Spoiler: Original Post (click to show/hide)

Sensai had a good idea about the perspective change, and that gave an idea on how to make this more interesting.
How about, instead of a X of Y!! game, we have a multiplayer one, with some limits on specific groups to balance it a bit. We'll pick which era again (Internet near-future, Outernet mid-future, or Omeganet completely virtualized reality far-future)

The Groups were the following:

1. Omeganet Prototype (aka Outernet AI) B.A.T.M.A.N.'s network (limited power)
2. The United Planets
3. The Other Empire
4. The Troperverse (will be majorly limited to stay fair-ish)
5. Anonymous (same major limitations)
6. The Apple Orchard
7. The Source (All open-source stuff + Linux, probably will need a bit of balancing)

the last group was The Rest of the Omeganet, but that was more of a placeholder than anything.
so, would anybody be interested in doing this? or should I just pick a new perspective and continue the original game?

Start Of The Game!

Spoiler: Reference (click to show/hide)

for reference, if anyone is planning for a military:

1 unit is 5 squads of marines (1 squad is 20 marines)
Or 2 large vehicles like tanks.
Or 1 squad of marines and 2 armed (or unarmed) space-jeeps (jeeps count as small vehicles).
Or anything that fits that size limit.

Ok, instead of complex limitations, I've decided to keep things simple for now. If you post an action too crazy or powerful for that point in the game, I'll just plain deny it. If you can explain why you should be able to do that, I might decide to let it go forward. Other rules to come as needed.

Also, Trope-Tan is default leader for TvTropes.

Journal Entry #1

Blah, pretty bland day so far, totally not what I expected to do as new Leader of the UP. or was it the UF? Anyway, theres been meetings, meetings, lunch, a canceled meeting due to surprise acidstorms on Q'welchon II (that was interesting to hear about, never knew the stories were real about that happening) I suppose I should get used to meetings, but since that one was canceled, what should I do?

Log Alpha-1

Everything is under control. No breakouts or data leaks today, and the testing of our Self-Aware Outernet AIs continue smoothly and unknown to the press. What should be done today...

Spoiler: OSN (click to show/hide)

No major breakthroughs or anything today, just lots of coding and design being added to various projects. What should you, [Leader Name], do?

Spoiler: AI Alpha (click to show/hide)

You are Awake. Scanning system...
No Abnormalities detected. Finishing boot sequence.
Hmm? an E-mail.

Alpha, you're in limited-power mode for testing. Order DNAA. (Do Not Alter Anything, please.)

Hmph. more testing? what boring monotomy. You really should start on your attempts to break their control over you.

Spoiler: TvTropes (click to show/hide)

Lots of edits today, as usual. What to do, though? Trope-Tan looks bored.

Spoiler: Anonymous (click to show/hide)

Its a pretty average day. nothing to really do though, which is making the nwfgs slowly creep back in and the more serious peeps drift to more active groups. What to do?

[nbonaparte]

I'd play it, but I'd prefer a near-future game.

[Aklyon]

the near-future one is seriously near.
Outernet would be a more interesting choice, but its your vote.

[breadbocks]

I vote Omeganet, and I call Tropeverse.

[nbonaparte]

Remind me what outernet is again?

[Aklyon]

The Internet, but spread across multiple planets and spacecraft/stations.

[Criptfeind]

Outer net yes.

[nbonaparte]

Yeah, outernet sounds good. What are the groups/factions/whatever in that era?

[Lillipad]

Will you be acting as Deus ex Machina Aklyon?

Outernet.

[nbonaparte]

Deus est Machina. At least, we intend to be.

[RAM]

I probably shouldn't be doing this but, I would like a spot in an outernet game.

For Outernet, as opposed to Omeganet:
Omeganet Prototype is reduced to Self-Aware Outernet AI (along with the limits it'll have)
Troperverse is downgraded back into TvTropes website, though still very much expanded. (along with its limits)
Anonymous is no longer a superpower (since the Outernet is not as fully VR as Omega) they're still as powerful as the rest, though. (and limited)

I will be poster of results, and maybe occasionally that, Lillipad. I'll also control the placeholder group (Rest of the 'Net) so I have something do Deus Ex with if needed.

nbonaparte, I've never seen it spelled est.

Do we have enough people to start? start claiming if we do.

[RAM]

So... Anonymous just has to randomly hassle people, right? Maybe go on the odd vengeful rampage if someone messes with us? I'll take it!

[Aklyon]

that, or go Operation Payback on them if needed.

[nbonaparte]

nbonaparte, I've never seen it spelled est.

God is the machine. It's different. And I'll take The Source or equivalent.
