Personally, I like red, blue, and coffee-stain themes the most. Of course, a well done green or orange theme is great as well. Really, as long as it isn't bland, I'm happy one way or another.
What are your general color preferences?

Hello, and welcome to the Makestation community! If you're like most casual forum visitors, you are probably looking for information about where to get started, the concept of the community, and more. If so, then this thread is for you! Of course, while we understand that a simple post cannot serve as a complete reference to everything there is to know about our community, we do hope that it will be a helpful overview to our guests and members alike. And as always, if you have any questions that aren't answered here, don't hesitate to ask it in our community questions board or drop one of the staff members a PM!
What We're About
If you're like me, you probably have been told you have way too many interests, and that you sometimes get a bit too obsessed with some of them. Here at Makestation, we believe there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That is precisely why we founded Makestation.

Ever since April of 2013, we have strived to create a community where members can freely share and discuss their interests and obsessions, as well as their latest projects, art, writing, designs, and more. So, whether you consider yourself an independent writer, musician, artist, graphics designer, or simply an avid forumer, we hope that you will check us out!

Develop your characters here! Feel free to place as much information as you'd like. Remember, "god-like" characters are less fun to play with, so to keep things interesting, be sure to list some strengths and weaknesses alike. Feel free to be as detailed as you'd like.
Besides that, common sense is pretty much all there is to it. Be as creative as you'd like!

The Moderns
The Moderns are those who live by the principles of constant discovery. They believe that there is no such thing as any principle becoming fully refined, but believe in the constant process of changing and improving through trial and error to improve human well being. They are very liberal and progressive, but often change too much and suffer considerably from goal displacement. Arguably, their constant polls and media attraction, as well as marketplace and betting brings some excitement into this group as well.
The moderns run regular polls that can make policy changes and their wiki is changed frequently. Anyone is welcome to create polls, but policy changes can be made with a 66% majority vote, and vetoed by the president if they are at 75% majority or less. Needless to say, this group is a bit restless at times.
Quote:FactSheet:
Core Problem in Humanity: Human greed
Solution: There is no final solution. Change will only bring us closer in the end.
End goal: To weed out human greed and to create a progressive, perfect, society.
Discovery: Heavily endorsed, almost to the point of endorsing conspiracy.

This is where official announcements will be posted and discussed. Of course individual threads will often be posted for announcements as well, but convenient discussion related to political matters can be conducted here.

The Great Rivalry - Ancients vs. Moderns
Makestation Roleplay divides participants into two political parties, diametrically opposed, but with equally challenging and pressing ideology and philosophy. (Technically, there's a third political party, but its existence is very mysterious and unknown. More on that will be revealed, or discovered, later. ) These two parties have very different explanations for various pressing issues, and of course there are many possible outcomes. However, the final results are determined by none other than popular vote, and polls will regularly be posted by various members in this board.
Of course these teams, doctrines, ideologies, and more will be revised over time. Each party will have a leader or set of leaders, and a constitution, as well as a private discussion board for its members. Of course these principles will be expanded upon over time, but for now, here are the underlying concepts.
The Setting
The moderns and the ancients have never really been able to get along. In the past, disagreements were heated and no organized representation existed. However, in recent times, people have come together to represent their ideologies. Of course, this representation was a slow developmental process, but the formation of two main political parties was the end result. The ancients and moderns, of course, agree on nothing but the fact that loyalty should be demanded from their members, or they could be voted out for poor representation.
Parties carry out various debates and missions, and of course poor representation of the party's code can cause members of those parties to be evicted. In the end, those most loyal to the party generally get promoted to leadership positions within the party. Those who aren't so loyal get kicked out of the party.
The Moderns
The moderns believe that ancient principles, while valuable, are outdated and no longer applicable to today's universe. The moderns have very liberal views in general, and favor complicated policies, overarching social programs, and of course, change. The moderns are seen as very liberal and progressive, and suffer from goal displacement, but are also considered to be more exciting and dramatic. The full fact sheet for the Moderns can be found here.
The Ancients
The ancients, by contrast, live by the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" rule. You may assume that this sounds boring, but the ancients feel that time is the best refining tool that society has in place to date, and that standards that have stood the test of time should not be allowed to change in the order of protecting society. Not surprisingly, the ancients also spend a great deal of time sorting through old material, and deciding what content belongs in the grand hall of fame. Admittance to the wall of fame is a difficult achievement to make, but once something is admitted, it is rarely removed. The full fact sheet for the Ancients can be found here.
