[OOC] Void of the Stars: A sci-Fi Nation Roleplay

[darkwolf687]

I would reserve the British again (surprise, surprise, surprise xD) but I'd likely be making EVEN MORE changes lol

[null123]

Im mean revive it, not wipe the slate, and start from where we left off.

[null123]

I'm calling BS if the Supremes can somehow block or supress the Equestrians magic without having ever met them before.

[Sukui]

This is getting better.

After ages, there's finally an impending war where neither side is a sole single empire. Maybe a 2v2.

[null123]

Also honestly I don't think the Makudan doesn't care about the Triarians motives, they just want to
A. Weaken the Equestrians
or
B.Steal magical knowledge from them

[Sukui]

Or do something based off Magical Studies Report No. 49599. (check page 26 of IC to see the report)

[null123]

Yeah I don't think we should have that be true, it just creates a little to much craziness. If we need something attacking everybody I have a lot of weird shit from Equestria's past to do that with. Also I think the Makudan will loose there magic before the Equestrians do.

You call BS whenever something can block your unexplainable power that is used in everything because you have far too much dependence on it.

From the way I see it, and from what you have said, magic is tied to the presence of Faust, yes? Faust gifts them with magic, and so they can use magic. However, if there is an alternate presence, like that of a Supreme, then it could push Faust's presence from you. It would severe the connection, and you wouldn't control the power.

You are a giant empire, and yet you still call BS whenever something doesn't work the way you want it to. These are, like I said, practically demigods. Omnipresent beings tied to physical forms, and so their omnipresence is only around that physical form, that physical anchor. So, if another physical being enters that area which the Supremes' omnipresence stretches to, then the connection with Faust will be gone. In a ship filled with Supremes, there will be no chance of Faust's influence.

[null123]

Faust created magic and then put in the Equestrian spirits/souls. There magic is bound to there soul, which is bound to there body. Yes Equestrian magic was created by Faust, but it does not require a connection with her to use it.

^ This

Its not our fault if the Equestrians made themselves so dependent on magic that they would fall from grace without it, so...

They will, by themselves eventually if the report gets more and more spread to the populace.

Then they will build a huge army manually and try to lose other races' magic.

That is, if my liking to that scenario still stands until the time when it is ready to be executed into the RP.

[null123]

Darkwolf found a legitimate way to block(most) spells.

You are just " they are teh most awesome demigods so they block your magikz"

[WilsonTurner]

False, I can spell better than that, nor have I ever said they are awesome. They simply think themselves as the "Supremes" since the universe was young when they were young.

You say BS every time something blocks your magic, and you go around it, and yet you've got a permanent grudge against Rogue because he did the exact same thing.

[null123]

Not exactly true, at first when I thought that Darkwolf was directly controlling magic, I was angry. Then he explained and he had total legit method. You do not, your just blocking it without reason, or without any legitimate way to. Rogue also had bullshitty way that weren't legitimate at all, that and I hate him because he acted like a asshole to anyone who criticized what he did without trying to explain himself, that and he has a Superiority Complex. I really hate people who have that.

[WilsonTurner]

I'm not misinterpreting your posts. It's the characters, the speech.

For Supremes, coming up to someone, giving them a short bow and saying, "We need your help, in any way possible, oh great one!" would be considered extremely disrespectful.

However, if someone were to come up to them, and do this:
They come up to the Supreme, bow from the waist for a moderate period of time, and allow for the Supreme to bow back. Whoever bows first is showing greeting to the person, while bowing deeper than the other is a gesture of respect or admiration.

Once the bowing is done, the person who approached would say,
"Greetings, [honorific title, or name, depending on situation]. I have a request for [that one individual, his clan, his family, his branch of government, military, etc., or species-nation in general] to consider."

Then the Supreme would hesitate for a moment, and respond with something along the lines of, "I'm listening."
And then the person requesting something would go on, laying out what they are requesting, and then a preemptive offering of some kind, whether 10 bars of gold, or a chocolate bar, and then a payment after that. If the payment has yet to be arranged, one says just that.

That is Supremes' social way of requesting something from someone. Knowing that after I just put it in OOC, would, of course, be considered cheating. You'd have to negotiate a deal for a diplomat to stay behind and learn the Supreme ways in order to communicate and negotiate properly with them.

[null123]

You could have said that before this started.

[darkwolf687]

Why? What's wrong with him doing it this way? Its cultural, its hardly as if he didn't mention some uber doom machine as it was moved into perfect striking distance xD

[WilsonTurner]

And how would the Equestrians know of it beforehand?
It'd be, again, cheating to conduct perfect negotiations with a race and an entirely different culture before anyone else had ever talked to them.

This is more realistic, but I'm afraid this is about as realistic as it gets. It's sad, I think, because you can't really have all the cultural tension and all that. When one race tries to merge with another race, it wouldn't be seamless, like the Equis Pact or the AIF. There would be so much tension, from language making it hard to communicate, to different celebrations and even different ways to greet people. What may be a greeting to one race may mean nothing to another, or may mean the greatest insult.

And instead of the Equestrian saying, "We're sorry, but we're unfamiliar of your ways, could we have a demonstration of proper verbal interaction?", I just get an OOC saying "You misinterpreted my post's meaning!"

What is the fun of being an entirely different race with entirely different meanings and cultures if it's as if they all have the same basic culture base. We should just all be different human nations, with all the cultural separation and tension there is.
