Description:

I'm looking for 11 Peacekeepers. If you have a talent (Prowler Pilot,
Weapon System, Tactician, mind probing) please give it with your
character. You do NOT have to be Sebaceans, but no one is an officer yet.
Everyone must prove his or her worth. This gives new or old PBEM players a
chance to get in on the ground floor

This PBEM is a little different then anything you could ever imagine.
It requires a special player with a quick mind and attention to details.
You aren't going to get bogged down with writing out whole stories.
You might not even want to attain rank.
The object of this game is to survive as long as you can. If you get
noticed you will rise through the ranks. There is also treachery amongst
the crew and your newly acquired rank might be your undoing.
But if you have to die, go down swinging and die with honor.
This is more of a Paranoia meets Toon. There are going to be 5 GMs
rotating on and off through out the game. We have just completed our trail
runs and fixed most of the problems and even increased the speed of the
game with the use of instant messengers and chat rooms. E-mail still
remains to major port of call. The time has come for our small little
group expands to a larger playing field.
Even if you don't feel too Peacekeeper-like, you will still want to check
this out. The game if more for thinking warriors, instead of brutish ones.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I will answer any and
all questions to the best of my knowledge or I will find the answer
someplace else.

The game is extremely fast paced (something some players will find over
whelming and confusing) and there will be a lot of things happening
including 1 on 1 fight and ship-to-ship battles.

So buckle your seat belt and make sure you seat tray is in its upright
position. Because you are in for the ride of your life

Pre-game Start: as soon as you e-mail me. This is to get your acquainted
with the game and help players flush out their characters.
Game start date: 10-31-01
Late Comers will be delayed until the story allows for crew additions.
You do not want to miss the opening of this game because it's going to
shock and amaze you. You'll hit the ground running and sometimes the only
way to find out the truth in things is to get yourself kill.
It's going to be deadly. Surviving is your Prime Directive, but it wont be
easy.
