I knew it. I knew Tiamat would get involved in webstories. Pity (s)he got roped into Empire before I could drag him/her over to EVO. Pity.
Tiamat, webstories are attempts at multiplayer novels. In a battle situation, players are expected to take everything into account and write what they think happens. There's always bias, of course, but that tends to even out as the two contesting players each place their own bias into battle posts. If it gets out of hand, we have moderators (GMs or DMs if you've ever played RPGs) to moderate on posts and say what is allowed and what isn't.
Generally, you'll see a lot of fighting, a tad of diplomacy and a few pockets of character development. If you don't like how much the story concentrates on battle, get the other two into your posts as much as you can. No reason to let everyone else ruin things for you. There's often a struggle between tacticians and novellists in webstories, but it usually works out.
Asriel, why have you gone back to Sattomax?

Well this is cool we seem to have filled the major slots needed to start the story. Here is the current list of players as I see it.
Terran Star Empire -General Rak (leader), Jager Weave Alliance -Sattomax (political leader), BariSaxGuy5 (Military Leader) Brox - Hunn'sta -TheLonePenguin Calan -Kylethekender545 Sauridian Freehold -SilverDragon Evildrome Confederacy -Vice Admiral Ipvicus(leader), firestorm Darven Corporation -RMA
If anyone new would like to join I would prefer that you join the Terran Star Empire, at least until we have two additional fleet commanders for them, even though we have a spot open for the Brox. There are already plenty of Weave players, but only two for the Empire. They could use a couple more despite what Rak says :p.
Finally, I will be starting the actual webstory next tuesday, probably around 12:00 PM (US Central Time. I'll post a topic Monday for final fleet numbers, flagship stats, and character bios.

That's Blackthorne Corporation, Ipvicus. A minor difference.

It's fun confusing people, mainly. (Yes, I know that I posted this under asriel.)
Ipvicus: As I said on AIM, I can double as Brox if nobody else shows up...

More players just hampers my playing style. I prefer to have total control over major assets.

I know the feeling. Oh, by the way, you're going to die in this. Just thought I'd note that.

Oh yeah. Esponer playing the Sauridians = beware?

I intend to prove you wrong, Esponer.
Oh, by the way, I am probably going to reconfigure the Terran fleets over the weekend.

Intentions don't change the world without actions. Show me what you've got.

My scheming mind is already pondering it.
Oh, and Ipvicus: How is the map coming along?
Hmmm... never played empire be4, but I've read that link and it sounds good.
I'd like to request a pirate position- Looks like the leaders are taken, right? O well. Either one'll work... But I'd prefer Shade's. I was under you in the BFS, remember ole buddy... Aliens rock.

What happens when one of your well thought out plans is moderated by Ipvicus for being a load of bull?

Ooh, this is gonna be good.

You're not enough of a threat to warrant one of those strategies.
Ipvicus: can i be a part time mod? If i cant that is ok too. Just tell me why

At least you admit you use them.

I never said that. I merely said that he was not enough of a threat to warrant their use.
