This is the story thread for the "1st Darwin's Legacy" game going on at PBW. Through out the game myself and the other players will be posting story material here for your reading enjoyment. None of us make any claims at being professional writers but we try hard. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
The story material you see here is a part of the "Galactic Council" thread in the game forum. That thread is governed by the following rules.
Rules for the Council Thread.
8) The Galactic Council is an added game twist. Every 50 turns after all in-game empires have made contact, all players will gather in the forum to cast a vote for a "Galactic Emperor" or winner. Each race is allowed 2 votes, one vote "For" a Galactic Emperor and one vote "Against" another empire. You may cast them both or abstain as you wish. Each player will serve as "host" for the council at one point for role-play purposes, starting with the owner and descending down the list in order as the players joined. The council serves 3 real game functions.
8a) A method of ending the game amicably when enough players feel they can not win. It requires a unanimous vote to elect a "Galactic Emperor".
8b) A method for "scr##ing" that one player who always seems to jump to an astonishing lead in the game and abuses everyone else's empire. If a 3/4 majority vote is made "Against" a particular empire, that empire is labeled a "Galactic Menace". All those players may form a sanctioned partnership for the sole purpose of destroying the Galactic Menace. Once accomplished they must break the partnership treaties. This is the only case where a players may have a treaty above a trade and reasearch alliance.
8c) *A story thread*. At game start the Galactic Council Thread will be created in the game forum. Feel free to add whatever rp/story elements you want through out the game. Write about those critical attacks, small events, or what have you from your empire's perspective. When it comes time to vote, role-play it. Hurl the diplomatic insults, preen and position as you want just keep it RP and fun.
At end game, we will have the complete story of a struggle for galactic domination from start to finish that we can post at Shrapnel Games.
This thread is not open to story material from bystanders (people who are not players). However, anyone is welcome to post feedback for us all.
