Metagalactic Warfare: OOC Thread [Non-Session] (Postponed for Maintenance)

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Dolphins, welcome to...


The premise is entirely too simple really, I'm looking for the participation of all active race creators, in order to engage in the most holy of activities: Interstellar war!

I'm looking, to hopefully have a number of players take command of entire civilizations, and wage war against competing races.

There are a few ways that this could be done: Either through roleplay, where you take command of a leader and dictate how your civilization will react to contact with other races, and choose either diplomacy or aggression, or through a more strategy like game where simple commands are made to your civilization to take certain objectives, and dice rolls will determine the outcome based on a few factors. In that case, I would act as a GM. There could also be some mixture of the two, or a perhaps a personal preference for one or the other.

Personally, I'd rather go with role play, but whatever is seen as the easiest way to do this, I will abide!

Is anyone interested? :D

Interested Parties:

UPDATE: Metagalactic Warfare is currently undergoing a major rework, as per this post: https://homestuckrole-play.rpg-board.net/t2317p75-metagalactic-warfare-ooc-thread-non-session-one-race-spot-open-partners-allowed#32375

Also, I should have noted: People who HAVEN'T designed a race may take command of one who's creator doesn't appear to be active, or if you receive permission from them.

This is supposed to be as inclusive as possible! :D

I will put up a race but will not be active much so i require a substitute for when i'm gone. here's the race bio: https://homestuckrole-play.rpg-board.net/t2161-the-romanii-race#28190
also roleplay sounds good

SHould I play the Cadmus or the Mandrakes duel?

God damn this sounds rad, but i don't really have a custom race.

Wanna use one of the ones I don't end up using?

Aw yeah thanks man that would be top tier.

@Vriska's Matesprit, Gladiator race, eh?

Either is fine by me, BK. Glad you worked something out with Lazy :)

Also, just so people are aware, this is an Interest Check, so this is like, the Alpha planning stage. I don't foresee starting this until sometime this coming month. If you would like to suggest a start date, that would be much appreciated! :D

This sounds interesting and I do have a race but it isn't approved by the admin yet.
By the way, it's the Dreadion race.

I'd like to use my fanrace, Goblins. This is a really cool idea.
Also if possible, I'll need someone to help with my replies since there are multiple times where I am unable to reply.

I'm currently working on a race called the C.a.p.s.u.l.e.s, but they aren't done yet :/ Once I finish them I'd love to join! I might have it done this week, I'll leave a link as soon as its approved.

All accepted on the condition that they are accepted races by the launch date, which stands at being undetermined for now.

Also, those looking for partners, I would suggest asking other people to figure that out prior to the launch date. This is because, as nice as I am, I'm not going to find your partners for you :P

@BK and lazyMarauder, have you figured out who is taking who, yet?

Pick a race for me Duel, mandrakes or cadmus

for (partners wanted) does that mean allies or someone to do the rp with them?

Ummm, okay than, @lazyMarauder what do you want? I love both the species for different reasons :/

@devlishBladesmen, those looking or partners, are those who don't think they'll always be active for the thread, so would need a substitute from time to time to manage their race in the war.

@All, once we begin the thread, shall all races have already assumed first contact, or is that something we would like to experience in the thread?

Also, would we like the humans or trolls to be present civilizations in this RP, or go Fanon all the way? I feel like we should keep it fanon, but I'm welcome to whatever you guys want to do.

I'm cool with whichever, but if i could pick i'd pick the Cadmus. They sound so fucking rad. But still, cool with whichever.

cadmus you get then. I shall be the Mandrakes

Wonderful! Is first contact a thing that already happened with all the races, or do we want to RP that out, and do we want trolls/humans involved in anyway? Personally, I don't want trolls/humans, but I'll roll with whatever it is you guys want to do :)

There should be a UN-like sort of thing. An annual meeting of civilizations. That's where most of the cool political shit could happen.

This image inspires me to make an insectoid race. Think I should do this?

I've been thinking of making a Greek-inspired race so if I do make it, I might just use that one instead.

if you make a Greek Race Ling, our races would become mortal enemies. also, the political shizzle is cool beans wih me

@Vriska's Matesprit

But it'll be fun seeing how that turns out. :3 Being mortal enemies could add fuel to the war.

so you're going to keep the city state style, yes?

@BK, sure, might make it easier on you than trying to adapt the Mandrakes for space warfare.

You got plenty of time :)
