They already do exist under the Factions section.

Have you admins thought about adding private boards/chat areas for each faction? I know from the LoR that it can be really fun to have that feature. We want to do it, but I can't figure out how to make it private. I've tried multiple times to no avail.

On occasion, could different sides join up? I also think it would be cool if we added more factions as time goes on.

I have a suggestion:
Lore. In my opinion, what makes an RPG is the story. By this I mean, we need more of it. For example, and I don't mean to pick on our glorious leader of the Terran Empire, our faction has very little background to it. Yes there is the wonderful write-up of overall background, but everywhere else is seriously lacking IMO. Faction contests, Global story development, even our own builds. Put some story/lore in there! Sorry if I came off as rude, but I really want this to succeed and I think this would be a step in the right direction.

Also, I don't see why you locked the planet suggestion thread, first off that gave the advantage to the first members because they got to choose what at least one planet was like, while the newer members didn't or won't get to. Second, why stop the flow of planets? Is this some lame galaxy with just fifteen planets or what? And third, aren't you just going to choose the best ones? So why did you guys stop it?

I'd definitely like to see the energy and momentum around here kicked up. It's the beginning! It should be an exciting time! Instead, it's pretty quiet around here. Guess there's lots of contests going on outside SfK though.

Yea, I would actually like the GC to be put off till at least January, because besides all the other contests, I only have the worst half of my LEGOs with me until at least January if not till February.

I am totally against the whole planet restriction issue. I think it is way too limiting to allow for much fun. For example, if the planet I suggested is not chosen, as it might well not be, I won't have much motivation to join in, as my story is planned to be based around it. I think this needs some looking into, personally.

Sorry if I came off as rude, but I really want this to succeed and I think this would be a step in the right direction. -Drakk Drakk, We will be adding more and more lore as time goes on, but everything doesn't appear overnight. It will take some time and help from the Terran Empire members, but we will get it done eventually. Also, I don't see why you locked the planet suggestion thread, first off that gave the advantage to the first members because they got to choose what at least one planet was like, while the newer members didn't or won't get to. Second, why stop the flow of planets? Is this some lame galaxy with just fifteen planets or what? And third, aren't you just going to choose the best ones? So why did you guys stop it? Charley, Right now we're in progress of making the map and we are trying to keep the galaxy limited. We are planning on adding more planets in the future, but for now we are limiting it. I'd definitely like to see the energy and momentum around here kicked up. It's the beginning! It should be an exciting time! Instead, it's pretty quiet around here. Guess there's lots of contests going on outside SfK though. I love to see it more energetic too, but it's hard work keeping up with more than one LEGO RPGs. And since most of our members are from LoR or a EB RPG it's going to be hard to keep them building here. Yea, I would actually like the GC to be put off till at least January, because besides all the other contests, I only have the worst half of my LEGOs with me until at least January if not till February. We are starting the GC soon, So we can get our members building and not waiting around for the GC. The sooner we get this out we can get more members active and spreading their SfK builds through the LEGO Community. I am totally against the whole planet restriction issue. I think it is way too limiting to allow for much fun. For example, if the planet I suggested is not chosen, as it might well not be, I won't have much motivation to join in, as my story is planned to be based around it. I think this needs some looking into, personally. We will be adding most of the planets, but we don't want the galaxy getting to big. And if you read the Planet/Map thread we will be adding more planets when/if we break the Cage. I hope you all are happy with your answers. ~Sydiney~

Yeah, but it's for mapping reasons Charley. I'm not really sure why a map is so important in an interplanetary setting, but oh well.

Second, why stop the flow of planets? Is this some lame galaxy with just fifteen planets or what? And third, aren't you just going to choose the best ones? So why did you guys stop it? Hey, we want to be able to have a set list of canon planets. We have compiled the list and are working on turning them into a map. The list will be posted shortly. If you read the WIP thread, you'll know why we're only working with a few planets. And don't worry, we will be adding more later. The idea, though is to not have it where people are making up random planets left and right, we feel it's better to have certain, fleshed-out ones that people can visit and expand with MOCs. Also, having a constant flow of planets would make it really difficult to have a definite map, and to keep track of, review, approve, add, and edit the map. Also, Erathor of Iralis don't worry, your planet was chosen

BrickNinja Thanks, that's cool. I didn't mean to sound negative, BTW, I was just trying to help out the game.

I can see your POV, Erathor. If my 2 planets don't get chosen, all my plans are toast. I think the staff will probably emphasize those planets that have obvious ties to the storylines we've begun for our characters.

Hey mccoyed, don't worry, your planet got chosen. But on that note, ANNOUNCEMENT: In the future ( Yes, we will be adding more planets in the future), if your storyline depends on a certain planet and it does not get picked, please PM me or another FO, and we can work it out for ya. Also, everyone be sure to head over to the WIP planet and map thread to see an important fact about the setting of SfK.

Thanks. That is what I thought you meant but I hadn't seen anything "important". Now I see it.

Wait... I don't get it, can we get in the cage? If not how is SfK set inside it? Can we get out? Never mind, I asked this in the FAQ thread instead.
