Here you have the five planets throughout the known universe (more may be added in time). On these five planets you have the Main Story, as well as the stories made by the roleplayers. The main story is heavily influenced by the stories of the roleplayers which will be called Sagas. When posting a new thread within the 5 planets, at the end of the title add (Saga) to it, indicating that this is a story that you or your fellow players may all join and collaborate to create. At least 2 people must always be a part of the story, as to keep activity going throughout. Main story events will have the tag (Main Story).
Rules for posting a story.
1. Try to keep something along the same time line going along the "Main Story." Nothing several decades apart from each other. It helps build consistency to the theme of the storyline. However, there is an exception to this. If it involves a story many years in the past that helps develop much of a persons character. Then when posting the story type (Past Saga) on the topic.
2. State the specific time in regards to the main storyline. Like 5 days before or after a certain event in the main story when it first starts. This way people can determine if they are able to join your saga or not. (It would be odd if two people made a saga say 5 days after the start of the main story on two separate planets. They obviously cannot be at both at the same time.)
3. If your saga has a particular bad guy or creatures in it. And it would end up in statted battles as you continued. You can state what kind of stats the boss has. This is where it gets interesting. People who are not involved in the Saga can take control of the boss to defeat your party. (This is a way to train if you are feeling a bit underpowered.) There is a catch to this as well. Say the party had gone through their turns and it was time for the boss to post again. It does not have to be the same person that last controlled this boss. This creates unpredictability on the bosses actions, but they must roleplay the boss at the very least according to how you want him to say or fight. A person may request or be requested to play the boss throughout the entire fight or saga. However, if the said person undergoes the "Trance Rule" then it goes back to the free for all status of who plays the boss. The first person to post as the boss will be the one that takes the action. If there are more boss posts immediately after the initial boss post, then these will be deleted immediately.
