Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's true. Regional subforums it is then. I was also thinking that it would be a good idea to at least number all the unnamed non-canon planets so we have some reference and label. I would like a list of all the planets and their current owners with a map. I think that will be helpful and much easier to change than a static map image.

Also, I put up a thread for the Combat System. Check it out. I'd welcome any feedback, positive or negative, and I'll answer any questions. Once people have a better understanding of the system I think we can post two or three new style Mechanics or Character Intro's and stage a battle.

Which reminds me. I am hoping, with the new Combat System, to coalesce the Mechanics and Character Declarations into the same post format, though not necessarily the same thread. I wanted this combat system to include player vs. player and fleet vs. fleet combat so that theoretically we could have player vs. fleet and it would end logically (with the player dead or incapacitated).

Just checking in to show I'm still around. I look forward to seeing where this guild is going.

So this is my idea for a new protocol regarding posting stats. On paper, it probably seems unduly harsh and it's meant to, to a degree; my hope is that there will be much more communication and negotiation if there is a problem.

Item stats are posted by the player, but may be refuted by any one person (the offended) BEFORE they are encountered in combat. The offended may then post new stats as he sees fit. The new stats may be contested by any player other than the original poster. This may continue until every member of the Guild has contested the stats, or the item is engaged in combat.

Basically, you're allowed to say whatever you want, but if anyone has a problem with it, he can change it and you can't do anything about it so you should take care in what you say. It may also make sense to make a rule regarding the length of time that must pass before an item can be used in combat to give everyone a chance to look at new the stuff. What do people think of that?

Three days sounds good to me.

I think the old system, with a few revisions will work.

I think we would really like to keep this new Guild as much canon Star Wars as possible, which to my mind excludes nearly any form of reanimated corpse (the only exception being through a Force technique because I believe that there is or once was such a technique). However, Star Wars has cyborgs. But of course these cyborgs tend to really only be more creative than droids, not necessarily performing better in any other areas.
