<Snipped quote by Dankman>
As long as my character ain't going to die from drinking tainted water, it's cool.

@Burning Kitty

Yeah that won't happen :)

Gonna have to pass on this one, good luck though

@Mercenary Lord

No worries, good luck elsewhere.

Mars 2051: The Ravaged Frontier

@Dankmanfirst question:
What manner of construction are they using? Do they live in pressurized buildings, with each one being the independent from the others? If so do they have connecting corridors to form pressurized hallways or do we need to go outside to go to someone else's home? Alternatively, we could live in a pressurized crater, possibly paraterraformed, or in lava tubes or caves.

Second question:
Would there be outposts, possibly with a different form of habitat, where people could live away from the city but near enough to trade?

I'm thinking of "Take on Mars" and various Mars themed RPs I wrote when I read this, so I just want to get the basics of the universe down.

@TheUnknowable

Alright so the first one is something I probably should have written, essentially the colonies are encompassed in s giant 2km wide 5km long dome, the dome is completely pressurised and has two really useful features, the first one is a special glass that is coated in an Anti-UV compound in order to help block 85% of all the UV radiation that would other wise come into the colony. The other useful feature is an atmospheric processor that breaks down the carbon mononxide into oxygen and carbon, the carbon is then trapped into a filter and replace, the man replacing it goes untroubled by the scavengers because it's basically suicide to stop the process. The inside of the colony is arranged very much like garden cities in the UK, at the centre is a green space and park, or at least there was but anything that really grew there is dead or dying due to nobody tending to it.

The second question is really simple to answer, to begin with, no there are no outposts, however I did at one point toy with the idea of having outposts lying around but I figured that due to the fact everything went to crap so suddenly in the colonies that nobody would really be in a situation where they'd have the supplies to go out and build one.

If the second colony failed because the water purification systems failed and the first colony is overrun by scavengers, who is taking care of the water purification systems of the first colony?

@Burning Kitty

It's pretty crucial to the RP's plot, it's no matter what is done the RP one of the key elements of the story, if you really want to know, I can PM you it.

Wouldn't setting fires and shooting guns inside of an atmospheric bubble of any kind be a really stupid thing to do?

@Mercenary Lord

Well the glass of the dome is really strong, as it would have to be, as for the fires, it is a stupid thing to do but the purification system aforementioned did a good job with it, but it's fair to say the air isn't quite the same.

Mars 2051: The Ravaged Frontier

Interested.

@Andreyich

Awesome! Be sure to let me know if you have any questions or suggestions :)

Mars 2051: The Ravaged Frontier

In 2035, SpaceX sent hundreds of average people, Farmers, Doctors, Miners, to the cold and unforgiving wastelands of Mars. They called it 'The Hope Project'
They named it this as they hoped that it would give humanity a new chance to prosper, away from the dying Earth, away from the opressive and violent ways of the Earth nations.

The landing about 255KM away from the Equator of Mars was fairly smooth just as was the journey, friendships were made and it truely seemed that Mars would be a bastion for peace and compassion.

The first colony was founded, Neo Haven, on March 21 2036' while initial issues with obtaining and purifying the water found underground on Mars proved an early stumbling block, soon the colony was harmonious and fully slef sufficient, something that on Earth would be impossible. The colony eventually outgrew itself with people having children and those who were children when arriving growing into adults. To solve this, a second colony built 25km East of Neo Haven was founded, this colony wasn't as sucessful, the purification systems failed within a week of foundation and around 20 colonists died of poisoning.

Many fled from the second colony, they took oxygen and only the essential items and progressed over days to Neo Haven looking for reprieve. The journey was hard, many died and many simply went missing, eventually 150 bedraggled and exhausted refugees arrived at the airlock of Neo Haven. But to their suprise, soldiers walked out and demanded they returned to their colony. When they refused, the soldiers opened fire with their M-18 Advanced Colonist Rifles, fully automatic weapons capable of 750rpm. All 150 were mercilessly gunned down in an event known as 'The Catalyst'

Outraged citizens revolted, set fire to government buildings and in turn the government responded with mass killings and demolishing homes. By the time the year 2051 had been reached, the civil war had raged for 5 years, almost nowhere was left standing.

Now scavengers roam the streets of Neo Haven, looking simply to survive. Will you?

So, that's my little intro hope you all enjoyed it, just courting for interest, I only have the story laid out right now, other things need to be worked out before I go ahead and make a OOC post. Essentially I'm looking for three players who can be somewhat active and of course find this interesting, I'd also love to hear suggestions and will happily answer any questions on the thread or through PM. Thanks for reading :)

Hi All!

@Dankman welcome to the party!

Have you played ME:A yet? And if so, what are your impressions of it so far?

@ROADWARRIOR

Yeah man, it's alright, it's no ME2 but I can deal with it, combat is dank.

Hi All!

@Dankman

O.O

H-Halo?! YES!!! If you wanna 1x1 Halo, don't hesitate to PM me!!!

There's a search bar up the top, next to the logo. You could use that to look for any keywords :)

@SgtEasy

Thanks!

Hi All!

@Dankman

Welcome to the guild man :) There's some Mass Effect roleplays that are still open around here, you should check them out! I'm currently in one but its full right now. I'm sure you'll find your own group and RP

Good luck and hope you like it here :D

@SgtEasy

That's cool, thanks for that man. Haven't actually been able to find any Mass Effect RPs around here,mprobably just not looking hard enough :)

Hi All!

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this. So err, I'm pretty much just a crazy guy who loves to be geeky with Mass Effect and Halo. I quite like nation building too. Some of my interests include politics, philosophy and cars. I also, as you may have already guessed, do a fair amount of gaming.

Anyway, thanks for having a look at this post and I hope to RP or just generally get to know you guys and girls over time :P
