I mean, hacking and turning the robot against its allies is fun and all too, I suppose. Just like meat bags have their pros and cons.


Again, I have other things in plan besides hacking, especially people with CPU brains :P

Alright, because I'm an indecisive bastard, I'm redoing the co-GMs:

@WilsonTurner: Still a co-GM (no need to worry mate)
@RomanAria: After talking to her, I've decided to replace her with @LHG100 since he unquestionably has more knowledge of what inspired the RP.

However, I will still be listening Aria as someone with power in the RP since she has the science knowlegde that will have to come into play and I trust her not to be scold me too badly for not knowing that a cold plasma fusion nuclear warp engine time driver can't exist

@ClocktowerEchos... Don't count on it love. I thought that was rudimentary knowledge that cold fusion doesn't work, or have you forgotten Fleischmann?
Oh Wait.
That was a joke wasn't it?

Also, squad sheet will be done soonishly,

I am new at online roleplaying and I want to play this. Platoon size is roughly how many men? I could do an Antarctic country that specializes in technology with the downside of being terrible fighters and greedy for raw resources.

Random insult at GM, right?

Platoons are anywhere between 15-ish to 40-ish irl but I might hard cap it at around 30.
Can I ask what's with the Antarctic nation? This isn't a traditional NRP, its a squad base RP with roots of a NRP. There is not conquest victory and no raw resources to be gained. The only goal is to survive and try to find what the hell is going on at Endymion. This is also space-based not earth-based so unless you want your guys coming from an arctic planet, being an Antarctic nation makes no sense.
As for the insult part, go reread the OP and the rules.

@ClocktowerEchos If it's still possible I'd be interested in taking part you idiot.

I've a few questions though, you mention this linking to other RP's in the past, specifically with the races. I myself haven't participated in such RP's so can I create my own race and if so what limits/boundaries are there?

Additionally you state that we should have approximately a platoon of men under our command, mostly grunts (i.e. red shirts) and then some extra guys to be our actually important characters. How large is a platoon in this instance?

@Karos If you read the post two above your own, he says:
"Platoons are anywhere between 15-ish to 40-ish irl but I might hard cap it at around 30."
You can ask him for special dispensation to have more or fewer soldiers; I have 70 soldiers, but considering that each of my soldiers is less than 6 inches tall and not particularly strong, I don't get much of an advantage.

@RomanAria Yeah saw that when I was re-reading everything. So if that's the limit is there also a limit on the number of named characters that I've simply missed somewhere?

@Karos In the OP it just says that "every character can't be a special snowflake." I'd say rule-of-thumb might be two special snowflakes, as in, fleshed out important unique characters, per unit, but I'd imagine you could assign names to the NPCs in your unit if you need to.

@RomanAria I was gonna probably have three special characters each of them leading a squad of ten men within my platoon.

Yeah, you can create your own race and stuff for this if you haven't been on too many other scifi RPs, my only requirements are for them to be logical and balanced and showing signs of maturity.

@RomanAria Yeah saw that when I was re-reading everything. So if that's the limit is there also a limit on the number of named characters that I've simply missed somewhere?


There is no limit on named characters if you mean the people who are really fleshed out, but I'd imagine trying to RP a squad of 5 different characters would be hard enough, much less 20 some

The named character thing is for the people who are important/you don't want me to mess with too much/"main characters", the rest of the grunts can names or designations, but they aren't the stars of your platoon per say.

@ClocktowerEchos Okay sounds good, would I be able to do a race based on the Tau or even just play as the Tau? I think it'd be kind of cool to lead an elite force of battle suit wearing Shas'ui through the space station.

@KarosTry to put your own personal spin on the Tau and make sure that there is a counterbalance to the elite mech suits and you're golden
