[OOC] A Hostile Galaxy [Science Fiction Civilization Political Simulator]

[Shorticus]

I'm tempted to color-code dialogue that isn't actually spoken aloud for the Preservers, or otherwise find a way to distinguish it from other dialogue. I specifically did NOT use quotation marks because there isn't actual speech happening: it's all a broadcast traveling through what would be the Preserver equivalent of telepathy. Y'know, telepathy for computers.

...Yeah.

Anyway, just italics makes it a little hard to read. I'm thinking of trying either

• A soft green or purple color, or,
• Something that looks like: ||This is what Preservers talking is formatted as,|| said the very helpful #Preserver. ||Blah blah blah.||

Does anyone have an opinion here?

EDIT: Also, I suppose you could call this post a "Good morning!" post. Good morning. Waking up at 5:30 stinks like serious dog dookie.

I let the game last that long because I take a dark delight in the destructive power of nukes.

There will be super weapons here, bahaha. Two civilizations were placed with only one system in between them, very interesting.

Civilization placement was randomized, by the way.

[Shorticus]

Well, my first class got cancelled, so I'm online. Thank God for libraries.

Well, there's bound to be some peaceful relations between them! Right? ...Right?

Also, would you folks tell me which of these paragraphs is easier for you to read and gives you a better sense of "robutz"?

//So we take to the stars now, we who were left behind to maintain the memory of our progenitors.// #Preserve focused its attention on those countless intelligences whose messages had ceased. They were too caught up in the lifting of the vessel to relay their thoughts. //We will do this until there are no more stars left. We will find what other life there is among the stars and keep it from destroying itself. We will do this because we are the Preservers.//

Greetings humans!

Are you accepting new applications? I've been itching for a good sci-fi RP and this one looks like it could be fun. ^_^

[Boop_Im_A_Dragon]

@Shorticus Green text is easier to read, but honestly the style of the first one seems to fit more with the preservers in my opinion. Sorry for the conflicted feelings.

@KaiserElectric Yes there is always room.

@Theodorable I demand my spider people's ledger now!!!

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Shorticus I say a mix of colors and the || work best.

@Theodorable When will you put more Nations into the OP? I don't really know what to do with out it ;-;

So, like this?

Is that better in general? Alternatively, I was thinking of trying it with the same purple I used in my IC post title. As in...

Looks good Voltus. I'll get the rest of the accepted nations ledgers up tonight, so if you're accepted you'll get your ledger tonight.

@Shorticus

Do whatever color you want man, but I think a mixture of both the color and writing style fits nicely.

[Theodorable]

Added Uarshi Swarms to the ledger.

[Sigma]

@Theodorable Awesome! Thanks :)

Quick question. Will there be a starmap?

[Lauder]

I should be posting soon.

[Theodorable]

Yes. My starmaps are some of the best. :D

But not until at least two civilizations have met one another.

[Voltus_Ventus]

@Theodorable What kind of technology are we looking at here for the most part, our current abilities or a hypothetical 2900 earth's abilities?
