The rogue planet means that surface temperatures would be artic at best, eliminates day/night cycles, and some other things. We'll be reliant on geothermal. Having a volatile star would be especially interesting. Periodic burst of radiation would make the surface somewhat hazardous, but not unlivable. The aurorae would be spectacular, and some other stuff.
As I said, just because a planet does not have a star it does NOT, by any means, mean that it's instantly Hoth all over the place.
And conventional day/night cycles are for pussies.
Actually, barring some special atmospherical circumstances ((Which are ruled out by our residential gas giant)), it does. Life will be perfectly possible, but it will be under the ice. Unless the core happens to contain a lot of nuclear materials. Like, ridiculous amounts.

If we're near the galactic core, star density will mean eternal day, as in my planet example.

The galactic center might be a cluster of quite a few(actually, quite a lot) rather bright stars, but I doubt it would be very bright, or warm. Especially considering these are mainly older and rather bright stars, which have emissions outside our visible spectrum.

What visible spectrum? We haven't even evolved eyes.

Visible at Humans I assume he meant.

My point is that the spectrum of light visible to humans means precisely nothing when determining whether it is day constantly on another planet.

Alright, I give up on the rogue planet concept.
Still though, don't you dare go for a normal star.

-1 to "standard" star settings (the worst vote title, I know)

There's no such thing as constant day btw. Considering that day is the part of a planet's rotation in which it receives more light (spectrum of choice), and night when it receives less. Permanent day is hence entirely subjective. Might as well call it permanent night, or permanent noon.

Guys.
Worst case scenario - we retreat to RNG and dice rolls.

If we don't decide anything, then I'mma just use OVERRIDING GM VOTE OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Because I am equal to the power level of Dial's Liver.

Whatever works.
How many pages did we waste for planet discussion alone? 7? 8?
EDIT:

Almost 9 pages.
Wow.

Is the GM VOTE OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM a harsh vote, or is the DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM just there for added effect?
