Who's betting that it's actually Terezi pestering him, pretending to be Gamzee pretending to be Terezi, as a way of stating that she knows about Gamzee?Nah, not unless Gamzee kills her afterwards. This is Hivebent. Or whatever it's called.
--and havens for cliques of socially inept mouthbreathers.Well, that's an interesting insult!
The ones with hardcoded combat systems --Though, I understand the theory of "softcoding", I really don't understand why you would want an entirely soft-coded combat system.
If there weren't stone two feet below ground level, I would love to dig it out and start an IRL fort.Great! What kind of stone?
There was already a DF MUD but, as follows the definition of MUD, it focused heavily on game mechanics over RP and never got to a playable state.Dang. And there I was thinking that DF would encourage RP friendlier mechanics.
As for application processes...One big thing they provide the admins with, too, is a way to gauge your commitment. It's frustrating as a player to welcome a newbie in, work them into your plots, and then have them totally vanish without a trace after a couple weeks. If someone's started to get invested in their character, they're less likely to do that. Also, the app process--which usually has at least one iteration of "Hmm, looking over your application, it might be better if you had X instead of Y, could we work on changing that?"--helps give people an idea of how well you play with others. People who get fussy over that are more likely to rage when RP doesn't go their way.Yeah, it kinda irks me every time I see that. Someone turns up, new character.. Logs in once... Then vanishes!
Method I propose: We do call dibs on something we want, as in systems/specie, and if the rest agrees, solo work.Well, that sounds okay, though what I was hoping to do was create an open civilization (perhaps with a few subcultures seeing as they'd be spread across the galaxy), which then people could then add their ideas to as long as it doesn't break my initial idea.
Also, note that civilizations (cultures) <> species.Well, yes. If there are ~200 stars, we're going to need a large number of inhabitants... 5 species may work, but 5 civilizations certainly would not.
Well, I like hard sci fi, but I like it diamond hard so I'll think before jumping in.If I am participating in this, then I'd quite like what I do to be "diamond" hard! ...If only so that I could boast about being able to keep it strait and narrow.
Woah! let's not get ahead of ourselves here!Sounds like a good idea!
I like the swapping idea, it would allow people to develop ideas by adding some of their own.Yeah, I quite agree.
It's only one possibility for the how the setting could be used. We could also go the OA route and use it as the basis for stories.Well, you said a majority of 200, so that would mean there's going to be ~100. Or more.
And define 'some'.
(Although most of them are M-class main sequence dwarfs which {at best!} would just have debris belts, so that will probably cut it down a bit.)Challenge accepted.
Thanks, didn't know that.Well, hopefully, in a system where RP holds precident, the admins won't power trip as much.
That's the main reason I stopped playing MU*'s. Power tripping admins...
Do you mean something like a Dyson Sphere? Because, that won't work for a variety of reasons, not the least among them being that 25 light years would have other star systems contained in the bubble.No, I don't think he meant a Dyson Sphere!
I never really go into the whole Hellmoo thing. Really super detailed stuff, just not my style. Also not very rp.Yeah, far too many MU*s I've seen have RP based around their statistics system...
