I am really starting to get attached to that title... I didn't think I would like it, or that you guys would even like it... but now that I've read it a few times, it does have a ring... If anyone objects to this, or if anyone has any other suggestions, I would be willing to start a whole topic up on the name of the RPG... If not, exactly how does one change an item of this forum like that? I see no such button... is that a creator-only option? Either way, I think in order to get people interested as it is growing, we should definitely give it a real title. I like mine, but I might like yours better, so let's talk it through if we can.... I know Amy is heving some issues trying to get online often, but the rest of us can debate, and then let her in when she returns to hear her opinions... heck, by then, her opinions might sound better than ours did... Is the RPg title something that can be altered anytime, or have we set ourselves up for issues?

I like it, but I'm not overly sure if it fits into our RPG. So far your character is the only one submitted. I have no idea how much interaction there will be between humans and hara.
And I really don't have any ideas of this front yet.
Also my interweb problems have been fixed!

Well, I just figured it would be good because of the world view of wraeththu at that stage in the game... but then, I've also found that we as players are also focusing more on post-nuke (and post power/mutation formation) activities and story, too.... But I think the humans should and could be a vital portion of the story/game.... Plus, if we need more human players, that can be arranged when we DO get more players..... I can make a page for newbies to join on, and post info about being human as opposed to being har, and have everyone who joins either spend ever-so-much info about their inception, or else begin play as human.... ? I love this forum already. -will

I don't know what kind of "air" this RPG's gonna have, but... it could just be the "hara versus human" that doesn't really have the ring of, my personal opinion, what we're going to be trying to do here. Well, sort of, but... it's too blunt.
My personal opinion...
And it's the mods thing... yeah, my two cents...

I really like the Countdown at Ground Zero part. It could be taken multiple ways (some of them just my crazy views of things).
For example, the Countdown could mean how long humans have to exist; how long before hara achieve their peak; how long the experiment is going on; and then the other standard meaings that a nuclear attack happened.
Hara v. Humans doesn't really work, in my opinions, because their really is no competition. On average a hara will kill a human he goes up against. This is cannon, Wraeththu are superior to humanity on almost every level.
Maybe the title coul be Counddown at Ground Zero: the Change.
The Change could apply to the rise of Wraeththu; the mutations that are developing; the experimentation; the social theories; the military rising; etc. So many possibiltieis.
Just some of my opinions.

I think that might be what we were looking for... if the countdown part is the cool part... and I can understand these reasons... Although I can see how Hara v. Humans does not work well for the air of the RPG, it is basically the challenge being presented to most of the human side... Hara have a little danger to worry about, but not as much as humans do in this case. And... is Indra Casey? Who is Indra? Why must she hide? -will

Hi, Steph! I'm Will. Don't be scared of the wiki... you don't have to post there. Just msg, post, or email one of us the info for your character, and we will make a wiki page FOR you.... I am the one who made all the wiki layout stuff (it's easier than pie), so if you want, I will post it all for you...... Then, we just link the page to this RPG... That way everyone can see your info without it taking up a huge chunk of space on here... Carl, Amy, Casey and I are all members on that site, so any of us can do the job... I've just been there longer than everyone. But they are all pretty familiar with the wikis.... So, any more ideas on this new rendition of the name? -will (xido)

Personally, I feel that it doesn't capture everything. There is much more to the game then Inception, considering that some charcters start already har.
I think it should be Countdown to Ground Zero: the Change. Of course, the fact that I came up with that has nothing to do with it. ;D Its because of the ideas that the name conjures (at least in my head, anyway).

The implication it displays is that this is yet another inception in wraeththu history, after having already begun its rise to power, and now with the latest hazard-gone-awry, it is more about finding these new powers that hara now find growing in themselves. I'd have to think that would have been different from how hara had been working beforehand, operating on a sort of calm but high-resolution extrasensory and metabolic level, but still young and growing. Now, with this new challenge, lies a new birth. One where the hara of our city in particular, begin to become stronger still, incepting more and more into their tribes and finding more to ascension than just getting stronger. Plus, what if someone actually WANTS to rp the early days of wraeththu here in the City, before it got all stirred up with the nuclear activity, or before becoming har or remaining human (since we do offer that as a choice to begin play with...)? Inception was not really a physical term I was going for, it was more about the concept of what is happening to wraeththu kind at this moment in its history. Maybe something more ethereal like Countdown at Ground Zero : Rebirth? or Evolution? O.o?

I like the first part, but suggest: Countdown to Ground Zero: Chrysalis to Butterfly Since this chronicle takes place in the birth years of the Wraeththu it seems fitting. To Butterfly indicates for me the beauty that will emerge out of the hard times we will play in/through.
