SE RPG community dying *sigh*

Wow is it really dead?

I'm new to the game and genre and thought the community for SEIV was the best I've seen for any game. Not the biggest but the best. I just started a game on PBW and we have 10 players. That can't be everyone. There are hundreds registered at PBW.

Or am I missing something. When TaeraRepublic refers to Space Empires is that some smaller group of which I'm not aware? What was the "major judj-hadrian conflict" anyway?

Don't die now community! I'm having too much fun.

It is not dead.

I think Taera is referring to people who not only multiplay, but do it in an RPG fashion. That means that they don't go "out of character" while using out of bounds communication like email. I intend to roleplay as much as I can in my current PBW game (with you Letharg). So for example, in stead of saying "Please move your ships away!" I'll say:

"The diplomatic emmisary of the Dragon Empire respectfully conveys the wishes of his Emperor. It is Our desire that you clarify the intent of your vessels who have entered into Dragon space. Be aware that if no explanation is forthcoming, forthwith, we will treat them as hostile."

I'm just curious about what's always going on between Hadrian and Judj. I mean what the hell is the big deal between them?

I'm not so interested in the judj-Hadrian thing... I'm more interested as to why they think we should all know about it :P

Back to the RPG topic..
every game I play, any communication between players I do in "Role" unless it's technical Queries or similar.

The RPG community aint dead, we just dont have a website that tells everyone else what's happening

I think Taera means RPG in larger scale. There used to be a lot of Role Play were people wrote tens of pages in forums. Nowadays I've seen only little compared to that. The Judj-Hadrian thing has been around since SE3 so I don't know a lot about it.

I, too, intend to be a pure role-player; I'm less interested in winning the game than I am in telling the stories of my people.

Of course, I haven't actually _played_ yet; I'll be joining my first PBW game in a day or two.
