Anything beyond two paragraphs (3+ on average) and you probably want to look at advanced simply to attract a crowd that finds that sort of thing more appealing.
As for the basic structure, it seems right.
I could offer a thousand suggestions but none would really be useful until you ran an RP either to completion or into the ground. Advice on this is more like dissecting the corpse and finding out why something died rather than trying to anticipate what killed it first.

It didn't occur to you that it just didn't occur to me to edit that? I'll go edit it now.
Much better.

I see nothing wrong in that. Unless it goes sexual, in which case that can go pretty weird pretty fast.

I already noted that part was poorly worded/argued.Plus that's only a very small part of the OP, and you keep bringing it up as if I'm re-using it when I'm not.
Because it's still there. Lets be frank, nobody is going to read through this entire thread. They're going to read that one question because it's at the bottom of the first post.
I mean if you already accept that it's a broken aesop... Then remove it.
Will work on a TLB post Wednesday.

Right on target.What do you find interesting about it?
Well that it ties everyone's ideas together quite neatly. Most times people struggle to form group cohesion but this would pretty naturally create group cohesion. It's also simply different, and sometimes that's nice to have instead of the same formula over and over again.
If I used it I'd probably make sure to add the addendum that the next person adding a character could request to alter certain aspects of the previous submitted. Like the person A who asked for a deputy might instead get a partner--someone equal to them in rank instead of lower, by request of person B, which would then ultimately be moderated by the GM if the two of them can't agree on it.
That aside... Yeah I like it. It's refreshing and different, and functional. Brovo approved!
... Interesting idea. So basically...
Player A: I am the Sheriff and I am talking to my deputy, who...
Player B: Is a short man, who is worried about his friend, because she is a chef who...
Player C: Works in the shop where the murder took place, though she knows the vicitm's husband is an office worker from...
And so on and so forth?

I wonder how the Rooster Teeth people would react to reading two people writing a Micheal x Gavin roleplay.
Probably read it, laugh their asses off, then call the people who wrote it disturbing and weird.
mdk said It seems to all add up to a very aggressive kind of warfare, and it seems (to me) like the kind of environment that only really supports one top-dog. Less like WW2-era dogfighting, more like modern BVR.
Oh definitely. If you can get a fleet into an enemy system you could do some very serious damage and they couldn't stop you generally, because the amount of force necessary to counter-attack would be far greater than to attack.
On the flip side, you could see an enemy fleet approaching from many years away. As well, the faster the assault fleet travels, the slower you can fire counter-measures in comparison before the counter-measures would be impossible to see coming. (If the attack fleet was moving in at 0.8 light speed and counter-measures came at them at 0.2 light speed, the ships would be hit before they could see the counter-measures coming.)
Also, until we get past the light speed barrier, empire is a bit out of the question still. You can't hold an empire together if by the time your communications reach someone, you'd be talking to their grand children.
That aside, yeah, an aggressor in an otherwise equal conflict would probably win. Hard.
ASTA said Huh, well I guess swords, maces and war hammers became useless when suits of plate mail fashioned from the same materials these weapons were created from started appearing on the field, right?
Swords, maces, and war hammers are physical materials that, when used with applied force (energy) can cause damage to other materials made of similar or same materials. A laser is pure energy. Whatever material you have that can contain and fire the laser can also stop that very same laser, by virtue of the fact that your space gun has to be able to contain and then fire that energy. Whereas, say, a mace, does not have to contain any energy. It merely has to transfer it from point A to point B.
Also, the vast majority of medieval soldiers did not have plate mail. They had, at best, chain mail. If it was a plate mail dominated battlefield, you would have seen a hell of a lot more spears and crossbows than there already were, rather than maces and swords.
ASTA said I'm going to let you figure out the tactical flaws in fielding a spinal-mounted DEW in a three-dimensional environment.
I think that was the point...
Kadaeux said A: No, a ship mounting lasers for ANYTHING except point defence is NOT going to mount them in fully traversable turrets. It's going to mount it as a spinal weapon where they can get the most surface-area for the laser (Necessary, as your laser gets more powerful the size of the laser PROJECTOR increases with it.)
He was arguing about the impracticality of laser weapons as offensive weapons. I think the fact that you would have to spinal mount it to get the most power out of it only really goes to support that argument.
ASTA said The irony is crushing.
Like Russian space tech?
mdk said
spaceweapon threads get inexplicably abrasive on RPG. It's almost a social phenomenon.
Sci-fi fans are some of the most hardcore on the planet. Just look at the Star Wars and Star Trek fan bases and how utterly rabid and obsessive they can be. Why is this? I honestly have no clue.
ASTA said
Ha!But it sure does make for good entertainment! :3
That it does.
Imperfectionist said
I'm not Christian, Brovo. I said as much above.
I know. I was just using Jesus as a metaphor and so on. Could have probably better worded that though, so my apologies.
Imperfectionist said And the seething hatred is not quite seething, as I also said. It is gut-wrenching, and sad. It makes me sick that such an intelligent person (much more intelligent than me) can't see the negative effects of his own words and actions, can't see that he is actively campaigning against people who have done no wrong. Gwazi approaches this concept from what I truly believe to be a harmful angle, and I hate him for it. He could do . Instead of engaging perfectly moral people in bullshit "debates" on the Guild, he could use his obvious strengths in logic and rhetoric to argue against the actions of the immoral, twisted people he actually has a case against.Wasted potential, Brovo, and wasted energy, on all our parts. That is what this thread represents.
I'd say amen, but that would be... Ironic.
Gwazi said I started a topic, those who replied made the choice to engage in the debate. I didn't march up to anyone specifically and go "Hey you! Let's debate your Religion!".
Gwazi said If any Religious person is reading this, please answer this question:
If you found out your God didn't exist, would you now go out raping and murdering people? If not then you just proved that you don't need Religion to be a moral human being.
