Hey guys
I got a great idea...but I dont know if anyone would go for it.
Why dont we create a Galaxy , by creating a set number of quadrants with a fixed map. Then have a persistent galaxy, that is at war, which we as players of course can handle it like in King of the Hill. (if someone invades my quadrant then I have to attack, or we can have some way of figuring out how empires gain control of quadrants and expand their sphere of control? Have like about 80 or 100 peeps?
then have each quadrant battle? Well just thinking of a new way...and have maybe an up to date map of the Galaxy?
I dont know, does it sound interesting or am I just blowing smoke?

There are roleplaying forums set up around that sort of idea.

I don't think it would work too well as a simple competitive thing...

Might I suggest the Space Empires Legacies Roleplay Community? We will have several galaxies with full maps and rules up as soon as we finish hammering out the details. The link can be found in my signiture.

I don't know. From my experience with the past role play communities and with Koth, I think it might work better as a purely competative thing.

I don't think it's a bad idea at all Rojero.

Yea mabye we can discuss it as a Forum topic? After all I would like to hear about it from you ancients anyways since i am a newb when it comes the experience of everyone else...hehe after all i am only a corporal! We can also have a separate forum in which we can display alliances..and such, the only problems is how we can handle trades? or better yet elimate it since it will essential be useless if we do 1 on 1 KOTH. only problems is what if 2 people attack the same quadrant? what i can see there is that 2 people who attack the same quadrant and there is a 3rd person owning the quadrant, then the two people attacking cannot be allies (a kind of dispute)..agh sorry to sound long winded.

Or you could go with the original structured RP community, the Universe Ladder, though it is currently undergoing renovation...

This is one of many ideas that were proposed for the new Version of the Universe Ladder. It has some good points, but it eliminates a lot of the randomnes of games, which many people find preferable to consistent maps for the galaxy.
