What are all these sites about ?

They visibly deal with SE IV, the speak about known shipsets/races, but they're more like RPG sites, giving backgrounds, details on empires, alliances, war events...

Is there a SE IV rpg available somewhere ? or is it some kind of universe players have developed throught their PBW games ?

There is no FAQ on this sites, so if you could explain to someone very stupid what's all this, it would be nice.

They are all in reference to the SEIV rpg community Legacies. You can find a link to it in my signiture. New members are ALWAYS welcome ^_^

Actually, the DIR site has nothing to do with legacies. It was an empire on the Universe Ladder.

And would it be too much to ask you, High Ruler of the World, what "Universe Ladder" stand for ?

I think "evil ruler of the world" would be more approprite with my current avatar...

The Space Empires Universe Ladder is an old RP community (the first Space Empires one that had any sort of rational foundations, in fact) that is currently undergoing rennovations.

yeah, but what is it? I've never fully understood it myself. How do these things work?Presumably they span multiple games of SE4, but how are those games tied together? How do you maintain a consistent RP when you start with a different (and empty) map every time you play?

bit of advice: don't call yourself stupid.

Is there any site for it anywhere? The link on Malfador's site is dead.

Wasn't Thermodyne involved in the SE4 Universe Ladder? I thought he said something about it but I might be mistaken...

Yep, I still have it, but there has not been much interest of late. And the way the site is coded, itis susceptible to various cheats that were exploited during the Last active cycle. Until an ASP code writer shows interest, I don't see it restarting any time soon.
