Warden

Congratulations Terran Union, first organization to hit 200 members. 

Just keep in mind you have the curse of any new and yet small organization that intends to portray a state, government etc.
 
And that curse is large numbers required to fill all the positions you can think of and then attracting more people beyond that to serve as 'citizens' - otherwise what would you 'govern', I guess.
 
Normal recruitment can be tough, this must be a tad harder I imagine due to higher requirements of members or numbers.
 
If you can't convince people you have a unique concept or are an alternative to others and perhaps do so with unique multimedia (pictures, audio, video) then you may have a harder time compared to others. Not trying to keep you from it, just highlighting what a hard task it can be.
 
I could imagine something, assuming you are dead set to pull this off, however. Check your private messages, top right corner close to the sign out button.

I'm not speaking in any official role here as I'm not even formally part of anything yet (but with good ties), thus Kurok can precisely reply to your questions.
 
To give my input, however:
 
 
 
As for the question whether it could be the "true capital": I would consider this possibility as emergent gameplay is the holy cow. To roughly quote the Necromongers: "You keep what you kill".
 
And in that sense it would be "You keep what you earn". In many online environments players cannot fully or at least widely dictate the setting. Here it's very much likely and intended.
 
They are among the largest organizations or alliances so far and are so far spearheading the largest city project - at least I don't know of any others yet in that area. Others may come up and perhaps challenge them or offer alternatives, but they are in a lucrative and advantageous starting position. In addition comes the manpower.
 
To summarize for me it boils down to: If they can pull it off, they deserve it. If we assume other competition arises over time and they don't disband and change plans, they'll at least be able to create a notable city on Alioth that will attract people and perhaps exert influence on other areas to join up with that.

Amen.
 
By the way. Someone drew on your avatar

Why does it even matter? I hate the idea of a standings system that players don't make themselves (a.k.a Intel and Communication Units).
 
***Just roleplay it***
 
It's an RPG first before it's a FPS or 4x Grand Strat, and emergent gameplay before that - NQ isn't meant to be doing your work for you.

Be smart about it then.
 
And sometimes you just need luck or good timing. Or friends for a foundation. Sometimes you are just out of luck.
 
That is how it is.
 
And hey. You don't get far (after release)? Disband or merge and join another moderate one or look for those willing to merge into yours. No use struggling when you are not satisfied while alternatives are there.
 
But let's outsource this discussion. I'll make a thread about it later when I can. Half a day from now on.

Interested. On another note, consider having a part of it go beyond the safe zone. Perhaps for the more seedier or risky types.
 
Or a "slums section".

Most natural or emergent response or reaction to an action in my book, if player issued.
 
Can't really think of other things as most would be too artificial to me.

I couldn't help but think of this - after of course seeing these kind of threads several times.
 

 
No offense, new community member and OP. You are new, you apparently did not see the other threads but it explains why some here react like they do.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I had to look up a translation to "freeloader" to find the fitting meaning (or other meanings) and it's indeed not nice. On the other hand, a player should know that one other user (or a set of posts) doesn't automatically equal an overall community. In short, being insulted isn't nice but assuming it equals the community as a whole at the same time could be more insulting.
 
At least I read "bad first greeting equals community" in the sentence "That's a real great way to welcome someone to the community" (between the lines).
 
 
Moving on, I do suggest using one the existing threads. Active duplicate threads just confuse users.

Just to chime in briefly.
 
The large orgs always have advantages in terms of visibility and thus recruitment - and of course there are other advantages such as manpower. While on first glance it may seem like a "bottleneck" and problematic for smaller orgs, I think it's fine, really.
 
Not everyone goes for the large ones, or in other words, not everyone can join the same select large orgs. There are differences in the end such as themes covered and whatnot - or people simply like larger or smaller orgs and thus look around more. Despite large ones there will be no monopoly, in essence.
 
You can also do your part by being different or unique in the themes you cover and how you present yourself.
 
To summarize: Not all join the first org they see (no matter how small or large), some compare, some don't, smaller orgs can still compete in other areas if not manpower.

"I agree, Leonis. Every hero needs his villain or the story will be outright boring. Any suggestions in mind?" 
 
 
"Nice one there, Warden. I hope the Netherlands is prepared for us."

If there's a long war between factions or alliances and one side finally takes over a planet, it would seem logical or good to be able to rename it for obvious reasons. For example it was a capital of an Empire once. Another Empire took it. They rename it because the old one had the name of the losing Empire in it.
 
It makes sense if this does not happen too often. Perhaps cap it at every two to six months or something. Or, in my book, more people benefit if you can rename them more than once than the other way around I think. But that's just me.

Once you technically (via management system etc.) own or claim it you name it.
 
You claim it you name it. Catchy.
 
You claim it you name it. Uh oh!

Thank you. Time will tell whether this makes it to release and past, but from the looks of it there'll be demand somewhere.

Greetings,
 
we are still looking for the following:
 
--- --- --- --- ---
 
Analytic assistant
 
We intend to boost both our security and science division with emphasis on threat assessment or scientific analysis respectively. For this, we look for someone who does not mind rather "dry" work including polls and more. Ideally you have some previous experience or a remotely connected professional background.
 
Alternatively, you do not mind acquiring experience or interest in the related areas over time.
 
--- --- --- --- ---
 
Opposed to service and security tasks, the scientific branch can already shine without an actual (playable) game to some extend. We also don't mind service personnel, as they can include Engineers and Designers.
