Current I do not "brainrot". I brainferment so my brain will become even smoother and even more potent than before in its smoothness.

Sorry for my absence! A Volunteering position suddenly turned into a Volunteer Leadership position I was not expecting at all so things have been hectic.

Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards

Can we please just not get into the nuances of sci-fi and stuff like that? Since if you want a sci-fi NRP to die quick, going into that stuff is a prime method of doing it. Just accept things how they are and don't bring up "oh but thing X can do Y better than thing Z can" or stuff like that which can be seen as trying to minmax the shit out of something. Seriously, that's not fun for anyone and tends to make people look more like an insufferable know-it-all.

Lord Regent Karthis

@Hecticlord




Having memory of a conversation with someone who wanted him to forfeit all his power and "full integrate" into their petty Imperium fresh in his mind, Karthis was not exactly all too amused when someone else came along and wanted him to basically do the same. Just sign over all of his military assists to some one with a shiny badge to "consolidate power structure" or at least "station a liaison on his ship".

There was plenty of what Karthis deemed to be a personal affront and he felt urges to do something stupid, but he tempered his emotions and preformed a breath exercise. Four breaths in, four breath out, repeat four times to complete one set and do as many times as needed. Cracking his neck and stretching his back, he sent a message back to this "Lord-Militant Gabriel Corbec, of the Imperial Guard". Karthis wondered if it was a title he took for himself or some honorary position that Gregori had slapped onto him to keep him loyal and feeling important.

Lord-Militant Gabriel Corbec, of the Imperial Guard,

I have only recently been preparing for an 'integration' into the petty imperium of Gregori Amastov. I am denying your request to assume complete control over my own forces for reasons that I do not feel like I need to explain. As of right now, they are under my command and only your Emperor Gregori having a position higher than I in the chain of command.

In addition, I will not be accepting any "liaisons" of your own persons on my ship for any business relating to military command or watching my every action. My men are Nova Miliatrum and they are loyal to the fleet first and will remain that way as of right now. You need not worry about coordination for standard military communications should suffice; I fail to see how you need a detachment of your own men aboard my fleet to ensure vox or astropahtic communications.

I have confidence in that in the upcoming battle there should be no need for such detailed and paranoid linkage of observations troop movement and battle plans to the degree which you press unto me unless you truly have such little faith in the abilities of your commanders and officers.

With the division of our two armies, I can assure you that we will have a tactical advantage over our enemy. You see, should we be a single body, any infiltration of our ranks and espionage of our battle plans could potentially destroy us as the enemy will know exactly where the bulk of our forces will be. However, should we have our armies be separate, the enemy will have to exhaust more time and effort in attempts at stealing both of our united battle plans meaning they will only be able to know half of our on goings. In addition, the consolation of such forces will only put a strain on your commanders as they attempt to lead and command forces twice as large as they are used to which will obviously cause issues. Your experience in the Imperial Guard should tell you that it is harder to command large units of troops and assets effectively.

Going beyond that, having troops of two very distinct and different cultures on the eve of a battle will not be doing anyone any favors as culture shocks and social difference would divide the troops at a very base level. Their combat effectiveness will undobutly suffer because of this. In addition, your commanders will not have the respect nor trust of my men and vice versa. Surely you in all of your wisdom as a Lord-Militant and exprience can see reason in this all. As such, in the light of this logic I will not be resigning my own forces to you but fear not, they still fight under the banner of Gregori Amaztov.

Imperium Aeturnum,

Lord Regent Karthis, of the Ark Imperialis
@Ophidian Praise be the Omnissiah, heretek

This is intriguing.

@Keyguyperson Would I be allowed to be a non-corporate entity on Mars? Namely one that's a quasi-religious cult order with an obsession about machines and the integration of man and machine through bionics and prosthetics? Speaking of which, how advanced would prosthetics be at his point?

Welcome

Based upon the /tg/ homebrew setting Walmart Apocalypse, this RP will be set within the confines of one of many mega Walmarts that people have flocked too when the world ended. Now how big are these megawalmarts you might ask? Try "the size of small countries"; these places are massive and seemingly go on forever and had their own residential blocks in the ages past, watched over by the eternally vigilant and murderous Stockerbots who both restock the sheleves and brutally slaughter anyone committing a crime. Given that everyone is basically committing some crime by simply having to "shoplift" to survive, just about everyone is a target so do try your best to say away from them.

As for what this RP will entail, it is based on a group of Bargain Hunters, a catch all term for mercenaries, explorers and adventurers. The group will go through various biomes, cultures and peoples all without suffering horrible fates (hopefully). Given as the "canon" (the linked page)lore is some what sparse, lore development and world building will also be a part.

CSs will be given the "mob democracy" review in which everyone gets to review and critique each other's character but I as GM will have final say. That said, come into this RP knowing that I can be a hardass GM at times and that there will still be limits as to what your characters will be like (ie having guns is something that will be heavily looked into) as well as being able to write at a high casual level and remain level headed and accept that things will not always make scientific sense.


Rules

  • Be Mature and Follow Basic Rules - Don't be a dick, godmodder, poor sport, metagamer, keep interpersonal conflicts out of OOC, etc. Basic RPing manners really.
  • GM is God - My word is hallowed law and my will shall be done. I am a hardass GM but I do tend to be benevolent unless something requires me to be otherwise in which case I will become a hardass. I also reserve the right to retcon things and break my own rules as I see fit.
  • Timely, Good Posts - Try and post regularly, I'm not going to make any strict posting requirements but do try and stay active OOC/IC. If you have to drop out, please tell me; I don't hate when people drop and tell me, I do when they don't. I also suspect that people should be able to write decently length posts, nothing overboard but I will go after you if you make a 3 sentence post or something.
  • Have Fun - Seriously, this is all for shits and giggles and mocking consumerist culture and capitalism and stuff like that. If you have any ideas that you think would improve the RP/world in some way, do speak up.


CS Guide

Here is the CS Guide. I'm implementing "mob democracy" in that people can comment and offer suggestions to other people's characters provided they stay civil. Final approval however is still in the hands of the GM. Do make sure that your character is logical to established "lore" though.




Lore

Here is the storage place for anything homebrew that we make in the RP. Terms, equipment, factions, people, lore, etc. Shall be used shortly.
