Hello,

I'm running a Gurps campaign right now with 2 of my friends. The premise is that in the future, corporations robbed power from the governments, a big war (read: slaughter) occurred and the corporations fled to a new planet with new found warp technology. There's more to it but that's not really my reason for posting.

One of the characters is a computer programmer/hacker, the other is a doctor, and they just stole a spaceship and made their way to a planet that may support life. They (intentionally) kidnapped the owner of said spaceship and (unintentionally) kidnapped a little girl. Needless to say the public wants their heads.

Rather than making something artificial I thought it would be interesting to find a non-involved 3rd party (A B12 forumite) to play the military commander, giving them a realistic amount of resources and power, making them answer to the power of bureaucracy, etc. The game meets every Saturday, though if you're interested, it won't be real time, I'd be communicating with you directly, and in secrecy, throughout the week for you to give "orders" to the military to attempt to hunt them down. It's a player vs player kind of situation, and the other players just won't know that until the end of the campaign.

tl;dr: I want you to secretly play a military commander in my real-life sci-fi campaign. If you're interested or have comments/questions please post here or PM.

I suppose that I'll offer, although I'm not really online at regular times anymore.

I'd be up for it, too. I can be on at almost any time, although I'd prefer it not be after 2am GMT+1

You guys 

it won't be real time

Anyway, yes I would be interested in doing this. Although, important question, do the players know anything about these forums?

[Gimhalos]

I think one of them played Dwarf Fortress once, I doubt he's ever visited the forums though.

If multiple people are interested I can come up with more roles and make this more of a light forum game that revolves around the actual play.

It sounds like a lot of fun. I would be interested, but as you already have several people interested.. Unless you do turn it into a forum game, which would be kinda fun as well. But I don't want to guilt you into doing so.
