What've I missed?
I've been away from the forums for a while. Could use a summary of what's happened on the RP section since my less-than-cheerful departure. Nothing specific, I don't really need to know the details of what passes as canon lore these days. Probably won't become involved aside from injections of Batiss lore and the occasional doomed individual RP.

Re: What've I missed?
your reset has obviously crashed horribly.
the revival of the old/unregulated RP has broken the record for longest running RP thread and currently is the second longest thread in the forum, being short off the Flan's thread by only 9 pages.
That old RP is what we currently use and consider "canon".
Yes, that means there are ponies, although the Strigiforme are trying to wipe them out.
I do kinda get the feeling I'm being effectively given the position of "psionics judge", so if your psi is * I may call you out, tho the current psionics system is a mix between preestablished stuff and my proposal for the reset (psionic subspace field is a thing)
story-wise, since you left, it's basically been "Strigiforme are pulling excuses to war people and force them to remove ponies out of their asses" until the ARKs attacked.
Like, invasion of ARKs at Draco, a UGC colony galaxy (pushed back via planet buster spam) simultaniously with D-ARK appearing in Strigiforme territory.

Re: What've I missed?
Just to throw it put there, bringing Batiss into the canon RP is gud. We could always use a "new" player.
But FPRPs / individual RPs are doomed to failure on this forum. No exceptions ever.

Re: What've I missed?
The space owls are a joke, yes. The ponies are thoroughly appalling.
But really, those with half a brain replace "owl" with "avian" and "pony" with "maybe-sentient quadruped".
However, your point is well recieved. GLHF.

Re: What've I missed?
TBH, Kill Owl and Kill Pone are really not that different. I just decided that I'd rather have many decent allies than one really powerful ally who would eventually absorb me. Or did I?L-ADM Error wrote:The space owls are a joke, yes. The ponies are thoroughly appalling.

Well the only reason they really exists is because they are a cheap source of conflict.

Replace owls with Vanduul or other non-human bipeds, keeping the Strig mindset. Blam. Source of conflict.

Re: What've I missed?
Yes but whats more original? I've yet to see any RP that even resembles the futurecraft universe. We have a very rare original universe with all kinds of intricacies.
