We've tried to sway them, but they would not listen. The Factions have spoken. The Exodus is over. We will settle here, in this savage quadrant far from the original destination. May our ancestors forgive us.
-Former Templar Ambassador

Delegates of the Factions, you are gathered here to discuss and vote upon the actions we shall take in settling the Quadrant.

The fist priority is to determine who will colonize which planets.

We also must determine how we will scout the surrounding area, and the order in which technology shall be researched.

/OOC
New voting cycles will happen every Monday and Friday.

Special rules I will use:
1. When voting to build something on a faction world, the faction that would build it has the right to veto. The other two factions cannot force a faction to build something they don't want to.
2. While the factions will vote on what the Templar ships will do, each faction will have direct control over their own military when they start making their own ships.

Map: Rinze Arm 75x100 (99 worlds)

Difficulty: Impossible (3 enemies)

The factions are Moklumnue, Cadar, and Javat. Brutus Aurelius , Cory Trese , ntsheep , havnor , chenrazee , En1gma , hissrad and anyone else who wants to join in, go ahead and post which faction you want to join. I'll just tag Tomas of Moklumnue too because I'd bet there is a good chance he'll want to join.

[Brutus Aurelius]

I shall join the mighty Cadar! Can't wait for this game to get into full swing

[En1gma]

Don't... Know... Who to join...

I'll wait until more people file into their preferred factions before settling in. I can RP any of these so I'll go where I'm needed.

[hissrad]

I'll go....Javat I think tho I'm cool anywhere dude. Just excited to get one of these going again.

[ntsheep]

Javet is a good choice for me. I can mine rocks and carve them into torp shapes to screw with those Cadarian ninnies.

I've never run a community game or even GM'ed for a tabletop RPG before. If you guys ever think I'm not doing a good job at this, let me know how I can improve.

Of course you will
When I was typing up the first post, I was tempted to say:

[En1gma]

You know what? I'll throw my hat in with Cadar. Seeing as there is no Templar order besides the starting ships, I will join the more militaristic of the three.

[Atlas Screams]

That moment when you want to join but you're a die hard Cadar and the only open slot is Moklumnue.

[LordofSyn]

Sign me up for Mok as it is empty.

Nah, you can be Cadar if you want. All the factions are "open", but it is just better when the factions have a somewhat even number of players. Syn just joined as Mok anyway, so don't worry about it

[LordofSyn]

Moklumnue votes to Colonize Voidbeard. The hive placement should be easy to spot per Faction type.

Advises Javat to Mobius. Cadar can take other large system.

[resistor]

Honored delegates, the colony ships must land soon, and your votes and proposals are do by Friday 1:30 PM (US Central Time; GMT -6).

Moklumnue is attempting to claim Voidbeard's Landing. They shall have it if both Cadar and Javat do not oppose them.

If one of the factions wants to land as soon as possible, I will remind them Voidbeard's Landing and Kyzan Incendium are the only worlds reachable within one week by the colony hives (except for the Cadar hive, which is the Northernmost and cannot reach Voidbeard's Landing in one week).

I also must ask what your proposals are for our technology research path.

Finally, I will ask what your proposals are regarding the Templar vessels. Should we use our Wolf Cruisers to scout the area, or should they stay back with the soon-to-be colonies and let only the Exo-scout ship explore?

[hissrad]

Assuming ntsheep agrees, Javat would claim Mobius Loop. It being a red star would fit our mining expertise.

As for scouting, as long as the defenders don't stray to far it's fine with me.

[En1gma]

Cadar will assume control of the WLC Rim. This yellow system will place us between the Xeno and our less militant allies.

[ntsheep]

I second hissrad. Mobius Loop sounds good.
