OK with the (possible ) pending demise of KCW (again) I thought it would be interesting to do a civil war server based on one of the lesser played races. IMHO There are too many of you who have preconceived notions of what the Fed or Klingons are like/ what they should be like, or simply identify to strongly with the races.
Soooo
Bonk has tentatively agreed to run a server for the Lyran Civil War if I design it, however I have heard a number of people don't like Lyran at all.
Given this I thought I'd put a poll up.
Now as many of you would realize, this would be a server that I have no real idea of a races background. Having said that, I can confirm that I would be more than happy to ask (or , well ,demand actually) input from people that know something about the race.
I can say that I have a big enough...ego that I would not be changing things once set to accomadate any group of people.
(Well other than me) and that I'm more than happy to screw all of you equally.
(Well maybe a little extra for whomsoever gets J'inn on their side)

I WANT KCW, DARNIT!!! >:(
-
Lyrans fit the bill nicely.
-
I'd like to see KCW as well- the problems are though that (afaik) we're missing both house leaders of one house,
that we don't have anyone (atm) to technically run it, that there are already people who have walked away from it
and that any time it seems to get close to running time a couple of people show up and start saying that we "have to" or "should" change things.
Honestly I'd see the same problems for a server involving the Feds- which is why they're not on the poll.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! We've been waitin' fer over fer this and right when we're on the threshold the community just cops out!!! Somebody needs to suck in their gut, stiffen their upper lip, and git to work on this thing and have it up and runnin' by this weekend! Forget about the absent house leaders - replace 'em! Forget about the nay-sayers - tell 'em to shut up! We got the installer, we got the draft, we got the server kit, we got the rules, we got the server, now all we need is some GUMPTION!!! :rant: :soap: :cuss: :2gun:

Just sent Bonk a PM on a server that Jeff and I have been chatting about for a few months vis-a-vis a Rom Civil War, including, possibly, the ISC. :rwoot:
-
Tough call, I voted Lyran, but I'd definitely like to see the Rom one that Jeff and FatherTed have been brewing too.
-
Just a rough sketch in the PM I sent you, but it's based on an SFB campaign.
-
I Voted Kzin. Hell were T-Bombing each other as it is on any server were on. ;D
I would make one little rule. You start off in a Z-DD. If you happen to loose that ship. You are demoted to flying a Z-CL for the next two days ;D
-
I didn't vote. KCW! KCW! KCW!

Hoi Folks,
Good thread Hexx. Working on the Lyran civil war sounds like a great idea. Eventually running a Civil War server for all the races would be cool.
Take care

Hmm... picked up 1 positve and 1 negative karma for that. I guess the community reaction is split? ;)

I have been saying this for the last month to no avail. There is only so much "inertia" that you can take. KCW was given a lot of slack to get going, but at the end of the day there needs to be results. In addition, some people caught flak from your fleet for even trying to help out. You need to send this post to your SSCF admirals next time.

DAMNIT! I wanna engage in some "Friendly Fire" on Hexx! In the same HOUSE, and now its kaput?
F***!
-
In addition, some people caught flak from your fleet for even trying to help out.
If you're referring to Day's post, that wasn't flak. He was simply stating that it was only polite to confer with Hooch before launching the server, which Bonk wholly agreed to.

If only it was that polite... ::)

A Roumlan civil war would be cool, and I understand DH is already working on it. (At least conceptually.) Kzinti would also fit the bill.
But I wan't to vote in your poll and I can't. I just can't seem to find that Klingon button. :P

Would Lyran Civil War be as much fun as the Klingon Civil War was?
If so then forget it.

IIRC, there is SFB history for civil wars or succession wars for all the races except Federation and Gorn.

Only thing I'd need is the map, the mod could be thrown together in about an hour or 2.
But I'm kinda working on something else right now which is being held up by this KCW nonsense.
-
As much as I would still like to see KCW get off the ground (considering the amount of work that has been put into it up to this point), I'm not sure how successful it might be with all of the "problems" surrounding it.
drb brought up a good point, about a series of civil war campaigns, which, incidently, has been discussed in the past.
As to the poll, my personal preference is the Lyran option, only because I have done research on the subject of Lyrans, and have notes to get things started.
-
As a Romulan wearing a Federation uniform I have to say that the thought of an "all Romulan" server is intriguing, but exhausting. While I love Romulan ships, people and all else that is Romulan, the thought of hour long battle after hour long battle makes me tired just thinking about it. :skeptic:
Something "direct fire" would be best, in my not so humble opinion. Something like... oh, say Klingon, for example. ;)
I voted Kzin. But I think the idea is a good one no matter what race is chosen. :woot:
Respects...

There was an ISC civil war? I always thought they just underwent a "change of philoshophy" from high-and-mighty intergalactic UN to just another player in the war...
-
Mirror Mirror the Fed Civil war would be nice I already got my sig for it posted in Wany's thread...... ;D
Hell, I'll post it again here, I'm kinda happy with it, and Die Hard will be so proud of me......... ;D
