    RP: YSS Kaiyō Mission 32: Uchū Kaubōi

    Daybreak Ridge "They are good soldiers," Aiko replied, arms crossed under her bust as she looked out to survey the old volcanic crater and morning landscape that stretched out before them. "If you believe the operation can commence then you must trust in their success, so your concern is...

    Art Ame's Traditional Art 🎨📓🖊️

    Really like the short-legged jumpsuit look. Maybe TF282 issues them for warm weather garrison duty 🤔

    RP: YSS Kaiyō Mission 31: Wakusei

    "Fleet support has identified a group of battlepods coming down from orbit," Aiko said, relaying Boss' information to the rest of the squad. "The Battle of Elysia requests we eliminate them. Shift attention to them when your sector is clear of any enemy mechs. Those new targets are capable of...

    Fallfest Panel Planning Thread

    Wish a schedule had been posted before soliciting slots because the event is overall a little early for West Coasters, but I can fill the 3 p.m. one. Not sure what I’ll do because I don’t want to repeat my last SW/FF panel topic; will think of something.

    Approved Submission Nebel (planet)

    Sorry to double post, but I've added struct data for Ame. Plus approval data and some missing backlinks, as well as making sure every instance of "NMX" said "NMX Neko" just in case a reader doesn't read the whole article. Also backlinked it to UX-29.

    Approved Submission Nebel (planet)

    They're NMX Neko who were freed from the yoke of Mishhuvurthyar domination by the First Fleet's most effective ship, as the article says. Woulda been kind of weird if that happened, lol.

    Is Star Army a LitRPG?

    Yeah, LitRPG is the strangest misnomer. When I first heard about it as a sub-genre of SF/F, apparently labelled such around 2013, it just struck me as a weird descriptor that Westerners put on throwaway paperbacks/ebooks that take place in an RPG world, which Japanese fiction has been doing for...

    What Happens if Mishhu Attack Another Unallied Nation in Kikyo Sector?

    Yeah, for a full scale planetary takeover, the Star Army would definitely show up completely unannounced within about 30 seconds of getting the news with an overwhelming fleet presence. They have done this before, recently if we take the same situation and look outside the Kikyo Sector where the...

    RP: YSS Kaiyō Mission 31: Wakusei

    Surrounded by the close confines of what must have been some type of plaza among mid-rise buildings prior to the Mishhuvurthyar repurposing these ruins as cover for the present conflict, Aiko retreated her mecha from every blow thrown at her by the Killthyar swordsman, meeting each of the...

    NMX Version of PANTHEON

    Makes sense that the Mishhu have a high tech communications network of some kind. Communications arrays and interstellar networks have already been described in RP many times. I don’t know about them having acronyms that spell out words in English/Trade, though. Existing Mishhu acronyms: SMN...

    Tasks: Help Request Assign Risk Levels to Places in Struct

    I'll do it when I see places lacking as well, but for locations outside of the core worlds it can be a little challenging. Should all YSE flagged worlds default to "safe"?

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    Haven't insulted nor bullied anyone, and won't stand for your false narratives. Please stop trying to create drama with me simply because you don't like what I have to say. You're making Yamatai an unfriendly faction to roleplay for the people who've been here the longest and contributed the...

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    What happened with Ushobrakflug should be strictly avoided in the future. That was a straight retcon adding decades of history to somewhere that no RP happened, which is exactly what shouldn’t be happening through this project. Do things right by the setting and how it’s been legitimately built...

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    Any system that: does not have previous mention of settlement or population on the wiki does not have any roleplay that suggests it has ever had permanent settlements or a significant population should not be given any population without new colonization roleplay. Additionally, any system...

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    I've already discussed my position with Wes and am permitted to share my thoughts on the subject, demibear. He only asked that discussion be limited to ideas rather than whether people are qualified to make changes.

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    No. That's how a living universe is supposed to work: You've got to at least plant the seeds of something occurring in order for it to be added, on SARP that's through roleplay. Saying "well ackshually they colonized it in YE 41" is simply a retcon. As an example, that's why there's a policy...

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    Yeah. And if no one roleplayed anything happening to those empty systems then they're not colonized. That's how a living universe works.

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    With only one or two exceptions, that means the system is uninhabited. Saying these places suddenly have always had a population would be a retcon, and that's not necessary.

    Yamatai Census of YE 46

    One of the YSE's biggest in-character challenges has always been the question of how to efficiently spread its people out from Planet Yamatai itself. I do not think any system should get a sudden population increase or backfill because that devalues the previous stories and factional...

    Suggestion Artist role for Discord (at least)

    I think discord users without a role should be able to fully see worldbuilding and faction channels (read only) without the need for any special role. It’s kind of weird they cannot. There’s nothing private in those channels so I don’t quite understand why they’re hidden in the first place. This...
