How much?

Xaxl 30 Nov 2010 19:59

Basically, is there any idea how much stuff should be allowed to be made per person? Obviously this is relevant to me; while I'm not inclined to dump every idea I've ever had into this, I do have a lot of material. But it could also come up for other people. Several guys from AE had multiple factions too.

Since this is a wiki rather than a thread, the issue of clutter must be looked at in a different light. There's no "spamming the thread" with stuff. Everything is self-contained on the pages its been put up on.

Is there a preference, a "house rule" if you will, to limit the number of fully-fledged factions one can make? Or does it not matter in this medium?

At this stage of the project, we're establishing what will end up being the superpowers later on, those factions who quickly got over the troubles brought by the Enlightenment and spread around the stars. Minor 1-system or even 100 system factions are effectively free game, but expect them to be absorbed into some sphere of influence or another eventually. You're also free to write up nations within existing Spheres, a hybrid civilisation between locals and human colonists 5000 ly from Earth, for example. I'd rather if people didn't make more than one outright Sphere (Ie, the Terran Sphere, the Tys Sphere, etc.).

I see. So, currently any faction uploaded should be fairly sizable and have a well-defined role for the setting. Later on smaller, more niche factions may be added. "Mega-nations" are one per-participant and may include a good number of micro-factions.

Am I understanding this right?

Yes.
