Those are all good ideas.

@Schmitt, I suppose if that were the case then we would have to lower our ranks from fleet admiral to something else. Maybe vice admiral, part of one of the canon admirals' fleets.

Exactly, they'd still be Fleet Admirals in the game mechanic, but within the RP section they'd be Vice Admirals. That sounds workable to me.

All the ideas sound fine to me too.
But if you do need more time to discuss it, no problem.

Do you want me to open the RP section now, or later?
Or even if you want 2 RP sections for 2 different eras, just tell me

Well, I have an idea for how this could be:

Under a Roleplay section, we could have one section called "The Story", where the roleplaying threads can be posted, one called "Characters", for character sheets, and one called "Story OOC" for discussions about possible plot threads and questions and whatnot.

As for the plot, I would suggest starting it in an early time period of the Alliance-Imperial War. For example, in the late 600s or early 700s UC. Then it could be an AU of the LOGH universe, where for our characters we can use the same family name but different given names, and say that they are ancestors of our in-game characters.

That's OK with me, but I'm not sure everyone agree to set the story in an early time period...

In that case, lets wait for the others to say what they think.

Let's try to summarize the last talks:

Von Radetz suggested that the RP story should be set before the main events of the series.
Von Ryder likes this idea.
Schmitt seemed to prefer to set the story during the main events.

I hope you'll find something that will motivate everyone

I'm alright with anything, really! I initially thought it would be easiest and most straightforward if the RP paralleled the activities in the game, but I saw the problems that come with that (different canon Fleet Admirals, etc). In short: let's go with setting it in the past and RPing our in-game characters' predecessors.

Apologies for taking so long to respond, I reckon the summer slump had hit me..!

No problem, I'm familiar with that too

Great, so we can try to start something.
I'm not sure if the summer time will affect this attempt in a good or bad way, but let's try, we'll see!
(I know that Von Ryder will head for a sunny place very soon)

So if there are no more suggestions I'll do that this week-end:

Done!

As we'll play our KC characters ancestors, "Kosmosinsel Chronicles > roleplay" would have made sense.
I chose "LOGH roleplay" because I thought it would be more appealing to newcomers (it can be renamed at any time).

One or two candidates for moderation?
I imagine it will be quiet (at the beginning at least), so I don't think that moderation will take you much time.
