User blog:Maslab/Against All Odds Stuff

Here I aim to set up a basic summary/FAQ for AAO in order to help people create their stuff without me jumping on them. Feel free to comment and tell me if I should add anything, or just ask a question.

1. What is Against All Odds?

There are a few summaries on this wikia, the primary one being in that link. Other than that, all I can really offer you is a list of stories that form the backbone of AAO:

2. What type of government/economic system is the UEG?

The closest term I can think of is a socialist democracy, in which officials are elected and represented, but the economy is Communist in nature. That is, everyone makes the same amount of money no matter what job they do. Basically. Feel free to help me flesh out that idea.

3. Can I create my own weapon/armor/whatever?

Yes. It's just best to clear it with me, first. If a weapon you want to create was made in, say, 2565, and the timeline has reached 2577, then readers may wonder "But they had X weapon, which would have been perfect for that situation! Why didn't they do that?"

Or what if a planet you create that's rich in uranium-238 be colonized in 2577 when a guy in 2580 just happens to say "We're going through a major uranium-238 shortage right now, and are thus short on nukes."

You can see how those situations might be problems, I hope.
