Ok, someone needs to write a list of rules, and we need a list of GM's. I will try todo a bit of advertising for us.
Thanks Peri for making me question muh sexualities once again.

GMS
-Hibou
-Perigrin
-Vulnus
-Lorknis

As for rules, I'd like to submit this draft.
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. Keep it clean. This is a SFW board, anything sexy, gory, or otherwise NSFW goes under a spoiler.
2. No powergaming. Don't play to win, 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. Be nice in OOC. Just don't be a dick to other players. In IC, being mean is fine, just don't go too far overboard (i.e. mass murder).
5. Have fun! Yes, this is a rule. If you break it, you are banned FOREVER. Not really though.

I wrote that up in about two minutes, lemme know if I need to add anything.

GMs that have voulenteered so far have just been you and I, Peri. And unless anybody objects to giving us any modicum of power regarding the RP, I guess that makes us the GMs.

As for rules, I'd like to submit this draft.

Well since I don't have anything else to fucking do I guess I'll help. Unless you want to vote for that next...
There is probably no more terrible instance of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man — with human flesh.

I'm sorry Hibou but lately it feels like everything I do recently is a waste of my time and my ideas get ravenged apart. I'm just angry as fuck at everything.

I feel you, Lorknis. Life sucks like that, sometimes. You gotta remember that it's not the end of the world, and that things are gonna work out so long as you keep working at it.

#TheFeelsAreReal

Also it is partly due to my new medication to combat the PTSD, depression, and night terrors/mares. It makes me... moody.

@Lorknis Well, being moody is probably better than than the other issues it treats.

Regarding the overarching roleplay, maybe we should consider creating a development guideline? A sort of rough sketch of how we want the universe to turn out, with a certain theme to follow and then a number of "objectives" that we need people to write. I think it would help with steering people in the right direction, as well as spurring them to write knowing that there are certain goals to be met.

It might look something like this

To Create

PLANETS
-2 Civililzed Planets
-1 Wilderness Planet
-3 Developing Planets

SPECIES
-Just add whatever you want
-Try to add some cultural information, too

TECHNOLOGY
-Seriously we have no guns someone fix that
-5 Capital Ships
-3 Cruisers

So on and so forth, like some kind of literary hit list. I dunno if it'll take off, or maybe railroad this thing too much. Lemme know what you guys think.

I'm going to update my species with planets n guns n stuff here in a bit, still in a bit of a funk because Mechwarrior Online needs to run a ton of fixes before I can play it, and I can't play it until Saturday.
