<Snipped quote by Hael>

Hmmm..... Vaguely, you may have to remind me since I left Guild a while back for some very good reasons. I've actually been watching this thread for a little bit, but was unsure about some of the concepts and whether or not my usual stuff would work since it tends to make a mockery of the standard and strides out on its own.

@Alfhedil

Well, for me to tell you rather your usual stuff will work, I'll need to know what it is

What did you have in mind, exactly?

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

Did someone say there was a need for a machine hivemind? o3o

@Alfhedil

Alf! I'm sure you don't remember me, but we've RPed together.

Are you interested in joining?
My gosh, three new people in one page.

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

Noticed the rp status is no longer full. I'm very much interested in joining if you've got room.

@Darkspleen

I'm not sure how to feel about your profile picture. On one hand, sexy. On the other hand, pervert.

Regardless, we have room. I've seen you lurking around here, you darkest of spleens. You're welcome to join in.

@hael I'd rather make a non-humanoid as it seems that you, as creator, wants and what is needed. I'll draft some ideas and see what I can think of!

@Mataus

Nice! If you need any help thinking of something, PM me and I might be able to help. I'm always overflowing with half-formed ideas.

@Hael A species which lives in stars, flies around in hard light ships. Either that or a Photino Bird race but they're made of hard light and interact with the world much more than the Photino Birds ever did. Like I said, way overboard, especially because they take science and slap it in the face.
I can come up with some non-humanoids but it'll take me awhile, not that there is any hurry right?

@Mataus

Yeah, both of those would be too unrealistic.

You can use a humanoid species if you want, BUT, I would prefer a non-humanoid.

And there's no rush. I'm going to change this RP from full to "apply", since we've lost some people.

@sigma Not sure yet, most likely a humanoid as this is a more realistic RP so my other races wouldn't even get close to being accepted let alone considered.

@Mataus

I prefer non-humanoids, and I'm not being that realistic. What are the other races you were thinking of?

I honestly don't want anymore humanoids.

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

Hey Hael, may I join? Lauder here invited me to check out this thread and now I'm interested.

@Mataus

Well... this RP is full, but several people have dropped out recently, so I may be able to allow you in. It depends on what you wish to create. What is it that you plan on RPing as?

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

@Hael

I have calmed down now.

@Lauder

Pfft, I thought it was more fun when you got as worked up as I do.

Finally, a partner in crime!

I have a question about this. They're not some kind of magical diseases that are somehow able to infect any aliens, are they? I mean, do you use cocktails of different diseases that specifically target certain races or even diseases that are specifically engineered to infect multiple specific hosts? Because I don't think that, for example, any of your diseases would likely be able to infect a species you haven't had any prior contact with (or whom you haven't had the chance to study the biology of) simply because pathogens don't really often cross species boundaries like that.

@TheSovereignGrave

Nah. The Xim would have to study the genome and immune system of a species first, then concoct a virus that would harm them by targeting the weak-points in that species' physical make-up. It would take over an IC year of study, maybe two or three, to even come close to creating a viable disease. So I won't be able to just start a plague right off the bat

After all my preaching about balance, do you honestly think I would have something that can kill races automatically? xD That wouldn't be right, so I'm going to make sure it takes a good bit of time for the Xim to manufacture a decent disease for any given species.

Well, with the exception of humanity. They were at war with humans for 50 years, and so they have probably already created an anti-human plague, but I'm not sure if they would have unleashed it or not. Afterall, even the Xim aren't monsters, and they want the humans alive for transformation.

@ASTA
Fine.

But it wasn't personal bias. It was fairness.

Consider this:
-My nation almost always uses disease-based weapons on planetary attacks, which your nation would be immune to.
-No other nation has immortals.
-If you are immortal, population growth would be insane even if it is legally limited, meaning that you would have to constantly expand, thus giving you better population and size than most others.
-If you are immortal, the members of your nation would be far more intelligent than all other nations from a lifetime of learning, which would make your nation smarter than most others.
-If you are immortals, your nation would have to have far more advanced technology than any others.

So now we're talking about a nation that, by NECESSITY, must be larger, smarter, more advanced, happier, and probably wealthier than all or most other nations, with no downside. That's why it's not right for me to allow it. Plus, it is simply unrealistic. You can't compare immortality to the invention of flight. That's like comparing building supercomputer on Mars to the first caveman to sharpen a spear. THAT, my friend, is skewed.

As Lauder so eloquently put it:

<Snipped quote by ASTA>

I am sorry, I tried to be nice about this and I really am sorry that you may have lost interest.

The fact of the matter is we cannot and will not allow this. The only reason is for balancing issues, if we had this a hella lot more lenient we would let you. However, even after I tired to compromise with you, you still argue and refuse to accept the notion that we here are wanting balance! That is the key to a roleplaying game! In a game have you gone against a character so high level that you died no matter what? That would be poor balancing!

@Lauder

Crying "Hael is being biased!" accomplishes nothing. I'm doing what I have to for the good of this RP. If you have a problem with staying even with everyone else, then you shouldn't be in a group RP at all. Fairness is key. You're not in this to "win".

EDIT: And, @ASTA, if you argue with me on this again then I'm going to the admins about it. I told you not to argue anymore, and yet you did. Lauder told you to stop arguing, and then you did again. Who the heck do you think you are that you don't have to listen to the GM? Stop arguing means stop arguing. Either come up with a different idea so I can approve it, or never speak in this OOC again. Anything else is disobeying the GM, which is directly breaking the rules of Roleplayerguild.
