Part 1: Spying

To clarify, we have decided that the details of your House's actions will be kept within Spoiler Boxes that others won't (read: shouldn't) open. However, you can Spy on other Houses to look into these boxes and get additional information: these questions will determine your guys' opinions on these mechanics.

How many layers deep should Spoiler Box secrets be allowed to go?

Clear selection

How often should people be able to Spy (open a spoiler box)?

Once a Day (3 times / Cycle)

Once a Cycle (2 times / Week)

Once per Week (1 time / 2 Cycles)

Other:

Clear selection

Should there be a "stat" or some other mechanic that allows some houses more Spying opportunities than others?

Yes

Clear selection

Secret Alliances

Everyone will start with at least 1 secret alliance. These questions will determine the rules for creating more.

I guess we should get this out of the way... should people even be allowed to make more secret alliances in the first place?

Yes

Clear selection

Should there even *be* a rule for how and when you get to make more secret alliances?

Yes

Clear selection

How often should someone be able to form a new secret alliance? (PM another RPer)

Once a Day (3 times / Cycle)

Once a Cycle (2 times / Week)

Once per Week (1 time / 2 Cycles)

Clear selection

Are players allowed to directly quote from their Secret Alliance PMs, either into other PMs or into the Thread?

Yes

Clear selection

Are players allowed to *pretend* they directly quoted from their Secret Alliance PMs? (editing quote boxes, two-way backstabbing; other general tomfoolery)

Yes

Clear selection

Development

We really haven't discussed this much, have we? Basically, this would be the process by which your House directly improves an aspect of their... well, everything. Instead of gaining more resources by conquering other worlds or stealing them from battleships, they could develop new and improved ways of refining materials or manufacturing machinery.

Do we want mechanics relating to direct Development?

Yes

Clear selection

How long would it take to Develop something? (Reminder that you would be expected to continuously update the Thread with additional rumors, and that your Spoiler Boxed secrets would have to match up with your end result somewhat)

1 Cycle

1 Week

3 Cycles

2 Weeks

Other:

Clear selection

How should we keep track of Development?

Allow Houses to alter their Priority Ranking (i.e. moving something from 5 to 4)

*Gestures Vaguely* RP

Spaceships, Transportation, and Megaships

We like the idea of absolutely massive behemoth superships; the kinds that represent massive investments from over the course of several decades. Time to figure out what that means!

Regular Spaceships: How big can they get?

House-Sized

Star Destroyer

Clear selection

Megaships: How big are they?

Star Destroyer

That mothership from Independence Day

Clear selection

FTL: How fast can we go? (in Light-Years Per IRL day)

Would take about 10 Cycles (a little less than 1 in-RP year) to cross the Cluster

Would take about 1 Cycle to cross the Local Cluster

Clear selection

Other Stuff

Did I miss anything?

Art thou excited?

Yes

I hate fun
