Enemies of the Noble: Rise of the Apostasy [SIGN UP THREAD]

[i effin rule]

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m88/nlw2006/EOTN.png



It appears as if the current short game is rounding third so I figured I'd go ahead and post this. I'd prefer to have a full game of players so I have no problem waiting for sign ups to roll in, not to mention I'll need to wait for Rev to get back too and there are 2 long games going on.


You can check back in this thread leading up to the game for a sort of run-down to the universe and a bit of insight.

Dayordra

Dayordra is a mostly arid planet and roughly the size of Earth’s Russia. Its days last about 48 hours and its nights about 24 due to its distance from its sun. It was colonized by a scout unit of The United Human Forces, a military faction of Earth descendents. The group was granted permission to claim the planet as their own and was relieved of their military duties. The planet had no known intelligent life form currently occupying it, though research showed that it had at some point been colonized by another species.

The colony is still fairly young, having occupied Dayordra for just over half a century. Though because of those who colonized it the planet has quickly risen to a militaristic and technological powerhouse. During the time of colonization there have been many attempts to overthrow the government by outsiders, but the strength of their military has proven to be too much for all that tried.

[i effin rule]

Government

The government of Dayordra can be compared to a militaristic dictatorship, though with some differences. The person at the head of the government is known as the Premier and they have the most authority and power. The Premier, however, is not the ultimate authority as a set of checks and balances ensure that the government is not overthrown.

The first Premier was appointed when Dayordra was colonized and new Premiers are only appointed if the reigning Premier has died or retired. If the reigning Premier has a child of above the age limit, he or she will become the new Premier. If no such child exists a new Premier is appointed.

If there is an assassination of the Premier the system changes substantially to ensure that the Premiership isn’t awarded to a member of a rebel group. Three officials are voted into office by the citizens of Dayordra. These officials operate similarly to a single Premier; only a majority vote between the three will cause an action to go through. These officials can be removed from office if voted out by the citizens of Dayordra. In this case another election will take place. These three officials will remain in charge until a proper investigation of the death has been made. In the event that the assailant(s) have been named or apprehended any child can be appointed or in the case of no child another shall be appointed.

The military and police units are one in the same for Dayordra. All military units report to the commander who reports only to the Premier or the three elected officials. This, however, does not include the Noble; an elite group of soldiers who work under the order of the Premier or elected officials only.

[i effin rule]

The Noble

The Noble are an elite soldier unit for the government of Dayordra. Noble are genetically altered super soldiers who are created in labs. Embryos are donated to the government by the mothers a few weeks after conception. Scientists take those embryos and alter them on the DNA level, recoding them to exhibit specific traits. Several hundred years worth of studies have allowed them to nearly perfect the process.

There are a few changes that are made to every embryo to ensure that they work as needed. The first is rapid aging, allowing the complete embryo to grow nearly four times as quick as a normal one. Once the size of a traditional young adult the aging process is slowed down so that a Noble can live roughly twice as long as a normal person.

Other changes to all Noble include super strength, enhanced athleticism, faster brain processing, and a high pain threshold. The final adjustment made to all Noble is infertility. There have long been fears that a child born of a Noble parent could exhibit severe complications.

Once the basics are set up for each embryo the scientists begin to give additional abilities. These are very specific and are based on perceived needs and perfected experiments. These abilities vary in many different ways and are comparable to powers seen in Earth’s comic books.

I'd like to play this one, but this is my bad season (plus The League, and I'm in a game at the moment).

Slot me in a reserve spot for now. If things clear up, I might move to the main roster.

[moon_lit_tears]

If you have a spot for an airhead...this one wants in. :)

[Astil]

ier I would like to be in reserves. VGM2 may take a lot of my time, plus I need to have a big quarter at work.

[i effin rule]

For anyone who may be unsure, this is not based on any real theme. It is a completely original theme.

[BHK1978]

I have been looking forward to this since you gave an idea as to what it was going to be about. So I guess what I am saying is, yes I am in.

[mjdgoldeneye]

I shall play.

[Comradebot]

Can you at least give us a setting? I'm on the fence on if I want to join a second game or not.

I know you probably do not want to spoil it in here but I have to ask is this the game with the map that you were planning? If so this is going to be awesome! Like I said, I understand if you do not want to answer this question.

Sorry to disappoint, but nope. That will be reserved for DUST 2, which is mentally in the works and my next short game.

Okay cool, this game sounds great anyway so there is no disappointment on my part. And I shall now stop spamming this thread.

[moon_lit_tears]

I'm disappointed. I wanted a map.

Intact I DEMAND one!

[Comradebot]

Alrighty, fine, put me down... IER usually makes himself a good game.

[Destiny]

Please count me in. I am only playing one other game at the moment, that being Video Game Mafia, and would love to play this.

[eayragt]

All roles have been written up, so you can probably expect at least some info tomorrow on the game.

[Undertaker666]

I rarely play games where I know nothing of the theme... but go on then.

[michgcs]

in, please

[Prophet]

Ahh, why not ... open ended games, where I can create my persona as ...

Whiffle Zyxxx - Space Aligned Overweight Alien Female Who Always Needs to Sing the Last Note could be fun.

Yay for encouragement!

You merely murder. It is much more sophisticated.

[Astil]

Is this game full?

[Tha Black Phenom]

Think there's about three spots left. dj was overlooked, it seems.

Check back to the second post. I have posted some information on the planet for your reading.


Next up will be information on the government.

[GruntMark]

roughly the size of Earth’s Russia

This calls for a slam dunk competition.

[praguepride]

This calls for a slam dunk competition.

Between Russia and Dayodora?

[Jman2k3]

This calls for a slam dunk competition.

Don't get Lebron James to sign up, he'll back out at the last minute.

[GruntMark]

Between Russia and Dayodora?

Just on Dayodora.

On a body that small gravity would be incredibly light.

Thats about half the size of the moon.

[GruntMark]

Don't get Lebron James to sign up, he'll back out at the last minute.

Well, what should he do?

[Jman2k3]

Well, what should he do?

Have an hour long decison broadcasted on ESPN. :p

Enough spam from me.

You voted for me? :eek: I thought I meant more than that? :(

/Stomps off.

Seriously I'm adding everyone left in the game to my hit list if we lose this game.

How does a lover have a hitlist?

You're lying. LAL. :D

Unless it's my tunnel vision playing up with me again and it's actually a love list, in which case Zeel's going to kill me N1 anyways. So, really, no-win.

Just hurt, not kill. :p

or love...

But the line between the two is almost nonexistent.

:cool:

[Comradebot]

Just to put this into scale, Russia is 6.6 million square miles (which, if my math doesn't completely suck, is about 17 million square kilometers. You're welcome, Destiny.)


Pluto, the former planet turned Dwarf planet, is roughly 6.4 million square miles (16.5 square kilometers). Indeed, Russia is bigger than Pluto.

However, Pluto's mass is too low to permanently retain gases, meaning it periodically loses much of its thin, nitrogen based atmosphere. Seeing as how this planet is colonized... either we're all living massive structures either on, or below, the surface, or Dayodora is created of much denser material than Pluto, maybe holding within it a great deal of Iridium, Platinum, and Osmium, or even elements that don't occur naturally on Earth, such as Seaborgium, Hassium, and those other whacky, whacky elements in the 100+ club on the Periodic Table.


Alrighty, I'm done thinking of science stuff (no, Mr. Pinkman, I'm not building a robot).

[i effin rule]

More information has been added on the government of Dayordra.


The last update will be information regarding the Noble.


Also, three more spots!

[Ranson]

I've waffled about the time I could devote, but I'm in, I suppose.

Diamond is pleased. :p

[Jman2k3]

Don't let Remi see this post, he might call you a player hater like he called me.:D

Not hating.

[masterded]

Put me in the game or reserves seeing as I am dead in all the other games. I am too drunk top see what I am for a fact.

[i effin rule]

The last bit of info has been given and should help shed a little more light. Everything else will have to wait until the opening write up.



Also, just one left (if I decoded masterded's post correctly).

[praguepride]

Im betting that unlike Pluto, this planet has a rich, nougat core.


mmmm... colonization is chocolatey goodness

[praguepride]

Also, is Noble singular and Plurals? So you can have a single Noble shooting you or a whole group of Noble blasting your ass?

Either way Im gonna throw out some slang and call them Nobs. (like knobs). Im also gunna git an orky accent to rally da boyz!

WAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGH!

It is indeed both.

Hopefully one more person will sign up to this game in the near-distant future so that we can get this game underway.

It's a common expression that we occasionally use over here, but eayragt is still a winner.

[eayragt]

Desters, darling, the expression is 'not too distant future', not 'near distant future'.

[MichiganHero]

Destiny, eayragt lives in the UK. So I'm sure he knows the phrase.

[Destiny]

I'll let you have that one then, eayragt. In the not too distant future, I'll limit my use of phrases significantly.

[cappyboy]

Hopefully one more person will sign up to this game in the near-distant future so that we can get this game underway.

Hmmm. So you need one more do you? Well, what do you know? I would make one more. Ring me up. I'm in

[praguepride]

hey there brother cappy!

[i effin rule]

Awesome. As soon as Rev gets back and looks over the role write ups we can send them out.

[cappyboy]

hey there brother cappy!

Hey there Brother Prague. Hopefully you won't be doing anything crazy like setting your dog on me this time. :)

[i effin rule]

You can probably expect roles to be sent out tonight and the game to start Wednesday-ish.


To anyone not playing, would someone be interested in helping out with vote counts?

[praguepride]

Hey there Brother Prague. Hopefully you won't be doing anything crazy like setting your dog on me this time. :)

I can't tell if I should add you to my "to-kill" list.

On the one hand, you snatched away an almost sure-scum win.
On the other hand, you did it with such class it's hard to be mad at you.

Sounds like it's time to flip a coin!

[i effin rule]

All roles should be out. If there are any questions please PM both myself and Rev with them and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

[i effin rule]

If there aren't any objections, this game will probably start tonight.

[Jman2k3]

Can't wait.

Yep. Still this. Need some replacements.

[Dragonmack]

Since I am dead, I can replace someone if needed

[mjdgoldeneye]

I'm sure you want to avoid putting dead people back in, but I'm available too.
