Help Needed for an Idea

[Malcolm Adeyemi]

This has a lot of big words that I would usually take as an insult since I don't understand them. I have nothing to contribute here. If it's fun I'll do it...that's as cerebral as I get!

I truly love this idea, kind of a god modding universe idea but you can only do it so much because of the points.

And would we get points as the story progresses

I dunno if points are too rigid for it, actually... Basically, the admins decide how much NPCs will give you and people decide individually how much they give you. You can take these resources and make your way in the world. The only limit is how much of any material it takes to make something i.e. you need one kilogram of metal x to make a particular weapon, for example. It'll operate like real life but in the future, and it's roleplaying so you can't die.

Thankee-sai for the sentiment! If you have an idea don't hesitate to suggest one!

We also need artists to do original artwork we can use. But that'll come after we actually have a universe to inhabit. I figure we'll start out on one colony world and its surrounding two moons and add to it. Of course, you're free to travel beyond that but the main static roleplay will be on this colony. There'll also be a forum for 'no fixed location' for travellers and people who can't qualify a location for a fixed forum to roleplay in. The colony itself will be basically like present-day earth in terms of population density to allow for maximum roleplay variety on the one planet.

So instead of points we buy raw materials with credits or whatever and then use them to make things?

You get a bilge pump

I put in a gazelle carcass...

Credits, dollars, real, xorbos, whatever the currency of the nation you're in is.

[Malcolm Adeyemi]

All right, I'll stop making fun. It's clearer to me now and I like the idea. As long as there's a cap on things it should be very fun.

What kind of rates of pay are we talking about here, or will that vary across profession, level, etc?

It'll vary across profession, pay grade, in fact it'll vary from player to player and you'll be paid in whatever currency your employer deals in. if he's a player, your pay is dependant on him and he's responsible for your benefits too.

This is a great idea when we going to put it into action

Well, for a start I need everyone to start populating this universe with ideas; space stations, buildings, cities, people, THINGS. Anything. A corporation that bottles baby oil and a government branch that regulates the sale of cheese. Stuff like that. Gimme ideas. GO.

Also, I'd ask that any and all ideas be original at least in name and that you name anything you put up, like a race or weapon. You don't have to name planets.

And I need INTEREST. Before we start up an entire forum we need people to play on it.

So we could say that humans are a client race for another hierarchy?

Yep. My original idea is that they're extinct, but we could do anything. Shall we say they're endangered?

[Malcolm Adeyemi]

Yep. My original idea is that they're extinct, but we could do anything. Shall we say they're endangered?

So we've evolved to the point where we can create anything?

[Rennan Protheus]

Yup and then go on to say that whats left of the human race is a client race for a group known as the talon hierarchy.

[Lance Krol]

We're not in a post-scarcity society, no, but in terms of gameplay the edge of space is the limit. Suggest an idea! If the community likes it and it seems plausible, it's canon.

And the Talon Hierarchy are aliens?
EDIT: Going away for a bit, tell your friends about this idea, send them to this thread, start building a universe! GO GO GO!

Yup and we lost earth to a failed synthetic experiment, it grew concious and took earth and humans have been living on worlds belonging to the Talon hierarchy scince trying to take back earth.
