Hi, and welcome to the grand opening of Constellations!
New characters are welcome at any time. Anyone who joins in the next two weeks will be given 100 credits and get first pick of the claims!
On the 24th (date subject to revision), the opening plot thread will be started. This will be the thread in which we roleplay the teenagers' accidental journey from their homes into deep space (see the plot thread). From now until that thread is over, threads set as part of that storyline - people in their hometown with their families or at school a few days before the ill-fated school trip, side-plots as part of the school trip or people absconding and exploring the ship while the others are accidentally piloting it into deep space - will be welcome.
The thread itself will cover the teenagers' school trip, accidental teleportation onto the ship, and usage of new technology which propels them far into deep space. After that thread is over, anyone can feel free to create threads set in Constellations' main storyline, the story of these kids on this spaceship in this situation, and should also feel free to get creative - you could post threads about the parents' reaction to their kids being gone, about the characters' horrified reactions to finding themselves stranded in deep space, or about enterprising young geeks trying to fix the engines.
Anyone is free to create a character at any time, and they can immediately jump into the plot, assuming they were there all along.
I'd also like to prompt some discussion about where you'd all like this site to go. Any member can respond to this thread, offering their suggestions about any or all of the following questions:
We have a credits system on Constellations which is used to trade for art / posting tables and as prizes for competitions. Is there anything else you think it should be used for or would like to be able to buy with it? (We're open to creating plugins and allowing such things as coloured member names or zombie apocalypse games).
The first few staff members are going to be picked over the next few weeks. Would you like to nominate anyone? What skills could you potentially offer?
What do you think of the site's layout and skin?
Would you like to contribute to the encyclopaedia, and invent some of the information for this sci fi universe?
Thank you very much, and I hope you have fun!
