I'm stalking Raidne. who I am begining to think meant Raiden and then just rolled with it.

Wait. I need to update that other thread that I'm supposed to be GM'ing, don't I? Very subtle. Also, I legitimately picked "Raidne". I like sirens. I wanted to grow up to be one back when I was adorably small. Also, I'm so flattered! I've got a stalker! <3

Or, wait, no, I should be horrified, shouldn't I? </3

The tier one thing: (responding to JonxlatheLion):

I'm potentially okay with it. I've got a few questions, however:

[b]1.[/b] What are you going to struggle against as tier 1? We don't have any other tier 1's, so that really only leaves you with dealing with internal/moral issues (or maybe I'm just not thinking of something). I am willing to roll up a tier 1 to play against/with you (I might do that anyway, just so everybody's comfortable [see 3]). 

Alternate question: What's your goal? When you consider that our main plot hook is a library of universal knowledge set up by a long-dead tier 1 whose AI is essentially capable of granting wishes via technological means, what's your civ going to do if they already [i]have[/i] that knowledge, or at least a great part of it?
[b]2.[/b] Tier 1's are something like the Ancients from the Stargate-verse, or the Forerunners from the Halo-verse, or the Kobollians from the Battlestar Galactica-verse. One way to play them is mythical. If you do that, you'd have to look into the other civilizations and make sure that, somehow, you'd be able to fit into their mythology. Being a tier 1, you'd have been [i]noticed[/i], and that sense of being around for a while is going to come from other players as much as it is yourself. Hmm - that's not a question, that's just a comment. Oh, well.
[b]3.[/b] One of the biggest concerns (this is, in fact, what blew up the RP last time) is OP-ness. If you've got the ability to destroy planets, what's to stop you from pulling it out to win every war at the last second? Now, you've stated your peaceful intentions, but I'd still like to see some thought put into not being OP beyond just being peaceful (after all, what's to stop you from changing your mind)?

Answer those satisfactorily, and you can make a tier 1.

If you other players have got issues with what I've said, PM me.
