They sound pretty cool to me, really.

Thank you. But we all know that something without stimulation ends up in stagnation. The Technocracy cannot be alone all the time. So, if @The Patriarch is willing, we can have a counterpart civilization to contest and rival the Technocracy, maybe an underground Ratman city-state called Shoden or something. Both sides hate each other beyond unpardonable levels, and the warzones of tunnels and caverns keep the Technocrat Military in tip-top shape, and also keep the Ratman population to relatively manageable levels for both sides. Ancient relics of power hum and whisper from the depths of Shoden, artifacts which the knowledge-loving Technocracy wants to take, study and exploit. The Ratmen know of a future beyond the dark and the cramped and desire a way towards the surface. But they no longer fight for these reasons alone. Trespasses against the other since first contact have piled up into a mountain of hate. At this point, they kill simply because they can. In addition, both sides have to contend with troglodytes, trolls and the occasional angry spirit or some other magical being locked up underground since the dawn of creation. Yeah, this is coming together pretty nicely.

It's... still alive actually even though not many ideas have been discussed about it mostly due to people not having any... let me see if I can find the link to the chat we were using, we really need to use it more.

I can also privately give the password once I see anyone else's opinion on that. ^^;

You'd need to actually talk to people before getting permission to make an RP though.
