Alliances
Wouldn't it make sense for the Aliens to already have alliances with one another? CourageousLife (talk) 20:36, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yes. I'll be posting a Galactic Council page within the next few days. In the meantime, go on some talk pages and round up some private alliances! CrimsonAssassin (talk) 21:50, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

EFFING hell. Why do I only find out about this via the wikiactivity thing? Does nobody think I'd be interested? Does no one care? *sobs quietly in corner*

Also, may I be the science officer? The Royal Guns (talk) 00:44, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Are you good with pointing out what's plausible in a sci-fi work? CrimsonAssassin (talk) 17:54, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

I am... ;) PitaKang- (We are the Emperor's Finest | [[Special:Contributions/PitaKang|Ave Imperator!]) 20:19, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Well, then I'll acede to Pita.

Out of curiosity, why has Dean (and it was Dean, according to wikiactivity) put himself on as the plausibility checker?

Umm...

The Royal Guns (talk) 21:06, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Wait, so do you want to be sci officer? (Pita)

Yeah. PitaKang- (We are the Emperor's Finest | Ave Imperator!) 21:22, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Fanfic
Anyone interested in anything like this?

Ave Imperator!

PitaKang- (We are the Emperor's Chosen | Ave Imperator!) 22:57, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Mind if I do a similar thing (about a Centrian soldier?)              "Very funny, Scotty.   Now beam down my clothes."  00:25, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

I've thought about doing some narratives on this myself. I will be making a lore page (working on that now, actually)

Name of the game
Does any one else feel this is a bit like AvA, crossed with BFE? Somewhat like Pride and Predjudice and Zombies, only here it's Axis versus Allies and Aliens.

hehe.

            "Very funny, Scotty.   Now beam down my clothes."  00:35, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Start of the game
Wait, so basically, as the nations of Earth gear up for war, the numerous alien races of the galaxy decide to unite to ensure that they do not emerge into the galactic neighborhood as warlike as they currently are. But when they get there, so change their minds.

... but at the start of the game they're all working- albeit tacitly- together, under a single, central command.

I presume this doesn't apply to the Imperium of Man? Seeing as they are an alternate version of those selfsame humans...

Also, what's the name of this unified command?

One: No, we are not united. We are just doing our thing and the main powers [Dravimos, Regen, Terran, Azar, Mech (even if they're not playing, they are at the core of every BFE game)] are monitoring Earth.

Also, I think the Imperium should not exist as it will cause a paradox. The Imperium already knows what's going to happen and any and all changes will interfere with the future, leading to one of two things: Essentially, this cycle will continue infinitely, causing the largest paradox known to history.
 * 1) The Imperium does not form, ensuring that they do not come back in time, thus changing anything that happens in the game.
 * 2) The Imperium does not come back in time, resulting in the same aftershocks.

As such, I think Pita should create something other than the Imperium.

Hmm... good point. I'll change it to a different dimension where totally different stuff happened. PitaKang- (We are the Emperor's Chosen | Ave Imperator!) 01:52, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hold on, hold on. If this is based on the 40k Imperium, I can tell you (as a longtime contributor on the 40k fanon wiki), that the Imperium cannot know what will happen since all history before its creation (including that after) is a total mystery. Thus so, Pita's Imperium can exist since no matter what they will never know what happened in the past (so sayth the almighty book of God).

When do we...
Start? Ave Imperator! PitaKang- (We are the Emperor's Chosen | Ave Imperator!) 01:54, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

I feel like...
...Earth doesn't stand a chance. Seriously, what's WW2 era fighters gonna do to this?

Except for the total annihilation at the ending. (Btw, these videos inspired the game, lol.)

Or, we could demote the xenos. Like Worldwar, the Harry Turtledove series. Let them have advanced technology, but not much improved from earth's. CourageousLife (talk) 01:31, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

No, no! I think we should just have it split down the middle- some aliens protect Earth, others destroy it.

If not, I say we go BFE-TF-esque.
