[quote=Evangelyne] When I applied to this RP I interpreted it as the world was split into smaller communities, like tribes. Also do we have a currency? I Think that with the lack of resources we wouldn't want to spend the little we have on making coins or bills. I was imagining the community like this:People can stay and get fed if they work for the community. All resources would be handled by some sort of authority, most likely one leader/village chief or the current military leader. So the leader in the community deals out work tasks that needs to be done for the day, make sure he deals out food rations when its time to eat and work on securing whatever resources the community finds.Trade would be through exchange like: I trade you this pig for your pots.When it come to laws it's probably up to the leaders of the village to decide what's ok or not. These rules would of course only apply to the community only. It would probably be simple, don't kill, steal, rape or anything like that within the community.As it is included in both mine and Brandon's CS we do have a militia already. I imagine it's used for protecting the village, hunting and scouting for resources and plot raids against other villages.This is just my thoughts about it. Do you agree on anything I'm blabbering about? [/quote] I agree whole heartedly. However, I would like us to establish the form of government over our immediate community. If we're veering towards a more tribal heirarchy, then that's fine. So we'll have either a Chief, a Mayor, a Count, Lord, President - doesn't really matter, but a consensus on what the man's/woman's title would be grand. I imagine he'll/she'll feature quite heavily in everyone's life, as he/she would be their chief benefactor. [quote=HeySeuss] Guys, quite frankly I don't have the time to run this. I just got done running a week of overtime and can't keep up with this. If someone else wants to GM, have at it. [/quote] Sorry to hear that, but I understand life can explode at any moment for a number of reasons. I am prepared to GM this, if no one else will, but would rather not. If I am however to GM this, I want people to come forwards and help me flesh out this enviroment. The following points need to be clarified: - Main community religion, if there is one, and if so, how aggressive or passive is it? - The name of the chief/lord, or a clarification on the kind of government in place. - The size of the community, in thousands or hundreds, depending on how small scale it is. - The time of the Alien invasion, that is to say, does it start at the beginning of the story, or later on after people have faffed about in the market place? - The settlment's layout. Is it walled? Is it on a hill? Is it mingled with the ruins of the old settlement? Are there holy temples or churches? That kind of stuff. - The region as a whole. How many other communities are out there? How close are they? Does ours have diplomatic ties with them? Are there frequent wars/skirmishes between them and us? If required, I can go ahead and forge my way through all of these answers, but I'd prefer you guys to mold an RP that you are likely to play, rather than me roll the dice and land on something you guys think resembles an over-microwaved lessange.
