Just for clarity, I don’t represent the Phods. I have a Phod-related plot I’m recruiting for, but only if folks are interested.
Kaiyo PC’s - Sounds Awesome!
I think the idea of Kaiyo PC’s helping to manage the IRC. It sounds exciting, and it’s a neat way to get even more player character’s involved in the events.
Need NPCs Played?
If any of yall need an NPC run for your story ideas (Red-Green NPC talks? Koenix system representatives applying for YSE membership?) Let me know! I’d be thrilled to help your plot move forward at this conference.
Phod Plot Interest?
So I’ve been working on a plot where two factions of Phods from Ohara are looking to emigrate from their world and found colonies. I’ll only run this plot if others are Genuinely Interested! I feel there’s little point in putting steam and energy into a story if it doesn’t create writing opportunities for others. Here’s the gist:
On Ohara, there are two distinct political philosophies; the Representative-Democracy Capitalists, and the Authoritarian Socialists, with some religious folks sprinkled in. The Capitalists and the Faithful want a colony, and the Authoritarian Socialists want a colony. Much of the leadership of Ohara doesn’t really want them to go, as that means a huge loss in population, workforce, farmers, etc.
There’s good potential drama, as there are flaws in the economic and political systems of the Capitalists and the Socialists, and in how they want to run their potential colonies.
If you really, truly would find a discussion or workgroup about that interesting (even if there’s only one of you) I’ll move forward with the plot. The plot would involve a brief speech from the parties describing their dreams, Ohara trying to say “Hey we support these groups but we’d really rather they stay”, and a potential for your group or faction to try to get these Phods to colonize a region of ‘your’ space. Some of their colony laws might be controversial, so it could be fun to talk that out.
Let me know here, or through some other means, if you are definitely interested or if you have further questions. I’m perfectly fine letting the plot fade, so don’t feel obligated to say you want to work on it.
Hidden Sun Clan Interactions
I’m interested in bringing a Poku Saeruo Degonjo (Hidden Sun Clan) character or two to the IRC to interact with folks. If you would like your character or NPC to meet and learn about the Clan, please hit me up. This character won’t be an Emissary or Ambassador, as those are NPC’s appointed and approved by the FM.
Kactist Sector Pretty Cool!
I'm also seconding Soban's invitation to the Kactist Sector, where the 7th Fleet is hanging out. It's a neat place, lots of RP potential there!
