What is Battle For Sol III?

Is it some sort of role-playing game? How do I start playing? Also, when did the first and second Battles for Sol take place?

I've been visiting the boards only a few times per month, so I don't know really what's going on. All I know is that Heart of Darkness is a really cool plug-in, and I want Nova to come out soon.

Battle for Sol III is a RPG that is currently being played. You can start playing by posting in the discussion topic and attracting Mac's attention. Hopefully you'll be able to play. You will need to read the rules and such. First Battle for Sol took place a long time ago, around May I believe, but I'm not sure since I wasn't in it. BFSII took place a little while later.

Yes, post at the discussion topic, a few months ago. look on page 8ish for #2, which gives a good idea of what we're doing. Also see the Homepage link in my sig.

Hmm, if you're only on a few times a month, it's probably be best if you didn't join. We generally need to see you at least once a day, except in special circumstances. If you can be on that often though, great.

P.S.- Stillwater is cool. Haven't been there in a while. I was born in St. Paul, and lived in Arden Hills near Roseville and Shoreview about 20 miles north of the Twin Cities for 7 years. Minnesota rocks.

'(url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001571.html")Battle for Sol(/url)' took place in the summer, from June 1st, and fell apart around late July. 'Battle for Sol II: The Unfinished War' took place later in the summer. There wasn't really much connection between 'Battle for Sol' and 'Battle for Sol II', as the first webstory was a very much narrative-oriented thread, while its successor was much more rules-based. Also, the political structure of the galaxy in 'Battle for Sol II' didn't really reflect the events of 'Battle for Sol'.

Pikey, I'd suggest you knowing what the heck you're saying before posting it... Mac is right. The players need to be extrememly familiar with that they are doing and participating. In fact, the very reason I dropped out of "Reign of Chaos" at the Override forum was because of my lack of knowledge regarding the webstory.

Truth is, we want as many players as we can get. But we also want players who are very familiar with what they are doing...

The original "Battle for Sol" was by far my favorite. Never realized that one topic I posted out of extreme boredom would lead to a chain of EV webstories...

Heh, seems like the best topics get posted by bordem or someone named rebel council. I don't think anyone knows where I'm getting at here, I'll shut up now...

I think I do, but it was Ultimate Rebel who posted the first Boozerama Bar. Regardless of the various opinions about bars, parts of that were damn funny. 😉

And It's not like he even created the idea. He mainly riped it off the Ares board! 🙂

I thought the Soda War started on about page 8 of bar tow, though. I know you blew up the first one when it didn't have Dr. Pepper, but there wasn't really a war, was there?
