[quote=Sigma] Was gonna wait for the OOC, but it might be the best time to ask. Jeddaven, would ravenous space bugs raise any objections? [/quote] I demand these space bugs. I'm interested but have to knit pick one thing. We won't reach subluminal flight by 2050 by any stretch of the imagination. :gray Definitely interested though. [quote=Jeddaven] I'm back. Apologies for having been gone so long. My school didn't really inform us about exams until the last minute, so I ended up cramming and forgetting that I had posted this. Now that those are done (and that I've been informed by Pepperm1nts that people are interested), I'll be able to remain far more active.In regards to the suggestions so far-I definitely agree that, at minimum, there should be a sort of galactic 'congress', if you will-a time every so often during while major nations (and perhaps corporate entities, if they are influential enough) meet to discuss political, economic, and social issues, and similar sorts of things.I'm also currently looking into ways I can nudge everyone towards interacting with others, outside of making some big bad villain. I'm trying to find natural events that could cause problems. [/quote] With relatively large amounts of experience GMing these types of RPs I'd happily share some of my plot devices if you want them :) --------------------------------------- Nation thoughts: I have three I've never gotten to fully RP. The Free State, The Technocracy and the All Party. I'll likely see what other people do and bring on of those three, adapted to the setting and with the intention of filling any variety void that may exist.
