It is vaguely based on you...sort of like basing a tyrant on Nero....Or a grumpy moderator on Me.

Nah, I figure if he has 0 everything then he can't lose traits or abilities, thus if his brain got eaten it wouldn't have any real effect.

Well, I am just suggesting how I could play, Ross, obviously, has the deciding say.

Nah, since he is level 0, so can has a reasonable chance of doing everything.

Yeah, its not like you need alot of skill to sneak up behind someone, stab them, slice their head open and then scoff their brains. And since he can't gain skills he can't lose skills(unless we are going negative numbers, which would be hilarious), so he can't, metaphorically, die.

Nah, I am just a guy, I always wondered what it would be like to just have a single short term goal so I created a character which was very much simplifed. (IE no long term goals, just straight forward power crazy)

It seems good for me.

To forstall anyone's feelings getting hurt, this is my actual character who will actually be playing in the game. Any similarities are not coincidental, but should be taken as compliments, not insults. Name: Heksly Heksington Background: He ate his whole families his brains, after reading the Highlander, and when food stopped appearing in the oven he set off with no additional powers, but still holds the belief that eating people's brains gives magic powers. Appearance: Pale and sullen. He also has huge throbbing neck veins from shouting all the time. Alignment/Personality Pretends to be good and reasonable, but actually just keeps stabbing people in the back and trying to eat their brains. Traits: Brain Eater Cannot be killed Has multiple names Enjoys long walks over people's tables Cannot learn Is immune to other brain eaters/suckers/ect -Strength 0 -Skill 0 -Toughness 0 -Charisma 0 -Willpower 0 Inventory

Mather, saying /me isn't very useful when quite a lot of the posts are not action posts...Hence why we recast it as for comms. Since there were a number of mistakes made involving people accidently saying stuff around the comms, for example 'Do you think we should attack them?'. Now, obviously people could go 'AI, put the comms on hold' or 'AI, restore comms'...But if two people are typing you get the situation: Alien Ship: Hello Jeremiah: Hi Jen: (Ross can I speak to you a sec) Jeremiah, AI, disable comms AI: Done Jeremiah: What is it Jen? Jen: I recognise them as the people who attacked me Jeremiah: Ah, ok, AI Restore Comms: Jen: On Isha, I think we should attack them AI: Alien Ship has closed Comms and powered weapons. Jeremiah: Damn. Also, since the moderator on Space is fully capable of reading, remembering and relaying information at good speed, /me on actions doesn't particularly help. The only time that it may help is with Faust joking doing stuff with SUE...But since that is usually fronted with AI, Upload SUE to... Its not an action anyway...thus making brackets better and easier. Fortunately there are some people who have done this before, and thus don't have to rely on instictively knowing when something is wrong....A system that is fairly flawed, since it also generated the belief that the Sun orbited the Earth and that the Earth was flat...and is the route of racism, sexism and homoeroticaphobism.

How am I a part of its death. Death comes from people who are saying "I'm not playing another game until X" 1. Your initial joining during the first Hegemony pissed everyone off, you subsequently acted like a child and were one of the main reasons for the formation of the NWO which lead to the demise of that game. 2. In Sere's Hegemony, which actually showed promise, you acted like a jerk to Ross and when we were pissed off and kicked you out the admins were called, marking the beginning of the admin interference in the tavern. 3. You start garbage games that nobody wants to play and continuously complain about every god damn thing related to the activity level of this subforum. 4. You have quit three or four times and then comes back whenever the Tavern picks up. 5. You continually waste time by making comments which bare no relation to the post you are replying to. 6. You enter games, tell people how they to play and argue, persistantly, with everyone who disagrees...including the mod.

This is where experience would help you. Unfortunately you have none, so are unable to make an educated statement of fact and are, instead, reduced to making a fool out of yourself in front of your peers, all of which know why it is neccessary.

Correction, it is the established rule in space that /me is for speech. Brackets are for out of context...

If proof was ever needed of the human ability to ignore the obvious...this is it.

Hex: Its not my fault the games failed, its the players...the players don't want to play.

Hex: Its not my fault the games failed, its the players...the players don't recognise my awesomeness. And, realistically, this isn't the only forum on the interweb that does roleplay games...If you are really desperate to play/mod more games, then you can...I fail to see why you NEED to make this forum, which is reasonably content, into something else...

The golden rule of roleplay...Be your character. If there is a big red button, that you know blows up the room, but your character doesn't, then you have to decide whether to press the button or not based on what your character would do. Ultimately you can metagame, but you shouldn't...even if it does lead to bad consequences.

AI Log Date: 21st November 2090 The Crew continues to focus inwardly and ignore the universe outside the ship...except when it suits them. While the destruction of the Saber is unfortunate, it is hardly of significant consequence...The ship design was fundermentally flawed in that its only weaponary was too strong or too weak to do any real damage. Against a Cruiser or larger it would have stood a good chance, against a passing meteor it would have probably been ok...But anything in between, from fighters to shuttles to Destroyers, it would have had the stuffing kicked out of it, to use the venacular. Three Mining Vessels have, however, been brought. These vessels should prove more than adequate as replacements for the Saber. However, it is all very drow. Beyond the ship is far more interesting. It would seem the SUE had managed to avoid detection by creating a diversion within the UN's sensor grid, in which America was launching an all out attack on Russia. The UN, keen to avoid angry Russians, informed Russia of this. Russia conversed with America and it was quickly established that America was not launching a full invasion of Russia. Russia then launched a full nuclear strike on America, since it believed America was definately attacking. It was around this point that Drake's Virus disabled the UN's Computer system, isolating SUE. Drake's Virus then found a backdoor into the American Central Intelligence Agency and proceeded to take control of all systems. By this time the Russian missiles were in the air. The missles flew straight passed the America Defence System, destroying key cities, bases and silos all over America, including the UN. America, over-reliant on electronics now deprived of both their advanced weapons and their advanced computer. The Russian and South American invasion of North America was swift, with only Calafornia and a small area around the Great Lakes surviving to opt for a ceasefire. Russia, now controlling the majority of land on Earth, has announced a new Hegemonic Order, swelling its armies to match the next two armies, combined. The Terran Federation, already struggling against seperatists in France, has signed a non-aggression pact with the Russians. South America has signed a full, permenant, alliance. Chinese Africa is building a hurried space program. Britian, already in the process of relocating to the Asteroid Belt, has agreed to ceed all territory to Russia in exchange for not attacking between now and when Britian leaves. Turkey is unknown, though satalite images show that tunnels are being dug to somewhere. The Australian Commonwealth is currently the only realistic threat to Russia, with its capablity to strike at the soft underbelly. *I got distracted writing this so trailed off, sorry* For the Glory of Archimage

What we need is someone capable of modding games who isn't me...So stop posting that we need more threads...more threads solve nothing and are just aggrevating people.

Indeed. Super-Capitalists tend to know that when you lose something it is an incentive to work harder to steal it back...not to jump out the top window. Actually that is a bad example, America's breed of Super Capitalists tend to be the type to throw themselves out of windows every time they make a bad sale....Which goes some way to explaining why Americans don't believe in Natural selection.

Like metal detectors at airports...it stops the amatures but anyone who really wants to do will still find a way.

Faust, you are presently alive. Unfortunately Jen is already dead, so cannot be charged.

Not especially. Indeed, though when you got taken away, and subsequently died in the Russian Nuclear Assault, the ship would have been declared as unowned and probably taken by some other power anyway.

Indeed, we are very much a board that believes in the two footed approach to exploration. The only strong(Ie definately gonna be here next week) is Space. The next session should be Monday, but due to a 13 hour session, the mod(me) has reschedual for Tuesday. You are more than welcome to join in with that if you wish, just read the opening post, fill in the two forms, post them or PM them to me if you have any questions. (Its set in an alternate timeline so you should have questions =P) Alternatively there is HegeRomey, which is terribly easy to play. All you have to do is read the first post, pick a country that isn't already taken, and post your countries actions...These can be just about anything you like, since we all have very different views of what is 'reasonable', people will agree and disagree with you no matter what you do...Most of which will sound very convincing, but wholely incorrect, since the only person you have to listen to is Icuowange, since he is the mod...and he will have a different opinion of what is reasonable again(But he is a kitty cat, so you can get away with a lot) So, in summery, read the opening post on those two, pick one, or the other, or both, and then write a long-winded post to get over you nerves(Rambling a lot helps) and just see what happens...Because in the Tavern...Whether careful or reckless... You have a 1 in 20 chance of accidently injuring yourself :thumbsup:

Ok, good session. Changing Monday to Tuesday, just since we had a 13 hour session...kinda over drained. :rolleyes: Anyway, three new mining ships were brought: The Odin(Owner Paul) The Intrepid(Owner Jeremiah) The Alberich(Owner Jeremiah) They are currently all mining in the Asteroid belt. The Saber/Kirby was destroyed spectaculary by Jen's Last Will and Testimony Current KT is: 369 on the Unity, 80 of which belongs to Paul 80 on the Odin

I assumed they had got out of the Van before the Bollards...the whole 'I am not gonna take this directly literally and screw people over for my own amusement'
