Still accepting new players? @Polybius

@Ozerath

sure!

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

Everyone post your character sheets to the Character tab for easy reference. IC is open.

@TheUnknowable@Oraculum@Pepperm1nts@gorgenmast@Claw2k11@Lucidnonsense@DepressedSoviet@Ashevelendar

Did I miss anyone?

EDIT: As this is turning out a little more free-form than I envisioned, I'm hoping everyone will play in the spirit of improvisation..."Yes, and..." etc. We're here to tell a story not win a game-I don't think we'll have any problems with this group but I just wanted to get that out there. Give me shout if anything comes up! Get cracking on those first posts!

RPGN Rebirth: Issue #4 15/11/2016

@RPGN Thanks for the mention!

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

@Pepperm1nts Totally fine with that. My NS is pretty bare-bones as well.

@gorgenmast Just to get on the same page, I figured we would all do a sort of introductory post then move onto a few rounds of Galactic Council posts. I don't necessarily have a plan for the pace of the RP, more a feeling it out attitude. What are your thoughts?

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

Would anyone be opposed to my posting yet?

@gorgenmast

We're going to do a round of posting soon. I figured everyone is probably already working on one.

@Polybius

I think my nation might stop supporting the Unity Accords first. They don't like anyone there so they might leave the U.A fairly quickly without anything bad really happening.

@Claw2k11

The seeds of dissent grow...

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

@Polybius Will do. Tonight I won't sleep too much but I'll have it done :)

@Ashevelendar

No worries man. Let me know if you need anythin

<Snipped quote by Polybius>

My view on the matter would be that directly opposing the Unity Accords would appear to many nations as an excessive risk while the threat of the Mandate still exists - fragmenting might leave them vulnerable, after all. However, if strong dissensions arise in the Council, the possibility of an organised schism occurring at some point would not seem to me to be unlikely as the memory of the war grows more distant and nations gain more confidence. Then again, disagreements may stem from the current situation as well - for instance, the Palathyn Collective being, as we see, in favour of combating the Golgotha with more radical methods, which the UA are against.

@Oraculum

Right. The Palathyn would be (in my mind) the prime candidate to spearhead such a movement. I think the Accords are going to fall to shit faster than the Llyr Empire to be honest.

I know this'll be denied but id pitch it anyway.

It seems like the majority of the nrp is focused on a NATO coalition of sorts. Would it be cool if I made a nation capable of taking it on? Sortof the nrp's soviet union for lack of better terms.

Most of you probably don't know me but I'm a fair player, I don't war for the sake of war and only play for story. My initial plot arc was that nation reaching out to be peaceful, be part of the community per se'

@Monkeypants

Like that Preciprik guy said, the Golgotha kind of fill that role, but I'm seriously surprised nobody has mentioned creating an opposing council. Sort of the warsaw-pact to my NATO if you will. The golgothans of the Resurgent Mandate are fanatical killers-not necessarily politically opposed to ideas put forward by the Galactic Council. Maybe something to think about?

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

Guys, please try and make nations that are relative to the roleplay-this is a very specific era in the universe lore and sheets should reflect the attitudes and opinions of nations dealing with the wholesale slaughter of billions. Sorry for being so short-but I think the information I've supplied is sufficient for people to figure out what needs to be included. Make your nations relevant to the roleplay.

notes

@Pepperm1nts Just drop a couple lines under history and your good.

@TheUnknowable "giving them cybernetic upgrades for their pets and starship friends,"
Lol. What? Look this is a political roleplay, just tell me your factions attitudes toward recent galactic events (the mass-murder of billions of Llyrians by genetically superior beings for one, the ban on FTL and the control of PKW's etc.)

@Ashevelendar Need you to take another pass at your NS, you don't even mention the Golgotha, Unity Accords or any of the recent events. The draugar are good-just give them a little more work.

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

That role has already fallen to the two Golgotha players. Honestly, what we need is more Unity Accord members.

@Pepperm1nts

Seriously, this.
