Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

CRUX FLEET: A space exploration game

Crux Fleet A space exploration game

Humanity has expanded its borders. Forming a Confederation of Inhabited Systems with several other races discovered after First Contact, and facing the strain on their home planet, mankind took to the stars, placing colonies first in their own systems, then in friendly systems, and finally in roving colony fleets. The 43rd Scutum-Crux Fleet was designed to colonize any HZ-class planet, with a cityship, three gargantuan agricultural vessels, and a fleet of nearly a dozen warships to protect such easy targets from pirates, slavers, and enemies of the Confederacy. It had gone well, until a being of immense power, a trickster, decided to 'assist' them on their goal and transported them across the galaxy, to the unexplored portion on the other side of the Galactic Core. The planets they found there were certainly suitable for life, but they were also inhabited. And, regrettably, hostile. Surrounded by unknown races that they couldn't communicate with, the fleet moved on, desperate to find a sanctuary to settle the colony on and regain communications with their superiors. That was nearly 125 years ago. It is now 0458 A.C. The fleet still moves on, navigating through friendly space and avoiding pirates and enemy war fleets alike. This is the kind of thing you hear when you wake up. The first thing you'd noticed was the beep of heart monitors. Dozens of them. A blinking light somewhere in your field of vision said 'Awake', and nurses were heading towards you. The room is bright, almost too bright for your eyes, but there are filled beds and people floating in tanks as far as the eye can see. When the nurses finally reach you, they smile in relief and offer you a wheelchair. They don't speak any language you're familiar with, but you have no trouble understanding them. They say it's because of their sleep-learning systems, that they'll tell you everything at the briefing. You are, it seems, one of the lucky ones. Crux Fleet is a space opera, full of adventure, exploration, battles, and possibly a hint of romance. The main influences are Star Trek, Macross, and Star Wars. If you're looking for genres, it's an adventure/exploration game with hints of slice of life and a focus on dealing with new races, hostile and non. We accept OCs, canon OCs, canon characters, canon AUs, and native OCs/AUs. And, yes, there are flesh-eating, fire-breathing space horses.

GAME IDEAS

Rat Race

[(Anonymous)]

Based on an old 90s movie, where a bunch of rich fat cats come up with a ridiculous scenario for a few strangers to go on a wild race to see who can collect a bunch of cash first.

So take a nexus like game. It's run by some interdimensional folk that are disgustingly rich and have the means and access to grant any wish or favor you could possibly want. But only if you entertain them, because all they want is something interesting to bet on.

So your setting is some sort of hub location. Each month, they give out some new challenge. Only one person can win! But it will be cutthroat and desperate to earn it. And each time you do win, you earn a point. Get ten (five?) points and you can cash in for your prize.

The stakes are high and only people willing to do anything will have a chance to win. In fact, the application section would have a bit asking what one thing the character would desire so much that they'd be willing to screw over any number of people to achieve it. So... if you can't think of anything like that, you can't really play that character. (But as a bonus, game imports would be allowed, so your character might just compete to go home, rather than be sent back to their jamjar setting.)

The game would veer a bit towards wacky and just a little bit of crack, but still be serious enough to get all the sort of things you normally expect from RP. In between competitions, characters can do their SoL bullshit, have their shipping and smut, and all that other good stuff. There'd be no real over arcing plot and the NPCs would just exist to be eccentric, although people could potentially create complex plots if, say, some evil dude managed to get his wish granted and started a bunch of trouble because of it.

Characters would be free to come and go. In general, to stay, they have to sign a waiver that they will not be allowed to return home with their memories unless they manage to win. A dropped character would be assumed to just be someone who gave up on the competition. There may or may not be an option for people to just visit home on their own. Idk, it doesn't really matter either way. But frozen canon points are pretty lame, so it could be nice to avert that.

Anyways, that's the game I would make if I was interested in making a game.

That or a really cool AU game.

I'm looking for a game to play MCU Clint Barton in. Preferably something with a bit of action, since I don't do too well in heavily slice of life games. Pacing wise, I can work with anything that averages below 15 or so posts per day; a faster pace during major events is fine, but I find I get lost if the game communities are routinely much faster than that.

I don't need a huge cast, though if I'd be LCWing it, I'd love some other shady operative types to be morally grey bastards with.

I just want an Aomine to shamelessly ship with my Kagami. It can be on memes or in a psl in a musebox, I'm fine with either, and it doesn't matter if it's AU or canon. I just want to play these arguing idiots together.

CHARACTER ADVICE

general advice: child characters

[(Anonymous)]

doing child!AUs for my characters, so I'm looking for some general advice on playing children between ages 8-10. I know a lot depends on their individual personalities, but I could use some general pointers, or common mistakes to avoid

PB SUGGESTIONS

Re: PB SUGGESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

Looking for a male, blond (preferably strawberry blond but I won't be picky about that), possibly freckled. Looks like he could be in his late teens, but willing to go with someone who's in their mid-teens or early-twenties.

The character's supposed to be cheerful, dorky, a bit of a nerd, slightly athletic.

Re: CANON RECOMMENDATIONS

[(Anonymous)]

I really like otome games and reverse-harem series, even though a lot of them tend to be...pretty bad, particularly writing-wise. This is a long shot but does anyone have any recommendations for games/manga/anime aimed at women with a romance element that have some really solid characters that are complex and interesting and not just...perfect, or a collection of tropes?

For reference I've already seen Ouran High School Host Club (like it a ton, even though it's maybe a bit goofier than what I'm hoping for) and I've played Hakuouji on PSP (liked it more than I expected, despite the weird premise, but not really enough to want to play from it).

best thing that came from anonies tbh

[(Anonymous)]

let's discuss this season's anime! what are you watching, anons? have you dropped anything so far?

[(Anonymous)]

from last season, i'm watching nagi no asukara and tokyo ravens, and this season i'm watching buddy complex, toaru hikuushi e no koiuta, inari konkon koi iroha, nobunaga the fool, nisekoi, sekai seifuku, and wizard barristers. i haven't started them yet, but i'm planning to watch noragami, nobunagun, and wake up girls! as well, and i want to give witch craft works and double circle a try too.

i've never watched this many shows simultaneously before, so it's a little overwhelming, but i don't feel like dropping any of them.

do you delete plurks? for what reason?

sometimes I'll make a ranty plurk and then afterwards i'll go back and delete it because there was really no point besides me getting it out there. very rarely i'll delete plurks that get no response because i find them embarrassing.

[(Anonymous)]

i have friends so my plurks always get replies and i don't say anything i would be embarrassed about later because i'm not a shortsighted idiot

wow social interaction is hard

i know there's a comm or something where people can list journal names that they've hoarded and want to give away, but i can't for the life of me find it

anybody remember the name?

Show of internet hands: do you do your tags as they come in or do you wait until you've finished all of them before posting them in a big batch?

[(Anonymous)]

As they come.

If I have a bunch overnight then I spread them out over the day.

Is it acceptable to simply not want to add a cast mate on plurk? Someone apped into my game that I'm not necessarily on bad terms with but I have no desire to add them on my plurk because I view them as emotionally draining and childish? I'm willing to rp with them but I have no desire to be friends

[(Anonymous)]

i decided not to add a few castmates on plurk since i felt like my plurk list was too big at the time. it's been... alright. one of them tags just fine and some others are more questionable, but i feel like i'm missing out on potential cast plotting by not having them added. if that's not your cup of tea then it's probably fine to not add.

i realized i am a pathetic human being. i also realized i had revealed to the internet at large that i am a time traveler from five months into the future. the mission must be abandoned. i reached for my pistol, slid the bullets into the chamber and cocked it.

June. I'm sorry. I will not be returning home from this mission.

is it really necessary to make big dramatic announcements about making your plurk/tumblr/whatever a ~safe space~ every time you ditch people who post things you don't like

just quietly unfollow and get on with your life jesus

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever looked back at your threads from a couple years ago? How did you feel? Embarrassed? Proud?

I was looking at a past thread recently for a character that I'd forgotten I'd dabbled with and I was really surprised by how good it was.

On the other hand, in one thread I was so poor that my tags would suddenly stop mid-sentence and start with a new paragraph. What was I doing?

[(Anonymous)]

I feel bad about how bad my tagging ethic was back then. I loved the games I played at, loved my CR, and everyone told my writing was ridiculously fun when I was around - and looking back I think that my grasp on some old voices was way stronger than it is now.

Oh, the thread and plot chances that I wasted!
