This will be great fun. A lot of planning has gone into this, we talked about it for some time now but didn’t manage to bring it to life sooner.

 

:good:

Hmm, I have no idea what this is…

But looking forward to whatever you got planned.

 

Edit: Read the post, seems sweet so far! Can’t wait for next part(s) :slight_smile:

A good RP thread, very clear and reasonable rules, Setting an excellent example. :] I look forward to seeing it expand.

Many thanks for the kind words, Dagget. :]

Just read the whole thing and it’s awesome!  :salute:

But i don’t know if i really understand all the ‘requirements’ to join in it xd

 

Anyway, bunch of questions:

  1. Why is the stardate the ‘real life today’ date? For one i understand it can be the date the post was uploaded, but if it has to do with the game’s storyline, that is way off.
  2. Regarding the past June dates, the chronological list of the events is built correctly right? Wanna know because i tried to read them all in order.
  3. Sector choosing is based on ingame sector and / or pve map or storyline and maps’ description on the main site or is there another map i don’t know of?
  4. What happened between the last 2 posts (Stardate 20130621 and Stardate 20130622). I’m confused because it jumps a day with no outcome of Evil’s one. Work in progress i suppose from any of you or is it purposefully Evil’s choice to leave it as such or continue after your post? (the answer to this could help understand the rules of the RP better).

Thanks and looking forward for moar!

  1. The dates refer to the actual events and their chronological order. They are related to one another and necessary to put some of the events in context. Bear in mind that we have a long-term plan and overarching plot. Whilst there are two seperate lines of events at the present, these will converge.

  2. The order is correct, it makes more sense once the story develops and you see a few more posts :slight_smile:

  3. The referenced sectors exist on the sector conquest map and are there based on events which happened or existing lore written for respective corporations/people involved.

  4. There are two seperate storylines at the present, the posts themselves are not necessarily in chronological order and the story may jump in time. My side was indeed not resolved and will continue in the next post. The content has already been written, we’re just purposefully not releasing it too quickly so we are able to keep a reasonably regular activity going. So I continue after the existing post by ZIEK, exactly where I left off. Then it is back to ZIEK’s storyline, etc. etc.

Really glad you’re enjoying it. A lot of work was put in.

Most of the credit for this effort should go to ZIEK.

You say that Evil, and yet you called her Ziek instead of ZIEK…

 

But it sure is awesome :wink:

 

Edit: Since when did she become ZIEK instead of ZEIK? o.O

Geesh, you don’t miss much do you? xD Fixed.

Blame this text I am using at work for auto-correcting words in all-caps and attempting to be helpful.

The name change happened this morning. I quite like it as it’s still pronounced the same way but no longer means what it used to mean in our language :wink: Not that I ever engaged in any kind of teasing about this, rumours of the kind are all pure lies and slander.

Right, now her name means ill…Didn’t improve much :P 

Oh well, our language is just weird  :crazy:

Lol you guys. Next we’re gonna see ZEEK or something? xD

 

And i see. Now it makes much more sense with the knowledge of 2 interwined and separate storylines. Ty for clearing it!

zeek? Isn’t that a word in our language as well?..

Googled it, yup, it means the same as zeik xD

That’s better than ‘piss’, though :slight_smile: Whilst the literate meaning might be ‘ill’ you could also take it in the slang for ‘totally awesome’. Depending on your opinion of aforementioned individual, of course.

Might as well go all the way to ‘EEK’ then. xD

Glad I could clear it up for you and that you’re enjoying it. It makes the effort worthwhile and provides additional motivation to continue it :slight_smile: (Though after this effort we’d see it through anyway, there’s already so much planned content.)
