I would like a system similar to Rebellion but having much more focus on the story and the characters involved. And not to be exploited like Rebellion did. Instead I would like there to be a number of differences between Rebellion and Secession that it wouldn't be confused with each other. I...
So since we are getting close to the moratorium, I took another look at moratorium rules for invasions. In light of last year's update to them, which rewrote the moratorium section to prevent invasions from being launched in late November, I noticed that it doesn't give a specific deadline as to...
In looking at the vehicle forum, there is an understandable trend towards all racing and/or racing-oriented vehicles having [Extreme] Speed and [Extreme] Maneuverability, which I think is an unintended side effect of the template being geared towards combat vehicles. This can make it difficult...
Another quality-of-life suggestion. Right now clicking on articles posted in the faction sidebar will link to the discussion thread, and you have to click another link to view the article itself (although this isn't always the case, including with some blogs, so I'm not sure what makes the...
Pretty much title. Some people have taken to trying to directly recruit writers from their character bio, and there are probably people who would like their biography to look clean and pretty without some random person going "come join my faction!" right under it.
Instead of out outright...
Anyone following young Adron Malvern and his recent suggestion thread found here probably knows where I'm going with this.
I find invasions to be the biggest pull to the site for me. The map is unique to chaos, it heavily impacts many writers' stories, and it provides quantifiable success to...
In light of our fabulous campaign flashpoint this October, I thought that it would be fun to suggest a flashpoint that would induce even more headaches for staff:
GALACTIC WAR
At any stage, a Major Faction or two Major Factions concurrently may declare a Galactic War against up to two opposing...
Been muling a bit about the flashpoints (and how I love them, please site staff bring them back soon, they were so awesome!)
So here's an idea;
What if for the duration of a flashpoint, different factions can invade a hex together. For instance, NIO and AoC can team up against TSE for the same...
Okay, so I was thinking about invasions and how they work.
That inevitably led me to think about Hearts of Iron 4 and how territory is utilized in that video game.
And as I was pondering upon these subjects, I thought up an idea for how the invasion mechanic could be changed, perhaps...
Dungeon Masters. A staple of the roleplay genre for as long as roleplay has been a thing. And something we don't have on Chaos, which I kind of understand. However, I feel like dungeon masters could be incredibly useful on the forums and definitely help expand roleplay and make things a bit more...
Something I've observed in my short time here is that when a faction drops from Major (due to activity or otherwise), they essentially just give up months or years worth of progress they've made in the form of dominions and invasions, all at once. Or at least, within the span of about a month...
Another deliberation of a friendly neighborhood writer.
So I was looking over some of the more under utlilized aspects of the Map game and their relation to Minor factions, and that is Rebellions. As of now, they are more or less obsolete and do little to impact the Map. While glossing over the...
So, I've been hearing that Dominions are not the most loved thread type on the board. Some see them as grindy. Some see them as boring. And sometimes newer factions look at them as daunting feats. For larger factions, it's been said that "it feels like all we do are Dominions."
I feel like, as...
So it's been on my mind for quite some time, and suffice to say in the 2-3 years I've been on Chaos I've noticed one particular thing about dominions and it is that they can get oppressively dry and boring after quite some time, and they just eventually get to a point where it more or less is...
We see that in nearly every form of factory or codex submition, there is an ability to lock it off to solely members of a particular faction. To affiliate your creations solely with one group to allow for creative control with some, monitorable leeway.
Why isn't this same control afforded to...
"As long as they keep on making upgrades for this baby, the Z-95 will never become outdated."
―Outlaw tech Klaus "Doc" Vandangante
"The Dreadnought stands along ships like the Zed 95 Headhunter in the eyes of spacecraft enthusiasts, serving so reliably and for so long that it has become a...
Is there a chance that we can get a OOC Rank Title for the official selections? I personally enjoy having a OOC account (maybe others do as well) for site discussions and would like a Official title to mark that account as OOC if possible.
