'Distant Worlds' Interactive LP: "Terran Republic" - Update #3
« on: December 25, 2013, 10:09:20 pm »



Hello Ladies and Gentlmen,
Today we announce the unveiling of the Galactic News Network from which you will hear all the latest, greatest, and most important news in and around the Terran Republic!

Included in our broadcasts are major senatorial decisions, our glorious military actions, and the wonders of Terran science!

Without further ado, please, sit back and enjoy.
-Sincerely, GNN



What is this:
This is an interactive LP, strictly enforced by the Terran Senate, and I am your host: Scoopius Beard, although my friends call me Scoopbeard. Anyone may watch/follow this story-based, update-oriented LP, and a number of people may also participate in the LP by becoming part of the Senate.

Joining the LP:
As new planets are colonized by our glorious republic posters may sign-up as senators representing those planets. Senators will be elected on a first come, first serve basis and will serve until the LP is over, their planet is no longer part of the republic, or they are largely inactive/request termination.

To apply fill-out and post this form:

Poster Name: (ex: "Scoopbeard" (RP Name: "Scoopius Beard"))
Planet: (ex: "Terra")
Additional Request: (If you feel the planet you're applying for should have a status change, or another important request put it here)
*keep it in red so I don't miss it!


Planet Rankings:
Tier I: Terra & Regional Capitals
       - no pop requirements
       - 4 votes
Tier II: Full Senatorial Members
       - 2000m population min.
       - 3 votes
Tier III: Junior Senatorial Members
       - 1000m population min.
       - 2 votes
Tier IV: Special Districts
       - no pop requirement
       - 1 vote
       - Terra (me, Beard) decides which colonies are special districts at colonization and may change their status later
Tier V: Dependencies
       - population > 0
       - 0 votes
       -most newly colonized worlds are this.

Voting:
Each senate member will vote via PM, they will vote on the decisions given by me each update. To vote fill-out and PM me this form:

Update #: (ex: "#1")
# of Votes: (ex: "4")
Decision: (ex: "Yes, let's start this LP.")
Name: (ex: "Scoopbeard" (RP Name: "Scoopius Beard"))
Planet: (ex: "Terra")
Reason for Decision: (OPTIONAL) (ex: "I'm the host!")


the decision with the simple majority wins, or failing that, the decision with the largest number of votes. If all the decisions are tied, I will choose or put it to the house (the watchers).

I will also post the results of each vote per update and all the forms PMed to me.

Updates:
A transcript of interesting events, treaties, battles, and senate votes will be presented in narrative/informational form each update. Anyone watching the LP or in the senate may feel free to contribute with their own RP stories or tales as long as they fit within the setting (which appears to be slightly dark). Also, as some colonies may inevitably be lost to us, if you wish continue your senator's story you may do so in aforementioned side RP.

Participation Outside The Senate/RP:
Unless you're pretty heavily into a side RP, any and all watchers are considered part of the 'House of Representatives'. Occasionally, decisions and courses of action will be put to the house instead of the senate, and suggestions will be taken from there.

To suggest a course of action (When asked for!!! Otherwise, please write your suggestion normally and in black lettering) fill-out and post this form:

*Update #: (ex: "1")
Suggestion: (ex: "Forward Ho!")



Senatorial Roster:
-Terra, Status: Capital, Votes: 4, Senator: Scoopius Beard (Scoopbeard)
-Esmosuir, Status: Special District, Votes: 1, Senator: Isdar Dendu (Isdar)
-Kiadia, Status: Special District, Votes: 1, Senator: Sir Lawrence Binghley-Sprickfellow (Lorgath)
-Prukupea, Status: Special District, Votes: 1, Senator: Roberts (Iituem)

-etc.

I'm lazy. What's distant worlds? Also those rules sound like a lot of muck to clog up the rate of updates. I say simplify it more.

There are a lot of options for victory conditions, but you can also play it sandbox style.

EDIT: there are also some story-mode kind of victory options.

I also wish to take part, and oppose your foolish plans for slavetaking!  As Chairman of the Genocide Party I support the euthanasia of all non-Terran sophonts, and encourage you to do the same!
