Game discussion
« on: August 25, 2011, 10:04:49 AM »
I don't think this fits into the rules discussion thread and as Panopticon seems to have quite the story outline prepared for us, so we might have incentive to discuss various stuff in the future that's not the rules.

As of the conventioin that I created this thread for: I'd actually try to write a good looking kind of treaty or convention for us to 'sign' if this thing ever comes to be. Just like the geneva convention and most other international treaties not everyone signs them or is bound to them - but I'd think it nice stuff to post it in the RP forum in a new thread with its creation year (e.x. "2040 - International Sol Space Regulation Treaty") because it both looks fitting for campaign 'progress' and makes it easy to look up for anyone.
What do you guys think? If this finds general acceptance (regardless of whether you'd want to sign or hold up to it ;) ) I'd start posting drafts either / both here and in the RP subforum.

Sounds good, I think we need to get some treaties started in here.  Since they are each unique and individual treaties, a unique thread for each would be nice.  Should it be just one post though listing the treaty and all nations, or should post 1 be the treaty, then every nation posts if they sign it or not?

I think the second option is better, to make sure everyones had a chance to look over it.

Suggest we only post finished treaties in the RP section though, better to hash them out here and in PM/Email land.

If the others and Panopticon agrees, I'd prefer the latter.

*edit*
Only the finished treaties should get their own thread, yes. I'm pondering though whether we debate the specifics with flavour textes - which means either in the Chicxulub debate or PMs - or here.

Since we switched to mails pretty much, I would prefer mails and not pms. However, I wonder if the Chicxulub crater debate thread will suffice for everything. It's already quite crowded and that is just with general statements and debates.

Maybe we should have threads for more specific debates, were it is focused on that. So for example right now, have a sub thread if the Chicxulub debates concerning the ownership of our solar system.

I'd love to see a treaty thread. We could do it as a treaty convention and post the final treaty in it's own thread to be signed by those interested.

One thread to discuss a treaty, and one thread to sign it sounds good to me. 
Perhaps with a separate sub forum for the signed copies.

Treaties threads are good ideas, I think I'll spin the Debates thread into its own sub forum and you guys can go wild.

One treaty you might want to think of when the issue comes up is what to do with active sensors on Earth. My previous groups didn't particularly like the idea of other groups spying on them and ended up enforcing a ban on Earth and in orbit.

I know active sensors don't actually tell a ton about your stuff in game, but for RP purposes they will let you get advance warning of troop movements and such, as well as more detail about ships than just speed and emissions, you won't get any specific tech knowledge, but it will give you some clues as to the ships design philosophy.

Just a small request.

A place for those of us who would like to comment and say how cool this group of threads is, without mucking up your game....  ;)

'Cause I have really enjoyed following this one.
... and I will show you fear in a handful of dust ...

I can figure something out for that, heck if you want to be part of the RP you can also just hop in a discussion, call yourself a private citizen, representative from a non TN power, news reporter, or whatever. Community game doesn't need to be just those with empires.

Nothing particularly interesting happened involving you, unless you had some big amusing plans that I have forgotten (entirely possible) You are simply researching and building your ship.

It's not too clear what gender Japanese names have, and seeing Naismiths recent post in Chicxulub I thought I'd just state that Tanabe is a female japanese name, hence the 'his' is not exactly appropiate. =)

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.
