After careful consideration and in speaking with some interested parties, Fulda Gap is to remain open as an OCS sim for the forseeable future. With the abrupt closure of Nova Kierman (thanks for the heads up, Lucci!) the closure of FG would have left no openly public dedicated OCS regions, which is something I don't think is good for the brand, nor for those who have invested their money and time into playing with OCS. However, I have come to the conclusion that role play and a combat system which can be as fast and deadly as OCS don't really mix. I have been discussing several ideas with people as to what kind of activity would be both appealing to players and able to utilize the combat system and Fulda Gap itself. Some ideas which have been bandied about include things like scheduled group events, ladder play, 2 vs. 2 and 4 vs. 4 exhibition play (get your season front-row tickets today!) and generally activity to gather and focus people to play and have fun. Or in the event of exhibition play, maybe grab the popcorn and cheer on your friend's team as they get chewed up by a tank. So this week I have a request. Give us your ideas. Yes, I'm being democratic for a change. It's your big chance to get in your two cents and help morph the game play in Fulda into the kind you like playing. As usual,

is the email you want. Also, the Fulda Gap RP group channel is there if you want to discuss ideas with me or other players, of course. Oh, and if you drop into Fulda you may find you have unusual company that's curious about you - curious about hunting you down and killing you, that is. But, more on that later. :) |

Getting Started:
The first thing one should do is to read and agree to and understand the Cooperation Agreement which can be considered a non-binding contract between those who run Fulda Gap and the players, and between the players themselves:
Fulda Gap Cooperation Agreement You will need to be a member of the 'Fulda Gap RP' group, which is open to enrollment. Playing in Fulda Gap assumes your agreement to comply with the terms in the Fulda Gap Cooperation Agreement, and ignorance will not be considered an acceptable reason for violations. Wondering who's in the Gap at the moment? You can check that here: Fulda Gap Current Players It would also be helpful to have an idea of the history of the scenario in which everything is taking place, so one can better adjust their own characterization in an appropriate context:
The Road to Fulda Gap, 2009-2010
That should get you started in Fulda Gap. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact a Game Manager, who are listed on the Fulda Gap group charter.
'Somewhere out there, someone is asking, 'What if I'm a total asshat?' While we use the term 'non binding,' if an individual demonstrates a lack of willingness to abide by the Cooperation Agreement and spirit of the game and role playing in Fulda Gap, that individual can expect to be removed from the Fulda Gap group and therefore the region. If said individual decides to embark on finding new and creative ways to be disruptive, they can expect to be banned from the regions of Fulda Gap, The Omega Concern and Lummerland.
But, we know you're not that person, right?'
Have fun! :) |
