In some ways, the guildfall was a blessing. It makes it harder for my original 2009 RPing to be found...

A thousand things to be done; plenty motivation.

Bio

Aeronautical Engineer
Irish
TV and Film addict

Been here on the guild since April '08, seen a lot of change but still love it. I've been on and off, I've GM'd fantastic projects and train-wrecks, it all comes with the territory. I once tried to make a YouTube ad for the guild because I'm slightly insane. In a weird place with the Guild right now, seems like so many names I knew are gone, but more than happy and ready to meet new people. Been writing casually for over a decade, a lot of that practice has been here. I have some small short sci-fi stories printed in anthologies but those are so heavily edited they don't even feel like mine any more.

When not on the Guild I'm most likely working, playing FFXIV or the Souls series or (insert recent must play video game).
Anyone with a passing interest in sci fi needs to read Saga by Brian K Vaughan.

Although it's probably still to early to be making calls, here's what occurs to me.What do you all think?


I think the dismissal of the Technocracy could be the the Stoor's downfall. And the same goes for their dismissal of the inner sphere. I'm just happy knowing it's their arrogance and not yours.

@EVERYONE anybody who wants a subfaction to be within the Technocracy let me know. Equally if anyone cares to make npc nations that have been assimilated by the All Party that's also a thing. Or any other kind of pre-existing relations.

Pfft that's a fairly low standard you're expecting from me :pWell a lot of people don't notice it, I don't make a big proclamation out of it and just get on with it.


Evidently why you got the job.
Just a general comment to everyone. Don't worry about your nation being too at being awesome. We'll all be all be at the same level. Ridiculous mass production, well skilled and efficient AI (or equivalent) militarys and other such high scale aspects seem to be commonalities among our nations. They'll spring uniqueness mostly in dogma, beliefs and actions rather than physical aspect. Well so far apart from terminal and his gross but great space worms.
Binary code on the flag!? That's a great idea why didn't i think of.........

I'm just having fun

I'll actually go read it now.
Glad to see this is back. Your work is eye-poppingly pretty.

Hm, darkmatter, quick question regarding the sheet. For the Species sheet, what would "Dominant Society" mean exactly?


What I mean by that is the dominant social aspects of their culture. Like for example here on earth capitalist western society would be dominant. So your species might have several sub cultures. This section is to detail the main social aspects and other smaller/lesser ones can be discussed in the general culture section.

Yet again, just a template omitted sections aren't a huge issue.

Hah cheers. I've been a mod for probably close to 6 months now, it basically happened just after the move to the new guild.


I genuinely have no idea how I didn't notice but ok
I expect exceptional writing from you now
@Isotope One thing is for sure, the Yia is going to want to control the virus a lot. If/when it's aware of its existence.
I could possibly be interested. Is there an script for the audition? Also, what is the consensus on accents?
As a published author of poetry, short stories, flash fiction and a single novella, I will give you this single piece of advice; write everyday. Write whatever you want. For every word of gold you will write a thousand of rubbish. Yet buried within the useless tangle of thoughts will be the gold. I once wrote a speech which in turn inspired a short story, Poems can spring from a single image. Let the telling of the tale, the conveying of the message and the commentary on the subject itself be the purpose of writing. Also, never give up, keep trying and learn to accept rejection.

I'll get onto this when I get the chance.


That's what she said.

Also, ok

EDIT: you're a mod now? When did this happen? congrats

I really miss the old forum.. getting to preview your stuff to make sure it formats right.


And the more extensive formatting. I'm sure it'll be done once Jesus, I mean Mahz has the time and resources.
