Rimworld Alliance

Hahahaha, I love the not-so discrete sexual references! Very creative...

Sounds fun Tyhm.

*shrugs* Graals have rims. Ringworld and Fringeworld were taken. But it's a good point.

Yeah, the big problem would be the owners that are sure they don't need the other worlds, and that are certain the others are just weighing them down...
What if instead, all UC worlds were automatically allied, either right now or on their path to the Classic tab? Take 'em all out of hiding, link 'em all together, and the Rim would be where they do their final development: "I got an awesome game, I don't think I need anything more, so I join the Rim. As soon as I'm done debugging the multiplayer stuff I can go Classic...oh man, that bowling thing's pretty cool, I should put some sports like that on my server...of course, mine will be a million times better..."
Assuming that solves Ego, next complication: Ownership and Theft.
"Hey, I spent months developing Bowling, then this guy came along, used my templates, figured out how I scripted it, and totally stole it! Now his world has everything mine had and more, and I don't have anything he had!" We'd need the PWAs to crack down on theft and encourage public trading: "You can copy my bowling (in fact, here's the script) if I can copy your combat system". We wouldn't necessarily have a bunch of identical servers this way: while there would be a lot of overlap, each server owner would pick different aspects and different implementations they like best, and the server would most accurately depict their personal tastes. Further, all of these servers would have the most developed scripts instead of having pale imitations of each other: see also when Kingdoms, G2K1, Classic and a few PWs all had different versions of Tetris that broke in different ways (because nobody was cooperating, and thus each world was doing more work and wasting more time than was necessary).

I'll grant that I've taken for granted the assumption that Things are worth trying on Graal. It might not be valid, it might be rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, but if we all accept that there's no sense in trying to do anything on Graal then there's no sense in being here.



? Okay, so you're making PerfectServeria and don't need any of our help. But you would be interested in this (Rimworld?) and would invest your money (in server-hosting?)
Regardless, you cut an iconic figure: you would, as a server owner confident in his server's individual might, be interested in linking with neighboring worlds. For their benefit rather than yours, I take it? In particular, how do you see your own server/players benefitting, or is it mere altruism/charity that drives you?

Obviously I do need help; if I didn't, it would be classic this very moment.

The server I have in my head is heavily based on a different genre of sparring PKing. Blending the old with the new. I mean sure we would have quests, jobs, etc, but the main focus would be the whole idea of being Numero Uno.

With that being said, if I were to merge with a few playerworlds that have a different view for there world, we could cover all the bases.
A home run is just imminent after that.
