You could force the two groups to work together to survive. Que backstabbing games!I'll keep my eye on this

I'm going to be honest, I don't really like the idea of [i]forcing[/i] the groups to work together. If it comes down to that through RPing, that's totally fine, but I think I at least want it to start with the groups opposed. Hope you continue lurking, and join when it's launched!

^I like this idea! EDIT: going off this idea, the sith can be like spys, pretending to be spacers or mercs or even jedi. EDIT2: Or even the mercs can really decide what side they want to be when ever. They might simply have their own ulterior motives. Anyways, I'm interested. I don't think having both sides in the same thread will be a problem. When things like that happen, most people in one group mostly just scan the other group's post, just in case they are to make contact. If a person in one group goes MIA, then the other group shouldn't be hindered at all. Furthermore, it is up to the GM's discretion on how to deal with absent people (leaving them behind, NPCing them, etc). This RP seems like it would have a lot of PVP between the two factions, and thus, really needs to be in a single thread. The only problem I foresee is if EVERYONE meets and interacts. That can get tricky, but again, its been done before. BlehI can be either side, depending on what we would need. Just lemme know.

These possibilities I like a bit better than simply forcing the Sith and Jedi to work together arbitrarily. Personally, I would be okay with Sith acting as spies, but again, I would like that to be an exception rather than the rule. I'm also open to people playing Merc non-force users that flip-flop between sides. The difficulties of both will become a bit more apparent once more about the actual RP is revealed; namely, the Sith and the Jedi have different "landing" spots on the planet where they set up base, making it so they wouldn't be immediately in contact (barring a Sith spy joining the Jedi ship).

I also agree with you about the single-thread thing. In my opinion I feel that's the optimal way to run it. However, if we get 12 or more participants, I might opt for a multi-thread route.

Glad to have you interested!

So, everyone, now that we have six potentially interested parties, should I put up the OOC? Give you guys a little more info and let you start on character creation?
