Introduction
Welcome to the OOC world building thread From Here on Out! Not wanting to start from the beginning, this RP begins on a world that has many similar characteristics as Earth, such as technology, climate, and people, but is located in a far off galaxy during an economic depression. The nations on the planet Solaria are on the verge of conflict as economies collapse and resources slowly become scarce. Civilians around the world have begun rioting in the streets as the unemployment rates in most countries ascend fifty percent waiting for a solution, whether it’s a fresh, powerful leader or the complete overhaul of the government. Below can be found the information on the planet, Solaria, as well as the calendar that will be used to keep track of time. Unfortunately, anything that is possible on Earth is also possible on Solaria, including, but not limited to wars, revolutions, and terrorism. The future is not as far away as it appears, war may be right around the corner.
Rules
- The Democratic Federation region members only unless otherwise contacted.
- No Out Of Character posts in the In Character forum, it causes confusion.
- Include the proper RP date somewhere in each IC post so other nations know when an action occurs.
- There are no requirements on In Character posts and messages, but please put some effort into your IC posts.
- Improper grammar is unacceptable, including applications. If you can't type English properly, you may be removed from this RP.
- This is not a rule but a very strong suggestion. Don't do messages for one thing. By this, I mean don't just write a paragraph responding to an email. Do multiple sections each with a different purpose.
- If you are quoting someone in the IC, only quote the part that you are commenting on.
- If you're sending a letter you need to write it out, and include an encryption level.
- No unjustified war, this means that you must state your war goal as well as having a reason in your declaration of war.
- Keep use of Weapons of Mass Destruction to an extreme minimum. You should rarely, if ever, use them against a player.
- No apocalyptic weaponry, this is a MT role play with some PMT aspects.
- Let war build up before it breaks out. This applies to players mostly. When some guy puts a toe onto your land, don't declare war.
- No godmoding for active nations. If a nation is inactive for one week, the OP or Co-OP may then act in it's place.
- Meta gaming is an absolute no. Never make a post in the IC based on information that your nation is not supposed to know, ex. encrypted messages unless code is broken or future conversation in the OOC.
