Do you remember the Space Empires Universe Ladder? If not, it was the first and greatest SE role-playing community out there (not to mention the only long-term successful one thus far (not counting PBC, which is an entirely different form of role playing)). If so, don't you want it back in business?
Unfortunately due to the illicit activities of a select few, it was shut down temporarily back in late 2002. Now, we are working on getting it back up to spec. We are looking for people interested in helping to create a new and improved role-playing and empire rules system in a private setting. If you are interested in making the best RP community to date, please contact me via email or IM. My info is in my profile. Or, you can post here. Info on how you could contribute would be helpful. Thanks.

If you have any questions pertaining to the Ladder, I will likely be more than willing to answer them.
