Have you considered hullabaloo? That might confuse some of the skallywags.
I just can't forgive the name. Like. Really? "Colonia"?
I'd say some people deserve to be sent to prison for that, but as is, they're already safely removed from normal society and stuck in a place called "Colonia", so if anything, fate is more cruel than me.
Even the Romans hat better names.
My city's original name was Colonia Agrippa Aggripinensis
It lacks originality - but then it could have been named by one of the player groups there, which could have been much worse!
Word. My birth city started as a roman outpost called Telo Martius. They might have been a bit crazy under those helmets, but they sure could name things!Even the Romans hat better names.
My city's original name was Colonia Agrippa Aggripinensis
The roman equivalent of "City McCityface".Even the Romans hat better names.
My city's original name was Colonia Agrippa Aggripinensis
Who are you? And why is your face so pail with hungover looking ey..... oh hang on a mo.........
Please see above...
I like threads about kale.
See, the Romans knew how to name things.
We still find phalli painted on old wall segments, nevertheless.
Well, mine is lying NEAR sea COAST.
Guess how it's named (translated from Polish, naturally).
I ate too much kale, obviously.
Well, boys gonna be boys. Now or 2000years ago.
Or engraved. Like the one in Pompeii which points to the brothel.
The true sign of civilisation.
the BGS is irrelevant so long as any difference that makes some impact to the game play the player interacts with can be circumvented by just picking a different station with no additional effort or risk or compromise to the player.
I used to be interested in the bgs but you can only run on a hamster wheel so long before that stops being interesting and just becomes useless numbers.
ask the participating players how this whole aegis BGS thing is working out in making any difference to the game. Completely ignored by the narrative it seems.
yea.. years. I haven't been doing the new engineers so there was nothing worth the visit. I've actually been out and about thru the area somewhat recently but just never bothered stopping at any inhabited systems.
The issue isn't that players dont want to expend any effort, it's that they dont want to be responsible for creating the content for a game they are paying for where all that effort exists in their imagination. They want the game to provide the content or be given a means to create the content in a way they can see and interact with within the game.
Currently the bgs content is either meaningless numbers or in your head. kill off 90% of the stations and those numbers may start to matter ...so the thargoid invasion is a good potential tool. But a better tool would be to actually make those numbers create a more visceral identity and impact to the game that matters regardless of the thargoids invading and destroying everything. I want to be forced to care about a game play mechanic, not go out of my way to pretend that it matters when it doesn't.
<shudders> that was an uncomfortable (aka very good) episode!But still creepy to any Whovian
I think it convey the message pretty well and in a relatively short manner. The Roman were nothing if not efficient.
Yeah they had the whole emoticon thing perfectly nailed back then.
