Star Wars Community - In-Character [SWCIC]

Server Downtime

Sorry for the downtime, the site was being DDoS. The server seems to be running normally again

New Era-s

Given the delays with the on-going scenarios, we have decided to whip up some changes...

- All groups will join the new galactic governement, the New Rebublica who's goal is galaxy domination and gathering flurry blunnies
- The new Emperor will be Maskan, who will now be known as Darth Fishy
- His apprentice will be Jaron Park, who will now be known as Darth Jar Jar
- All races will be superceded by Gungans, who have a +2 flappyness bonus
- Every person who recruits 5 people will gain 1 Ewok minion: servents to do your binding with 100,000 HP
- The Force is superceded by the Schwartz and be granted only to users with Schwartz Chance feat
- The next on-going scenario will be The Quest for the Holy Grail, all Knights of the Round Table will be welcome

Darker, the coming storm grows.

The Holonet is alive! Help add to our universe by contributing to our IC wiki. Remember this is strictly In-Character information... please read the disclaimer before editing. Like the forums, it is monitored by our moderators so expect XP and other rewards.

Also, you'll notice all those active players on our IC boards got a Chinese New Year bonus. (Yes it was kind-of late New Years bonus, but our Mastergroup leaders have been quite busy)

After more than 5 years, a simple tribute to Charon - the guy who started things from his own faith in the players. In better words than I can say...

More news to come...

Do something nice for the New Year!

You can do something nice for the holiday. And its free too.. no money required.

Donate your idle computer cycles to science. Stanford's Folding@Home project uses your computer to help simulate protein folding.

Every good community has a team. So join our SW:Rebellion Network Folding Team - team# 96904
You can install it no matter what operating system (Windows / Linux / even PS3...). Just install a client and let it go.

Start of changes...

As you can tell, we're rolling out some changes for the New Year

First is a spiffy new IC Site design. I know you guys were tired of the white, I was too... esp with the dark contrast of the OOC site. I really like this new theme with the transparencies, but we need to make it StarWars-y now!

Want to help us out for the new year? I have some image requests and I'm thinking about a better reward system too. (Not that you guys don't like XP... of course you do, but we want to try and add some other ideas)

Next is the unvailing of our integrated rules wiki - called TheWord - yes I know, not the best name in the world, but it should be the first place to go to for updates. I want to get all the Saga stuff we want to implement here. Progress will be more transparent as the wiki is updated (you'll see it directly on the front-page without me having to modify it all the time).

Currently trying to get the rest of our site links on TheWord and move over content. Once that is done, we'll tweak and expand the wiki. Next will be an actual in-game wiki... in-character actions and history :)

Good time to review stuff like our Terms of Service and Code of Conduct. Really nothing has changed, respect each other and the people who run this site and we'll be fine.

Finally, if you know any cool Star Wars people, point them our way! We won't grow unless you help out. More updates as we work things out.

Season's greeetings

We'd like to wish merry christmas to all those of our members, that celebrate it and a happy new year !
In case you don't, then just enjoy the holidays and the rich food ;)

2008 will bring a slew of fresh things to our game, like the switch to the new saga engine, that we are working on right now, even as you read this.
Btw, Evaders is on vacation. So, if you need anything admin-wise, make sure to contact me instead.

From the Moderation Team

On September 1st, 2007, each MG has submitted their final assets list and they became official. Since we have that behind us, we can now start doing scenarios of all sorts. Each MG HQ has a scenario request thread. Anybody can request a scenario of any sort except Defection, which will be explain below.
Our moderation team consists of Zayri Cresh and Ceden Darklo, who act as Moderator Lead. Erwin Kliest is a Senior Moderator and Joshua Baer a Junior Moderator. They will work on any scenarios, that are assigned to them. If they are your moderators, you may ask them any questions about the scenarios. However, defection scenarios require you to contact the appropriate team member. The Defection Moderator for the Galactic Empire will be Zayri Cresh. The Rebel Alliance and The Syndicate have Ceden Darklo. You may PM them, if you are considering defection, but I suggest you read the Defection FAQ first.

On a related note, the Saga Test will be starting on October 1st. If you are interested in either space combat, ground combat, or both, please check the IC forum and look up Saga OOC. The sign up is there as well. This will allow people to see, what we can do with Saga.

-May the Force be with you.

New Leadership, New Policies

With the return of Revan Centurion to the throne of the Galactic Empire, a number of organizational policies have been put into place to help spur activity amongst Imperials. Streamlined recruit processing procedures, increased roleplaying opportunities, and long overdue recognition for many are only some of the things presently being addressed by the Galactic Empire.

For any inquiries regarding the Galactic Empire, please visit this thread and follow the posted instructions: http://www.swcic.net/forums/postt571.html

Be on the look out for more OOC Imperial Updates in the near future.

Thanks to Rox Manedeen, he'll be on the patrol for more news.

A Case of Multiple (personalities?)

You guys may not think we check... but we do! Multiple characters are not allowed, period.

All duplicate characters have been killed and the connection has been banned. It is not fair to those players who follow the rules and want a fair place to play.

Besides, if you have enough time to really invest in making a number of crummy characters, you have enough time to invest in making one good character. Interact with others- and be pro-active. Don't expect that people will give you something to do.

(And we know you're asking for more news.. hint is Saga Edition, you should check it out)

What would you do for the Empire?

5 years, 4 days ago (according to the ING galactic time http://ge.swcic.net ), Charon, I, and many others decided for a new start. Why? To preserve and promote a community that we had worked so hard for. We had a lot of energy and excitement about this project, even to release early with the name and the site to spur things forward. The game has grown to not just the Empire, but other groups as well. But Empire itself has not seen good days.

Revan Centurion and many others have tried to keep things going. He has recently resigned, and I appreciate all his work.

Now is a good time to bring all our resources to the table. The Empire is and should be an active part of the game. Its health as a group is a concern to all of us. Without an Empire, there is no Rebellion. There is no active players to play against, thus no game.

.... Continued here: it is open for all players to contribute, join the discussion!
