Discussion about BSG's roleplay.

[Irioth]

Alright, I'd like to apologize for my previous post. It was a bit over the edge. My bad.

I just see BSG as having two roles that aren't necessarily compatible. One, you are the survivors from the Colonies searching for a new home to settle. Two, you are the elite security force of the neutral IMG engaged in a war with the neighboring Outcasts.

I don't really see how that would work. I would imagine the Colonials' need for a new place to settle would take precedence over any kind of a war with a faction they had just met mere years earlier. Sure, after things are set up, such a situation could arise. But the Colonials have been on the run and fighting for years. I would imagine they would avoid any conflict that isn't absolutely necessary until they had a stable home. For this situation, I would think that a Zoner ID or something would work best. You'd be neutral to everyone (except the Cylons of course, and the Nomads and so on) while searching for a new place to settle.

Granted, I'm not an expert on your RP. Perhaps you've settled in Tau 44. If that's the case, then please explain.

After the whole settling down bit, being IMG security force, if you chose, is fine. It's always fun having someone to fight with close to Alpha. And it certainly makes cardi runs more interesting, which is also fine. I'd just like some sort of explanation as to how that situation arose. As it stands... I don't see how it works.
