Alone on Titan
« on: December 20, 2010, 12:36:03 pm »

Premise: The colony on Titan has long been a point of conflict for the nations of earth. One day, planes appeared overhead, and covered the planet with a neurotoxin, fatal to terran lifeforms. The fauna have been modified to survive the low temperatures, and as a side effect are unaffected by the poison. Most human settlers have been wiped out, but a small number are immune. With titan's society collapsed, there are no rules.

Rules:

1 Character per player
All gameplay will be conducted via pm's
only players in the same area or with radio contact may pm eachother.
If a pm is not also sent to me, it will have no effect
no using knowledge not part of your character's background or something your character has learned
No posting pm's or other non-shared info in the thread.

Character creation:
Name:
Gender:
Profession(Only one, will start capable at associated skills and determines starting equipment)
hobbies(Only two, will start somewhat capable  at associated skills)
Starting Location(Must be on the initial  map)

Enviroment: The atmosphere is breathable, but its about as cold as antarctic winters. Sunlight is limited as the thick hazy atmosphere has not been completely terraformed. Tectonics are minimal, and only very deep underground do temperatures rise at all. Gravity is .2 g for purposes of the game.

Really cheesy map (Be warned I know nothing about the actual geography of titan)


New Bern- Industrial center, second largest city on titan
Mines- built to provide easy access to silicon for the ever expanding field of robotics
Huygen's Forest- initial site of Terran flora on titan, largest forested area on the surface of the moon
Methane Sea- All the methane has been replaced with water, but the name seems to have stuck

I'll be accepting 6 people to start, more slots may be available later.

Edit: the map doesn't seem to want to display... here's a direct link: http://img152.imageshack.us/i/titanmap.png/

players: Ochita, Bloodsheder, Lord Nincompoop

just pm me what you want to do for the turn(this would be something major) and once everyone's done so, or a day irl passes, there's another turn, and you'll all be informed of what your actions did. Any short actions will be responded to immediately.

Well you didn't give a warning or notification before and I really didn't have any idea on what to do. You gave me nothing to work with.

do whatever you want to do. This isn't a linear game by any means. and I'm fairly sure I did notify you... if not, my mistake. sorry. Anyway, lets restart...
