Why not just jump right in? Combat will naturally accompany story. Should issues arise, we could leave a solution up to a majority vote to dampen bias.

Over the past couple of months I've been toying with the idea of creating a world map for Spherus Magna. Given the nature of the transition that is now in progress, now might be an ideal time to undertake such a project. What do you all think?
I like Kepler's idea of having major cities, such as Atero-Nui and say, Destral having their own sub-forums with different locations/streets/buildings as threads and what-not.
Agreed. I don't know about Destral, but it makes sense to me to have Atero Nui's subforum split up into its different Elemental districts.

That sounds good, and we could use the map to create a travel system like that of the late Hobbit RP. Then there would be actual advantages and disadvantages for using things like Xiajets vs tanks, and it would also make the RP feel busier.

Forgive me; I don't think that I ever visited that roleplay. What travel system did it employ?

Well, you had a map, like so [sea][land][city1] [land][land][sea] [sea][city2][sea] (Obviously ours wouldn't be ascii) And each bit was a topic. And if you wanted to go from city1 to city2 you had to have your charecters go on a path through the map and post in the relevant topics, with periods of time between posts depending on travel speed. Obviously teleporters could bypass the whole thing, and a Xiajet wouldn't have to wait near as much time as a Xiacarrier who wouldn't have to wait as much as a Nektann squad.

I am not sure I favor a system (especially since the idea is to transition away from tanks and stuff). I have always enjoyed free travel, and I hope all of us here can be trusted to be realistic with travel time, at least if requested. That said, I do still favor having to post in adjacent topics... I mean... come on, guys. That's just logic.

Yeah, I wasn't advocating blehspeed = bleh#ofposts Just that travel time should be considered and we should remember to use adjacent topics. A map is essential to such an aim.

We definitely need a map, and I like the travel idea. I also agree with nick. We need to be more active on the chatroom. It might be a good idea for you, Mechboard, to send the password to the chatzy to everyone and schedule meetings as best as possible.

Everyone here is fine with using chatzy? If so, I'll need that password, because I definitely need to be a part of those meetings.

I don't want to cause a problem here, but I am slightly concerned that these meetings may be problematic for me. Given that I am in a different time zone from (at least the majority of) you, my input may be minimal.
Okay, let's see - assuming the greatest degree of separation, Pacific Standard Time is approximately seven hours behind Greenwich Meridian Time. Actually, this may not be so bad... I don't want to make this revolve around my own needs, but are you all okay doing something like this in the morning?
Regardless, I probably won't be involved for at least another week and a half. Exams finish on the 20th; from then on I will be free in terms of the near future.

As for the next four weeks I will be at a program where one finds the most available showers at 6:00 in the morning (11:00 for you, I believe), that works fine. (As it so hilariously happens, Nick himself occupies PST, while the others of us appear to reside in Central or Eastern Standard).
