MP Campaign Saturday Evenings - North America (EST)

[Koplin]

Hi everyone!

As a brand new member of the forum and incredible newbie to PDS games, I might be a little out of my bounds here. But I wanted to see what type of response/reaction I would get to potentially putting together a multiplayer game on Saturday evenings of people in the Americas who are in the EST zone (or elsewhere if that time zone coincides with when you can play).

I tried searching for something similar, but the one I saw on here was for the UTC time zone, and I'm sure I could find at least 12 other people who would want to play around this time/day.

Of course this is all hypothetical as of right now, as I plan on getting a few days of this game under my belt before I start to venture off into the multiplayer world. But I am curious about how many people would be interested!

 

[VenetianPriest]

I would be interested. I'm already signed up for one of the Sunday UTC MP Campaigns, but I'd like to do a North American EST (EDT for now) too.

 

[patrikn]

I'm interested.

 

[znuzzo]

I'd be game.

 

[Right Big Toe]

I'm in, any details?

 

[Koplin]

No details yet, just want to get a feel for how many people would be interested. I would imagine not starting until a week or two after release, just so we can get familiar with it before we go into MP.

We could also draft some rules/regulations as we get closer to the release/get a few more people interested.

I saw that in the MP game VenetianPriest was talking about being a part of had some interesting regulations that everyone had to follow in game.

We could also look at discussing some of those ideas on discord to make the process a little more fluid?

Add me on steam so you can organize it through the StellarisMP group page http://steamcommunity.com/groups/StellarisMP

 

[Koplin]

Done. Guys feel free to add me on steam as well as. It appears that a large group of people have already put a ton of work into this concept, so let's piggy back if we can!

 

[LordEnglish]

I'm interested, haven't played multiplayer in paradox games before though.

I'm interested, haven't played multiplayer in paradox games before though.

Me neither! So clearly we will be allying up to start haha

 

[jaredstanko]

im interested, im looking for a large and well organized one.

at least 12 works for me, but 24 is a decent number. let me know if you need some help with formatting. i suggest you make a group on steam and get some sample races.

you dont have to do everything exactly like this if you dont want, but just allow me to post my sample race as an example.


Steam Nick: jaredstanko
Nation Name: Skathi League
FTL Type: hyperlane
Phenotype and Species: molluskoid 3
Homeworld Type: tundra
Homeworld name: Falayalara
Species Name: Skathi-Ha
Species adjective form: Skathi
Nation Ethos: Fanatic Materialist Xenophile
Species Traits:
- intelligent (2)
- Natural Sociologists (1)
- Weak (-1)
Government type: Science directorate
Current Leader Name: Feliqula
Ship Prefix: SSS(Skathi-Skiff-Ship)
Description (short):

often misunderstood at first glance, one must first understand the motives of the skathi to understand their true intentions.

descendants of a primitive amphibian race on a cold planet, the skathi rose to walk on land, use tools, and rise above the local fauna of their world. as a people, their prime directive is to understand. not using technology as a means to an end alone, they intend as they reach out into the stars, to befriend and learn from every alien whose path they cross.

beyond this desire for understanding, the Skathi peoples intend to bring order through peace and harmony to the galaxy. out of fear of some unseen threat, or parhaps as part of their nature itself. they seek to not only build the strongest federation they can, but also to harmonize their entire galaxy. they believe their grasp will be long and fair. will it? not a peaceful or controlling race on either end of the spectrum, they simply seek the greatest good for all, and will not necessarily shy a way from fights(and not necessarily always in the weaker parties favor). races who intend to subjugate weaker races are not necessarily in the cross-hairs of the Skathi League, however, those who wish to purge the galaxy of unique and valuable life, as well as those who fail to understand the bigger picture, must be stopped.

first and foremost in their technological quest is the study of those whom have not yet risen to the stars, seeking answers to such questions as why and how we are here.

(editors note: when it comes to the RP of my race, if it could be both materialist and spiritualist at the same time, i would have done so. keep that in mind if you encounter me. the skathi are a very enigmatic and zen species. they ARE however, at the end of the day, materialists first)

format is shamelessly stolen from the sunday MP game, but i dont think they would mind.




my steam name is jaredstanko. once we get 12 to 24 people together on steam or TS we can work out house rules and such, like map type, and making sure everyone has a good enough pc and a race in mind.

 

[marlek]

Yah there are large ones organized through the steam StellarisMP group page, Koplin which was your steam ID? and ill invite you to the MP group

 

[jaredstanko]

yeah but all of those games are full

 

[cletusallretus]

I'm interested

 

[quamija]

Im game. I'm in the MP group already. We should see about creating a page on the group or something to better organize the game.

 

[jaredstanko]

All the games are full so we should work on organizing an extra running concurrently for spill over players.

Side note, could someone officially invite me, i asked in chat a few times.

 

[DarkEquinox]

Im down also I still haven't been added to the group yet even though I joined one of the game sessions

 

[quamija]

jaredstanko just did

 

[quamija]

well, there seems to be a ton of interest in starting another mp game. I've wanted to join one, but all are pretty much filled. We have a bunch of people already here wanting to start one. Koplin mind if I help organize it?

 

[LastLeviathan]

The others are full, so you can count me in for joining you all as well.
