HOW DO YOU SETTLE WHETHER A BATTLE IS WON OR LOST? Let's say you have two players, both of whom want to win a battle. How do you determine who wins?

Unless the GM has a system set up, I imagine it would come down to accepting when you've lost. If you're "wanting to win", you're doing it wrong. You should be wanting to tell a good story, not win them all. If you feel a battle is lost, you accept it.

That being said, this is just an interest check. If you are interested, please let me know below, and I'll happily reserve a spot for you. Sections such as mechanics and the map and whatnot will be included and others such as the Summary will be removed in the actual role-play post, if this moves forward.

laserX, this thread is mainly just an interest check for now and the actual role-play will be posted as soon as possible. I stated that not all the mechanics and stuff would be explained in the interest check for the sake of keeping it as short as possible, and will go more into detail in the actual thread.

Like Pepperm1nts stated, "I imagine it would come down to accepting when you've lost". The first general way to determine who wins would be to use common sense, a fleet of two hundred star fighters would be walked all over by a fleet of 160 destroyers and 310 frigates, for example. I'm thinking of implementing a system based on either fleet strength, manpower, or whatnot, but the role-play isn't just centred on who can battle the best. War is a part of it, as it is any nation role-play, but the Song of Dying Stars is mainly centred around the political, economic, and yes, militaristic aspects combined in an aged galaxy.

The role-play is also based on just continuing the history of these "civilizations" you create and play, and not necessarily trying to win in any aspect.

On a side note, should I reserve a spot for you guys, if you're interested? More players amounts to more fun and more in-depth history and role-playing, and I'd be happy to have you guys play! Anyways, I've got to leave for now, just came back from Shopping: The Prelude. I get to go for the sequel now, yay! *sarcasm*.
