Welcome to Gaia! ::

As you may or may not have noticed, the Real World section of our guild is very sparse in the way of information!

I am going to let you members make suggestions in this thread as to how the world of the real should be structured and divided up. I already have some of my own ideas, but the more help I have from you, the better it will be for us all.

So far I'm thinking something along the lines of the underground network only taking up the southern hemisphere of the Earth while the north belongs to the machines and their city(ies). Each new 'colony' like Zion would have a representative individual in addition to the council and these representatives would form a world-wide council of their own in a time of global crisis. Sort of like having a president and then a congress.

Sentinels guard the equator letting nothing near the human crop without express permission or formal request due to certain formalities in the Zion-Deus Ex truce.

I'm also considering dedicating a part of the real world as a 'no-man's land' where fights break out constantly between magnetic ships and sentinels and even people on foot trying to survive the desolate wastelands. Possibly some sort of open waterway or irradiated land that even the machines didn't want to populate.

This would open up the 'survival/refugee' aspect of the real world where criminals in the real world may be forced out into the wild surface of the planet or pilots may be stranded due to ship failure.

Any input is appreciated.

Youve got a bunch of great ideas. The council part sounds like a check/balance system, which i like.

As for the no-man's-land, great. I wouldnt make it a waterway, limits non-ship related possibilities. But i would assume you could work your way around that.

The border system seems like a good way to keep PC's from venturing too far into uncharted territory, as it were.

Last, travelling between cities could be easily remedied. The Subway or doorways. The subway is the easiest. Doorways, on the other hand, are a little more difficult. There could be locations around the city, like a restaurant, where there is one door that leads to other cities.

Thats my two cents, anyway...

We could say that part of the peace agreement would allow for the use of some sentinel assistance in creating intercity 'highways' and patching up old tunnels to allow transportation that would not cross over the equator (After all, no humans = no power for machines, so they would have to give in to some demands).

In addition I can see an on-going project for the real world machines to seal/guard entrances to all northern hemisphere tunnels.

That way you can still have roleplays where people are trying to sneak past the machine 'construction crews' to get to the north.

Yes? No? Smoothies?

Um, forget what i said about doorways. Bad (and irrationally conceived) idea.

But yeah, maybe we could have a transit system. Like a large subway system, connecting the different human cities.

Not sure I understand.

Horrible joke! >P

I'm starting to doodle images so people can see what Passerby looks like since it's going to be a permanant place..

Are people afraid to start roleplaying? I could dump ten of my guys in there at once but that's hardly satisfying.

I see some of you are wearing the guild banner, fantastic! Remember to bump our advert threads and help notify people that our guild is the best to join.

the roleplay seems...very technical..
any way a sentinal could be roleplayed as?

I think he just means that our style is rather detailed. Rather that or he means technical as in it's a worthwhile place to rp a machine.
