Futuristic The Deep Dark: A Space-Age, Galactic Freeroam RP

[Zaire Ananta]

The Jaak Ti was a small species. To put it simply, time-wise the Jaak Ti were not difficult opponents.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

That does not eliminate the issue that the Jaak Ti, if we designate them as the *Precursors*, is believed to be wiped out by the Devor according to the(current) lore, while also eradicated by OIGA. While it may be possible for them to be forced to fight both, by definition, only one enemy can possibly be their ultimate eradicators. And if they were a small species they would not have *ruins found all around the galaxy*.


We have to change the description of the Precursors to make this work. General Manager @Cry U 945 , your presence is requested.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

Okay so OIGA and Devor saw the Jaak Ti as a plague. Like i said the Jaak Ti had very advanced technology. They had teleportation. So they were spreading extremely fast to all planets and as a hive mind they would quickly dominate the galaxy. We could also alter the Jaak Ti to be aggressive, so they were destroying outposts and entire world of people they were slaughtering for their gain. So OIGA and Devor had no choice. And to tie that up, they could have joined forces as neither had enough troops or tech to defeat the Jaak Ti by themselves. and this occured a very long time a go. This all also explains the ruins.

 

[whitefoxkiller]

So I'm confused. We're they precursors or nah?

 

[Quarantinetimer]

Everything is sort of fine? except for the OIGA and Devor joins forces bit. The sole objective of the Devorantem is galactic consumption and they will probably try to kill the humans as soon as they even saw them, especially if they were that primitive.


No actually, we still have lots of contradictions if we put the Jaak Ti in like this. Let's leave it at that wait for the arbitrator to decide, and not turn this into an argument.


And entities that were created and expanded previously (approved as well of course!) needs to be put into the lore. The UD and my crystal extended explanation bits for example.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

okay! This was a great debate though!

 

[AlphaDraco]

There is also a problem with the OIGA being mostly human before the Rooktan joined in the fact that Humanity was a newcomer to the Galaxy when they met the Rooktan. The Rooktan, if the timeline is correct, met humanity two thousand years after they started colonizing worlds, making them spacefaring at for at least 1500 years before humanity gained FTL.

 

[LeviathanL]

Can we think about starting?

 

[Quarantinetimer]

At the very least, the General Manager needs to finish his post and give the signal.

 

[Cry U 945]

Okay, ridiculous absence due to family issues aside, I believe I've come up with a solution to the debate involving the Jaak Ti. How about this: The Jaak Ti are the dominant, if not only, sentient race in their galaxy. Then the Devor join the party. At first, the Jaak Ti dominate, devastating Devor forces with advanced technology. However, seemingly endless numbers quickly turn the tide, and the Jaak Ti quickly realize that if they do not escape, they will die. The Devor have boxed them in, so they only have the option to take colonists and the majority of their civilization and teleport them to a random galaxy, which just so happens to be the Milky Way. After the Milky-Way-Warp, the Jaak Ti begin rapidly colonizing and shaping portions of the galaxy, but are soon found by the OIGA. A tentative alliance forms for about six months, but is broken under suspicion of preparing for war. The war is short and bloody, with the OIGA forces able to eradicate the Jaak Ti. However, diplomatic troubles soon draw the OIGA away, and they never recieve a chance to explore the ruins, therefor never learning of the Devorantem's existence until it is too late. About a hundred years later the Devorantem arrive, the initial insurgence and counter-attack causing the territorial deadlock occurs, and we are lead to the RP's starting point.


Any questions, concerns, etc?


Also, I apologize for the long absence, and accept that there is no excuse for it. Sorry for the problems it may have caused.

Ok,so that means the OIGA was originally made up of the Rooktan, Colonians, Drakor, and other races besides humanity, as the Rooktan found them when the humans were fighting the Devor for the first time.

Exactly. Becoming brothers-in-arms is one of the reasons humanity so quickly earns a seat on the OIGA council, as well.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

I think what you posted meant we can now replace *Precursors* with *Jaak Ti*, and that OIGA literally forgot about them and no records are left, which is why they are "rediscovering" the Jaak Ti.


Up the pace, lest we lose another.

The problem is that the Precursors as they are now are tied to the storyline, meaning that if we changed them we'd severely affect the story, and I'm trying to fit things in around that factor without damaging the existing plot at all.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

This is as troublesome as collaborative writing, I've realized.

 

[Cry U 945]

That's pretty much what this is, just without the actual writing of the book. Instead, we do it through posts in a thread.

 

[LeviathanL]

Remember in the beginning we said we wouldn't allow over the top sci-fi stuff? Now we have mass teleportation, esp and mechas. The sacrifices you make for players.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

xD . So has the boss said when we begin?

 

[LeviathanL]

Well, there is this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb, and an hour to go around it. Every year a little bird comes along and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when this bird has worn down the mountain into dust we will be very close to beginning.

 

[Yesman]

wait, how fast are we climbing and how fast are we walking when going around it?

 

[Quarantinetimer]

Ah... besides that first post, we need something else. Post Order! Why don't we roll some virtual dice and figure it out now?

 

[Yesman]

how many players do we have?


I count 8.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

It's actually 9+1.


Edit: The +1 is to signify to special identity of the General Manager.

 

[Yesman]

so 10?


[dice]20101[/dice]


Welp, I'm going last...or first...or whatever

 

[Quarantinetimer]

[dice]20102[/dice]


Something is wrong with the dice system.


EDIT: Disregard this result.
