Roleplay and faction separation

[Shadowcatbot]

Simple, make a sub forum in the RP section for factions/species/whatever only. It's a bit hard to separate RPs from faction threads right now.

Humans Faction Pages are a blight on galactic purity. Yours sir! Yours is a blight! And yours! And yours, human owl. And yours!

NF;DC (Not Funny; Don't Care): Faction pages are useless, we don't need them.

the RP section is generally the area where they are all kept. I sometimes think it should be obligatory to have a faction page if you RP, but then i remember that I tried to write one once and cry. Perhaps if we come up with a simpler, standard format for factions, then we could make it a necessity.

Remember the futurecraft wiki that we set up a while back? That didn't turn out so great...

[Saravanth]

I don't even think that was us who made that one...

I don't even think that was us who made that one...

It was Tiel and it failed.

It was Error and it failed.

Though I'm flattered that you think I'm that dedicated to this place.

It would still be in the RP forum.... It would just be a faction thread only sub forum of it.

Seriously what the bloody hell are you talking about?

No one even makes faction threads.

It's too difficult to make a comprehensive summary of a faction that evolves over a period spanning centuries while accounting for interactions with other factions.

No one even makes faction threads.

Then what do you call them? Species threads, Lore threads, Threads where you describe your specie/lore/background/whatever threads?

You're expected to know all that; if you don't, just read the past RPs or ask us.

Basically, I keep records of most of my lore, made easier (though also more complicated) by the fact all my factions are of the same lineage throughout the centuries. Plus, it means I have less to explain every time I rebrand. Plus, it makes the fluff a bit cooler sometimes IMO, like a scientist discovers research in an ancient station created by their ancestors. The bloody conflict from most transitions is also the driving reason for the near-continuous low tech, and I'm going to stop talking about things that I really don't need to talk about. I'll leave it here though, because why not.

Really? And what if someone wants to make a new faction? I can't use Skythe because somehow prototype started using that name for one of his factions. And what if someone new comes along and wishes to join in? Shall they telepathically transport their idea into our heads?

Honestly, no one really cares about minor factions, and most of them are pretty cookiecutter anyway. No one is going to read the faction page unless its for reference, and then still only very rarely.

But cookie cutter factions are amazing, so original and new!
