Gallion Posted July 21, 1999 Report Share Posted July 21, 1999 To those Commanders that DeSylva added to the current e-mail RP saga:It would be a good idea or each of ye to read up on what has been happening. Some info your character would not be aware of.I think DeSylva mentioned something about how and when he would write you all into the current endeavor. IOW I do not believe that you all have post priveleges yet. That is DeSylva's arena, it is up to him to grant.{rp} Besides, freshmeat is always needed {/rp}TTFN and welcome to the Motley ------------------ Cmdr Gallion GCV-Graf Spee, Corsair Wing Wraith Fleet [This message has been edited by Gallion (edited 07-21-99).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Somerset Posted July 21, 1999 Report Share Posted July 21, 1999 I doubt that the RP will be over anytime soon, Foss. 450ish messages might seem like alot to read, but some of them are extremely short. You'll probably be able to breeze through about half to two-thirds of it easily. I think we'll all enjoy the extra company in our motley. ------------------ Cmdr.

Gallion Posted July 24, 1999 Report Share Posted July 24, 1999 Casting a vote:Keep new RP on the forum...for now at least.

David Foss Posted July 24, 1999 Report Share Posted July 24, 1999 I would say keep it on the forum completely. That way we don't have to worry about a mailing list. Besides...

Maxamillian Posted July 24, 1999 Report Share Posted July 24, 1999 Although I'm not a active part of the RP yet and don't deserve a vote, I think that the forum is the best.

twobombs Posted July 24, 1999 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 1999 Just got feedback from some of the play-by-email RP people, and they give me the idea that even they think of joining in on the Forum, since it's (quote) kind of the home of RP, (and another); it (the Forum) is filtered.We're interested in getting as much people involved in this new /RP thing, without stepping to much on (some big) toes I am very happy that I got this type of feedback, and I would like see a thread opened up that starts the /RP.one vote for Christmas - Eve 3003, like the episode of 'Space, above and beyond' ------------------ End of subspace transmission, Cmdr.

Ben Somerset Posted July 25, 1999 Report Share Posted July 25, 1999 December 3003 sounds fine to me. By that time, whatever occurs in the e-mail RP should be done, and all of the ships that may get banged up will be back in working order. Two questions though. 1) Will the War still be going on then? 2) When do we start? ------------------ Cmdr. Benjamin Somerset GCV Swiftsure Prime Flt.

Guest IlKhan Michael Wolf Posted July 25, 1999 Report Share Posted July 25, 1999 Hello, is there an any way for a newbie like me to learn more about the rp? Have read the posts here and am interrested. Any assist in this is appreciated greatly, thanx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallion Posted July 25, 1999 Report Share Posted July 25, 1999 That is what we need to determine. I have several ideas that may or may not fly. Not "scripts", just very general "possibilities". DeSylva: Check ye mail. Ristar: Check ye mail also.Since there is not a "plot" already, I think that the Intell assests (read ISS, JD, and whatever the Insurgents have) would be the logical way to start this endeavor. If anybody else has any ideas, let me/us know.My Four Bits minus twoTTFN------------------ Cmdr Gallion GCV-Graf Spee, Corsair Wing Wraith Fleet "Run Silient, Run Deep" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Wallin Posted July 25, 1999 Report Share Posted July 25, 1999 Don't let things get too scripted. The reason the last forum RP EVENT was such a great success was due to the LACK of control. When it all started as a simple transfer of a spy (Tringad) back to the ISS, NONE of what happened, other than my idea for the Gamm's coming to town, was known to anyone.No one had even thought that the Insurgents would swoop in and save the day let alone fight along side GALCOM.If you stick to the same non-structure, it will be as fun as the last.Ron/Akira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Lindsey Posted July 26, 1999 Report Share Posted July 26, 1999 RL=Real Life RP=RoleplayLast thoughts; the last RP had a RL basis for it's beginning. Tringad (RL and aka William Ramsay) was discovered as a spy.Chavik's (RP) attempt to reurn Tringad (RP) to DeSylva (RP) started the whole thing. It went great from there as Ron said. I really had no idea when I (RL) decided that I (RP) should return Tringad (RP) that the thing would get that huge. It was a blast. Here we seemingly have nothing to crank it up. Polaris is the theatre correct? and the Gamms are the enemy (well they always are but I meant the current one in this )? Heck that's enough if someone gets brave enough to post. Everyone has expressed interest and would jump right in I think. *G*Hopefully no one will DIE in the email RP. So long as the commander survives ships can be re-christened. The current email RP is going to to take a while. So crank it up IMHO. And this thread is taking rather long to load. I usually don't complain but there is lot's of text here.

Gallion Posted July 27, 1999 Report Share Posted July 27, 1999 hehehe...I hear ye Akira. I am not refering to a script(s). Just several loose possiblities that may or may not arrise based upon what we do or don't do. At the propose time (DEC, 3003) that this new RP endeavor is to commence, GALCOM is realing from the significant/massive losses incurred from a plethora of engagements (see DeSylva's timeline at his w/p). The way I understand the BC universe (albeit in a twisted sorta way ), GALCOM cannot gather a large enough force to much more than defend what they have already. IOW, unable to go knocking (and possibly kick) at the Gams front door. But then again you are also correct Akira about the last RP; non-structure was/is best.

twobombs Posted July 29, 1999 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 While reading one of the 2 new threads here, an idea crossed my mind. We are using hyperjumps, right ? They allow us to travel from one part of space to the other, right ? According to Einstein we should into trouble with time somehow.... So while we where contemplating about at what date we sould exactly start, we could start it with a time/space incident/anomaly, it has several atvantages: 1) it can add vessles/crews that where gone, or assumed blown sky-high. 2) it adds another dimension (litarly) in this /RP thing, of course we should not take it too far, the SC might not want that 3) The time/space distortion could also make it possible for the hit-and-run team to be more effective. (i'm assuming now that the incident/anomaly was an artificially created) One guess who made it Any pro's, con's ? ------------------ End of subspace transmission, Cmdr.

Gallion Posted July 30, 1999 Report Share Posted July 30, 1999 quote:...3) The time/space distortion could also make it possible for the hit-and-run team to be more effective...Interesting concept twobombs. There is something already in the game that is simulair I believe; the HSD artifact. Not quite the same thing ye is talking about but then again I could be wrong.To date, I do not think that any RP action has included an artfact hunt/recovery. That would take approval from way up the food chain. There are some of us that have pushed some technology to the extreme (hmmm, Akira, me, Rattler, etc. ) already.The way I understand it, RP mirrors what ever the latest version can/does do with minor player technical enhancement goodies. Though a good idea twobombs, I must disagree. What you discribe would unbalance the RP and open a technical/theoretical can of worms too.TTFN ------------------ Gallion GCV Graf Spee Commander Corsair Wing =Wraith Fleet= "Run Silient, Run Deep"[This message has been edited by Gallion (edited 07-30-99).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Somerset Posted July 30, 1999 Report Share Posted July 30, 1999 I must agree with Gallion. Moving into that kind of territory moves into realms of theoretical physics that we could only 'technobabble' our way through. I think we should stick to known territory for this RP.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest Ron Wallin Posted July 30, 1999 Report Share Posted July 30, 1999 Einstein's theory of relativity only applies to objects moving at or near the spead of light. When you enter hyperspace, you cease to exist in normal space. Thusly, all relativity issues also cease to exist. Anyway, you're ship would be reduced to a single stream of molecules before you ever got near the speed of light.I'm closing this already bloated thread. Discussion is over. If you want to start another RP then just start it. Don't start it with ANY firm idea of where it's going, just create an incedent at the begining that you think would draw everyone in and allow others to contribute.Just remember, you can't start a war between GALCOM and the Insurgents. You can't put words in other's mouths. You can only write from the perspective of your Cmdr. or crew. If you need some interaction then get with someone outside the forum and plan it. Good luck; Cmdr. Akira will be gun's a blazing if you give him the chance (or nukes, one never really knows )Ron/Akira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
