Democratic Worldbuilding / Planning New Game

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

yeah I mean it’s not like we’ve figured it out and we have one polite G type to handle.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How many polls do you think we have left before the proper FG starts?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

a ton. This is basically a forum game in and of itself, and will hopefully make how the following game should be handled apparent. If not, I have ideas, but it’s a long term thing. Worldbuilding is pretty fun on it’s own imo

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Nah I meant if the Gas giant went too close the F and combined K star solar winds would make it a cthonia world, and Yes while Hot jupiters exist they exist within a very thin line between being too close where their upper atmosphere is fine vs getting blasted away.

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

wondering if we should have a hot jupiter, would be a bit goofy. Maybe a cthonia world though, could be fun.

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

Yeah but for them even sending probes will be much more difficult since they would have to either increase the amount of protection for their electronics or launch them during a period of low activity of the red dwarf.

@Deathwake

Maybe a cthonia world though, could be fun.

I am fairly sure that these are very rare.

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

it’s the distant one so hopefully should let them do some closer by stuff, but yeah, long term probes in the outer solar system have issues

@aah31415

these are very rare.

I mean… this system isn’t normal. But yes, indeed.

[Cha (Waluigi)]

I believe that’s more cause we haven’t found one mostly due to also the fact gas giants have that desert they aren’t within

Also question death do we round these numbers up or do we count halves as dwarf planets?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

(Many) More polls!!! So many.

Edit: if a catagory says closed, it’s closed. If it doesn’t, please vote!
Additional tiebreaker rounds for our planet:
Edit 2: everything is finally done. Will make you guys a spreadsheet or something and then post some votes on our moon. Hopefully fun helpful things and not 50 polls at once. I shall consult the worldbuilding tomes (a few YouTubers and my most topical GURPS books).

Gas giant size

• Larger than Neptune (maybe a bit small)
• Saturn sized, if not denser
• Super Jupiter Sized (maybe a bad thing if it’s on an elliptical orbit, I don’t care though)

Gravity

• 0.5 Gs
• 0.8 Gs
• 0.9 Gs

For our planet (CLOSED)

Rings on the gas giant

• No
• Little
• Big

How big is the gas giant?

• Neptune sized (that’s small as heck)
• Larger
• Saturn sized, maybe a bit denser (totally works)
• Jupiter sized (reccomended)
• Super-Jupiter sized (cool)

edit: larger is between neptune and saturn, sorry for ambiguity.

Other major moons, we get dozens of minor moons

• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8

how many Gs of gravity does our moon have

• <0.25 (more like a normal moon, ours has 0.16, maybe not too habitable)
• 0.3
• 0.4
• 0.5
• 0.6
• 0.7
• 0.8
• 0.9
• 1.0 (high)
• 1.1 (high)
• 1.2 (high)
• 1.3 (unlikely)
• 1.4 (unlikely)
• 1.5 (unlikely, decent chance at a water world)

Select a range, or the extremes, or everything except what you don’t want.

Inner system planet one of two (CLOSED)

• Mercury-like little guy.
• Mercury-like large guy (near earth size).
• Large burnt rock (I’d call it a Vulcan-like, super earth size)
• Extreme Venus-like
• Super Extreme Venus-like (large)
• Extremely Hot Jupiter
• Hot Neptune
• Chthonian World (possibly orbiting only one of the two star)
• Lava World (Io-like with heavy sun and more mass, possibly orbiting only one of the two stars)
• Large Hot Pluto (binary world)

Why are there both Hot Jupiter and Chthonian as options? The specific location hasn’t been decided, it’s just the innermost planet.

Inner system planet two of two (CLOSED)

• Mercury-like little guy.
• Toasty Mars-like.
• Overcooked Earth-like.
• Hycean planet (possibly get panspermia’d, definitely if there’s an alien starship)
• Large cooked rock (I’d call it a Vulcan-like, super earth size)
• Overcooked Super Earth (like previous, with more atmosphere)
• Venus-like.
• Super Venus-like (large)
• Hot Jupiter (starting here, rings can form so this includes Hot Saturns, apparently they have weird shapes this close so that’s fun)
• Hot Neptune
• Large Toasty Pluto (binary world)

Outer system planet one of six

• Dead rock (small atmosphereless).
• Mars-like
• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Chilly Earth-like.
• Chilly Super Earth (nice atmosphere)
• Jupiter-like
• Warm Neptune-like (more of a tiny gas giant that migrated inwards)
• Large Pluto (binary world)

Outer system planet two of six

Outer system planet three of six (CLOSED)

• Dead rock (small atmosphereless).
• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Chilly Earth-like.
• Chilly Sub-Neptune (Replaces super earth because something of that mass can now hold a lot of ices/frozen atmosphere i think)
• Jupiter-like
• Neptune-like
• Large Pluto (binary world)

Outer system planet four of six (CLOSED)

• Dead rock (small atmosphereless).
• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Chilly Earth-like.

• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Ice World small
• Ice World large
• Chilly Sub-Neptune
• Cold Jupiter-like
• Neptune-like
• Large Pluto (binary world)
• Titan-like (unlikely due to many stars’ solar winds, will need magnetosphere)

Outer system planet six of six

• Dead rock (small atmosphereless).
• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Ice World small
• Ice World large
• Chilly Sub-Neptune
• Cold Jupiter-like

Red Dwarf's planet one of three

• Mercury-like little guy.
• Mercury-like large guy (near earth size).
• Large burnt rock (I’d call it a Vulcan-like, super earth size)
• Overcooked Earth-like.
• Overcooked Super Earth (nice atmosphere)
• Hycean planet (possibly get panspermia’d, definitely if there’s an alien starship)
• Venus-like
• Super Venus-like (large)
• Hot Jupiter
• Hot Saturn (separate from Jupiter because of how far away the presence of rings implies)
• Hot Neptune
• Chthonian World (striped more by solar wind than anything else)
• Lava World (dangerously close orbit)
• Large Hot Pluto (binary world)

specific location definitely hasn’t been chosen yet.

Red Dwarf's planet two of three (CLOSED)

• Dead rock (small atmosphereless).
• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Mars-like
• Earth-like.
• Super Earth (nice atmosphere)
• Jupiter-like
• Neptune-like
• Large Pluto (binary world)

Red Dwarf's planet three of three (CLOSED)

• Dead rock (small atmosphereless).
• Big Dead rock (earth-sized atmosphereless).
• Ice World small
• Ice World large
• Chilly Sub-Neptune
• Cold Jupiter-like
• Cold Saturn-like
• Neptune-like
• Large Pluto (binary world)

No Titan like, cause the Red Dwarf is even worse solar wind-wise.

edit for those of you who voted for more red dwarf planets, if i’d rounded correctly, you wouldve got one. I’m tired though, and it was close, and I think you can agree a lot of planets is a lot.
Carbon systems! if a system has more carbon than oxygen, we get carbon planets. This is extremely rare and has never been confirmed. Additionally it would be probably very bad if our moon had more carbon than oxygen, but we have three stars, we can mess around with it. Reminder: this is extremely rare, maybe just vote no. If vote goes yes, replace most dead rocks with carbon worlds and earth/venus-likes with crazy cool things with oceans of oil and tar, and liquid carbide volcanoes.

• No, we have normal systems like civilized people.
• Yes, a large chunk of the protoplanetary disk had tons of carbon (affects many rocky planets, not all)
• Yes, the Red Dwarfs planet’s are like that, but not the main duo’s (affects all rocky worlds)
• Yes, both are like this (EXTREMELY UNLIKELY)

Sooooo lots of polling (EXTREME). Apologies. Please vote in a lot of them, please try not to make too many planets the same thing, and after this we’ll vote in sequential order again.

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo God. Real Plant Enslaver, Ltd.)]

I have seen 2 time one of six outer system

that mean we have 7?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

oh heck thanks for spotting that. I’m a bit out of it

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder if later on we’ll have polls on naming these planets…

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

Either soon if we a have a lot of boring polls that have to go one after the other some time, or when our species start getting telescopes, or at least decent eyes and gods. edit: name ideas, have them. I might not.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

@Deathwake

or at least decent eyes and gods.

Gods? Are we going to vote on the pantheon aswell /s

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

I mean… I hope ? I like in depth worldbuilding. I don’t think we’re capable of every pantheon ever, I’m thinking something like skipping to the late middle ages, finding our important religions, future superpowers, who’s gonna invent steam power ect, and that might involve naming extremely historically significant pantheons (if you did this on earth you’d need a few greek/roman names), and at the very least a few current religions. (imagine naming a planet Jesus or like The Christened (not a god per se but neither is Saturn), or even worse, naming one after the tetragramaton)

Edit: Planet Jehovah with it’s amazing moons Charles Taze Russell, Joseph Franklin Rutherford, and Nathan Homer Knorr. (if you know JW and related lore giving Jehovah a gas giant and some of his follower’s moons orbiting said planet is funnier bc it’s ironic.)

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

What is a Chthonian world?

[Trappist-1e ("shot for the moon, and if you miss, you get on sun orbit lol")]

According to my (google) research is an gas giant that is so hot that their atmosphere is getting stripped away to space

[Cha (Waluigi)]

That’s correct, it’s what I’ve mentioned being blasted by the solar winds result in

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

How will the game work?
