Just a blurb about our new clan systems.
Each Clan should hold a competition about a new home system and planet. If you want to, you might have up to 3 home systems, one for each House, although that reduces your defensive bonus in some games. You can have everyone on one planet or on different planets.
All submissions from your members should be zipped up and sent to the RPG group ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]) for review, including the winning submission. Stuff not used as homeworld will be most likely implemented in other ways. All such implemented systems and planets will be RPG wise refered to as being found by the respective Clan, which might give you additional bonuses in future competitions. Thus, a lot of subs is good. Note for Tarentum - even if your situation is different, it would still be beneficial for you to design some systems :o)
Most likely, what you pick as home will be ok, that is if you stay within the very few guidelines Betja Jun sent out to the Consuls a few days ago. The main thing is that there won't be any civilisation in your new home above the tech level RL earth has right now.
If you have already designed your home system, that's cool. In this case, just send in the zip file.
Competitions should all be done by end of May so the basic systems manual can be set up by middle of June.

Curious... What about Clans that have systems slated to have more than 3 planets? Arcona's system is going to have 4~6, allowing room for growth, future storylines, and cultures to exist inside the system that aren't directly under Arconan rule but will be influenced by it. Also, what exactly are you looking for in designing a system? Should we be specific, or should the description be broad? Should it be in story form? :)
Hehe, Im curious, because Arcona ran a competition for submissions of planets, but members were told to keep the descriptions fairly short, and not worry about getting technical... So do you want technical info too?
Maybe this was all emailed out by Betja. shrug :P
No stories, just descriptions, the more detailed, the better.
It doesn't matter how many planets your home system will have, as long as the Houses aren't spread over more than 3 planets.
