OOC: This entire RP is basically based around a murderous Nuclear World War that renders a greater part of the world uninhabitable. Only small parts of west and south Africa, the eastern part of Brazil and Central Europe are left, forcing the last 2 billion survivors of the planet. They now live on massive orbiting colonies. Even with the devastation wreaked years earlier have failed to leave an impression on the human race. Instead of becoming more pacified and united, the human race is instead becoming more brutal and divided. Wars are breaking out in orbit. This is what we are RPing the wars that break out in space, and the lives of those left to fend for themselves on what is left of earth. (I will be posting the full 'historical' reference on this tragic event that forced humanity off the planet in a little while) Does it sound interesting?

I'd participate.

Cool, any suggestions on how to make this idea better?

OOC: Sound alot like the Guild wars from Starcraft only instead of nukes, fascism took over earth and the survivors were forced into space and started nuking each other and attacking each other with space marines and tanks.

OOC2: I think using SC terran tech is more than appropriate for this thread. Is it ok if people use terran technology like SCVs and seige tanks?

Well, I think you should make some limits on the tech that nations can use. After all, it'd hardly be fair for a PMT nation to end up taking on, oh, say, Amazonian Beasts or something.

Humanity Lost



9 June 2057



On June 9 2057, the World erupted into a violent frenzy of chaos. The War on Terror begun by the American Government had yet to reach its conclusion, though the targets and the terrorist leaders had long since changed. With the explosion of a single nuclear bomb on American soil, retaliation was swift. America launched the full force of its nuclear arsenal against targets in the Middle East. This was met with dismay by the international community and subtle threats turned swiftly into all out Nuclear War. With in days of total nuclear bombardment on every continent of the world, the population of the world has been reduced from a staggering 15 billion to only 2 billion. Most of the human population escaped soon after the war ended into near earth orbit on massive space stations, turned orbiting colonies. This has not ended the war that begun on earth, World War III is not over; it has merely entered a new region.

By PMT, are you refering to Premodern tech or post modern tech. I was refering to post modern with PMT.

I could use some help in decideing what techs should be allowed.

Oh, and I have just decided since this thread is going in the direction of an organizational type, I will make another IC thread when everything is worked out. The Humanity Lost post is sort of like a preview.

I'm refering to postmodern as well. But FT gets you stuff like forcefields, while PMT denies you that.

I see, well I think everyone should pretty much be on the same playing field, maybe a few disadvantages here or there, but nothing major!

I guess, you will have to ask British Londinium, he is helping organize this.

It's not my RP, so the final decision isn't mine, but I would think Terran tech from starcraft would be acceptable. No Zerg or Protoss stuff though.

This RP sounds like it has a lot of potential. I'm definately game to get involved. Quick question: is there room for a nation or group that IS attempting to salvage unity amidst the chaos? I think such a group would add an interesting ingredient to the hostile setting. What do other players/organizers think?

I wouldn't have a problem with it...

Sounds cool. Can I join? (Also, I support using FT)
