Dibs on running this one. There will be so many wars. So many.

Look, I don't care how we do it, we just need to come up with a plan that leads to us profiting off of our corrupt manipulation of others. We can start fake wars and hire ourselves to fight in them or whatever, just so long as we're getting us some fight on.

ANOTHER IDEA: An assassin's guild? We have a few mole characters try to infiltrate the higher reaches of different factions, then, whenever somebody pays us for a target, our mole helps an agent infiltrate that person's security and kill him all sneaky hidey like. The agent gets the infamy for the kill, so the mole's cover remains secure.

You mow... right now you guys ARE looking at just two of the 8 possible factions. Police and Mercenaries.

as much as i love the idea of actually being able to arrest players in a MMO... There ain't much in the way that would prevent us from, maybe making a Terrorist cell of miners that kill people, with a mercenary to point us to the bounties... i mean, who is going to suspect a bunch of miners, right?

Jagos · 02-04-2011, 07:04 PM

Guys, it takes numbers. I mean seriously...

We want to control 5 of the 8 factions. So we'll need a number of things. Recruiters on the low levels to keep the proles content, diplomatic immunity from police factions and a LOT of bribery. Seriously, think big people. BIG.

Bells · 02-04-2011, 07:38 PM

BY THE WAY =)

the game is a 1gb Download. relatively tame for today's standard and it's not high end by any means... so i suggest y'all to give it a spin.

Pip Boy · 02-04-2011, 08:26 PM

Is it possible to have private sub-groups of a faction that would be more like a guild is for most games?

EDIT: I have begun my download. Have not yet set up an account. I'll talk to some people once I get it up and running to see if we can arrange some kind of in-game havoc and nonsense.

EDIT AGAIN: If we're going to make a cooperative effort, it seems the best thing to do would be to split our group into three separate, but interactive groups. Military, Economy, and Diplomacy. Diplomacy focuses on our relations with other groups and factions, Economy does what it can to bring in the big monies, and Military does any muscle work necessary to go after the goals of the other two. Can't get any more specific yet since I haven't experience the game firsthand. More soon.

... DARN YOU PEOPLE! *goes to start download...*

Those who like the social gaming should take a look at the Economic aspects, i Like short fun bursts of gameplay so i'm totally going to be a police officer.

This day marks the birth of the Nuklear Cell. Good or Bad? let history decide

Pip Boy · 02-04-2011, 09:47 PM

I don't like Nuklear Cell. Could we maybe get a vote on a small list of names?

We may be a totalitarian dictatorship, but democracy still has its place.

So far our general composition seems to be...

Military
Pip
Bells

Diplomacy
Geminex (assuming he was serious about that post)

Economics

C'mon guys, its going to take more than 3 people to cause massive socioeconomic upheaval.

~~EDIT: My client installer seems to be having some issues with finalization. The bar is at 99.99 percent and stuck at...~~

Fixed it. Starting it up now. I'll probably be hopping back onto here every 10 minutes or so to update with comments on the game. Stay tuned, folks!

UPDATE 1: I have decided to go with a military man. In order to make myself easy for others to identify, I have chosen the name Pippin Boyd.

UPDATE 2: Man, they really beat you over the head with the premium subscription stuff. Makes sense on a free MMO, but still very annoying.

UPDATE 3: HOLY SHIT THESE PEOPLE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. Upon joining the game, I was addressed by a player named JohnSt in my faction. His job in the faction is to train new recruits. He seems to take this very seriously. He literally ran around for an hour showing me different places and factions and rules and showed me the ropes, as he does with every new player because it is his job. Just a suggestion to anyone looking to play together: Its one character per person, very strict, so the only way to play together is if we're all on the same faction. I joined the FDC, (the military one) and according to my trainer, they're the only ones that get so personally involved in training their new players.

UDATE 4: Shot my a commanding officer (nonlethally) as punishment for breaking the FDC's "No Dancing" rule. This is grounds for a coup.

I will assist in the taking over of the world.

Also, is this a "free but have to pay for certain bullshit" type of free?
