OOC for this thread here.

OK, guys, like Granny Glads and Ra just beamed down to A'millian Prime. Are they ever going to be recieved by the Lord and Lady, or what? Or, is this STGOD dead too? Color me unsurprised.

Well, we've got Unsurprised Blue, Thought So Red and Expected It Grey... which would you prefer?

Oh, real funny, ha ha, lollers. KAN? Adam? Mystra? Anyone?

Well, I'd post something, but I'm currently stuck on the impasse that I can't post something until someone else posts something.

Ra · Post by Ra » Sat Apr 22, 2006 3:41 am

Yeah, which is understandable. Therein lies the problem. The fulcrum of the STGOD story is the meeting on A'millian Prime, which, well, ain't happening.

Well, so far, Narsil has no idea of that. Someone needs to signal the Doctor (who wouldn't signal the Doctor for help?) and he'll inform me of where we need to go (A'millian prime, in this case). That's all I need for someone to post.

Hmm... maybe some White Spear types (IC, the DOC-TOR wouldn't know they are) call him because one of their most powerful supporters in NYC just literally vanished into thin air?

Ah yes, that might work, (of course; the Doctor may have a slight inkling due to having contracted Holmesism in an earlier regeneration...) he'd probably scan, I'd probably scan, and trace a travelling (which method did you use to travel again?) signature to A'millian Prime.

I went by starship. An Asgard hyperdrive like the Revelation uses would probably be no problem for a Type-40 TARDIS to track.

Off-topic, did you get that PM I sent you? Just curious.

Indeed not, it could realistically get there before you set off

I'm pretty sure I replied to it... and a quick check of the outbox assures me that I did.

I've been in the middle of a project IRL the last few days and have been unable to keep up. By monday I will be back, in full force.

Er, KAN, one small note, the Earth we're at never knew the Empire existed; unless you *unwisely* tried to conquer it again, they wouldn't riot. I was hoping to keep the Empire and all its baggage out of public knowledge during the plot.

Actually, more and more people on Earth were losing their memory about the Empire (like post-Crisis Earth that lost their memory about Earth-2 Superman, etc), but I guess you're right. Okay, more people will lost their memory until the entire Earth never knew about the Empire.

Also, the same thing is happening aboard the Death Star as well. I imagine Admiral McKenzie will eventually realize (with the help of Detritus? Hello? Dartzap? Where are you?) that the source of "memory loss" is the planet Earth themselves, so he will act wisely and pull out the Death Star from Earth. Maybe the Death Star will move to Venus or Jupiter. Or how about A'millan Prime?

And now with my MIDI done, I just have a little bit of programming to do then I will have enough free time to actually join the game instead of saying my characters sleep way too much.

To kinda keep the story low-level, I may end up pulling a deus ex machina to prevent Earth from being vulnerable to DBZ, landing troops, and the Death Star. Otherwise, we could obliterate Altantis from orbit, and it'd be over right there.

Also, upcoming will be some shenanagins from Kane, and some nonsense about the "Technology of Peace". Because we all know Kane is a badass mofo.

And Baal will be making some wise investments here and there.

Hell, rather than always focusing on combat and the overarcing plot, shit like this can make the story really interesting. Further conflicts between the characters - The Lord and Lady, Galadriel and Ra, Ellen and Rhona, Kane and everyone that isn't Baal, etc - can also add new depth to things.

Well, you don't have to. I just wrote a plot device so that Darth Kreshna is against destroying Earth outright using the Death Star. It was the dreams. The peculiar, mysterious dreams suffered by Irene and Kreshna since the disastrous Xizor Spacelines flight. The dreams that always had the unspoken dark figure who called himself 'Nyarlathotep'. Iaaa!!! Cthulhu fhtagn!

However -and please attention everyobdy- I really like Adam's post.

Yes, Lord Adam had refused to help the party investigating Earth. Mind you, that's the way an STGOD is supposed to be played.

Before anyone object, consider this: even in Babylon Five, when the fate of the universe was at stake, not all of them co-operated in perfect harmony. Factions like the Minbari, Centauri, and Narns still had their own political interests and agenda despite the greater mutual threat (the Shadows). Even in WW2, the Allied Force still have their own self-interests despite the mutual threat of the Axis (Stalin vs western countries, anyone?).

Also, remember that a good and enjoyable STGOD is not the one that rigidly follows a fixed storyline. Yes, we have backgrounds and premises, but how the STGOD will evolve should depend on the independent actions of each players; not following a rigid plot.

Adam's decision, for instance, could have interesting consequences on the story. For example, will the A'millan try to destroy Earth themselves? (Star Trek: The Die is Cast) How about the Goa'ulds and the Empire? Will they try to defend Earth from the A'millans? Will they be a great spacebattle between the Empire and the Goa'ulds vs the A'millans?

And how about the Trollish? Hello? Dartzap, where are you? Darth Kreshna wanted to ask Lord Detritus to join him investigating Earth, but mind you, Detritus do NOT have to accept. In fact, Detritus may withtdraw and decide to join the A'millan in destroying Earth.

I myself just disabled the superlaser via effectors anyway... so it's a moot point.

Re: KAN's post:

Just as it should be. If the plot takes us elsewhere, so much the better.

I merely disabled several key components of the superlaser. The Death Star still works otherwise.

Also, The Die is Cast is an anomalous episode, and should be disregarded.

G3770 3D!7: Oh, and what of Q? Could he be (unintentionally?!) be trying to stop Nyarlathotep? I think he definitely needs to appear soon, simply because Q is too funny to leave out.

*lifts his foot from Dakarne's crotch*

Well, one thing for sure, Q is currently insane now. I haven't thought of his motivation yet, but one thing for sure, Q tried to pop up at Azathoth's Center of Chaos, and that was the result...

*Gridfires both of KAN's legs*

The same shall happen to your Death Star if you try anything else.

Note: The use of Culture Technology is essentially the anti-superweapon Deus Ex Machina in question. Culture Technology isn't a superweapon due to it being not-too-powerful in its own universe.

My plan with this STGOD will be more of a focus on characterization and internal conflict than anything else. I actually have a plan, and it will be good. The main plot everyone else is working on will be more of a backdrop, almost simply a MacGuffin while the characters dominate the screen.

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman · Sun May 07, 2006 9:31 am

Jon, you're playing as Kane too, remember? Well Irene is going to attack a NOD Temple in Sudan. Ready for a Black Hawk Down-esque mini TGOD?
