        The plan was to make the majority of people oriental in appearance and
        mannerism, the mud is set on a colony established during the early
        expansion period. I figured that if there was a 'gold rush' to set up new
        colonies on other solar systems, there *will* be ethnic colonies. I
        wasn't going to give the characters any advantage, well, possibily less
        chance of being discreet if you're a minority. The thing is, I remember
        reading somewhere that the Chinese are possibily the most racist nation.
        :) To carry on that tradition, when I figure out the distribution of
        other human sub-species in the social ladder, I'll bias it chronically.
        
        For stat differences, I was intending on the stats depend pretty much on
        lifepath, though appearance is everything in social standing. A character
        who grew up in the slums would be more likely to have a good physique than
        someone who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
        
        As for other species... Could have fun with those. :) I've decided I
        won't force people to rpg but doing so would lead to rewards. Imagine
        aliens, the players will have a helluva hard time trying to act out one.
        Especially as I intend to go into quite some detail on the aliens (I hate
        it when aliens are really humans with a bucket on their heads and one
        trait exaggerated to stupid proportions, I suppose it works commercially).
        
        [Chris L:]
        [My mailer can't handle more replies to more than one person]
        
        While not directly associated, an idea I have been playing with
        (derived from Vance's Big Planet AFAIR) is a MUD where the player
        characters are a physically weak and ineffectual, unarmoured,
        generally unaggressive, prey species. Say roughly the equivalent of
        field mice. The surround them with large numbers of active,
        aggressive, massively more capable and aware, and very effective
        preditors. Reverse the game from "Me biggum honcho! Lookum size-um
        genitalia!" to one where circumspection, indirect manipulation, and
        appropriate use of minimal resources are key to survival. It would be
        interesting. I also doubt it would have more than 3 players.
        
        [My response]
        
        Sounds like Aliens, everyone love that film but very few people will want
        to be the Marines. It's too subtle and intellectually stimulating on your
        average mudder (which to me means: 13, acne ridden american; or penniless
        british student).
        
        This reminds me of one of the first games I designed but never programmed.
        It was on the lines of a board game called Ogre/GEV. The player controls
        one tank of 12 (company) with missions varying from hit and run to deep
        objective raids to scout duty, the main emphasis being on run, don't get
        detected, run, shoot, run, sacrifice a fellow tank, run, die.
        Unfortunately the C64 couldn't handle it and artificial intelligence
        wasn't a buzzword yet (for tanks and global ai).
        
        Anyway, the point is that I've always liked the idea of the player not
        being the centre of attraction. To be just one unit in a battlegroup, to
        attack the enemy singlehandedly would be foolish, my games tended to
        orientate around getting the CPU friendlies to act as sacrificial decoys.
        
        Hope that's not how the mud turns out. ;) (I'll have to employ lots of
        NPCs wearing red uniforms who'll get beamed down to the planet and die.)
