Utterly Mad

Here are the rules specific for this board. Please note these are subject to change and it's up to you to read these. Posting in the UMCW board assumes you've read this so don't bitch if you haven't.

GMS
-Hibou
-Perigrin
-Vulnus
-Lorknis

Dah Rules:
0. Don't be a dick. Just a basic rule of thumb, meaning just don't do anything that is meant to specifically hurt other players or ruin their experience.
1. This is a (generally) safe for work board. Anything sexy, gory, or otherwise not safe for work goes under a spoiler.
2. No powergaming. Don't make your character a god, and don't overpower your weapons or ship.
3. No metagaming. Your character only knows as much as they've learned in the world.
4. In IC if you want to kill another player's character, you gotta get consent for that s.hit yo.
 -4b. And when/if your character does die, don't cry about it please.
5. New Species, Lore, Planets, Weapons/Armor, must submit an application in the respective board and then must be reviewed and accepted by two other GMs before being accepted and used in threads.

That will fall under 4 and will be added as article 4b. Also where are you f.uckers writing the lore at?

The Data store. I think I'm going to start a few subforums for it today, one for lore and one for tech.

Alright, I'll be waiting on you to do those then. I'm gonna go officially drop out of college so yeah.

Are we allowed to create multiple species? I got a idea floating in my brain.

Can we add a sticky thread of all the approved tech/species/other jazz that's been added to the universe over in the Datastore? We might not have a lot of stuff right now, but it'll come in handy as the universe expands.

Okay, since I've thought up a couple issues that might occur I'd like to propose a couple of rules concerning what characters are allowed to be.
First off: Player characters may not be the leaders of the mega corporations. Reasoning being that if a player gets ****y he can very easily screw things up in this position and make it frustrating both for GMs and other players(IE HUGE price spike for certain weapons for no reason, starting a stupid war which these companies are capable of)
Second: Player Characters may not start as the leader of any species or nation. They can get there, but not start there. Reasoning: The process of achieving that stature would be interesting, and I think it's not something we should just let happen at a finger snap. Make the process occur in character, see how the venture itself plays out. Also, helps to avoid spite characters that would just start a war or something.

Just some things I thought up.

Approved. My "General" is more of a frontline officer than anyone with political powers

So then who is controlling the actions of the corporation? If a player is bringing OOC issues into the IC, then that's metagrudging or some other vein of metagaming and should be punished as such. I think players should be able to create characters in any place in the universe, be it a lowly pickpocket or the CEO of a megacorporation. It adds spice to the universe, a face to the corporations, and just more capability for fun.

I will admit that having one person at the head of an entire species does seem a little much, and could be limited to a case-to-case basis with an approval scheme similar to approving lore.

Well things with Corporations could fairly easily be discussed OOC, I don't think it would be entirely necessary for Corporations to actually have a specific character running them, although I guess it may not be a bad idea.
If Corporations do end up requiring characters I may make one for SiegeWorks, although I'm not that interested in actually making a character so someone else may be able to if they want, as long as anything they do regarding SiegeWorks is checked with me first.
