DOMINIONS

Dominions allow Major Factions to claim entire hexes without direct competition from other factions.
  • At any point, a Major Faction may acquire an adjacent SWRP Chaos Map hex by completing a Dominion thread, posting to the Map Update thread, and receiving Staff approval.
  • A Dominion counts as a Player Vs Environment (PvE) thread.
  • A Dominion thread’s title must include the name or acronym of the Major Faction, and the name of a planet visible in the hex.
  • A Major Faction may begin and work toward any number of simultaneous Dominions. However, a Major Faction may only submit three completed Dominions every calendar month.
  • A Dominion may only be started on a hex adjacent to the Major Faction’s influence cloud.
  • A hex lost as the result of an invasion or rebellion defeat may not have a Dominion thread started on it by the defeated faction for 30 days after the announcement of the Invasion or Rebellion result.
INVOLVING OTHER FACTIONS
  • Other Major or Minor Factions may not interfere with a Dominion thread. They may participate as In-Character aid or opposition with the approval of the Faction Admins/Owner of the Major Faction undertaking the Dominion
REBELLIONS
  • The fourth PvE thread submitted by a Major Faction in a calendar month is vulnerable to Rebellions (see Rebellion Rules).
  • If two Major Factions submit completed Dominions for the same hex within 24 hours, and both are approved, a Rebellion (see Rebellion Rules) will begin in that hex.


VICTORY CONDITIONS

Once a Major Faction has posted a completed Dominion thread to the Map Update thread, an Admin will assign an RPJ to judge whether the thread meets the following criteria. The RPJ will sign the ‘Approval’ field in the Map Update template, or will contact the submitter if further work is needed.

  • STORY - Does the Dominion thread have a story (or group of stories) that makes sense and that comes to a reasonable conclusion?
  • REPRESENTATION - How well is the Faction represented in the Dominion thread? For example, if two members post the bulk of the thread back-to-back, the Dominion is unlikely to be approved without more work from other Faction members.
  • EFFORT - How much effort has the Faction put into the thread? As a general guideline, 50 average posts is an acceptable effort. A lower number of posts may be acceptable if clear effort has resulted in solid stories that reach a natural conclusion. Spammed posts with minimal effort will count against the Faction.

JUNCTIONS

Junction threads allow two or more Major Factions participating to gain a hex.

  • At any point, two or more Major Factions may acquire an adjacent SWRP Chaos Map hex each by completing a Junction thread, posting to the Map Update thread, and receiving Staff approval. These factions need not be adjacent on the map to create a Junction.
  • A Junction counts as a Player Vs Environment (PvE) thread.
  • A Junction thread’s title must include the name(s) or acronym(s) of the Major Factions involved as well as the hexes chosen.
  • Hexes chosen to be gained by completed Junction threads must be adjacent to the respective Major Faction(s)' influence cloud.
  • A hex lost as the result of an invasion or rebellion defeat may not be gained by a Junction thread for 30 days after the announcement of the Invasion or Rebellion result.



REBELLIONS
  • The fourth PvE thread submitted by a Major Faction in a calendar month is vulnerable to Rebellions (see Rebellion Rules).
  • All Major Factions present in the Junction may join the Rebellion that targets it.



VICTORY CONDITIONS

Once a Major Faction has posted a completed Junction thread to the Map Update thread, an Admin will assign an RPJ to judge whether the thread meets the following criteria. The RPJ will sign the ‘Approval’ field in the Map Update template, or will contact the submitter if further work is needed.

  • STORY - Does the Junction thread have a story (or group of stories) that makes sense and that comes to a reasonable conclusion?
  • REPRESENTATION - How well is the Faction represented in the Junction thread? Factions may be denied hexes for poor performance.
  • EFFORT - How much effort has the Faction put into the thread? As a general guideline, 50 average posts per faction is an acceptable effort. A lower number of posts may be acceptable if clear effort has resulted in solid stories that reach a natural conclusion. Spammed posts with minimal effort will count against the Faction.



Each faction must post their own application in the Map Update thread upon conclusion of their monthly Junction thread, ie one Junction thread can have two or more posts in the Map Update thread.
