thread.


I'm not actively looking for a new RP at the moment, nor do I have any ideas for one. But if anyone else thinks that the Camilans would be a good fit for their story idea, feel free to TG me or post in this thread. I certainly have time to take on at least one more.

Nation Name: The Federated Worlds of Olimpiada
RP Category: Anything
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required):
Kardashev Type: K1.6, 460 billion people, 10 worlds, 6 systems.
FTL?: Instantaneous but wildly inefficient transport, instantaneous quantum entanglement link communications
Short Nation description: A highly industrialized and crowded democracy filled with xenophobes and rampant corporatism. Imperialism is common just as an effort to get people off their planets. For humans, the nation is very free, with all of the advantages and disadvantages that accompany that. For non-humans, the nation is a good place to be deported from since that means one wasn't killed.

In roleplaying, I strive to use technology with a basis in reality, and as such pay attention to issues such as waste heat, acceleration gravity, sublight travel time, et cetera. However, I don't have anything against people who don't choose to do so, provided they aren't godmodding.

Other Notes: As stated above, I'm interested in basically any sort of thread one might propose to me, the site's been slow lately. However, war thread after war thread has gotten sort of monotonous, and open conflict doesn't interest me much unless the premise or strategic situation is somehow unique.
Hyper-commodified cocaine capitalism. Urbanized solar systems. Omnixenophobia. War economy without end. Radical body augmentation for fun and profit.

I make exactly two exceptions from a fairly strict adherence to realism, and hate them both.

Nation Name: Hiachijan
RP Category: Anything
Prosposed RP Idea (Not Required): Not primarily FT, I'll admit, but a setting on an experimental planet where numerous races are planted and sent back to the medieval age to interact with one another. FT elements involved with original empires observing from space or their technology landing and being worshipped as "godly artifacts."
Kardashev Type: Type III, on the path to Type IV
FTL?: FTL quantum-entanglement comms and fast hyperdrive travel available, convenient intergalactic warp travel is possible but expensive.
Short Nation description: Anatomically-weird society who just wanna traverse the cosmos and spread some music. Divided among different nations that usually work together in a united spacefaring effort. Our ships aren't the strongest, but they're pretty speedy.
Other Notes: I mentioned this before, but I hate overtly-serious RP's. I appreciate it when a bit of satire is permitted, and I'll happily participate in settings that are generally nonsensical in their entirety. Don't get me wrong, though. I like well-made worldbuilding and in-depth descriptions to the functionality. Will happily accept advice and TG's.

Added. By the way, for clarification, I added a note about the Kardashev scale. I may also add a reference to the thread that mathematically calculates your nation's power.







Reminder


Diarcesia is looking for war!

"The Pixel War: Diarcesia under the leadership of Monarchess Nady of Staur defeated an invasion of the Pixels, earning her the epithet Pixel-Slayer. Time period: Unknown, only established fact is that it started and ended during Nady's reign, which is between 2217 and 2272."




Reich of the New World Order is planning to sow chaos and create disputes! How will you respond??

"Maybe a war or dispute RP about us stealing corpses from graves or funding terrorists."




Multiversal Venn-Copard will show the galaxy its might! Can you stand up to their power?

"If the expression "Outside Context Problem" rings any bells - there's always room for even the biggest and baddest FT nations around to find themselves thrown into a situation far beyond what they've come to expect. A similarly stupidly powerful multiversal nation, however, might find something nice in, say, cooperating with the VCMR on an exploration project or assisting in a large-scale defense mission."




Great Aletia is looking for love! We need to get the wedding bells ready!

"My Crown Prince does need a wife..."




The Hell Legions will train the armies of democracy. Fight for liberty! Freedom is at stake!

"We are willing to arm and train any nation fighting tyranny, for an incredibly low cost."




Hiachijan wants to control destinies and empires with you! Observe, study, create and be worshipped, as you control the history of an entire world!

"Not primarily FT, I'll admit, but a setting on an experimental planet where numerous races are planted and sent back to the medieval age to interact with one another. FT elements involved with original empires observing from space or their technology landing and being worshipped as 'godly artifacts.'"




Luxcentra wants to put our armies to the test, or perhaps just be a hub of commerce for your economy.

"I want to either trade with you, or be invaded."
