I attempted to do something. I have no clue what.
I also was attempting to post super late at night.

Walking
With the best ability he has, Gawaadi practiced walking with the heavy [for Gawaadi] gravity of the world. In truth the gravity may not be as horrible as he thought, as Gawaadi may just be very physically weak. For unlike some martians, Gawaadi never worked out his muscles nearly as much. Despite that, he still wanted to see the world outside the stuffy tent he has rested in for perhaps too long. There is a reason to still live, isn't there?
However the gravity pulled Gawaadi back down, only to once again be caught by Dr. Torres.
"You're weak for a martian." the doctor claims.
"I know."
"Well, you may need something to hold yourself up. We ran out of walkers however."
The Doctor, holding Gawaadi dragged him to a seat made of plastic and left out of the room for a bit.
The room still putrid, still smelling of bacon and some weird orange-white [for lack of a better word] scent made Gawaadi want to hold his breath, but he couldn't. He didn't want to hold his breath because he feared if he did, his lungs would explode and splatter all over the medical tent making a massive mess for the doctors to clean up.
The Doctor came back, holding in his hands two coral-like branches. They are surprisingly straight in shape, and have little refinement; the point at which they clearly were broken off still are well visible despite being numbed enough to walk with. On one end the canes have some foam-like material sprayed on.
"What are the pink things?" Gawaadi, confused asks.
"They are plants from the world, they are strong and sturdy enough that some of the colonists have been collecting them around the site."
Gawaadi wasn't really paying attention. Again, Gawaadi asked "okay, what are they for? Me?"
"Yes. There is no other alternatives for supporting walking."
What the doctor said sounded a bit weird, as the coral-like branches clearly had foam stuck on the top. How is it this assistant doctor has foam that hardens, but not plastic tubes? It all seemed so absurd! Obviously, the assistant was full of shit. Though the pink coral things did show god's creativity, kinda. Why god just reused coral and pretended coral is like bamboo is beyond Gawaadi.
Still, the question stuck; how is it they have foamy stuff, but not plastic tubes??
Questions like that went unanswered, as instead of asking this, Gawaadi with a near bi-polar fury starts shouting at Torres from his throne of a tiny, blue plastic childish chair "No alternatives? Non sense! I demand a real doctor, not some filthy assistant!"
"Calm. Doctor Herc has other important patients to tend to."
Nothing the assistant said got to Gawaadi, shouting again Gawaadi says "I demand Herc! You lie!"

I second ReaptheMusic's sentiment. Though I'd argue less than eight players is fine, even preferable. Something intimate, less confusion for us, less work for you... ;)
All I mean is around eight people who show interest. 6 people already show interest, five of which from today alone. Chances are by monday there will be well over eight people showing interest.
However I work under the belief that not everyone who shows interests will actually play, so the actual amount of initial people who stick around for the RP itself may vary a lot.
Random thing I should note:
I decided to rename the clerical caste "arch decider" to be "Great Decider". It just sounds better.

I'm game. Would we have a brief on the aliens before we start the RP, or are you leaving it as a surprise?
I'm leaving for the most part as a surprise since it's first contact, but to show they're not made up as I go i'll note that there is four defined species within the alien society. Some may say three or two depending on your definition of what constitutes a organic being.
Less than a day and one person interested.
Not too bad a start.

On a related subject, upscaled water bears would make pretty cool alien creatures to have populating some strange world.
Hello. I had a space opera RP setting I wanted to make use of. Some might com,pare it to halo, marathon or really any setting with a interstellar united mankind dealing with a more advanced caste-based alien society.
“For the past two hundred years we have believed and officially claimed that there is no evidence for intelligent alien life within our galaxy.
That was false.
In the last twenty years there has been communication with an alien race whose nature will cease being a mystery before the end of this week.
The organization known as the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs, our top secret organization whose existence and mode of operation is known by a few, has collected and spent the past two decades communicating with a society more advanced than our own. One that is now closer than ever.
Recently they have sent us a message.
“We are coming.”
The message told us.
We do not know their intentions or what they plan to do,
But I believe they will be peaceful.”

Background
In the time leading to contact, from the moment humans landed on mars, the invention of the interstellar engine to the creation of the Grand Coalition and beyond, the was a question when in the interstellar age that found itself unresolved. That question was simple- is there intelligent life?
For despite what some theorists initially assumed in their wild delusions, intelligent alien life did not show up when humans used their FTL; rather what humans found was a vast expanse of lifeless worlds with the occasional planetoid endowed with odd alien critters on them. Never did humans find anything capable of the things humans were. It seemed that humans were the fluke among the cosmos, something that made sense- after all Earth existed for hundreds of millions of years with complex life.
It became hard for the denizens of the Grand Coalition to imagine sentient life in the galaxy outside earth, especially considering the advent of faster than light travel and how no other civilization seems to have beat humans to it. After all if they did, surely such force would have taken over the galaxy by now.
The people of the Grand Coalition accepted this “truth”, and went about merrily expanding and In the two hundred years before the 26th century, it would seem that the biggest enemy to mankind, was themselves.
In 2421, a civil war of cosmic proportions broke out between those loyal to the coalition and insurrectionists seeking independence, isolation and disunity in a vast, uncaring cold universe. The war was the first major interstellar war, from that war coming vast amounts of pointless dying. The interstellar war raged on for two decades, and is still in the mind of many citizens of the Grand Coalition as of 2512.
With the defeat of independence movements and the Coalition’s loosening of its control in order to appease its colonies and avoid another interstellar civil war it would only be a matter of two decades before humans picked back up the pace- expanding into the infinite frontier once more.
It seemed for some time that humans have finally conquered the cold, hostile cosmos. After all, humans learned to harness the weather, they learned to jump across the expanses of space and evaded self-extermination. Better yet, it seemed there was no other civilizations to compete or rival humans out there.
So it seemed.
In 2492, a shock came to the Grand Coalition in the form of a message on an outlying colony world known as Vestiva. A alien message, something thought unthinkable. Why didn’t these aliens contacting us only now not take over the entire galaxy? Are these aliens on the verge of doing so?
The following two decades saw to Vestiva becoming a world under strict watch by a organization known as the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs, or BETA. BETA’s purpose was to assess the nature of the alien society nearing at hand and determine a very important question; do they threaten the existence of the human species, or are they about to open humans up to a galactic community of a scale far vaster than the two centuries of feverish expansion that has been human history up to this point?
Yet of course info got out, rumors spread- especially with the inexplicable military build up and boom in secret research facilities that soon followed afterwards.
But the Grand Coalition never officially said a word about the contact. It would be two decades later, in the year 2512 that the Grand Coalition would have Edna Guis, the secretly chosen representative for mankind announce that humans have contacted an alien intelligence, one presumably more advanced than us. One marching ever closer, with motives completely unknown.
As it turns out humans are not alone,
and that is horrifying.
Overview
Contact is a space opera RP that is character based, but you do not need to stick with one character. You can pretty much be whoever you want, from a civilian to a general, however the more authority and impact your character may have on the story, the more I expect you to play the RP. Your characters can die [in theory], and if they do, feel free to make a new one.
You can't be a alien at the start; in fact i'd rather people try putting their characters around Vestiva at the start, for optimum fun.
Interested?
If by monday this RP doesn't generate enough interest [I define by eight players being interested] i'll hold back on this RP for a month or two, or perhaps make a different one even. I don't wanna jump into this with no one else playing.

I see china as a state corporation.
This thread is yet another random discussion thread. This one however would prefer it if there is as little perverted posting as possible; there is PM talk and Cara's OOC for that.
The point of this thread is mainly to avoid being a circle jerk; just random discussion and talking without constant eGrope flooding everything.
So as a topic starter, what do you think about the People's Republic of China?
And how many posts can this thread go on that subject?
