You Are Humanities Interstellar Government!
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:09:59 am »

Quite a simple game, you all play as Earth's collective goverments decideing how we explore space, colonize worlds, mine worlds, make ships, make weapons, deal with aliens, and make war. This will start out just as we begin exploreing beyond our own system with an advanced space vessel. If you want, though it is not even close to nessicery(and I might not even remember it) you can appoint yourself the 'representitive' of a specific nation in the human government.



Earth, for the longest time it has been the home of our species. It is where we evolved, it is where we wrote our first laws, it is where we have made war time and again. Only in recent times have we begun to move off earth, Colonies on the moon and Mars are common, and there are even several colonies out deeper on other moons and some orbiting above the gas giants. But today is a monumental occation. We have finally made a ship capable of traveling between the stars. The world governments have formed a temporary alliance in light of this, as they all want a say in how we deal with whatever comes. The ship has yet to be named and it's destination is unclear.

First thing is first: Australia requests a name for this monumental craft. 'Caelum Viator', from Latin meaning 'Sky Traveler'.

Uh... You misspelled 'interstellar'...


Just thought I'd point that out...

Also, we need a first-contact protocol.

And, I suggest we name the ship The Carl Sagan.

I appoint myself as the representative of Canada.


Canada Requests that the Human government develops a first contact protocol. One cannot be over-prepared for such things.

Canada also requests that effort be put into research on improving methods of detecting extrasolar planets, so we may better choose a destination for the interstellar ship.

I am representative of the United Empire of Egypt(...which consists of only Egypt I suppose since this isn't Hyper Caw).

Canada has a new request: That the ship make engages in a flyby of the Trans-Neptunian Object 90377 Sedna on its way out of the solar system, to survey it for potential resources.

Canada request a giant space-arm be built to space-facepalm in response to Egypt's request.


Oh, wait, we're already great at building space-arms. Yay us! ^_^

Canada offers this counter argument: Space is not the sky. The name should use the latin word for night.
