Leaving Earth (early FT; OOC & planning & signup thread)

The Free Priesthood
20-07-2008, 11:31
I'd like to play the early history of my FT nation. Since this is "history", there are some limits on what can happen in the story:

- There has to be a global religious war on Earth or in the whole solar system (anyone want to play a nation participating in it? I suppose at least two of these are needed.)

- All sides in the conflict try to eliminate the Free Priesthood (which has members in all nations)

- There will be large(-ish) spaceships meant for transport within the solar system which are in principle capable of leaving the solar system. No teleportation, FTL, gate systems, etc though.

- The FP will steal a ship or a few ships and manage to get away to a remote planet where no alien in their right mind would follow (very poisonous wildlife, and the locals are strong, wear cloaking armor, and tend to kill everything that doesn't belong on the planet).

- There may be some encounters with aliens along the way.

Anyone interested?

me me me me im interested in this! *rasies hand*

my nations histroy we have tried millions of times to get pasat the nebula and failed(untill recently or seemed to fail so that gives me reason i i can join to have the odd smallish transport/kewen sceince vessel in this if you want if not/ dont think its a good idea i understand.

I'm up for it. I'll RP the future of my nation - we're very anti-religious and in the near future i can see us going on some global crusade to rid the world of god.

To Kewen: if you don't mysteriously disappear from the thread again, you're in. I can easily see the discovery of intelligent alien spiders leading to war between atheists and rabid creationists. One little problem: you made first contact with the Free Priesthood a few hundred years after the events we're going to play now. We'll have to figure out how the FP managed to forget about the existence of a race as remarkable as the Kewen.

By the way, Ziolis may be in this as a random encounter as well.

To Belschaft: Great! Now we still need some intolerant religious nation. Do you know anyone?

A little background info: the Free Priesthood is an organization of pacifist polytheists. Their basic idea is "We will accept the existence of your deities if you accept the existence of ours"... which of course is considered heresy by both religious and atheist fundies.

I wouldn't mind doing this sort of RPG. I could make it the Lynion's leave Earth for their homeworld. But that is if you would allow it and I'll manage to tie everything in with the RPG.

Alright, here we go: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13850927

To Kewen: If you want to play, you can describe a news item about your race being discovered now. Otherwise, I guess the news item will be some declaration of war.

To Lynion: If your race is humanoid, you're welcome (an intelligent non-humanoid species already living on Earth would remove all sense from the discovery of the Kewen being an indirect cause of conflict).

Kewen no long intelligent alien spiders as they change to a new race
The Free Priesthood
20-07-2008, 15:32
Hmm. Well, if the Kewen are humanoid now, then their discovery being the cause of the trouble would mean the Lynion couldn't be on Earth, no matter what they look like.

Since there apparently are many humanoid but non-human nations, it probably is most convenient if we decide that those are already known and accepted on Earth (they don't defeat the "In Gods image" thing as much as spiders do). If we have any creatures that don't look human wanting to participate, their discovery will be the trigger of conflict. Otherwise, it will just be a random declaration of war, probably by Belschaft.

BTW, any highly religious Earth nations, or anyone willing to RP one for this story?

20-07-2008, 15:37
shapeshifters is the only thing i know what Kewen new race may be
Lynion
20-07-2008, 15:37
That's cool. I'll make it the Kingdom of Lynion is about to be transported to their home planet which they came from. They are a race of vampires and werewolves and they are alien.
The Free Priesthood
20-07-2008, 16:15
Gee, what is it with nationstates, FT, and werewolves and vampires?

And, of course, if this looks like a citizen of your Earth nation, you're wanted in this story: :hail:

You said in the IC thread taht the worlds bee npeacfull - can you dedit that to the total opositite? If there's a huge relegious war going on, leading to your people to plan to flee, I don't think it would be peacefull?
The Free Priesthood
20-07-2008, 17:17
Explanation of "peaceful": From the perspective of the FP it obviously isn't peaceful, since they are a prosecuted minority. For everyone else, it's the silence before the storm. I made a small edit to make the situation more clear.

The FP doesn't plan to leave the planet yet - if they had plans, they wouldn't end up in a crazy place like Fir!n. But once the world war starts, the nations in which they live will try harder to wipe them out, leaving them no option but to bring all members together in one place, steal some ships, and flee into the unknown.

Im in hellz yah!

BTW

This will be near the beginning of the Ziolisian Space Travel and unfortunately the leaders in this time were cruel and nazi like.
Ziolis
21-07-2008, 05:46
have inserted a newscast about the uprising of the Ziolisian people

Would you like a defender?
Kewen
21-07-2008, 10:19
well ive made a opening post, and the ship that mentioned can easily hold about 100-150 people but is usualy crewed by 15. it has no guns though!
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 10:59
I'm not sure if I understand what Ziolis is up to, but I can imagine it causing a big mess, which is good.

As for the Kewen post... I can work with that. *evil grin*
Kewen
21-07-2008, 12:31
And im sorry for dropping out of the other post
things were hectic at that time
and i fell very far behind so igave up wont happen in this one!
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 12:43
Kanami: If you are human, feel free to cause a mess in whatever way you like, except for helping me. If you're alien, I probably could use some help once I'm off the planet.

Kewen: Okay. Looks like we're going to have some fun!
Kewen
21-07-2008, 12:49
LMAO! your pope died of a heart attack bwahahahahahahah lol *is dying of laughter IRL*


errm also now that i killed your pope and started a war what else is there for me to do?
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 13:01
Belschaft: on which continent is you nation?
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 13:40
Kewen: Strictly speaking not my pope, because the Catholic Church is an enemy of the FP, but yea...
I guess that for now you can continue to cause panic and confusion by letting odd creatures run around Vatican City / Rome.

I hope nobody minds I'm RPing both the Free Priesthood and an unnamed Christian nation that includes (part of?) Italy for now...
Kewen
21-07-2008, 13:51
whooo furst things first im going bed soon so like one more post and my man just tried to take away yer rifle no response?
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 13:57
I hope Belschaft has some sort of defense system against nukes...

Kewen: response added.
Belschaft
21-07-2008, 14:51
I do. Missile bases locate on small islands around Iceland (Wich is where I'm located. If I ever mention a desert it's ice desert - they exist - an ice waste is a desert technicly. Of course makes growing food hard but we have masive underground greenhouses for that and we have heat from the volcanic activity bellow the island.)
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 15:31
I know nukes are a bad idea, but consider that this country - let's call them the New Roman Empire - is led by people who think they're fighting back against demons... and are happy to have an excuse to try to wipe out other religions and atheists.

If everyone acted reasonable, we wouldn't get a global religious war, now would we?
Belschaft
21-07-2008, 15:35
And i have acted reasonably. I'm just going to napalm bomb rome. It'l give me a chance to use ana aircraft carrier I'm trying to build in MT, wich apparntly is imposible. As this is late PMT/early FT I can use it.
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 16:08
Ick, napalm. So it's going to "rain fire"? How apocalyptical.

When in my initial IC post I made Andrea worship Ishtar (AKA the Whore of Babylon) that was just random, not to create any similarity with the Book of Revelation.

I hope we're not going too far here...
Belschaft
21-07-2008, 18:39
Not really. I thought the entire point was to fuck earth up so much that everyone wants to leave?
The Free Priesthood
21-07-2008, 20:15
I meant "going too far" in the sense that making a RP too similar to the end of the world as predicted in the Bible might be bad taste. Apart from that, I think it's okay to fuck up the earth pretty bad, but not so much that nobody wants to live there anymore (to avoid history mismatches in other RPs). Global war - yes; making the world uninhabitable - no.

By the way, you totally should name the commander of the Glory Nero :) .
Ziolis
22-07-2008, 23:36
uh im hoping Andrea is from NYC cause i posted that i dunno why maybe im wrong?
The Free Priesthood
23-07-2008, 09:56
NYC or thereabouts. Earlier I wrote she lived in a megacity called "New York" after one of the cities that were part of it.
Kewen
23-07-2008, 10:13
Hope i didnt go overboard wit blowing up Vatican city to unearth my spacecraft.
Belschaft
23-07-2008, 13:09
I set fire to Rome - I'm not sure if anyone would have noticed you blowing up Vatican City

lolz my team just ordered an orbital strike on earth, i guess after that FP can leave?
The Free Priesthood
24-07-2008, 17:18
Eek. Not so fast, I'm still busy moving my people from around the world to Belschaft, and then I still have to figure out how to steal a spaceship there.
Kewen
25-07-2008, 10:32
TFP! you could steal mine its warp hole is set to a random barren/inhospitable planet to hide the ship for another few thousand years.
The Free Priesthood
25-07-2008, 12:01
Might do that, although it's more likely I'll steal a human ship - the manual would be easier to read. The wormhole will be useful, though.

By the way, I guess Andrea might be an ancestor of Aniska... Pretty similar characters.
Belschaft
25-07-2008, 12:28
Just a heads up to everyone, someone might have to RP for me in this thread as I'm going away for two weeks soon. Sorry for the inconveinience.
Kewen
25-07-2008, 12:36
Belschaft PM me a list of your motives what you got there and generally how you want to behave and ill do it!
The Free Priesthood
25-07-2008, 17:35
If you didn't get a reply to that -

If I remember correctly they just dislike religion a lot, a lot of things would be underground, and since they normally play MT, you can probably just make stuff up. Behavior: sensible, but iron fist?
Belschaft
25-07-2008, 19:34
Yep that's pretty much all of it. Were in Iceland, and heavily overpopulated.
The Free Priesthood
26-07-2008, 17:15
Belschaft (Kewen?): what is your response to the refugees? Put them in a camp? Welcome them with open arms?
Belschaft
26-07-2008, 17:21
I'd probally let them in on a points system. Doctors get in easy, the un-employed less so. But it's Kewens decison.
Ziolis
27-07-2008, 05:16

Because of this shooting (http://www.wbir.com/news/breaking/story.aspx?storyid=61322&catid=29) I might not be in the mood for playing religious war for the next few days. It's not near me at all, but it's my religion and I know people who know these people...

hurmmmmm church shooting eh? hurmmmmmmm hurmmmmmmmm this doesn't effect me as much as it should even though im of Christian Religion, hmmmmmmmmmmmm i thinks every church need a taser or something like the pastor shuld have a taser
The Free Priesthood
30-07-2008, 10:03
Yes, let's give every church a taser. And every classroom. And every public space. Yes. More tasers. LOL

Don't worry about not feeling affected, the school shootings didn't affect me much even though I did attend school.
Also, I'm a UU by choice (I grew up more or less without religion) so I suppose I might feel more connected to this group than the average Christian feels to theirs.

Anyway, back to the story. *pokes Kewen*
Kewen
30-07-2008, 10:09
*ispoked* wut?!?!!? IM VERY ANGRY RIGHT NOW!!!!.

i just dl v1.6 for COD4 after waiting like... 3 hours then when i install the motherF****ng exe file for theg ame to run up and leaves and IT WONT WORK

*cries* i am emotinally distressed now but will do my best to post. *sniff*

and TFP your not in my secrect hanger, my gear and the horse i rode in on is in the middle of a large smoking craater right were vatican city used to be :P.
The Free Priesthood
30-07-2008, 10:57
Not yours, Belschafts.

I guess I should be happy I don't even know what COD4 is :) .

I know it was (near) godmodding to say the launch site was there, but there's no way I could fit enough of my people on the Kewen ship, and Ziolis seems to want to wipe out most of humanity...
(I need to send more than a few people to Fir!n because they'll need to learn to survive there - maybe 80% wouldn't survive, and THEN the population needs to grow to about 4000... Too few people and you would get too much inbreeding, and then they would all die instead of stabilizing at a few thousand)

So... About 200 people trying to get into that Belschaft launch site now.

Ziolis: yes, disabling all electronics in an area where I'm trying to steal spaceships is very helpful. Well, it would be if I wanted bricked spaceships, lol.
Kewen
31-07-2008, 10:23
TFP the ship has statis pods, so you could put like.. 100 of your people in the pods while the rest stand around the ship i.e they all fit! lol :P


also ! who said we going to taxi you anywhere heheh.. im tempted to abandon you :P but i wont coz im nice be we is going to dump you on the planet and fly away. or burying the ship deep inside the planet.
The Free Priesthood
31-07-2008, 16:07
At this point your intentions don't matter much, the bricked Belschaft spaceships are useless anyway. But yea, please do take me away from earth, otherwise my people will die and then SOMEHOW end up on a far away planet. That wouldn't make sense.

Also, if you bury the ship, I can take precautions so nobody will try to mess with it.

Small hint: if you bring me straight to Fir!n, try to avoid doing much damage to nature (except in landing, that should be OK), otherwise you'll have to deal with very strong and violent invisible predators...
Kewen
31-07-2008, 23:09
does blasting a large hole from orbit hiding in the hole and sleeping for a few thousand years fit into your plan?
The Free Priesthood
01-08-2008, 09:47
*shrug* that should work, if you do it after dropping off the humans, and sufficiently far away from them. That would direct the attention of the locals away from the humans instead of making them the obvious to be accused (and then killed) party.
Kewen
01-08-2008, 09:52
yep sure., also Ziolis leave teh refugees awone!you already bricked there escape route so stop hounding them go off and into a MAJOR civillion pop center not randomlyin the middle of nowhere.
The Free Priesthood
01-08-2008, 11:01
Just a note... the "stealth sailboat" is very hard to see on radar and such (duh), has camouflage colors (dark gray hull and transparent sails) and doesn't generate much heat (just the beings on it). In other words, once it's away from the coast it's pretty unlikely anyone will notice it.
