Heh, I've noticed Aurora doesn't make a distinction between female and male names, they always get called "He" in the event log.

I've considered reporting it or something, but I imagine someone already has and it is probably a PITA to give each name a gender tag or whatever in the db.

Actually, the names already are flagged male/female in the db. The program just doesn't make any distinction.

A detail slipped me while posting this quite lengthy contribution to the Chicxulub Crater Debates (namely the union between the Japanese Alliance and the Northern Kingdom), which I have now added in an edit. I'm sorry for any inconviniences caused to the other players, especially FGRaptor and shadenight, as I saw both of them reading the post and the latter even responding to it while doing the edit.

As a small note: The union is a formal one of cooperation between our two factions, not a merging.

*edit* De-k'ed the night =)

*edit* Fixed a couple typos. Can't get rid of the [./list] at the end of the post. It wasn't there at the first time, dammit. Gotta check the entire post for tags tomorrow. I must not write international treaties during class breaks, oh well.

I've been reading this and I saw in the rules that anyone could join in at any time.
Could I be allowed to join :3? I know I'll be in a major disadvantage but it might be fun..

This is correct, people may join at any time, however I think I am gonna cap the main factions pretty soon, I am in discussions with one other person at the moment, if you want to join that puts us to 9 or 10 I think depending on how things fall out. That is probably as much stress as I want to put on my processor at the moment.

To reiterate, you can join, but I think that is about the limit for main players, come up with a faction idea and don't claim any land that is already taken, then send me a PM.

For any others who want to join in, you can do so in a few ways:
1. Via RP in the debate thread or even make your own for other announcements, you can take on the role of private citizens, news networks, corporations, or even government officials with permission of the player running the government. Have a conversation, propose a treaty or ban on something, threaten sanctions or propose a shift in policy.

2. Write fiction, most of the empires only have general notes on origins, you could flesh those out with permission from the creator, or write your own story in the setting, perhaps I'll even steal ideas to use in future plot elements.

3. Answer a casting call, at various times I might create a small faction and want another player to do something with it, for instance the NZDL is annexing California in a month in game and has announced it to the world. Their attack plans are set but I have decided that California is ruled by a few factions of murderous warlords, they will join forces in an attempt to stave off their assault. Someone could take the role of the head warlord and give me some ideas about how they want to defend themselves, perhaps even appeal to other factions for aid.
I might create a pirate empire at some point and want a pirate king to tell me what they want done. Little things like this could be run by someone answering the casting call, it is unlikely to be a permanent gig, but could be fun anyway.

It's not really a Game question. But does anyone know a better font then cursive for a signature.

I gotta admit, I'm a tabletop roleplayer and had my fair deal of online roleplaying in various RPGs. Sometimes I can be quite a nuisance. But am I the only one who doesn't take bright red OOC messages as a good thing in the RP subforum?  ::)

I try to use them to explain my thought processes, or lack thereof, behind why I did something or wrote something up in a specific way. But I acknowledge that too many posts like that in an RP subforum can be a bit distracting.

I wonder if you could patch the game to 5.53, Panopticon? Steve says it's compatible with saved games and I've just tried it on my Aurora. Works like a charm for all five save games.
Just mentioning this 'caus the civilian vessel buildtimes were really annoying the fork out of me :S

Oh I'll patch it, don't you worry.

Though so far our civilian ships are building at the rates I would expect, possibly cause they are all small and stuff.

Yep, issues resolved so far as that goes. Turns out I shouldn't run video editing stuff and play Aurora at the same time. There was an update out last week and I should get another one done either late tonight or tomorrow (I play on US Pacific Standard Time)
