Great start! Welcome to the Mercurian Empire!
I'm impressed with the build quality there, looks very modern of course, you have the groundwork there for design skills. You're going to be in my time zone (finally another person for me and Roglar to play with at reasonable hours

)
As Roglar says, we mostly didn't start as a Role Playing player, we just build it up over time and create piece by piece a history, backstory, personality and character to interact with others through. This is accomplished mostly in forums or in spontaneous in game chat (via text) in character. Voice chat is reserved mostly for simply chatting and talking complete nonsense while we build and have fun as a community. You're in the right place for a group of close friends that will last for years ( I have been here for over 3 years now and have loved every second of it ! ).
I'll give you your vote once you've answered a few questions as I like your enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
These aren't trick questions and there's no wrong answer, we're not super harsh for judging answers don't worry!
- How would you go about settling a territory expansion dispute?
- Have you read and understood the liege vassal system?
- What other games do you play?
