Feel free to let me know what you think when we run into each other on Teamspeak. I’d love to hear your thoughts, what you think will happen and how you interpret events. It’ll help decide what bits need further clarifying and provide inspiration.
Really, love the enthusiasm and support.
It helps that I get to work with a really talented writer. I feel a little inadequate in comparison!
<3
You must be joking, you know I don’t have TS! ~joke~
And right now my guess would be it is leading up to what has happened in the different corps with some side events that the most of us know nothing about(The internal discussions etc.)
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:
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.
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.
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?
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!
I’m glad you like it!
Expanding on Evil’s response:
- I was debating this with myself the other day. I have the canon storyline open and may change the years to fit more accordingly.
- We have to take some creative liberty with events just to make everything fit better. The timeline illustrates the story in chronological order.
- Related to (2), the events that happen in the story are based off events that actually occurred in the game. As such, sectors are named after the Sector Control Map (e.g. if you see my description of sectors 28-31, you’ll actually find they make a crescent in-game). I will also be pulling ideas and descriptions from specific maps to incorporate (e.g. Abandoned Outpost, Devil’s Jaw). As a matter of fact, [sLIGHT SPOILER AHEAD] WX-6 is like Pandora. “Blight” squadron knew the anomaly would knock out their comms; this was planned. ;]
- Forum RPs generally run as parallel scenes at least until characters meet. My first post should be considered separate from Evil’s as we are currently building the scene and introducing some background. As more posts are written, I will have more examples to show you guys how these RPs work. I admit the format can be a little confusing at first (especially with the godmodding rule), but it becomes fairly natural after a while.
I am happy to answer any other questions regarding requirements and rules and such. :]
You say that Evil, and yet you called her Ziek instead of ZIEK…
But it sure is awesome
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
Not that I ever engaged in any kind of teasing about this, rumours of the kind are all pure lies and slander.
You won’t get out of this one, Evil. I distinctly recall your first impressions. Of all places, you had to post it in the NASA recruitment thread too. Diplomacy at its best. xD
That’s better than ‘piss’, though
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.
I did run it through a translator this time around. I am perfectly alright with my name meaning “ill.” It’s rather ironic. xD

Yes, indeed. We’ll also be including more events that others in the community can relate to. For example, the release of pirate ships, the Summer Cup, the Jericho expansion to cover 90% of the map, etc.
It’ll also provide a glimpse of behind the scenes work Evil and I have done over the course of the last few months.
Yea i know Pandora and stuff really well, i dug every bit of story the game has (had actually) to offer. I haven’t looked closely at the secor map naming in game yet. Maybe ill drop into Photoshop a little later and develop a huge detailed map based on everything official i can find. Hell i can reinstall Vue and go with a full 3D one
Then multiply it with diverse information, from incidents in fanfics to sector conquest details.
What do you think?
That sounds brilliant, Astraal. I would love to work with a map. Saves me the trouble of logging into the game and hovering over each sector to find out their names.
Consolidation! When I have some time, I was also considering linking I.I.N. reports on the timeline. If you could help me smash all this information together, that would be most excellent.
Have you considered anything about JP’s fanfic character sheet thread? Just wanna know. It would give plenty to work with.
As a forum RP, I would prefer individuals write their own characters. Our stories are quite different as well and deal with two very separate aspects of corporation business, at least that was my impression. If people would like to make a cameo in Flashpoint, they can always leave a message in this thread or PM me.
Of course, if people want to directly participate in the action and write this RP with us, there will be opportunities in the future for that too. :]

Without wanting to sound like the arse that I am … but you have created a RP, yet are not allowing other people to join ? Isnt that abit backwards ?

Not yet*
This is mainly as there’s a planned story arch we want to complete prior to opening up the RP for more people. It’s based on events leading up to this point and things which happened behind the scenes that others will not be familiar with.
It will also give people time to get used to the format so that once it does open up, people will follow it without anyone having to explain.
For now just enjoy the effort.

But I want to ‘Godmode’ your character so bad NOW !!! :lol:
Kipps doing RP, a frightening thought.

Thankfully, you can’t. I don’t even want to imagine what dodgy scenes I would end up in.
Thanks for putting weird images in my head…

I would keep it civil and forum friendly … Kipp’s style of course :Dwop

Uh-huh.
I wanted to do the character I told JP about… Not sure if that’d be godmoding, though…
