| Right. We need to get an RP working. It might keep what little activity we have rolling. I was thinking something in the style of VX's Continuum, but a bit more lax in terms of race standards, character standards, physics adherence, (We could blame the odd or impossible stuff on some sort of reality alteration phlebotinum or something.) and the like. Thoughts?

| Sounds good. How do we go about executing it? | |

| @Yhuzan: Similarly to The Continuum, I'd imagine, but more simply to allow for more ease of access by lazy people and those with less free time. While more in-depth race backgrounds would be acceptable, (preferred, even) we could set the minimum requirements to be, say, a fair-sized paragraph or two on psychology, a list of the more basic weapons they use, (or most or all of them, if possible) and a taxonomy breakdown, most likely with briefly described fictional classifications to allow for more sapient-type creatures. The rest could be improvised.
@Zez: Excellent. Any input you wish to offer? | |

| Not really. You seem to have it well coordinated. | |

| This'd be an excellent idea, but we can't be too lazy if it'll go anywhere. As to the title, we need to establish what it'll be like before we can decide that. So for a galaxy spanning thing like the Continuum's style, we'd want a large sounding name that was still succinct. That's the type, but I can't pin down a specific one.
Edit: Got an idea, "The Sempiternum", based on sempiternal which is a synonym for infinite. | |

| Proof item #97 that google can solve all difficulties you have. So, any ideas for main plots and such like yet? | |

| A couple: Some race (or races) discover a strange artifact or twelve left by a long-dead precursor-type race. The artifact(s) are discovered to have highly useful, yet dangerous powers, and a great amount of strife is caused over them. A strange race suddenly contacts every race in the known galaxy. They claim to have power far beyond the dreams and imaginations of the "average" races. They cause chaos for reasons unknown. This race would be good as a "dungeon-master" race to push the RP along when it needs it. Though, we'd have to give control over this race to someone responsible, maybe even dictating their actions based upon popular choice to make it fair. | |

| OK, so what guidelines do we have on races or characters? I know you did say more freedom than the Coninuum, but what do we have to avoid godmodding? | |

| Er. I have no idea. Yhuzan's a more active RPer than myself or Zez. Maybe he'll be able to work something out. | |

| Okay, I'll start one and try to make any changes Yhuzan suggets when he suggest them. | |
