Welcome to the lounge, as some of the more observant people in the forums (or at least those that have a secret obsession with science fiction) will notice, this RP has somewhat of a base on the Ian M Banks book Excession. Obviously it wont follow that story line at all, but the idea for the "outside context problem" and for the intelligent space ships were lifted from that.

Ok so the general point of this RP is that it is very open, obviously player interaction is a necessity for any RP, so Alpha Station whilst being the size of a planet has a very small (yet easy to get to from the docks) visiting quarters which includes a bar, hotel, resteraunt and all the other features you would expect from a luxury "complex". This will be where your characters will live (if they are humanoid) or have an avatar (if they are a ship). You can socialise here and arrange "missions" or "quests" depending, information will trickle down from empire soldiers of new quests and missions via the bar, so the best place to spend you time if you are looking for something to do is be sat in the bar.

Ok so any other questions etc etc etc, just ask me here and lets get this RP going!

Sounds like a really cool RP, don't know how many other people are actually going to join though

BTW the bit at the start describing the planet getting destroyed, is that Alpha Station or something else?

Nor do I .. but we shall see if I'll give it another day and then put the next part of the story in!

And no that isn't Alpha Station, it's a different planet, but it sets the scene for what is going on and it will be the basis of the initial plot of the RP!

Hopefully it wont be a total flop of an RP ... It's my first so i am not sure how well done the opening post was ... it may have been too much in the way of prose and to little in the way of actually telling people what it is about ...

If only everybody was asking you as many questions as I was through LST, they'd be joining too

You could always re-iterate those questions WCP it might actually be useful

... I know that sweaty was going to join don't know what happened to him though!

I'd like to join please, if that's ok.

 

And don't worry, I can actually post well in an RP ! Shocking, I know. The skeletons in the closet, eh ?

CJ, might I ask why you are using my ship's AI for your banking transactions?

One should not speak unless it improves upon the silence.

No, I forbid you to join ... ... of course you can join! The more the merrier ...

It also means that I can get the ball rolling on the RP before I go on holiday and leave you lovely people to it for a week or so (i'll try and find a net cafe to post but I can't gaurantee it!).

Edit: CJ your last post is rather confusing ... your helmsmans name was Mr Wesson, as was Grit's. You also used the Novas A.I. rather than your own on Thunderfist one ...

Yeeeeah...I was a bit tired and I had just re-read the thread :P I'll go ahead and change them now. Sorry about the confusion. I didn't intentionally mean to do those things.

Well, I'll come in sometime early tomorrow (I'm in the for those who aren't in the UK or on a similar timezone, probably about 12-15 hours). As for the rest of today, I've got my fanfic to focus on.

 

Aren't I Mr. Sociable .

Oh so very sociable, well when you arrive you may not be coming into the nice calm environment that is there now ... but it should be interesting, I don't want to "shut people out" from the RP, it should be something that people can join at any point in time.

The general idea is that I will ocassionally post something that is happening, to set the scene, and then a few posts later introduce the plot to Alpha Station in some way or another. You can choose to join in the plot or you can choose not to ... although it could get boring very quickly if you just sit in the Alpha Station visitors quarters they aren't that roomy ... although there is a lake

I hope so ... took me bloody ages to write that post , but if all else fails, it'll make a chapter in one of my books, that are as of yet, unwritten, but they will be started soon ... honest

Ok then people, I am away from the 13th (today) until the 21st, in France, I shall try to get online and post something in the RP, but I can't gaurantee it, if you want to continue it then please by all means, I shall just post a very long "what i've been up to" post when I get back, which may just be "sat in bar" "gathered intel" etc etc etc

So see you all in 8 days!

I think I'd like to join this rp, I'm working out an intro in my head and should be posting it soon.

well I'm back and shall be doing any catching up that needs doing, will post tomorrow most likely as today I am absolutely shattered having spent about 6 hours on a train, and a further 7 hours yesterday!

Sorry for the double post, I have updated the thread again, hopefully those that joined before my trip to france will carry on playing ... I'll wait and see who else joined before progressing the story anymore, should do another update on Sunday or Wednesday depending on how many people are still active!

... I would have posted something whilst I was on holiday but trying to write a long post on a PSP is akin to having three cats trying to scratch your eyes out ...
