I'm officially setting up this thread for discussion preceding the start of RP.
So any suggestions or questions anyone has, post them here for now.

We archive the old threads, character sheets, and we start over. Same characters if we want them, new ones if we don't. We work on backstory intersections as a group, deciding who's on what ship, who knows who, who hates who, etc.
As far as plot. A second war seems like a good idea.
How the crews are drawn in, again should be discussed.
Just my two cents on the matter.

Way to be the first to post.
I'm working on archiving and deleting all the junk lying around as we speak (or something...).
I'm in favor of a second war, since that's been discussed for ages[i/]. As for crews, there's only going to be one. There are five of us here, so that's really all we need. How we set that up kind of depends on whether we're doing a tabula rasa, or is we're just going to write a new storyline with the previous set up.
I'm considering re-introducing Chase's and my Alliance characters, but I haven't talked to him about that yet, so we'll see.

Mostly posting to add that I like the ideas that have been posted. Don't really have anything to contribute, though, to be honest. I might edit my character a bit... don't know yet.

Ideas, our crew, due to the war, become either mercs, or smugglers who bring goods through the warzones. Rather than being directly involved in the war at first, we'll get drawn in.
Another idea is that we're a branch of a Private Military Contractor group, hired to be on one side or the other, that way we start straight up in the war.

I was thinking we might start out as drafted transport. Not sure which side yet, but we can discuss.

I would say we get drafted by the alliance but have a choice to defect later.

That's definitely a possibility. Probably not as official transport, since the Alliance presumably has the means to deal with their own transport issues, but maybe for something covert.

I'd be up for bring back Tyler and April....though it might be best to remove the family linkage between Chase and April just for simplicity. We can discuss that. If we're going to bring them back though, don't delete any of Tyler's posts....because I'll need to go back and read them to get a refresher on his style.
I'm sort of liking the idea of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Chase, being who he is would most certainly detest what the Alliance as done, but he's not a gunslinger and he doesn't tend to put his neck on the line often. He would be a proponent of staying out of the shooting war and trying to help the Browncoats in other ways (covertly, using misdirection or cons to procure/more items or spy and get intelligence). But as these things often do, I'd think the ship would eventually get caught up in the shooting war and have to take up arms or die.

Oh....are Leif and Kale going to come back into the game?
Who's been officially invited?

If it must be known Chase I am the one helping Seraphim get this place going again, who started her down this new path to change and perserve the site. As to if I will be around when things are said and done that remains to be seen.

Hmm... Jin was originally in the war as a browncoat, but I could easily tweak her character or start her over completely if need be.

I've archived the old RP threads, Chase, so that's where to look if you want to find old posts.
I figured some character tweaking might be in order, so for those that want to update or alter their character, PM me with the changes and I'll approve them and unlock your profiles for editing.
Lief is out of the picture to my knowledge. He's gone for like six weeks or something without internet, or restricted internet. Not sure which. And Kale is here to help me not make a mess of things, which I greatly appreciate. Official invites went only to you guys, Chase, Jin, Intactus, and Risa. I only talked to the people I trusted to post.
I agree. I like the idea of getting stuck, but I'm at odds as to which side. I'm sure the general preference is for the Browncoats, since we have the whole "evil empire" stigma with the Alliance, and our characters tend to live outside the law as it is.
As for April and Tyler, I like the idea of bringing them back, since I loved writing April, but we'll have to discuss where they'd fit in, since I'd rather use them as plot vehicles rather than let them have their own storyline, at least to start. There's also the question of multiple characters, which I'm saying no on, at least for now. Tyler and April may be an exception, depending on what our overall story arch looks like.

I think Jin as an ex browncoat crewmember of a ship drafted into Alliance service adds some great... complications for the plot. Aq would most likely just be a browncoat supporter since he grew up on the border, but he wouldn't be one to make a fuss.

I keep going back and forth on it. I think everyone would resent being drafted by either side, but we'll see. Maybe get commandeered by Browncoats for some act of terrorism or something and get caught up that way...

I personally feel that as part of the revamp the Bio Template should be redone to some extent and If Seraphim is agreeable to this I can put a new one together for all players to fill out for their characters. This will give everyone a chance to redo or just add to their characters how they may like.

I would be fine with that. I'm all for updating. I need to do some for Sera and the ship, for sure.

Oooooooook well I will do it but it will be an old fashioned one. It will not be the coded one you have not it will be the written up kind.

Of course, I will have it for you in a few days. With work and all that it will take me a bit but you will have it.

I have the new template, so I think I'm going to ask everyone to fill one out, or edit your character profile to fit it. I'll unlock them so that can be done.
Also, I'm re-posting the rules. They're mostly the same, but have a quick look at those once they're up anyway.

I'd like to get everyone's new profiles up soon, so aim to do that in the next week or so. That's my goal this weekend (homework permitting), lest I forget in the midst of halloween festivities.
