I think you mean, Deus Vult, or perhaps For the Emperor!

Nah, we're xenophiles now. We want friends to fuck shit up with.

I mean the Xengari would love to have people to be their friends, you know as long as the stood far away and did everything the Xengari told them to do, you know friends. Totally not in any way servants or slaves or battle thralls nope, definitely friends. Definitely.

Well, it doesn't seem un-friendly. Just that friends need their space sometimes, and other friends should respect that. And sure, ordering people around may seem a bit off-putting, but that's basically what important people do anyway, so surely something could be worked out where the Xengari only tell friends to do things that are smart and benefit both of them!

Smash the state.

As I think that the general trend will be in this Roleplay will be a gradually alliance and empire forming like what happened in the Paradox Forums Roleplay.

Which I have been toying around with the Idea of the Xengari vassalizing an alien race, likely one of the "fledgling empires". I think Dragonsploof might be the only one from the Paradox Forums Roleplay who was one of the vassals of my race back then. We worked out a pretty good galactic superpower cold war that went on and was pretty fun. It was my race and their vassals against an alliance of empires. Though admittedly the alliance wasn't all fun times as they included some less than ideal states among the bunch. There was also a non-aligned faction floating off somewhere.

Caspoi and Zuko were part of the opposing alliance I think. The players on each side even made little chats where they could communicate in secret, it was great.

In any case I was considering doing vassalizing again as we all worked together last time such things happened. But yes friends of the Xengari.

I liked the faction that was composed entirely of science directorates, which was the one I wanted to join. We could've made a science federation, man. For science!

I would not be opposed to vassalization, if a legitimate argument could be made that would make me feel inclined to accept it. Overwhelming force and the threat of annihilation being one of the most likely to succeed, and on the condition that the Emperor be allowed to stay in power as a direct vassal.

However, if we wanted to make warfare more common, we should probably establish some rules for it. I have some ideas for what we could do, and it revolves mostly around player interaction, moderator adjudication, and some luck as well.

Have it on my desk by Monday. And by that I mean next month Razz

by **Zuko Darkborn** Sat Jul 09, 2016 6:29 am

I'm going completely offline for a week or two, after Monday. Probably not going to play in the RP in that time, but I shall try finding a chance. Just ignore the artists for a while.

by Vagrant Hero Sat Jul 09, 2016 8:56 am

You have my word as an officer and a gentleman to wait until you return to enslave the weaklings, and I'm certain that the rest of the forum will echo this sentiment.

I hope things go well for you.

by Caspoi Sat Jul 09, 2016 9:31 am

Agreed, some sportsmanship must be shown in our attempts to take over the world.

by **Zuko Darkborn** Sat Jul 09, 2016 9:39 am

The Nineteen Grandmasters' election of the new Grandest Master is going to take place in the meantime.

by **Joe Joerson** Sat Jul 09, 2016 5:38 pm

Well thank you for the info Zuko, I'll try not to kill all of the artists in the mean time. tongue

As well I am interested in theses ideas for combat and rules, if haven't so already expect to see me posting whatever my ideas were when I started this.

EDIT: Found it. In Skozzy's "HOW DO WAR" topic. They asked five questions then I answered them this was around the start of Aftermath, though I don't know if all of you read it, I'll post it here in spoilers.

Skozzy's Questions:

My Answers:

While I said these if no one wants anything like theses guidelines then that fine. But just sharing what I had thought about before.

by The Clans Sat Jul 09, 2016 10:20 pm

We'll see what the Vagrant produces war rule wise and then make the two systems fight in a round robin tournament. Yes that doesn't make sense. No I don't care.

by **Joe Joerson** Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:09 am

No lets make this round robin tournament work, every post as many rule sets witch can't be objectively judged as possible. Because that will solve all the problems, and not create any.

by The Clans Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:15 am

Damn you, autocorrect.

by Offizier Necro Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:23 am

My proposed rule system:

Step 1) Everyone posts their hypothetical plans for their respective forces
Step 2) Spend hundreds of dollars on flying everyone to one area to assemble in person
Step 3) All players in the relevant battle will fight to the death to determine who decides on how the battle progresses
Step 4) Repeat until only one player remains, who will continue the entire roleplay single-handedly
Step 5) Make Space Great Again

by **Joe Joerson** Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:44 am

All I would add to Offizier Necro's rule system would be:

Step 6) ...
Step 7) Profit

by **Zuko Darkborn** Sun Jul 10, 2016 2:52 am

Step 8 ) Worry about your life choices

by Vagrant Hero Sun Jul 10, 2016 3:13 am

Hahaha, I would love to see Skozzy's Questions become canon. Like, in a holy book of forum rules, we have one section labelled "Skozzy," and each of the five questions, and there is a little discussion and story added to it, "and from the heavens, God answered, thou shalt debate until a victor is found, but knowest that thou defender has thy holy power of veto!" And so it was known, an so it was, and so it shall be.

by The Clans Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:35 am

And yea, if you come across a lone ship within your holy space, thou response shall be to cast your vpice upon them with great fury and warp in progressively more and larger chariots until they leave.

It feels slightly odd as everyone seems to be changing their avatars, while sit with the same one. Just sitting here with my six eyes and face tentacles...

The face tentacles are quite adorable, since you seem to have two pairs on the top of your head that are reminiscent of a mustache or something.

...I suppose I can deal with adorable.

by Caspoi Mon Jul 11, 2016 6:48 am

don't worry, I have not changed my (non-)avatar yet and Zuko still keeps his.

by Offizier Necro Mon Jul 11, 2016 7:54 pm

...I still can't decide on a final avatar.

by **Joe Joerson** Tue Jul 12, 2016 1:37 am

Well good luck in your search. I am likely going to stick with mine for as long as feasible.

by Caspoi Tue Jul 12, 2016 8:33 am

By the way I have been thinking about reviving my old Khendros Empire as a sort of prolouge to the old paradox forums roleplay. Do you have any thought's about that?

by Vagrant Hero Tue Jul 12, 2016 8:44 am

There are multiple ways to go about that. You could make them be a stagnant ascendancy, with lots of former territory that people, like the Yuxun, could find. Could also just add them as a dead race, again with a focus on discovery. Etc.

by Caspoi Tue Jul 12, 2016 9:04 am

I was thinking of more along the lines of Before they got their great empire, while they were still a Young species on the galactic playfield.
