The conspiracy theorists probably already picked up on this, but in the same conference that we're discussing a map reset, we're discussing the next Galactic event.Aaralyn Rekali said:

We're doomed.
I voted on the fence.
Sure in theory it could create no RP opportunities but the very nature of what Chaos has become means simply that those opportunities would only be available to the older players while the newer players are still left off to the wayside. Which is the biggest cause of the stagnate feel to chaos to begin with.
As it is things like Dominions are simply treated as necessary evils rather than an integral part of the story by factions so does redoing them really matter. Factions will race to get the dominions at of the way to be able they have the most territory and the how and more importantly the why of having dominion over that planet or system still won't matter.

I'm sure between the people who are on Staff and such that they have the creative ability to beat an event.Qae Shena said:
Even if it didn't and met "par" or sub-par with some standards of other individuals - would it matter as a whole? Not really, as long as everyone had fun writing.
Writing and enjoying it is the end-game result that makes the difference.

I just think it would work out for both to be tied together and neat. Let's fire a Galaxy Gun and be done with it!Tefka said:

The problem comes in not the fact that we will gain more opportunities for roleplay, but rather the course of if actions will be massively altered. You need a reason, an in character reason for empires like the mandalorians or the fringe disappearing. Then you have if rulers like widek's who was put there by the site. If you do a map reset, you need an ic event like another plague to justify the loss of contact with worlds to such a degree.
I also feel like Rebellion Rules should be revisited.

I agree, but that's not the topic here.Mikhail Shorn said:

[member="Tefka"] it very much is part of the topic. Its just an alternative to this ludicrous idea of map reset.

With a possible map reset would current major factions retain their capital planet?

Not sure. Probably not. I don't know at this point in time.Jared Ovmar said:

This is what I mean.... You need an ic reason to get rid of a factions influence....Tefka said:

I like the idea of a droch-like plague to cause mass destabilizing of governments and factions, maybe an extragalactic invasion to cause it.
End of the day, we're here to have fun; to make new friends, make new allies/enemies in fiction and just enjoy escaping RL for as long as we can.
If we need a reset for everyone to start new ventures, take new chances and try new things that they wouldn't, then why not.
The second fictional planets and systems start to annoy people who feel they have "ownership" and can't see it's all just irrelevant fun, then it loses part of what Chaos is about I feel.
Just my opinion. A reset wouldn't mean the end of anyone's hard work etc, it would just be a nice chance to give everyone, new and old, new chances to make new allies and enemies.

So what you mean varies based on a Faction's capital planet?Glyph said:
Stick to the base question. We'll answer the others as time progresses.
