It is the year 3090; the Jihad is over, but peace has not returned to the Inner Sphere. Twenty years of total war have left the nations of the Sphere in ruins, even as Word of Black 'werewolf' units continue to strike from hidden base worlds.
At Geneva, the Allies sit in council and debate the fate of the Word of Blake Protectorate; some covet the worlds of their occupation zones, while others seek to supplant Devlin Stone's vision for a Republic of the Sphere with their own political philosophy.
Without a visible enemy to unite against, and without Devlin Stone's leadership, the truce between the allies has begun to fray. All that remains to ignite a new cycle of war and devastation is a flashpoint...
Barring any last minute delays, Flashpoint 3090 will be lanching February 1st 2010. At this time, players may begin registering for their factions. Faction leaders have all been placed except for Clan Wolf (which remains open) and are listed below.
Capellan Confederation and Magistracy of Canopus: Valjean
Clan Hell's Horses: Tassa Kay
Clan Jade Falcon: LittleH13
Clan Wolf: Aleksandr
Clan Wolf-in-Exile: Noe Vag Atoll
Draconis Combine: Hugin
Federated Suns: ICChan
Grand Duchy of Oriente-Andurien: Chaosxtreme
Lyran Commonwealth: GreyJaeger
Marik-Tamarind Commonwealth: DisGruntled
Rasalhague Dominion: Open
Raven Alliance: Fatebringer
Regulan League: General Stoner
Taurian Concordat: Baldur Mekorig

Just as a note... I may be taking a break from running a faction for a while so check with Dave or myself if anyone is interested in taking over the Falcons. I have already built them but I am sure that Dave would let you change anything you don't like.

Umm, no?
I hope there is a leader for them and you will be back soon.. I am sure I dont want to do anything rules like. ;)
Quick update, guys. The Rasalhague Dominion is open if anyone wants to lead that faction.

I have calmed down significantly since my departure from the NNG (not named game). Now I am ready to play. Yes Marlin this means that you will not have to do any rules stuff :P
-Josh
YAY! :D
I think no game is worth the trouble. The people behind it may be worth it sometimes.
(Sponsored by Marlin's aphorisms of the month. :P)

Chaos, welcome aboard :)
It has just come to my attention that the faction leader position for Oriente-Andurien has opened up, so if you want to take the plunge with that one let me know and I'll help you get up to speed. On the other hand, if you don't want to have to handle faction leader duties, I'll happily approve you for Marik-Tamarind (in which case, DisGruntled will be your point of contact).
I'd love to be Oriente-Andurien faction head!
Let me see
Yes Hunter Humphreys-Halas.
Has a certain ring to it.

Eeeeexcellent. I will send you a PM with the information neccessary to create your faction "build" so you'll be able to jump right in for turn two. In the meanwhile, read up on the short history, faction issues, and then wade right into the debates about counter-insurgency and taxation in the WOB occupation zones. Especially on the taxation issue, you might well have the deciding vote :)

Sorry, Eric, I was sidetracked for the last couple days. You are approved for the Jade Falcons. Touch base with LittleH13 and Marlin and they can get you up to speed.
Coolio. The savior cometh. ;)

Daemon, you are approved for the LC. You may be interested to know however that the Draconis Combine currently does not have a player so if you are interested in trying something different please let me know.
If you decide to run with the LC, please contact GreyJaeger and he will get you up to speed :)
i'll take the DC if you need someone to run it. :) rules seem kinda cool. Are the VIP rules still in dev? or did i miss a link to them?
can we run 2 different Factions, like in FGC, or no?

I will forward you the DC orders tonight.
VIP rules aren't in yet, I've run into a couple of game balance issues I'm trying to tease out before they go live, but I will try to get them up ASAP.
Right now, each player is only able to run one faction... but there are fewer factions in this campaign too so that factors in.

I think we can hook you up with Ras Dom. I need to process the Turn 4 orders tonight, and once that is done I will kick the RD sheet over to you (I assume the email in your profile is the place to send it?)
That E-mail addy is good, thanks.
Hey Dave, in looking over my post about running factions, i realize i made a mistake. what i meant to ask was wether we were only allowed to have a presence in a single Faction? Could i have a role in another faction(like being a Clan Galaxy Commander, or a Lyran Grand Duke)?
1. Scarecrow
2. NA
3.
1. Raven Alliance
2. Taurus Concordat
3. *scratches head* Draconis Combine
Time is sparse for the next two week, but afterwards I should have time to partiscipate.
Any info on Scarecrow joining the RA? :) We'd be happy to have him.
Hey guys, which factions still need a leader?

I believe Regulus, Clan Jade Falcon, and Capellan Confederation & Magistracy of Canopus (the last two count as a single faction) are all open.
Can i run the Capellan Empire/Magistry of Canopus?
And why do they get run by the same person, are they being merged into a single empire or something??
Sun Tzu Liao marries Naomi Centrella (now Centrella-Liao) during the Jihad and effectively merge the ruling dynasties.
Signing up as the Faction head for the Regulans
Prince Titus Cameron-Jones...it's been some time since we last were graced with your presence.
Welcome to Flashpoint Leadership, may you serve your people well.
1.) Hobbles
2.) N/A
3.) a.) Federated Suns
b.) Clan Jade Falcon
c.) Meh, whoever needs an extra hand on deck.
oooh, an FS player? that would be nice to see.
hey Fate, hurry up and approve him so I've got someone for the DC to 'play' with :P
I've had a talk with Hobbles and he will start this turn as the 2nd Chair for the Federated Suns while he learns the system with plans to move into the head chair when he is ready.
Welcome to the FP3090 game.
With players picking up a second faction. The following factions have faction heads.
Pink Knight: C/MC
Parmenion: CHH & MTC
Daemonknight: DC & CJF
Fatebringer: RA & CWiE
Scarecrow: REG
Chaosxtreme: OA & RD
Mekorig: TC
The above factions are listed in order player preference. Any secondary faction on the above list is still up available for players to pick up.
The GMs are still holding: SHAFT (GM Only) as well as CW/FS/LC
1) swang
2) swang30 (I think)
3) Is Hobble doing FS? If so, I'd like LC and get beat on. otherwise, I'll take FS and get beat on slightly less.
As of right now, Hobbles is MIA(unless fatebringer heard from him).
LC and FS are both currently GM-run factions, and we'd be happy to pass either of them along to you. Or both, if you think you can handle 2 factions. Currently, the FS is embroiled in a small war against the Dracs and Capellans, although the Raven Alliance is assisting them with their Dragon problem. The FS is having some major public support issues, so they're quite challenging to do much with at the moment, as a warning. I can say that as both the Head GM and the DC player, the hostilities are not expected to last much longer, so don't think you're walking into the 5th Succession War.
I'll go for FS first. One step at a time. If it makes sense, I can take the Lyrans later.
cool, shoot me a PM with your email, and i'll get you the order sheet and a quick run down of whats been cookin in Davion country. Make sure you download a copy of the main rulebook, it has everything you'll need to run the game, and if you have any questions, Fatebringer is our resident numbers-crunching GM, I'm the head GM, and Dave Baughman is the forum Administrator and also the author for the Flashpoint rules: if one of the three of us can't answer it, your looking at the wrong rulebook :)
