Fanclub Yuuzhan'tar: The Yuuzhan Vong Homeworld

Frankly I don't care where we post. But, I don't think we should make any drastic changes such as having the Yuuzhan Vong controlling a majority of the galaxy. That tends to make the games balance of power way to one sided. We can just stick to our continuing power struggle for control of Yuuzhan'tar. If a few other planets are used then so be it. But I really don't want to see this turn into a massive intergalactic struggle.

So far, I think I am the only one who has spent any amount of time off Yuuzhan'tar. And as for which faction that I belong to.....well there isn't one at the momment. Since my character is unaware of the survival of Al'yammka. But if you need a faction then you can call mine the Rogue Element. I'll handle any unaffilated issues that should arise. ex(bounty hunters, summglers, Darksiders and such.)

I think also we should really try to keep a handle on how many players we allow and what type of characters that they use. I have seen some really lame realy powerful characters in some Rp's and it detracts from the game.
Maybe we should have a PM vote on new players
between the 5 of us before we alow any one in they will need a 3 to 2 majority vote of course we would need to limit the time time for voting to 1 day.

 

Why not have everyone start out as "recruits" in a sense- stormtrooper recruits for those who want to join the Empire, cadet officers for those in the GFFA, warrior (or shaper adept, executor, Shamed One, low priest) for the Yuuzhan Vong, etc.

Anyone that wants a higher position has to PM the faction leader for verification.


Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day

 

I don't think there should be a voting process--this isn't meant to be like airport security. The more general SW fans we get, the better off we are.

However, there should be regulation of how powerful people's characters can be. All regulations done within the thread should be common sense-based.

Keep in mind that we all control very powerful characters--I'm an extremely powerful Force-user trained by the best, Yalmak is not only a Force-user, but an expert assassin, jhc and KK lead factions, and Nev has a Star Destroyer to back him up. No god moding is a general rule, but people should be allowed to control very powerful characters--but not gods. In the interests of both realism and story development, Kirian's gotten his ass whipped more than once.

Some people may choose to control recruits, but there should be other positions available--perhaps politicians within the different factions?

 

Crap I over looked AR'slast post. Yeah I control the Sith but its not really a faction there are only 2 of us and there will only ever be 2 of us. I'm not looking to use sith alcolytes or other such things.
I'm gonna stick to the 1 master and 1 apprentice method for the time being, but if I decide to change you guys will be the first to die.........I mean know. Stupid voices in my head are screaming again.

 

I like KK'sidea. If you want to play a powerful character then you should have to earn it.

And we should definately not allow any one to play as any of the main characters (Luke, Han, Jaina, ive got plans for her.) AR being the closest thing we have to a GFFA faction leader should have the final say in what happens to them.

KK plays a good Nom Anor which hasn't been a problem yet but if every one grabbed a main character it would really suck.

 

We need to post a list of characters who are off-limits as player characters, and which ones have already been taken as NPCs.

 

No time like the present here is a starter list.
Luke (AR)
Leia
Han
Jacen
Jaina
Jag
Mara
Kyp
Kyle Katarn (AR)
Nom Anor (KK)
Nas Choka (KK)
Palleon (Nev)
Wedge
Lando
Booster
Corran
and of course all the characters that have already died.


On a side note I really think that this board will pass into the great void shortly after we move to a new location.

 

KK what name do you have in mind for our new location?

 

Why would it die simply because the RP goes somewhere else?

 

With no new books until 2004, and The Yuuzhan Vong having been effectivly banished to the unknown region. I don't think that a whole lot of new disscusions will arise.

I mean not to many people are really fans of the Yuuzhan Vong. Most fans are glad to be rid of them. At least thats the feeling that I get from ready others boards.

 

Something like this, maybe...

Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day

 

I don't control Jacen. He doesn't have any relevance to my part of the plot. Luke, Mara, Cilghal, and Kyle are my only NPCs.

Jacen just happened to be there in the attack, which was the only reason I wrote about him. I don't particularly like Jacen.

Kyle's a Jedi Master as of the time of Jedi Academy, and Cilghal is spelled like I just spelled it.

Hey, every thread has to have a grammar nazi.

I don't have to be the only Jedi. I'm hardly a normal Jedi as it is.

KK forgot about politicians--the various senatorial bodies around the galaxy. Perhaps smugglers could also come into it.

Where have you read that fans are glad to be rid of the YV?

 

Sith Master Whatshisname Is Darth Falcor you cowardly dog. It is a name you would do well to remember for it shall bring about your doom.
---------------------------------------------
OOC
That list works for me and we can always update it if we think of anyone else.

KK11 NPC's don't you think thats a little high for one person I mean your basically making the entire rank structure of your faction off limits to every one. Its kinda of though to make the game hard for you if no one can touch any one in your faction besides the common foot soldier. I don't think as a group we would allow any one to completly decimate your command structure but you really should ease up a little on the NPC's

AR I've seen in a bunch of posts in the lit forum. Even before TUF.

 

Yeah--either that or open up a couple of high-ranking positions as supreme commanders, warmasters, prefects, or shapers.

 

KK don't worry about losing to many "Big Dogs" I am your most dangerous opponent and I wouldn't God Mod your Command staff into oblivion. Granted I did destroy the Ralroost Single handedly but it wasn't really that important to any one and I realy hate the Twin Sun's Squadron

 

well...dang! looks like i missed a major conversation, i was out christmas shopping.... anyways... wow...that took me a while to get through all the posts. but lets see what i can come up with.

yeah, i agree. KK you do have a good bit of main characters that you control. I think that we should all approve the arrival of new people to our thread. i'd rather be extremely snobby...then lax which could end up with some god moding goons. if we dont go with the pm vote, then i would suggest what KK has brought up...starting the newcomers low. ie: stormtroopers, shamed one, warrior, etc...

about the future of this thread. i guess we can still use this thread for something related to the rp. this could be our mostly OOC spot, where we could discuss problems...so as not to muck up the RPthread. Since i am Senator of this thread....unfortunately it has to remain semi active, so i will still frequent the thread. Maybe i'll try to post summaries of the goings on of the war...that way it will not get knocked into euc oblivion.

i'll second yalmak's sentiments about the attitude towards the yuuzhan vong. most hate them...so we're not going to suddenly get an influx of new recruits, but on the flip side there are still new people reading the NJO. So the possibilities are still high that there will still be interest in the yuuzhan vong that could last until the new post NJO trilogy by Denning.

 

If they god mode, can't we just get Protege-of-Thrawn to bust a cork in their ass?

 

yeah true true...but to assure that they dont get the chance....they can start off low.

 

Question: How many other players do you think we could realistically expect to bring in under any set of circumstances that we can control?

 

not sure. i imagine we could get a few. I wasn't really hoping for a large RP...maybe just the addition of say about 5 others. I just do not want to see multiple threads for one RP....like IBOP(which does a wonderful job...) i just don't want to see some of these younger rper's coming through god moding...and POT can only do so much. there's one in particular....Evil King Wiggins who is notorious for god moding.

i'll go back to my first suggestion...post a list of positions that need to be filled, ie: Imperial Captain, Yuuzhan Vong Warrior, GFFA Squad Leader, etc... Just post a list of positions that we are looking to fill and have people request them. we could have 20 positions posted...it doesnt really matter how many...this will allow for new comers to not have to start so far down the totem pole, and also not allow them to creat Rambo Skywalker, elite Jedi Master, appearance: godlike (oh yeah, thats a true example).

 

That's an example of Wiggins' RPing?

You've got to be kidding me.

 

nope. that's why i think if we post what positions we would like to have, that would be a deterrant for god moder hopefuls

 

I agree. We should post what positions we need filled, and if anyone wants to do something different, they can suggest it and we can vote on it, or reach a consensus somehow.

Now, if only we knew what positions we needed filled...

And if we're going to move the RP to the RP forum, what are we going to call it there? Some of the other groups have different names within the RP forum, like (insert club name here) Home Base/Temple/HQ/Happy Fun Playhouse.

I was thinking Yuuzhan'tar Reloaded...and then I stopped smoking crack.

The Citadel?

 

hmmm.....yeah. well, lets see if some of these would be ok:


Empire
Ground Forces Commander
A Star Destroyer Captain(VSD, SD, SSD,...)
Stormtrooper (elite?)
TIE Pilot (dont care what type)
Spy

GFFA
Fleet Commander
Starship Captain (once again it could be a ship of their choosing)
Jedi (non-main character)
Starfighter Lead
Insurgent


Yuuzhan Vong
Warriors (various)
shapers
Ship Commander
Coral Skipper pilot
shamed one
(of course with the yuuzhan vong...they will have to pick sides. either al'Yammka or Nom Anor. They can not start their own insurgencies...if so they should be at the mercy of the local gamer leader. (kk, jhc, yalmak, a_r, and Nev)

Sith
not really sure what we can do with this group. yalmak pretty much has it locked up, but you guys might be able to think of something we might need.

 

Don't worry about the Homeworld falling into the void if you take this over to an RP forum... I'll help keep it alive!

I'm sort of chicken to throw my words into the mix, but I might try my hand at one of the Empire characters or something.... Just let me know if you move the story thread! I'm hooked, you know. Would 'The Damutek' work for the thread name? You know because you will be 'shaping' a story?

EDIT: What does "god moding" mean, btw?
