This is the roleplaying organisation thread. For dealing with roleplaying issues in the present and in the future.
Current activites include.
Pholus Lunar Newscast
The Pholus Lunar Newscast - submissions thread is where you can contribute your stories or make advertisments. The editor will incorporate these into the newspaper.
Inter-factional Debating
The Inter-factional Debating Teams will work by teams. It will be fairly relaxed in nature and will be judged by the CMNs. It will be judged according to the quality of the arguments and the delivery that means it’s far more likely for a team to win if they make good points, and organise their overall arguments and rebuttals into something posts that are easy to understand and entertaining. The setup will be similar to the debates that occurred in ACDGII.
Hive vs University & Drones - nervestapling is perfectly safe.
Cycon vs Pirates - cycon's parrots are better than pirate's parrots
Initial suggestions for debating topics can be made in this thread. If there are several topics put forth the topics will be polled.
It is important for each interested team to put together a core debating team. This is required so that teams without interested people can be excluded from the debating allocations. The initial debating teams are only needed for a team to qualify in the debates. So a team member who didn’t initially sign up for the debate can contribute if his or her team is okay with that.
It is expected that 1 week will be given to organisation of a debate, 1 week for the teams to make their arguments and a few days for judges to decide the winner. The period between successive debates will decided according to activity and demand, at this time it is expected that a debate will only occur once every month.
Inter-factional IC story
The Inter-factional IC story is something that hasn’t been tried before. It’s something like a choose your own adventure only with multiple people and you write the story segments. I hope it will be fairly informal and mistakes in plot, grammar or spelling will mostly be forgiven.
The story won’t follow exactly what is happening in the gameplay although participations can reference things that are happening in their faction or have happened in other factions if they wish. However, to prevent secret information being leaked story segments should not concentrate too much on the issues that are not common knowledge outside their faction.
Each faction will have their own viewpoint on the story, only the CMNs will have the full picture of what is going on over the full story. The narrator’s job is to guide the various threads and allow for the story threads of various factions to overlap and interact with each other. This will be interesting as you won’t have the full picture so while you’re writing you are also trying to explore the events in the other story threads.
When you contribute a story segment you can label the story with the factions that are allowed to see it. If you do so the factions you have labelled will get a copy in their story thread and will be able to react to it either by writing a story segment that you can see, or by writing a private story segment where events happen that you will only find out later. Story segments without labels will be assumed that you don’t want other factions to find out. This means you can decide what events or information in your story are top secret easter eggs that other factions have to find out the hard way.
First, for this to get off the ground a few people have to be interested in contributing. If nobody in a faction is willing to contribute the faction needs to request to be included to have the public parts of the story posted to their forum. This is so factions don’t end up with a story thread that they’re not interested in contributing to and not interested in reading.
To announce whether you are interested in contributing you can either private message me or post your interest in here. Factions that are interested in reading the story as it unfolds can also post their interest in here too.

Someone needs to figure out the debating topics. Doesn't nessacary have to be game related, just interesting for both sides.

Another faction needs to nominate at least a debating team of one person.
At this time only there are two spartans that are officially in a debating team and one or two others that have expressed interest, but haven't agreed to be in a debating team.

Honghu, don't feel like you have to hold everything up. Sometimes you need to decide which fights you want to win and which fights you have to lose. Most people take up more tasks they can complete and end up having to neglect some of the tasks they wanted to do, so that they can do others better. That's just the way I think life is sometimes, you make trade offs depending what you think is more important. I didn't promise that I wouldn't drift away, in fact I was already guessing I wouldn't be around. I simply promised that I wouldn't attempt to push work your way. I know that you love this place and you want to stay, but don't be bound here by a sense of duty. Once you start doing things here because you feel you're obliged to it becomes a job and you won't enjoy it anymore. When it becomes a job for you then you will realise you have far more important jobs in real life that need your attention and you will very much want to leave. This is from the experience of someone that had to go through this a twice
Don't feel down, I went to quite some length as you know to let you know that you are not a fault for the problems you take upon yourself. Well almost all, I gave you a hint of a warning that you were biting off more than you could chew with the year by year history you started. Anyway, my own drifting would have been pretty much the same nomatter what your decision.

You folks have done a nice job. I am impressed with your work.
I hope the historian job remains filled. Perhaps the various factions can prepare the historian files for the master historian to review and incorporate into the master history files. This should make the job of the master historian less time consuming.
The lack of a comprehensive history was one of the few disappointments of the last ACDG.
The game is starting to take a life of its own, and soon, and if we can all survive our encounters with the all-mighty and voracious Hive, the game will rule the gameplay.

Come on teams - who wants a debate team? That could be a great way to attract new members..... 
You know the reason I came here is for the people. But it's ok if I had to work alone. I just don't think we can both leave like that. (You said yes when I suggested we both chip in a little.
