Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

Okay, I might be overreacting to that "laugh" on Verb's post, and Verb's on post, but I think we're coming to a point where OOC insults are/are about to be fired.

@Ophidian

I hate being right.

Well semi-right.

Okay, no insults, but players outright not speaking with each other. Close enough.

.......

Would anyone believe me if I said I didn't want to cause a shitstorm when I left?

So I'd suggest stepping back for a bit here. Wait until Key is back, and let the GM do his job. It's pretty clear everyone expected pretty different things from the RPG. This is the hazards of freeform, and I'm sort of surprised we didn't run into it back in the interest check.

I may have left, but that doesn't mean I wanna see this crash and burn, and I worry it is now getting to that point.

It strikes me that we all expected different games then what we ended up getting.

Mutually exclusive expectations tend to result in....well this. In my experience.

@Ophidian well. I feel bad about scaring someone away from an rp, so go ahead and stay. I'll take my worthless nation and fuck off.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

You can't please everyone-the fact this RPG, going by the GM ruling which was you'll recall in your favor, so do trust them on this if you do not trust me-pleases you instead of me is in no way your fault. If it wasn't you, it'd have been someone else.

Fact is, the Neo-Soviets were built with "primitive but refined" as the core of their technological (weaponwise at least) base-mass drivers, nuclear missiles, deployed in-

This.

The concept was this.



The fact technology is basically racing along to be far more advanced then I expected-I took the Terran Union as indicative of tech levels to be honest, isn't your fault. Your nation, truly, was just sort of the final indication, when I got notice of the ship sizes, that what I was going for just plain won't work, and that power levels in this RPG just aren't going to be anywhere near what I reckoned. The fact it was signed off on and approved, the ship sizes, all form powerful indicators.

It's also in no way your fault. Like I said:

If it wasn't you, it'd have been someone else.

It's also hardly a reason to call something you clearly put time into "worthless"

@Ophidian except none of them are designed for reentry. I'm not going to kill you by just landing on a planet over and over, the army is for the ground. I don't think I'll be killing anybody, in fact. not the UU style to kill off other species when they could make them a client state and leech their tech designs.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

There's also the fact they outmass the Death Star (mistaken for a moon....), going from the numbers given for it, by a fair margin. Death Star comes out to 74.5645 miles for the curious.

And like I said:

I'll be honest. I've had people swear the same thing, up and down. It's never turned out well.

I've got a rule, my "trouble" instincts going off once can be ignored. Twice? Time to pack up and go. I do appreciate what you're trying to do, but I've seen too many issues, too much trouble, start in exactly the same manner to be remotely comfortable with the numbers being tossed around here, in story terms and in terms of power levels. I've only got so much time to sit down and write, and it might as well be for something I'm sure I'll enjoy, savvy?

And presently, there's not alot that's going to change that equation, unless my boss calls me up and decides to pay me for not coming into work.

@Keyguyperson

All the info I sent you on the Neo-Sovs? (sorry for drowning you in text) You've been a friend, so you can make use of it for your faction if you so wish.

@Ophidian don't let me scare you off, I have about the most impractical fleet in the RP. it's small enough of a fleet that you can... fly around it. I'm going for an interesting dynamic, not to kill everyone ever.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

I'll be honest. I've had people swear the same thing, up and down. It's never turned out well. The lack of reinforcements did alleviate my fears, but the ships that could rearrange the geography of a fair amount of earthbound nations simply by landing rather served to reignite them.

But the rulings been made, and I'm not the type to continue to demand an RPG change to accommodate my preferences once the GM has had their say. So I'll simply have to wait for one that does.

As I said, I hope everyone has fun.

<Snipped quote by Ophidian>Hence why he has only a few warships.

@Willy Vereb

Mm. I'll be frank, I really really get jumpy when that sort of size is thrown around. The GM's made their judgement however.

So.

*Puts the Neo-Soviets on the shelf*

Another time then. I've got too many bad feelings about where this is headed.

Hope you guys have fun.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

my largest is at 175000m.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

That's....108 miles.

For reference, Cuba is about 760 square miles.

By my limited understanding of maths....

It'd...it'd crush a good seventh of Cuba by landing. Cuba is also, at the largest, 55 miles wide. It couldn't even land on Cuba without hitting ocean....

Glorious Soviet CosmoForce on Parade Deployment.

Because I'm using this picture for my profile andwanted to show it off beforehand. :p

So, as stated earlier, my newest effort shall be something of an experiment.

More specifically: My nation does not yet exist - it will slowly become a more material thing as the roleplay progresses. For the time being, I imagine I will be working with most of you on a collaborative basis. I will be sending pertinent details to (some) posters with posted nation sheets.

@Terminal

Ooooh. Interesting. I don't think I've seen something like that before.

For what it's worth, I'll be watching with interest.
