What is a RPG thread?

[[LordLMP]]

He created a Yahoo Club for Alpha Centauri RPG, but in far future at ala startrek like its seems. Rather play a RPG in the 24th or early 25th where the factions are highly advanced, have Gravships and Singulirity Lasers, have a huge space race among factions, fighting on the moons and so on. Maybe fighting off a Proginator invasion after one of Proginator faction succeeded in contacting their Home Fleet or something.
But inter-system/inter-planatery is not really an Alpha Centauri genre. I would think humanity on Planet would Transcend before colonizing bunch of worlds.

...maybe they build a ship to go check if earth is still around? if nuclear wasted before and society rebuilding, Factions may send armies to conquer Earth

I think there's something in the post-Transcend excerpt about some of Your denizens going off to recolonise Earth and sift through the post-nuclear apocalyptic ashes - post-nanominiaturisation technology level springs to mind for some reason.
Oh and by the way - P-R-O-G-E-N-I-T-O-R.
Pedantic I know.

[[LordLMP]]

Indeed Transcended humans go to colonize/fix up earth. And Proginator would still be around. Planet in SMAC is the sixth Manifold, no? where is the other 5? and are there more then 6 manifold projects which the Proginator as done?

[[LordLMP]]

Don't like Chiron Chronicles?

-LordLMP

[DarkCloud]

Or the Spartan Chronicles?

[Hydro]

OK, I'm a little dense. What does RPG stand for? Is a RPG a composite multi-author storyline like Chiron Chronicles, or SC?

RPG = Role Playing Game

Rather than narrate a story from different perspectives you stick to one role/character/faction and play it to the hilt - acting and reacting to what others are posting.

Can be somewhat 'moderated' in order to resolve conflicts of interpretation, battles, tech advances etc.

No actual smac/x game is played (except in your mind)

Can be fun, albeit it also can get a little disorganized (or be subjct to a dictatorial moderator)

Well, if you join Chiron Chronicles and choose one the available factions, then we'll have to tell whats currently going when asked. good idea to read the previous posts, admin and the old game posts from Sept to Dec.

current available factions are:

-Gaians (They may get into some Psi Wars with Antimind(Evil Planetmind) and Cult. They part of Chiron Alliance of the Good Guy Factions :P)
-Believers (They have many bases, may get into war with Cult and so on. They are bit behind in tech, but they make it up in good military size and Industry. They are participating in the Planetary Council for first time. Believers have more room to play with, since nothing as seriously been done with them)
-Hive (Have have many bases and large military of cheap units, some Good ones. They are bit behind in tech, but more advance than the Believers. Currently at war with Free Drones, which at the moment the war ain't very active. They are at war with Spartans too, but can't reach them because of Free Drones and PKs in the way mainly. They been to some nasty wars, but they are good in recovering from the damage quickly it seem. Never been played really)
-Peacekeepers (they been played, but player dissapeared they are currently into two seperate sub-factions. Pro-Peace and Pro-War. The Pro-War PKs may get into a huge war with the Spartans. They are part of the Chiron Alliance and Lal just recently got re-elected for third time as Planetary Governor. PKs have the second or third biggest naval force on Planet too)
-Free Drones (they splitted off from Hive about 5-8 years after planetfall and were at war with them ever sence. They currently have a Blockade setup with help of spartans and secret help from Pirates against the Hive agression. They have a strong Industry, so they can maintain a strong military. Their military is mainly comprise of Cheap units, but they do have Strong Quality ones, especially at the Blockade. They are stuck between the Hive and Spartans, and currenty friends with Spartans, which they want to stay that way. Not interested in two front war. They have one sea base and operate a small navy at the moment. Oh, and Planetmind don't seriously like them much, do to their pollution.)
-Morgan Industries (they are involve a lot throughout the game, but never been played. Currently allies with University. They were at war with the Data Angels almost a decade before. So tensions between them not the best. They are also in a "trade war" with the Nautilus Pirates.

We do need more players who can get involve the story much. The Planetrary Council aspect at the moment is dying :/

Okay, I'd be interested in the Hive or the Believers, depending on their situations. Please fill me in on them. A few questions:

If I join, will I have to keep track of all of my units and bases for each "turn" on a map, or just have a general idea of what's going on in my empire?
