This is where all the OOC chatter will be for this thread. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=561804)

Please try not to use too much OOC on the IC thread. Where possible, please post here. Also, if you are looking to join in, but do not have an invite, you may apply in this thread.

How should we join exactly? I really hate to 'just be passing by...'
Meh, I'll think of something...

How do we apply for this? I am curious.

quick question, just to double check, as your capital is on earth, but I do remember reading about other worlds. You do have out of Sol colonies right?

If you all just wait until an oppertune moment to join in, I shall get to a decent point soon enough. Telros, wait for me to advance a little and then state what it is you want to do.

Tor yvresse, Please view my factbook for info on colonies.

I don't mind waiting, no rush. ^^

Ok then. It'll take a few posts, but you should be able to join in.

A few things, first I need to ask a massive favour, that is a little cheeky. I want to use for a brief appearance one of my named Chars in my next few posts, she won't kill anyone or stick around to the end, but she will be attempting to gain secret entry to the Palace to see the Emperor.

I don't want her killed, I like this char and want her for other Roleplay stuff, so I'm going to ask that she be not killed and let go if caught. I know it's cheeky and a pain in the arse, but I promise she won't kill anyone or provide harm worse than a hangover the next day.

To further this aim I have written a post that makes a few assumptions about your palace TIN. Nothing too big just that it has outer walls patroled by guards, that servants need papers and that with sufficent money paid said papers can be faked enough that in a confusing moment with many drunk guards on duty, might get past inspection.

If any of that is a problem I'll alter the post this is why I'm posting this OOC now before the fact Gregory has gone rogue is made public to give you the chance;)

That's ok. I appreciate that you asked first. You might get quite involved with the Emperor, given your shared hate of Gregory. I suggest you view my latest post for ideas...

Oh I noticed the post where the Emps was going to make a public statement I was just unsure if he had made it yet.

He has now. Just as a warning now though, you might capture Gregory during this RP, but please don't kill him. He's going to fulfil his destiny in this RP.

To be honest OOCly I had assumed I wouldn't get Gregory, I have a feeling you intend for him to win and replace your Emperor. Oh no my plan is far more cunning than that, sir, as cunning maybe as a fox, certainly actually something so cunning that it may help Gregory to win...

I thought long and hard about finding a way for my guys to get what they want while not derailing your plot, and I think I have a way. NPCs will suffer I fear but in the end the Emperor will come out of it clearly the villian, and Gregory will be the hero. If that is okay with you?

Remember my guys don't actually care if the Emperor wins or loses, but they'll happily use him for their own gains and drop him when they get em.

yeah, that's roughly the story, but there will also be a little tragedy inbetween. It's going to get complicated...

That billion-credit bounty provides a solid reason for Aletian involvement, but I'm not sure I want them wholly on the side of the Emperor on this one. I know this is a symptom of having a conscience when my characters are supposed to have virtually none, but I would like to have some side-switching, selling out and playing some ends towards the middle. Shall I go ahead and use the bounty as a vehicle for just getting in there, and see what twists and turns we can make of things as events progress? Just letting you know that even though I'm gonna be coming in on the villain's side, by no means do I have stay there.

Perfectly understood. When it comes to bounties, some people do become scum... :p

May I ask what is going on? The plot basically?

Perhaps you should try reading.

Dude, Imperial, there's a lot there to read. Especially your starting posts.

No need to be snarky about it, IN.

Ok sorry. :p

Basicly, Gregory's uncovered a plot to invade Moleland with a new superweapon. The Emperor is trying to stop him, placing a bounty on his head. There's just been a public broadcast for a weapons test, which obliterated all life on a backwater planet.

Basicly there's gonna be a big battle. Anything specific you wanna ask?

Perfectly understood. When it comes to bounties, some people do become scum... :p

Oh, they won't become scum, they were already that way. ;) Besides, they do their utmost to stay within the terms of their contracts, they're just shameless about using the fine print to maximize their profits. :D

Raises hand oddly in the back... before you race your emperor away.. I did have someone trying to sneak in to see him, back on oh page two of the thread, I know you got distracted with the Mole part of the plot but...

He hasn't left yet, you still have a chance. I'll wait for you before I continue.

Ok everyone, moleys gone on holiday, so the battle can't start till he gets back. In the meantime, this gives us a chance to RP any bounty hunter attempts, and I can finish the convo with Tor Yvresse and the Emperor.
