CRUMBLING EMPIRES (Sci-Fi Nation RP)

So uh, before I express any sort of interest in this, I have one question to ask:

What's stopping you from abandoning this NRP like your other past NRPs? They usually end up dying off after like, 2 weeks of activity or something, with you taking an extended leave of absence soon after. I assume these absences are due to real-life responsibilities taking priority, which is completely understandable.

Just a trend I've noticed with you as a GM.

Colonel Sanders would have been his arch-nemesis.

Hmm... well if they crossed paths greater than a century ago, they probably would have outright ignored them unless they encroached upon their land, at which point they would probably kill them without blinking. That there's a buffer between their territories along the coast of the lake, there might have just been an unspoken agreement between the two cultures to have that as a no-man's land if the Uraka offed enough of the approaching Azu or if the Uraka got a little to righteous in driving them out and end up taking losses themselves. Given Azu culture, the Uraka's impression of them would probably be limited to seeing them as bandits and warlords, much like other neighbors.So, nowadays, that stereotype is probably still in amongst the Uraka Federation. However, given that they've started to open up, they would probably be willing to listen to an envoy of some description (if there is one amongst the Azu). The point at which the Uraka might be convinced to not hate the Azu would probably take an event like, say, an invasion from Ordov.As for Kharis in general, the Azu may have come across unaffiliated Khari tribes in the mountains. Reactions there would probably vary. Could be anything from 'cat men bad, cat men kill' to 'cat men say they will feed me and give me booze if I fight for them'. Pretty much a standard reaction for Khari tribals regardless of the culture encountered.Now I'm imagining a centaur version of Rage Against the Machine. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Hm.

The azu mostly keep to their territorial grounds; the only time they'd venture outside of it is in search of more accessible food sources, living space or other resources required for survival. Other than that, their powerful family ties and unwillingness to intermingle with foreign cultures and peoples keeps the azu mostly confined to their own current lands. The lake (and the uneven mountain and forest terrain encompassing it) probably act as natural barriers between both factions, and there may have been a series of violent confrontations early on, but I could see both parties eventually regarding one another with general apathy rather than pure animosity.

Unsure if the azu would have tried to make contact with the Federation, though there always could be that one individual that isn't content with just sitting around.

The khari in the mountains---I don't know about them. What are they like both culturally and socially?

I am definitely open to ideas. What did you have in mind?

Unsure at the moment. It's safe to assume that, since both our factions are near the lake, that some form of interaction was had between the azu and the kharis in the past. What would be the Uraka Federation's method of interaction with the azu upon discovering their presence?

We're off topic.

There's probably biomass on other planets as well.

As I said, Earth is not unique in the grand scheme of things, and if the aliens are advanced enough to traverse stars and galaxies, they're basically gods at this point (at least when compared to us), and would have the capacity to generate their own biological material using suitably advanced technology.

I would imagine that the Aliens would want the resources, which is the only reason they're on our planet, the only legitimate one, at least. That would keep them from ruining the entire planet in an instant.Once again, I do not mean to be offensive, I'm working on my CS as we speak.

Earth is hardly unique when it comes to plentiful resources. The aliens could obtain the resources present on Earth by strip-mining uninhabited planets and free-roaming asteroids.

Good choice of Favorite, but... hating ME1? May I ask why?My Fave/Least Fave are as follows.Fave: Mass Effect Series/Dragon Age Series ( I really like RPGs )Least Fave: CoD Ghosts ( Fuck that game ) and Shadow of the Colossus ( Fuck that game, too. )Favorite Moment: Hmm... that's a tough one. I'd say back on Halo 3. I was driving a Ghost, running other people over on one of the bigger maps. Got a spree of 15 "splatters" (killing opponents by running them over). One guy quit and sent me a message saying I was a vulgar and stupid troll. ... considering my Gamertag at the time was "Bukkake Ninjas", he's right. Every time I ran someone over, "You were splattered by Bukkake Ninjas" popped up on their screen. Hilarious.

The ragequits and ensuing PMs are the best.

ME1 irked me beyond all recognition mostly due to its clunky and (sometimes) unresponsive controls. This was so bad during firefights that it distracted me from fully immersing myself into the game environment. That, and the lag/frame rate drops. I probably would have had more fun had I been playing on PC.

Favorite: Anything TES

Least favorite: World of Tanks and Mass Effect 1.

Most memorable gaming moment: Many of these. Mostly clearing entire teams of randoms on Battlefield 3 on Operation: Metro using the UMP-45.

I don't care if that map and gun are both easymode (and if I was only shooting randoms). It's the sheer thought behind the ownage that counts!

I wouldn't be surprised. I guess the only ones who knows are those who survived the great wipe of '13.

Truly a dark day for all.
