Structure

This RP is going to run a little differently then RPs have here before. For one, there will be a bit more direct control on the shape of the story. What this means is just that when key events seem to appear or have the potential of appearing, I will be making sure that they line up in some fashion to lead us to some sort of endgame. It makes the story more cohesive and allows for buildup to a climax and resolution.
Now this does not mean I'll be dictating everyone's actions or ideas. The game is still very much in the hands of players, but it does mean, if you intend to throw some massive curve ball at the story, approach me about it first so that we can both discuss and make sure it will not just make people upset for one and make sure it keeps the story on track for another.

The game will be episodic, however it will also be "seasoned". What this means is that there will be a primary story arc. This arc will be composed of episodes (most likely 5 ten page episodes). When that arc is complete, a new one will begin and it will be composed of more episodes and so on and so forth until this game meets its fate one day.

As always, the story is much richer if you have a well worked out background, or at least have the makings/potential for expansion on a good background and to have some sort of subplot running, maybe on your own or with other players.

Also, the technology, names, planets and systems are up to the player. Of course ubering and god-modding aren't allowed, but this is a bountiful empire with lots of planets and systems and incredibly advanced technology. The tech is at a point though where it can both be old school or super futuristic. So you can cross hard ammo with laser technology with mind control if you so choose. It's up to you, but remember technology is at its height, which really means it can be anything.

Military assets will be hard for civilian like players to come by. So in most cases, you bought your gun by some illegal means. More importantly, things like military ships will be limited, so we won't have everyone running around commanding a ship with guns on it. Things like civilian ships will be more common, things such as transports, but remember, this is a time of anarchy, things are either really expensive, really cheap and broken, or you killed or stole to get it.

Finally, their is an auto-subscribe group that has added everyone to be able to play the RP. However, there are some people that right off the bat are simply not allowed to play due to the fact they've demonstrated on multiple occasions that they cannot handle it maturely. Therefore, if you can't post, you can't play and the decision is final. This also means for others to behave and follow proper etiquette or else you'll be banned from the RP as well.

Any questions or comments, feel free to post.
