[SCI-FI] The Stars Above

Since there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of activity despite the player count, I was thinking of throwing together a small event arc to get as many people involved as possible and give the roleplay some starting momentum.

How does everyone feel about that?

@Keyguyperson All right, works for me. Thanks.

@Durandal You need to tell me what territory you're claiming as well. If you have no preference, I can decide where you're located myself. Also, go ahead and repost your sheet in the CHAR tab now that you've been accepted.

@Keyguyperson Same goes for you. If you have no preference other than the number of hexes, I can assign you a position myself.

@Keyguyperson @Durandal You're both clear to start posting, assuming no one raises any objections to your sheets in the near future.

[SCI-FI] The Stars Above

@Keyguyperson Thank you, that's much easier to follow. I have no issues with anything presented in that sheet.

Anyone else?

@Durandal I said post it in the OOC, not the CHAR tab.

Verbal communication would come in time. The wonders of digital computing accelerated the learning process for written dialog, but it was still slow going. In time, the Ophisians taught the xenos their script for greetings, basic directions, some objects, some pronouns, some proper nouns, and the basic procedure to follow if they receive particular transmissions in Ouroboros space. Likewise, the Ophisians learned some of the xenos own script. It was far from optimal communication, but the two parties learned enough from each other to avoid blowing each other up over slight miscommunication. In the hours after their first meeting, the Ophisians and the xenos laid the groundwork for understanding each other, and it would have to serve until proper linguists could be sat down across from each other.

At last, it came time for the two parties to bid farewell, at least for the moment. Al-Insun tapped quickly on her computer, the device translating her words into the known words of the xenos.

"We reverse-greetings. We go to Lord." After giving the admiral a moment to process her words, she continued.

"You go here. You here okay -- " the computer printed, as Al-Insun pointed at a basic map of the star system, marking the L4 anomaly, " -- All but here reverse-okay. Do not go. We speak again."

The image lingered as Al-Insun awaited the xeno's acceptance of the terms.

@Keyguyperson I didn't see anything glaringly disruptive on my read-through, but your sheet is incredibly dense and simultaneously a bit scattered. Would you mind posting a more concise version of your nation-sheet here in the OOC so I can see a better rundown of your civilization?

[SCI-FI] The Stars Above

THE STARS ABOVE is now OPEN for applications. Please post applications in the OOC, not the CHAR tab. DO NOT POST works-in-progress or otherwise incomplete sheets. All nation applications will be judged as if they were complete.

@Icepick You are clear to start posting in the IC.

@Dragonruby will be assigned as my co-GM shortly. This is almost purely a matter of my years of experience with Dragonruby, during which he has displayed trustworthiness and level-headedness time and time again. In addition, his timezone is both far enough ahead of mine to manage the thread while I'm away, but our times of activity overlap enough that I can maintain reliable communication with him each day. I will still be respecting the opinions and considerations of the other players when it comes to arbitration, and I trust Dragonruby to do the same if a decision must be made in my absence.

@Keyguyperson I will be reviewing your sheet shortly.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.

@Icepick You can go ahead and start typing up a post, but I would hold off on actually posting it until at least @Palamon or @ClocktowerEchos gives your sheet a look over.
