RP2 (second Roleplaying game) - 2 players wanted

[Googlie]

From the revived RP1 thread the following have expressed interest in playing in a second game:

Hydro
Qantaga
SITS
Christmann - Hive
Scipio Centaurus - Morgan

So 2 more players are needed.

(Dilithium Dad - if you would like to play in this one I'd be happy to CMN it)

The original thread for the revived RP1 is:

I am pleased to see that this second game is close to inception.

I just saw that SITS requested the Gaians on the other thread.

I will be happy to take whichever faction is left over after all other factions have been chosen.

Just one note: You may wish to visit the thread Googlie has linked above before signing up for this game. We are looking for players to truly role-play their faction personalities and agendas "to the hilt" (as Googlie says). The focus on this game will be playing as opposed to winning .

Affirmative.

Anyone notice an error in my Agenda/Aversions post? The UoP’s aversion is fundi, not wealth. Oops. This doesn’t change my faction aversion/no pact matrix, though.

Rules: I’d suggest using Tau Ceti’s rules that Qantaga kindly posted, but leaving the following legal: reverse engineering (except probe to rover), DW upgrades, and stockpile insert after military unit. OK? No? Chime in if you have an opinion.

RP Games (to keep the terminology straight – one of the great joys in life is nitpicking, after all…)

* RP1 is likely dead.

* RP2 is full and will hopefully start in the near future (see Googlie’s post near the beginning of the other thread).

* RP3 is filling up:
Gaians - SITS
Hive – Christmann
Morgan – Scipio Centaurus
Qantaga?
Others?

Christman – if you are Hive you may not have a pact with a faction running democracy since this is your aversion. You could have a treaty with them, unless they are the PKs, in which case you could only have truce. If you have a pact and then that faction goes democratic then you must downgrade from a pact to a lesser diplomatic state (e.g. – treaty, truce, or war).

That sounds like great fun - I'd certainly be willing to take the PKs or the University if there is still an opening....

[Christmann]

Just for the record... What is reversed engineering and what are the benefits of having stockpile energy after units in the build queue?

[Qantaga]

mark13, welcome aboard!

Hydro, a question for you: In reading the other thread, it looks like Googlie and I both thought you were up for this game (RP3 by your correct identification of game names), in addition to the game already filled (RP2). However, I didn't see you list your own name in your last post. So, are you going to play in the newest game (RP3) or in just RP2?

If Hydro is in, we just need one more player. If not, we still need two players.

Christmann, I am sure there are others much more qualified to give you an explanation of Reverse Engineering and Stockpile Energy, but I will give you a rather brief explanation:

Reverse Engineering means that you can design units using chassis, weapons, armor, special abilities once you have captured a unit or been gifted a unit by another faction without having to discover the technology that unlocks that design feature.

Stockpile Energy in this game is supposed to award Energy Credits for any unused mineral production after the completion of a turn. In reality, it is a bug in the game that awards the credits at the start of the turn. So, you can get quite a significant boost to your energy credit reserves by placing Stockpile Energy in the build queues following the production of a former, crawler or military unit.

I have experience role-playing the PK's so I would like to take that faction. Gaians would be second choice. Morgan is already taken, I see. I would have trouble role-playing the momentum factions.

[Arima]

I'd like to play as PK, University, or Gaia if there is an opening. (in that preference)

[Hydro]

Qantaga,

I don't want to be greedy, so if someone else wants in then I will bow out of RP3. I would be willing to fill in a hole (like Googlie in RP2), if there is one.

Here is how RP3 stands:
Gaians - SITS
Hive - Christmann
Morgan - Scipio Centaurus
UoP - Mark 13
PKs - DD
Qantaga - ??

Arima - it looks like your picks were taken. Would either the Spartan or Believers be OK? You get first dibs on either since you threw your hat into the ring. Qantaga said any faction is fine with him (I think).

[Arima]

I'll take Sparta then. Thank you.

[Qantaga]

Very good, then. It looks like we are all set. I am happy to try my hand at role-playing Sister Miriam and her enlightened followers.

[mark13]

Enlightened? Hah! The path to true enlightenment is through knowledge - something your backward followers seem not to understand! Prepare to be crushed!!

[Christmann]

Ah yes!

Fight your petty little wars and when the time is right you'll all be assimilated by the mighty concrete-communistic Hive!!

Resistance is futi... wait a sec...!

[Qantaga]

Ah, the misguided beliefs and petty arrogance of those who cloister in their ivory towers and try to find solace in tomes of "knowledge".

You will find sooner or later that the one true path to fulfillment and peace is through faith and the wisdom that accompanies it. We hold only the desire that all citizens of Planet may one day have the scales fall from their eyes and realize that one's spiritual life can not be neglected.

We offer the olive branch, even in the face of hostile threats, and are willing to share the wisdom of the sacred path with all people. However, we will defend our beliefs should they prove threatened by the unenlightened.

Yes indeed, this should be great fun!
