One of the suggestions I made somewhere was that instead of reserving callsigns for Jumpgate Evolution, they should be blocked -- to force everyone to start a new "character" -- which could theoretically ease people into new roles.

Absent this, my first inclination would be to continue the current squad and overall RP -- depending on how the backstory for Jumpgate Evolution is set up.

Again, I guess it all depends on what Jumpgate Evolution turns out to be. There may BE no Octs or Sols or Quants. No way of knowing. If there are no Octavians, then there can be no Octavian Aggressor Squad. No OAS, then Wild_Bill will have to totally re-think who he is and what he wants to do. Ambro's suggestion of a complete character block is interesting in a scary sort of way.

Like I said, I guess what I do depends on what there is TO do and what ways there are of doing it. As several of you have pointed out, we've all changed in the last half-decade plus. My life circumstances have changed radically, as some of yours obviously have as well. I really can't imagine putting in 8-12 hours per day on this game or any other. At the same time, I don't WANT to imagine a world without JumpGate either. I'll hope for the best and deal with whatever I get. Bring it on!

Absolutely correct. For all we know we may have to chose being Gnomes, Vegans or Welsh.

I chose lasagna.

For all we know we will be choosing between various species of furries.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I still remember that thread on the old jossh forums, where the furries came out of the woodwork like termites. Tritian went insane and started a Furry-killing crusade, hahahahaha

[Montaugh]

I've not played Gohlem in a long time and I think I'll just retire him so I can start someone new. I will go Quantar unless Hyp or Aman is an option. I plan on keeping my focus on the pve aspects of the game with once in a blue moon pvp like I used to do though.

I'm looking forward to seeing how they are going to advance the storyline the most though. Are we going to have a timeskip? If so how long should it be? Is the reconstruction effort over with? What about the war with the conflux? What happens planetside and why are new pilots being recruited? How have the factions been doing? Has a cult of Emma been founded in Hyperial? What about the stations how is life on those stations?

LOL Liet, I remember that thread. I still have PM's on my JOSSH forum inbox from GM's telling me to stop persecuting the furries from back then. =)

I cant believe they deleted the JOSSH forum archives. So tragic.

Somehow, WileE and the others I talked to were less than enthusiastic when I first suggested this. It would've been the best RP justification for factional warfare EVER.

How I play will start with what the story is. Then continue being formed by my available choices. PvP, Econ, PvE, its all still speculation as to how these things will be done exactly. For the most part my main character will prolly go back to being a "factionalist" that does other stuff too.

I hear they're not actually deleted, just hidden. If this is true, I'm praying that sooner or later they get opened up so can review history.

I think Ill form the oct squad "Carnivore Militia" and fly around space killing vegans and vegentarians...

The reason I am against that is because you are asking for persecution. I can then see...not too far in the future that there will be calls for protection, which will lead to a rift in the community and ultimately destroy the game.

Look at the rift between the turret-people and the anti-turret people.

When you add lifestyle to a game, you are asking for problems. It would be akin to having an all gay faction, or an all KKK faction. You are asking for problems.
