I would like to help out too. Just tell me what to do.
------------------ Check out my site! I'll be having a poll for new site look soon, so if you want your opinion included, check every week. (url="http://"http://www.aresaxis.us")Enigma(/url) <-- The best online game ever. (url="http://"http://www.evula.org/evweb/")EVWeb(/url) <-- My site redone.
I would like just general input on things that may help the story, or things that may possibly ruin it. For that matter, any suggestions/pointers/ideas are appreciated. If you come up with a plot idea - email me (seeing as how we dont want the plot to be common knowledge). Rules are not all set, so just keep sending ideas and such my way. Emailing is fine seeing as how i only get one email every month or so on average. But please, dont send me an email asking to be a certain faction...

I'm not quite sure how webstories work, if anyone could give me some info I could try making up some ideas.

A web story is like a story where each person posts part of the story, then somebody else posts more, and so on and so out.
The most obvios plot would be:rebels whoop up on confeds:We have to avoid that.

Yea, I understand that much, but how do battles, and income, and technology work? Are there set rules? Or do people just make up everything?

Thats harder to explain, battles work the same way I suppose. As for Income and tech, those are set up at the begining, actually, I'm not entierly sure what these guys are doing. Thats why I've decided to just stay out of this and moniter the conversation untill I understand it better.
Well, no one has emailed me or posted much for suggestions, so i guess i'll actually have to think about this on my own(so much for my lazy way out). Uhm, this thread will probobly die out soon, and I'll probobly revive it with notice that i've got things in order. Maybe at that time i can start signing people up.
What's wrong with the plot being public knowledge? The participants in it advance it themselvs. How about the same as BFSII: Pirates vs Aliens vs Rebels vs Confeds?

Well, i think it'd be interesting to see how the players react to a sudden variable. Such as Wave of Destruction, when the Acarra arrived, and later attacked.
I emailed a plot.
I couldn't think of a good one.

Additional rule: (Also stolen from previous webstories, I'm not sure which, but I think it was one of Esponer's again) Battle: For every two good occurrences you post about a battle you must also post one equal and opposite effect.

Amen to that

And another rule. If someone says
On the first test of the insert weapon we targeted an indapendant vessel. And we blew It up.
You cant go around and say:
We sent a lone vessel with the IFF of an indi to open relations to player. But before the ship got to them, it was distroyed because of player's new weapon.
if it wasnt stated before.

Paranoid, thank you. That will certainly make it into the list of rules.

I would think that that would fall under "Use common sense". Naturally you can't do anything unless you post it. And aside from that, i doubt a Government would kill and independent vessel seeing as how it'd ruin their reputation.
Sorry kids, mother wont let me start a webstory for some unknown reason, someone else will have to do it.
