| Welcome to the Hiketsu Nexus Gundam RPG |
| The Hiketsu Nexus Gundam RPG is a Gundam based gaming system designed around strategy and creative thinking. We have automated the more mundane aspects so that you can get to the more important stuff, being an active role player. The more active you are in the game the more fun everyone has, so we encourage you to role play as much as possible. The environment has been set up to be as free as possible so that you can do pretty much whatever you want in the game. This allows you to really express your role playing abilities. |

 | How to get started! | | Posted on Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 20:37 by Strike Noir | Welcome to Hiketsunexus Gundam! We hope you enjoy your stay, and keep active with us! Just a few things for you to help you get started. These should help you navigate your way around.
Please, read the Rules. These will get you get familiar with the basic rules of the forum, and how to play the game.
Next, if you haven't already, read the World We Live In. This explains the current world situation at the start of the game. After that, read up on the Storyline Progression. This will tell you how far we have made it since the start of the game.
After that you should be about ready to go Make a Character. This is the template you will use for it. Fill it out in full, and post it in a new topic.
Once you have all that finished, go RP! The General RP is here. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | Reinstated/Modified - 24 Hour Rule | | Posted on Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 15:25 by Strike Noir | Back in the day, there was a rule. If you did not post within 72 hours, you forfeit your turn to post. Seeing as things are moving much slower than I would like, I am modifying, and bringing back this rule. The more active you are, the more you will have to do with how things play out. This will be in great effect for the next while, as to get things moving faster. As things begin moving, this may relax a bit, and possibly change to 48 hours.
So, post within 24 hours, or your turn becomes forfeit. If a staff is unable to post within those time constraints, another staff will take over if need be. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | Upcoming Site Changes | | Posted on Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 21:25 by Strike Noir | I'm currently working on an upgarde to the site. This upgrade will include changing the forum. This change has important implications for all users.
The most important of these is that no user accounts can be transfered. However, I have taken extra effort to make sure that we can transfer characters, so the progress you've made so far will not be lost..
When the new forum is put in place it will be obvious. It will come with a radical change of the way the site looks. At this time, you will have to register for a new account. This is expected, further details will be provided when the upgrade has been completed. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | Clearification on NPCs | | Posted on Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 18:52 by Strike Noir | As a rule, NPCs (non-playable characters) are only used by staff. Staff being Storytellers, Referees, and Admins. This is so that you and your character do not put yourself in a position out of the bounds of the game.
An example of this is Player Bob wanting to go into space. In order to do so, Bob must go to a shuttle site, and go from there. With the help of NPCs, Bob can simply board a flight into space without issues. No, Bob is NOT allowed into space. So Bob will have to go to the station, and talk to someone about going. Said someone would be a nice attendant or clerk, who will be done by a ST, Ref, or Admin. Said member of staff will then interact with the player, and nicely tell them they cannot go into space.
This applies also so people are not RPing solely by themselves. No, they may not have other characters, but there will be another human in the mix.
Exceptions to this include:
First RP posts. Not all the time can you just spawn with people. Understandable. You cannot use NPCs as someone to kill to get somewhere, or give you something however. You NPC can't be a soldier you fight and steal his weapon from. You spawn a soldier to fight, it becomes a battle, and a Ref takes over for the soldier. And you go from there. I can only be so lenient with this however. Do not go too far.
History/flashbacks. These you can do as you wish. These do not effect your character at all, and you may do battle however you wish in them.
If it is approved by a member of Staff before hand. If we say, yes you may spawn a sister and do x y z things with them, then it is fine. Just remember the NPC rule is in place to limit what players are getting, to keep game balance as much as possible. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | Hiketsunexus Gundam RPG V5 is GO! | | Posted on Tue, Feb 02, 2010 at 23:02 by Strike Noir | Sorry for the very long wait guys, but here it is! Hiketsu Gundam V5 has launched! While it might not look like much right now, the Staff have developed a rather in depth story for this version, and have worked long and hard to work out all of the kinks and flaws in the story. So lets make sure we get Active, Stay active, and watch the story elevate and develop. I assure you, it is nothing like we have had here before.
So post your new characters up using the new template. Wait until it is accepted after that. By the time it gets accepted, there will be an RP for you all to join into.
With the Restart, you will notice that your character sheets, and the Inventory has been reset (or will be depending on when you read this post). Feel free to set your character up however you want to. Choose your Class, skills, stats, etc etc. Just remember to think before you do. I will not be resetting anyone who made a mistake because they hit one button or another without realizing it. Just slow down, think it through a bit, and you will get exactly what you want. There will also not be any Mobile Suits, or equipment in the inventory anymore. Mobile Suits and all equipment will appear there, as they appear in the game.
Another important events of note.
Cha0s, our Site Head Administrator will be stepping back from the game. He will be around for technical support when he is needed. Please do NOT PM him with questions and problems. PM myself, or post in the Support section, and it will be tended to.
Swift, is getting a Promotion to Storyteller Administrator. He will be helping direct and guide the story along the right path.
Bahumat, is getting a Promotion to Referee. He will not be available to Ref battles for a while however, until Referee training is complete. (It's not nearly as easy as you think!) It has been a long standing goal to have a Referee in that time zone, and we are certainly happy to have one now. (Bahumat is in Australia, +10GMT, this contrasts to myself in Canada with -5GMT timezone.)
Enjoy guys! | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | RP Restart | | Posted on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 18:00 by Strike Noir | After a year and almost a half of running, the Staff have decided that We are going to do a restart on the RP. We will not simply be saying, start over from scratch again however. The new Version 5, or V5 for short, will feature a vastly different story than seen before, and will incorporate a more story driven game play. This will contrast to the more, free roam game play we currently have. Feel free to challenge each other to battles and practice while we finish creating the new world, and working out all the bugs. We thank-you for RPing, and for your patience while we do this.
In the meanwhile, feel free to comment away. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | Back! | | Posted on Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 16:59 by Strike Noir | | I have returned from my job over the summer. This means I will be getting caught up, and be more active as of now. I apoligise for the inconvience this has caused. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | New Staff | | Posted on Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 19:28 by Strike Noir | I would like to announce that I am stepping down as the Head Administrator. There are far too many things comming up in my own life right now. As I cannot fully operate the game like this, I have appointed others who are able to do so. I am however staying on the Staff as the Head Storyteller, to make sure everything is transitioned nice and smoothly.
The Changes in positions will happen as follows. You can find a list of these positions here.
The new Head Administrator will be Cha0s. Cire Kebord will be on helping him as the Co-Head Administrator. They will be overseeing the game. They are both Staff from previous versions of the game (this is v4.5, officially, in case anyone did not know), and are very qualified to take these positions.
Cire Kebord will also be acting as the Customs Administrator.
And again, I will be on as the Head Storyteller.
If you are wondering what this means to the game, not much actually. Everything on your part will still be played the same. The only differences will be in that there are a couple more staff members, so we will be able to focus a little more on certain aspects of the game, without leaving holes in other aspects. It should stay the same, if not get better for you. | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | Merry Christmas! | | Posted on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 07:34 by Strike Noir | | Merry Christas everyone! If you aren't Christian and don't celebrate Christmas, Happy whichever holiday you celebrate (sorry, I'd have to google all the other holidays, and I'm lazy. :P) ! | | __________________________________________________________________ |  | RP Restart is GO! | | Posted on Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 21:02 by Strike Noir | After a failed attempt at a new forum, we have switched back, and have done the long awaited game restart. I have put up some very basic details for the story and current state of afairs. Please keep in mind that the dynamics WILL CHANGE! I have things already set out to be added into game, and I am simply waiting until the game starts off to add them in. Feel free to submit weapons and Suits to the inventory as well. They may very well be seen soon.
Now, with all that said, start your RP where you want to be, doing what you want to do (of cource, within reason).
If you were in charge of an Org in the last version (pre-restart) PM myself if you wish to keep it. If you have not PM'd me within one week (as of this post) you lose your chance for your own org, and it goes to someone else. Also, Organizations will be changed to Teams. They will function however you wish them to, just the name will change for Story purposes. | | __________________________________________________________________ |
