Homeworld Boardwar - Plot Poll - Read this!!!

[Raver]

This is what the other two retarded 'delete this' posts were for, hopefully this one will work...

Ill keep this poll open for about 20 days, that should be enough time's, and hopefully by then you guy's would have had plenty of chances to decide. But beware, make up your mind before you vote, because once you vote, that's it, you cant vote again. I found that out the hard and slightly stupid way.

Okay, I promised a Homeworld Boardwar a little while ago, but I wanna see who wants what first, Iv got a bunch of thing's here, you can vote more than once but please don't be stupid and vote for the one you want most over and over again, be fair. Ill explain the options.

The Great Race - A great race through the landmark's of the galaxy, you can choose your own ship's, and best of all you can use any method to win. Add more is selected. Really like this one.

Karos exploration - A exploration team exploring the Karos Graveyard, encountering Mover's, Keeper's and other Progenitor artifacts. I will add a general objective if this one of selected.

Karos Junkyard - You are a bunch of people to live/work at the Karos Junkyard, you explore, capture and tear apart ship's, I'll make it more interesting if this one if selected.

Galactic Council - This is a diplomatic boardwar, you play diplomat's from all the different races in the galaxy and try...get your end's met, so to speak.

All out war - The galaxy has broken out in all out war again, massive empires have broken down into small system-states, you will play a fleet or separate fleet's engaging separate fleet's or each other. Can/could be very fun.

Taiidan vs. Kushan (pre-exile) - Makes enough sense, it's when the Taiidan and the Kushan empire were fighting over the 'border-worlds' and the eventual and cataclysmic discovery of the 'second core'.

Hiigaran vs. Vaygr (post end-times) - Speaks for its-self. Make it more interesting/give it more story if this gets selected.

Little ship, big galaxy - You and your fellow board warrior's play the crew of a small transport ship, or something along those lines, visiting the 'tourist destinations' of the homeworld galaxy, so to speak. Add more dialog if this is selected.

Big Ship - Kinda the same as the above option, but you and your team command a big ship, such as a carrier or battlecruiser or maybe even a Kunde Tanker.

Turanic Pirates - You play as Turanic Raider's, boarding and taking over ship's and the like. Ill add dialog if this gets selected.

Karak Wars - The war's which took place on the exile world, massive war's on a desert planet, could be very good, ill add dialog if this is selected.

The Beast Returns - Speak's for its-self. Add more if selected.

The Bentusi Return - Like the above, except this time they might be ANGRY, but I dunno, have to decide.

The Great Nebula - Either you play the Kadeshi or a exploration team or even a freighter passing through the nebula, discovering and/or destroying things. Add more if this is selected.

Last option - Add your own ideas.

Also, for the people who don't play halo and want to find out about weapon's and ships you can find tonnes of info at Homeworld Shipyards (http://shipyards.relicnews.com/)

[The Shadow]

I voted Karos exploration, Galactic council and big ship, because those sound the most interesting.

Again I will join if I can find the time...

[Psymon]

I like the idea of Little ship, big galaxy, (no prizes for guessing why, look at the middle userbar) though I'm not averse to being bridge crew or something on a big ship. And trying to get through the Great Nebula sounds interesting.

[grewican]

i think you should fuse both great race and all out war...that would be a blast

[Kaito]

Turanic pirates has the most potential for a BW IMO. Less military style, more improvision, more action.
Also voted for Karos Exploration and Big Ship.

[Gorb]

I vote for all out war because I know nothing about Homeworld.

[Raver]

All out war would have to be one of the option's where you'd have to know quite alot about homeworld ships and weapons and races and all that. If you have the time, take a look at Homeworld Shipyards.

[Ragnarok]

heh...im the only one who voted for the Beast.....so far....

HW: Cataclysm is the only one i played enough to know a bit about them.....

[Sword_Monkey]

I just want to have this damn storyline sorted, can't actually start thinking about my character/race/ship(s) until I know what the setting is.

[Sevorak]

I concur with the sword-toting monkey. I would also like to pose a query pertaining to the status of original races; would you intend for us to be stuck with the existing fare, or will we be permitted to fabricate our own original creations?

I would recommend the latter choice, as there is a significant discrepancy in the actual power of many of the existing Homeworld races - and doing some of them justice might simply be impossible without adversely affecting the options and possibilities for RP'ing. For instance, the Bentusi possess ludicrously powerful strike craft - a wing of Super Acolytes can nigh-effortlessly decimate entire frigate wings with next to no casualties, and the tradeships themselves are virtually impervious to the attacks of most of the 'lesser' races.

The Kadeshi would also pose a similar problem - Multi-Beam frigates are massively superior to anything the Hiigarans or the Taiidan can throw at them, and it's extremely likely that the Kadeshi possess larger and meaner craft that they haven't demonstrated yet. If a single Kadeshi frigate possesses firepower superior to a Taiidan destroyer, then how nasty are their own destroyers, or cruisers, going to be?

Regardless, I would appreciate a forthcoming answer so that we can begin formulating ideas for characters and development. :)

[crawford'n'co]

I voted the great nebula one because it opens a few possibilities. We could make our own fluff about the Kadeshi (new ships, the source of their technology etc etc) or maybe a recreation of the Exiles passage through the nebula by the Kadeshi view.

[Raver]

Okay, heres whats gonna happen.

Im gonna post up a dedicated OOC thread with a poll, allowing you all to vote again on which of the two top contenders, Big Ship & All out War, you would most like. Once we're all agreeing on which one we want I will then remove the poll and post and story, rules, race information, ship information and such.

Also be warned, by Internet connection here is fucked. So if some of the posts are retarded or entire thread's are just...yeah, then you'l know why. I have access to a normal connection half of the week but for the time's I don't, I apologize.

Once everything has been worked out in the OOC thread, Ill post the IC thread.

All good? Alrighty then!

Notice: I have posted the OOC thread, there is more information there.

[Sahjira]

A little suggestion for the rather flaky Internet connection as I have dealt with such a problem for some time. Write everything you intend to post in a word processor and save it, then copy and paste what you write into the reply box. Quickly post and all is well. . .

On to the subject of a Homeworld Boardwar, I am all for this. . . Whatever it ends up being.

@Above: Cool Sign up in the OOC thread and wait for the start up.
