BACKGROUND: In 2076 AD, despite or maybe because of growing turmoil and disease, Earth sent its first colony ship into space. The internationally crewed colony ship went the planet Delta C Minor. The crew of several thousand went into stasis on the 56 year journey.
The ship landed, the Delta C colony was established and against the odds on the wild Earth-like planet, it thrived. Now almost 50 years later, the Delta C colony has set up its first vessel capable of traveling back to the planet it left and establishing contact.
PLAY: You are a member of the crew that will return to Earth, make contact and discover why it has never sent a follow up mission.
STYLE: Action, sci-fi. Keep it in the realm of semi-serious storytelling. Sorry, no anime character ports.
START DATE: 21NOV08
Anybody?

So, one character per person, no super-powers, realistic tech for the established period (ie, no lightsabers)... hmm.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

I would be interested, but I don't have the time.

I think a Fallout STGOD would be better 
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Sounds fun. I'm in.

Yeah, is it stgod or rpg?
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
