Ok, well I am just spitballin' here, and I haven't read hardly any of the RP on this site, but how about this... I, for one, am a bit tired of the same old 'Cylons want all Humans dead and vice versa' thing. We are supposed to take the story in new directions, so I have a few rough ideas that just popped into my head. 1.) The Cylons are still out there, and the rebel Cylons who decided to live with the Humans are still among us, but there is a race of Aliens which has been living underground incognito on Terra for thousands of years observing the natives. We showed up, and after a while of our industrializing, the Aliens get pissed off. They view us not only as an obstruction of the natural life order on Terra, but also as a threat due to our somewhat advanced technology. (The aliens will be more technologically advanced than both Humans and Cylons, but they recognize our potential) The aliens decide to send a message to their homeworld(s) about us, which incites them to send out both Science vessels AND Warships. On their way to Terra, they encounter a Cylon Basestar or two and annihilate them while the aliens who already reside on Terra begin to perform very clandestine search and destroy stings on our settlements. Being that we cannot catch them, or even see them as they begin to wipe out entire villages on the planet, Terrans, Colonials, and rebel Cylons immediately become completely distrustful of each other once again, thinking that these attacks are terrorist activities. We start to have squabbles between our races again, which becomes violent on occasion... That is until the main force of the Cylon Legion jumps into Terra airspace. At this time, both the rebel Cylons and the Colonials freak out and brace for a battle, thinking that this is the end of it all, but instead of nuking Terra, the Legion sends a diplomatic transport vessel to the surface. Upon its arrival, the Imperious Leader meets with the respective leaders for the Rebels, Colonials, and Terrans in order to inform them of the impending attack from this previously unknown race who destroyed their Basestars. And then, to EVERYONE'S surprise, the Imperious Leader of the Cylon Legion apologizes for years of hostility and attempted Genocide, and basically pleads for a forever lasting and binding truce/alliance in order to survive though this overwhelming threat. Continue from there... Now, there has been quite a bit of RPing about the 'Gods', so I thought of something... 2.) The Gods are at war. They feel as though they are losing control over mortals and the mortal domain, so they decide to bring their battle to our plane of existence in order to show us their true power and regain our faith. This results in numerous Human and Cylon planets being completely obliterated, and we seem powerless to do anything about it. That is until a "Chosen" few are enlightened by each 'Godly' faction and sent into the battle for them. There could also be a faction of mortals who have achieved their own enlightenment, and decide to go to war against the Gods as a whole. 3.) Same scenario with the Gods at war, but after a while of battle and destruction, the One True God returns from a seemingly endless sabbatical and lays waste to everything. Or heals everything. Or destroys half of everything and everyone in order to show the Universe not to Frak with His/Her creations. Or He/She throws a celestial party and gets drunk while watching us fight like it is a UFC Pay Per View. Or nothing... Like I said, I'm just spitballin'.

Ahhhhh! I just read that little hint about "Apolyon" from the link at CC! Hmmmm? Is he a new kind of alien? Or an actual God? Or a mortal who is in the Gods' graces? Muahahahahaha! I am wondering now if I should have just sent my ideas in a PM or something... Oh well.

Cheesy,
I like your ideas! They have such merit!
I would respectfully ASK that we not call the Cylons the Cylon Legion but rather the Cylon Empire as it is that way here. And there is no Imperious Leader but there is a Supreme Commander who is in charge of the Cylon Empire. His name is Justice. And he is not a human lover by any means!
Now, for this RP..............
Rather than use our characters that are already involved in other RP scenarios may I ASK that anyone who plans to be part of the RP make another account just for that purpose.
Unless you have a character you plan to use in this RP then you don't have to create a new one. But it would be simpler if we just started with different characters.
We can do a Character Profile to tell everyone if you are playing a human - a cylon - a cylon sympathizer - a cylon serving the colonials - or a GOD........
Just my 2 cubits worth on the idea. I'm excited about this and hope we can get a lot of people to join in. (nudges Cheesy)

Now this is what I was hoping for-great ideas from great friends! Apolyon is a Cylon with a different agenda. Domination, not annihilation is his game plan.
As for aliens, Cheesy, you're sooo close to it! I've been tossing this idea in my head for a month or so to explain how after a few thousand years, there are only about 20 million indigenous people on Terra. The answer: the rest are underground, deep in a mountain bunker.
There was a major calamity (war) a few thousand years ago, the survivors going into pre-built bunkers to wait the fallout dissipating to safe levels. When it did, not everyone was keen on leaving their underground cities, of which there are a few. They have tech and industry but not on the Colonials level, although at one time they (the Terrans) did.
Enter Cheesy's alien space ship.
In actuality, it's a Terran ship that has been out there for a few thousand years, technologically on par (even a bit better) with the Colonials. It comes across those nasty Basestars and reduces them to pieces in seconds. Tensions run high, people freak out, cats and dogs live together sort of thing.
We can do some character sessions to get this started. I like the idea of new characters but would still like to involve the ones we have, since we have need of our Fleet. Fleetops/TerraOps/CylonOps will post for NPC ships and people, as usual. Alot of the story can be NPC, since it would be easier. Of course, having about a hundred more REAL people would take care of that, but for now, the Ops accounts can handle this.
Anyone wishing to post as any of the Ops accounts, PM me for the passwords and log-ins, although they should be posted with the NPC accounts thread.
If we take our time on this, the story will unfold very smoothly and almost write itself.
Kudos to you both Kona and Cheesy! Way to go my friends!

One more thing-although I have yet to post it, the last Cylon attack on Terra (say like 3 years ago in our timeline), some Cylons got left behind. They are hiding in the Orlan Forest (see Terra Maps I created)
So, we now have that to deal with. Just food for thought. Remember, not all Terrans love us Colonials because we brought the Cylons here, twice.
And yes, NO Cylon Legion. Cylon Empire, yes, Legion no. The only Legion we'll have here is the Colonial Fleet Legion, where Picon Beer is always 1 cubit a bottle and the Pyramid Machines are for Entertainment Only!

Kona, J, you've got it. Cylon Empire and Supreme Commander it is. As for the RP itself, well I personally may not have the time to get into it for a while, but I hope we all remember that Mike Jericho was still in a coma when the final battle happened over there, despite that last fun little post I made in the CC RP. ( nudges Kona) I guess someone could have wheeled him out of Galactica's sickbay and got him off-ship before she jumped away, but that is not for me to write. Anyway, I just had a couple of ideas and wished to share them with you in the hopes that they could help get the ball rolling with your new RP scenarios. If I should have time to join in anytime soon, allow me to explain something, since I would wish to have Jericho be a part of it. If you remember, during the coma, Mike Jericho was in that "Dream Sequence" with Skulbaka, and I was not able to finish it because of RL issues. Regardless, I want to tell you what our intention was for its end before Jericho finally woke up. Mike Jericho had always held Alexandra Skulbaka in the very highest regard. Not simply because she was a Cylon who loved life as a whole and was loyal to humans, but because in his eyes she had been the epitome of kindness and compassion, and those were the character attributes which he held nearest and dearest in his heart, even after years of blowing toasters all to hell. Consequently, this lead to his envisioning her as his personal "Avatar" for GOD, or a God. You see, when people have a revelation of sorts, or if they feel they have been touched by God, they often liken the one who helped them "awaken" to someone or something that meant a lot to them. This was the point and endgame of Jericho's coma. He was undergoing "Enlightenment", and after he woke up, he was going to try to bring peace to everyone. But that RP is long gone and dead now. However, I believe that it could have some fair effects and ramifications in this new storyline. That is if you agree with me and really want to go along with my little hair-brained ideas. Hell, if you really like my suggestions as much as it seems, we can pool them all together and write one hell of an epic story that could consume so much time and thought that noone would have an excuse to be bored for a year! Or something... Awwww, what do I know? I had a really long day at work, and I now have a couple drinks in me, so I could just be full of... Beer!

I like this Mike Jericho story idea and want you to run with it when you can. This has endless possibilities that fit into the overall idea for the RP. When you see the start of the story, you'll see what I mean.
Obviously with the closing of CC, this place is it to continue the story, an entirely new story with an entirely new saga and struggle.
This time around, it's not just the Cylons we (Colonials) have to contend with. Hopefully, the story will develop to the point that the Cylons pale in comparison to the new "threat'.
Your idea about aliens has merit, although it won't be little green men who are the "aliens".

uhhh.....space aliens?....you might not be seeing much of my character(s) around, you all just lost a writer...
(not to be mean or anything like that, I'm just saying that if you are really considering this path, I will not be joining in. Probably for the best)
PS: really, really not a big fan of this new direction....sorry and shit

Well P. The Apolyon direction is a separate story line. It is like picking up a new book that also has Colonials and Cylons in it.
Mike, I just saw this thread today. I do love your ideas. Jeff and I had been working up the Apolyon thing for a while but as you'll see, Apolyon is a "God of Gondawa" and that is something that is earned, like a great Roman, or Axis soldier would have - learning to be gods of the universe.
The allies, or in this case Colonials-Terran Alliance were team builders, work together when the chips are down.
Apolyon could be one man, the leadership, or all of the above. That is to be determined by the writers.
I say keep both story lines. One when we are feeling a little bit BSG, and the other when we need to stretch our legs in a different direction.
We are all good enough writers to handle both.
As for Gondawa itself, it is the realm of three books I've written, and in the process of writing, so I'm starting the RPG at the point it intersects with BSG.
Gondawa, aka "Beton" as known by the Colonials, is the home of the 13th tribe of Cylons who stayed instead of traveling to Earth. That is where Elea and her family are from. (Colonial Command RIP)

And there is no Imperious Leader but there is a Supreme Commander who is in charge of the Cylon Empire. His name is Justice. And he is not a human lover by any means! I think I just threw up in my mouth reading this....... Sorry Jeff, Im leaving your site......
*Originally had like 7 different versions of this post, and most all of them were copies of Discussions I had on the CC right before it killed itself with an overdose of stupid conflicts and lame situations....and I don't want to get into it again. So All Im going to say is I hope your stories work out and that you all find some peace of mind working on these stories. Even though they are a departure from the Galactica type stories that really wanted read when I joined the site. So, sorry guys it was fun while it lasted (kinda) and if any one bashes me or this post (or if Playtime or Justice or what ever he calls himself posts something retarded) I will personally fly out to your home and beat some ass Jay and Silent Bob Style.... (and if all take this serious you are really worse off than I thought) lol the last one would be Cheesy, since he's so busy MMFCL you know Im playing dawg.... OVER AND OUT

Ok, I guess I should've been on when Plex posted about not liking the direction we were going, or are going. When I mentioned aliens, I didn't mean ALIENS, as in Star Trek.
The "aliens" will turn out to be humans, but not from the planet (originally)
Think 13th tribe outcasts, sort of.
Geesh!
Now I gotta track Plex's ass down.
AND NO BASHING!!!!! Any posts I deem as such, I will remove. So keep it nice and funny, please.

Plex is entitled to his opinion about anything, but I question why we are not allowed to respond to his comments or receive an "ass beating".
That confuses me ... I'm just saying.

I wasn't saying to not respond, I was only saying no bashing him because of his opinion. Hope that clarifies it. Sorry, I was wearing the Supreme Dictator hat there by mistake. I now have the Court Jester hat on. I like the balls on the tip of the hat. As for the "Jay and Silent Bob" ass whipping: have you seen those two in action before: I would be more afraid of a staph infection that getting my ass whipped by either of those two. Besides, Plex was putting that out there in a comical fashion. (I hope. )

For those who see the universe in one dimension:
Every Proboards site I've ever been on let's admins/moderators create multiple categories (and multiple boards within those categories). If you're not on the same page as the people posting, simply ask for a separate board (like Firefly) and run a midget universe on that board.
Due to my nine month RL exile, I'm pretty much clueless on the CC/CMC timeline. When I toss my two cents in, it will likely be on a separate board that highlights "flashbacks", either pre-cylon holocaust or points within the New Colonial Era - all of which qualify as our past.
Starting December, I won't have much disposable RL time. What I will have will be devoted to a tag team effort on CC Limbo and CMC. It's easier for me to come up with an idea and team up with someone who knows the timeline than to play catch-up, so I might PM some of you for input.
[What the heck. How about a board called "Flashbacks"? Anybody interested?]
