Rules Update Age of Chaos - Annihilation

[Tefka]

and the entire thread has to reach 400 posts within two weeks to even be viable for judging.

Just a clarification to prevent confusion: This is not true, there is no two week timeline on Annihilations.

There's not even a two week timeline on Invasions, it's just a suggestion provided by the ruleset. The timeline is usually organic and determined by the leaders of Factions involved.

Oof nevermind then.

I stand corrected: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE

Based.

Let the Annihilation threads be as they are.

Yes, it is nice that you have invested so much time and effort into that planet for your story. However, putting all of that stuff on one planet, makes hitting it, all the sweeter. It makes it a target rich environment for someone to reasonably want to do so.

Why did the Empire target Alderan? Because it had a lot of the big hitters or people who supported the republic, as well as being the home of many people who were in the Rebels. Hitting morale to be low, and to put the fear of god into them.

What do you think is happening to you now? You have the fear of god/tefka in your veins and you cant shake it.

I see this as a good step forward for more ideas in which we can have real consequences.

I came from a Fantasy Site years ago where no one had to ask permission to do anything to your character. They could kill them on the spot if they wanted too. It was your determination to fight back against it that would allow you to survive. If you don't have that here, in a place where it is super easy to say "Lol, nah, my character can't die cus I say so." then I need to have consequences in a fight, in a thread, where I feel challenged.

Call this a Hot Take, but I think that Tefka and the staff team ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH for this idea.

I want to see planets completely gone and marked on the map as being asteroids, or completely vaporized. I want to see factions take the remains of war and build from it like they did in Canon and Legends. If you want to have a great story, then the best idea is to roll with the punches, and make the best of it however you can. If you can't, then you are going to have a rough time here.

Everyone hinting Mandalore might be the target of an Annihilation

 

[Allyson Locke]

But Mandalore is a capital planet - those cannot be targeted e.e

 

[AMCO]

Patience is a virtue, Allyson Locke - maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but chances are someone will blow up Mandalore. It's already been nuked, strip-mined, nuked again, and flooded with hangry Graug, so it's not much of a loss.

Don't worry, I'm sure the bucketheads will still show up on one of the floating space rocks to nod meaningfully and say "This is the way".

 

[Allyson Locke]

As long as people leave Corellia alone, I'm cool xD Poor planet's been through enough.

 

[Tarish Galland]

sets a reminder to check out Corellia sometime

 

[Robogeber]

AMCO I propose a cessation of hostilities between TSE and NIO in order to destroy Mandalore and Corellia. In that order.

 

[AMCO]

Robogeber

You had me at Mandalore and lost be at Corellia. Compromise and blow up Alderaan again instead? Those fethers need to learn to stay down.

 

[PERSENUS]

OOoooooo

Deep inhale

That sweet smell of chaos....

 

[Dair Cotarin <inactive>]

I'm trying to imagine what a future Chaos map will look like with no Canon planets left, and only custom planets on the map...

 

[Ki'an Vizsla]

What did you just say about Mandalore? Tegan Starfall

[Ben Craig]

Ah yes, my true purpose has finally come. Witness destruction my friends​

[The Red of Sinner]

Oof, the reason the hype of this will die is because someone WILL abuse this.

 

[Takui]

Even if a faction decided every four months to do this, statistically speaking, the chances of actually wiping a planet off the map are low.

Variables include:

1) Prohibitive threshold (400 posts)
2) Interest (People stop feeling threads quickly)
3) Opposition (no one's gonna take it lying down)
4) Inefficient (tactically, it's less map game changing than an invasion.)

No one's gonna pick a random planet owned by someone they don't like and waste the energy to blow it up.

 

[Adron Malvern]

I do like that this is promoting longer, story-based threads. Personally i think longer, slower, invasions would help destroy some of the salt and stigma behind them.
