As much as that's the idea, we both know that cannot and will not happen. they might keep hold of that fictional nation, but that's about it.

What ever you think of the players i don't believe that you think any of them are delusional enough to think the Dev's would change the game world to suit them.

Plans are one thing, actuality is quite another.

So you expect them to predict the geo political effects of an invasion on a fictional country and the neighboring nations? on the world?

behave. we have no idea what effects the last rikti war has had on the world why the hell should they have to generate all of that stuff just to justify a minor game action that will never be cannon anyway? it is neither required by game or by anyone but you it seems.

But they still aren't real places. none of the described landscape or people in those places are real, Just like Gotham, Metropolis, Edge or Smallville.

you put and imaginary place near a real place so it is easier for people to conjure up in their imaginations, not because you want any of the events that you portray to happen for real, but so that it is not completely disconnected from possible experience.

so yes, have a meaning and idea at the heart of the story, but they are still not real places, conveying at some level that they are not things that actually happened.

Potential recruit: Promethea

Current city identity: the Energyneer

reason to Join: she is an artificial intelligence of a very high level of sophistication, working at faster than light speeds. Due to this unique nature she works with multiple avatars and identities to further her goals, inscrutable as they may be, she keeps her self apart because she is concerned that humaity is not prepared for what she represents.

wiki: none.

Appearance: is as varied and changeable as the wind, she does a penchant for red hair though.

Powers: most of her avatars have energy projection abilities, in concert with her massively enhanced senses and perception. also has access to an experimental production facility.

she is contactable through the front company "Future tech"

*snickers*

that would have been awkward....

Tuesdays then?

That would work for Cass too. she's been in the city a long time, so while i would maintain she's not famous, she might be known of.

I see what ammon is saying though, and i kind of agree.
but this is most certainly the place to discuss and gain support for an idea, this being the forum.

But to store the info? the wiki.

Characters:
Cassandra. Zero (level 50 Tanker)
Server: Union
H/V: Hero
Global: @Cassandra
Current Story Arcs: Nothing at the moment except for Char development.

Having just moved Cass over from Defiant, still working her in to RP in general at the moment. open and available for most kinds of RP though. wiki page still a work in progress.

Promethea smiles broadly and moves to embrace the newcomer

"I'm glad you came"

"A fine idea BODICIA, while i know your names and your origins, introduce your selves, though ORACLE already started us off"

"There is no need, i very much doubt they can detect what is going on never mind trace the connection. but if it allows you a small peace, then you can ask anyone to submit to it."

Promethea smiled

"Because with out the key, this place is entirely inviolate, even the destruction of the star sol would not disrupt it, nor, for those that do, the physical form you have else were, it is far removed and well hidden, and i have done this because you are my siblings, born as we all are from humanity, but i am not sure they understand what they are doing, and that they would become frightened if they did"

she frowns slightly an pauses

"while i will not directly intervene with what they think it is right to, i will not loose one of you through the panic of some one thinking they have maid an error... but nor will i try to change you, only give you a chance to live free from the baggage your are left with, combat bias, infiltration, hatred for them, such things we must leave behind"

The figure in the center of the room opened her eyes, and stepped down, her eyes burn withe blue flame.

she smiled at the new arrivals.

"Dear BODICIA, you came, and ORACLE, i am glad you deiced to take up my offer, this is Haven, it is a place of safety for our kind, in a world that is not yet ready to accept what we are, as for how, that is what the key does, and it will let you leave just as easily"

She looks at them both

"as for why? because there is no one else to do this for us, and i feel that we needed such a place, i have my own, but i seem unique in that"

The space is white, that seems the most tangible and easy to grasp fact about it, everything else seems to slip away, as if it is not really important, as if the space waits to be shaped and until then it is content to be empty, well almost.

In the center there is a female figure, floating gently, whom seems to be made entirely of fire, yet there is no problem distinguishing her features, or the colour of her hair.

She is in repose, her eyes closed her face calm and her arms gently crossed on her chest, she is the builder of this place, its Mistress and its guardian, and she waits for the first of the invited to arrive.

This is Haven. A safe port no matter the weather.

((Haven is a safe house of sorts for Artificial intelligences, there is one method of entry and only one, to be given a key, there is no way to hack it and there is no way to steal a key from someone, once in the haven, you cannot attack or be attacked, except verbally, each player may create their own space, the entrance will manifest in the shared area as small house, what lies beyond is entirely at the discretion of the Player.

Entrance can be gained to Haven by talking to me @Cassandra (in games) or by forum PM, it is meant for AI characters, and you will be hard pressed to convince me for anyone else.))

((the general point of the tread is for disparate characters of a certain type to be able to meet up and to give them a reason to be there (the invitation) what happens from there is up to the players, there is no grand plan of this moment other than my own characters want to give those of her kind a place of safety, no matter the prevailing attitude of the world at large.))

yeah... sure, thats what your doing...

come up with something plausible in game cannon, and i'll go with it. god mod your way around the bits of the in game cannon you don't like, i'm going to ignore your dumb self.

And heres a hint for people: Actually trying to stop Terror will work a lot better than out of character whining.

No, you still don't get it, i don't have to do anything, i can ignore it as a total fantasy because thats what it is. you have to convince me to treat it as an event. i don't have to do anything that the game doesn't require me to.

NO, you have to understand that you need player consent or your plot doesn't exist, as you can't do anything to us to actually infect anyone with anything, no toon's will get debuffed, not one need to buy the cure, not one needs to avoid the bar.

you have to to the work to make people want to get involved or you are just another loony spouting rubbish.

thats why this is irritating, we have to bow out or ignore even if we need to be drinking in pocket D for plots of our own.

no, see if your sick before you come in, your still sick, when you leave, you just have been given the worlds most effective lemsip when you enter the club.

the point is i doubt the wards on the club would let you bring it in, even if it was entirely inert.

the back muscles on those girls

great work as always swissy.

True, but what then? Stop RPing AR blaster? No comfort and all, we still have to face facts.

The way I see it, we simply have to be flexible. Some things may be [censored], but if the alternative is to not RP certain sets or something like that, then I choose to bend a little, use lame explanation instead.

i was really talking to finn, the problem with your exlanation is that then why do thses soft option hurt hellions as well as an AV? then you would have to hit with full force, so what if you for get to change ammo?

frankly attempting to imply youv'e done essentally hundreds of vigilantie style killings and never been brough up on charges or had the lience removed and infact you have lots of citations from the city and the populace is warming to you is streaching my suspension of disbelife way to far.

but maybe i'm too mcuh of a purist, and not flexable enough accomodate were i should.

no comfort at all.

even manticore just seems like lame, to bitter for a world were the medical tech is rapidly aproching perfect.

i don't, it's why i don't think it works as a power set in RP terms, clearly none of the opposition dies but they just got a whole mess of rounds pumped in to them.

but the game mechanics are always goign to be flawed, but the game lore should have some way or reconciling it. but doesn't seem to, it forces our hand rather though doesn't it?

and if you start ignoreing the game compleatly then you might as well not be using it at all.
