Some basic but important information
The breeding protocol was always there as a contingency plan, in case any sort of disastrous event should reduce the human population aboard the colony ship to numbers below expected viable biological diversity through free choice of partner. Even with the colony ship intact and arriving at it's intended destination there was a protocol in place by which each adult man and woman were required to produce at least two children, a third and fourth child giving the parents a financial bonus for each additional child.

The contingency plan however was a little different, firstly in that it required all males and females over the age of 15 to breed at least three children without any promise of a bonus for a fourth or fifth. The children should preferably all be conceived within no more than a year of each other.

Choice of partner for each child was a free choice but also subject to strict regulations:

1. No couple already having produced a child were allowed to produce another until they had filled the mandated quota of at least three more children.

2. If a coupled male and female did not conceive a child within 6 months they were to be assigned new breeding partners.

3. Due to lesser probability of women over forty falling pregnant they were to choose younger males with more viable sperm to breed with and vice versa, younger females with a greater probability of falling pregnant were to choose older males with less viable sperm to breed with.

4. No colonist, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, were allowed to refuse breeding. Punishment for refusing to breed or secretly using any sort of contraceptive was banishment from the colony or be forced to breed without their consent. This applied to both males and females.
the only contraceptives allowed would be condoms or diaphragms to allow husbands and wives to still enjoy sex without risking pregnancy if they already have a child between them. All other methods such as birth control pills or implants, injections and whatever else of a more permanent nature would be illegal.
  • No one should feel that they need to write non-con to fully enjoy our group.
  • Non-con scenes should be labeled as such in the thread name so those wanting to avoid, not read them have a warning.

Anyone under 25 then.
I may need to reimagine Mia's origin with the Drake's but that is no big deal, I'm sure we can come up with something.
Also: Because it has come up in conversation what is everyone's position on images and player name in the post headers?
I like small images or links to character photos, it helps me put personalities with posts. I find the player name is kind of redundant since our avatars are right there. I felt what we used in the last game was a little more balanced but I'm open to whatever. How are phone users with it like @Aluora ?
 
Wow. This rp is moving fast. I have a wonderful day of work until 10 pm. I'll see what I can do today.
 
But in all seriousness, can there at LEAST be proper cast-making materials in this batch of medical supplies our characters will eventually find so the poor girl doesn't walk around with a limp after she heals?
 
Theo is a vet and so would know how to make a cast. I was planning on him giving Caitlin a visit when I have time to write again. He might wind up being the closet thing to a doctor they have.
 
Haha, unintentional puns FTW.

The pun being? I don't get it.

Here's a question: where are the robots? You know, "Danger Will Robinson"?

No robots this time around unless everyone wants one per Jupiter? I'm sure they can come in handy with building the colony. My preference would be nothing overly advanced. None of us wants a HAL situation do we?

But can they chop down trees? (See my post on a previous page mentioning the 'original pioneers')

This is a HARDCORE colony expedition... use what you can find on site. We decided to leave all useful tech behind to delay the advent of Cylons! LOL

Hey @MsBloom/ @LeaT if we're not tagging anyone new into a thread do we have to include 'Tagging' in our headers?

Here is a format from our last round of the game, updated for this group. I suggest with each post (easy copy paste most of the time). It helps make sure you get a response and your partner(s) see(s) it.

Who: Teri Mercer
Where: Mercer Jupiter
Relevant: @LeaT as Mia
When: Day 3 Late Afternoon

I realize people will forget sometimes, we aren't going to be the header police but I think it is courteous to the other players to help keep things on track. With luck we will have lots of scenes and lots of interconnected stories, this will help in the long run.

I don't see why they wouldn't have HAL-like bots on board. I vote yes.
If you google Boston Dynamics, each jupiter would have something at about that level of sophistication.

It is still useful to alert the player that the post is specifically for their attention.

I just realised that I forgot to include that in the suggested header: Location. In some cases it might be obvious because of the title of the thread like Exploring the Ruins or Into the Woods but for other threads perhaps a location might need to be included.

I don't see why they wouldn't have HAL-like bots on board.

Mostly because I prefer not to include paranoid AIs into our story. But like Lea said:

BTW: If anyone would like to be spied on by (or to spill gossip in front of) Cara's miniature drone, please let me know! :D
