Remember that this is going to be a roleplay server. You will need to make up a character sometime along the line.
It would make me not want to do it unless i had acess to vast quanitities of items, I despise greg tech making the macerator need diamonds, And like recipies
But i might just deal with it out of lack of better things to do
Just curious, What's the ratio of people who voted for/against Greg tech?

Exactly.
50/50 at the moment. On the topic of items, with the money you start off with you will be able to buy some essentials from a government run shop. Once things have got up and running, that shop will close and you will be forced to purchase items from player run shops.
Imo it should be you get a boost in your industry to start with,
The machine guy gets some cuircuits,
The tools guy gets yadayada you get it
like i'd get ONE solar panel and a batbox or something, Just an example, You can probably balance it more n' i can
If this requires a back story i can be my avatar, i just lack a skin of her, And if that's explicitly forbidden, I'll be dell conahager, The engineer from team fortress two

Well, server lore is not really fantasy based. It's kind of like a parallel universe. If you've ever played Fallout, think of that games world before the war.
So if you want to be your avatar, you might be compelled to mix in some genetic mutation or 'birth defect'. The TF2 engineer would be fine, though.

Well I definitely like the roleplay idea, I'll keep an eye on this - especially the economy part. I'm already playing on two severs though, so if I join my time will be limited. I'm probably going to decide based on configs, disabled items, etc.
On the topic of disabled items:
Canvas bags (dupe items, easily replaced by ender pouches)
Uncrafting table (dupes items)
Managers (can destroy the entire world due to a bug)
Chunkloading turtles (easy to make a mistake and send one loading chunks to infinity)
Minium stone and/or the entire EE mod (too many infinite item loops)
If you want mob drops to have any value at all, disable Soul Shards entirely. This includes coal, iron, gold.
There's a bunch of other things I would personally disable or change the values of for purposes of balance, but it's your server, I'm not going to dictate how to run it.

I have made what I think to be a pretty decent application form. Check it out in the OP if you're interested.

Not at all, just try to keep within the time period I eventually choose and keep it relative to your character.
For example, if you had a skin you really liked, but your character has brown eyes and your skin has blue eyes. Simply change the eye color in a skin editor of your choice and go!
Nah, those bags are cool. I never heard about a duplication bug with them.
If you want. There is some mess in the default configs.
Aw... I'm not good at all at writing RP... But i'll try.
Canvas bag: Never heard of that duplication bug. I always use them and never got problems with it.
Uncrafting table: Why remove it? it's useful. Never heard of a duplication bug here too.
Managers: They are the most useful machine of Redpower. I never got any bug with them. You must have did something wrong.
Chunkloading turtles: I don't used them much, so i don't know about bugs. Turtles are definitely OP (cheap crafts), but removing them or a peripheral would just be dumb. I hate disabling something, even if i dont use it, as having more in game content is the reason i play with FTB. I like knowing there is stuff existing, even if i dont use it.
EE3 : Yes, it's OP, but the mod is in-devloppement, so i suppose lots of balancing will be done. The minium stone is the only feature wich already exists, ald lots of stuff will come. I'm okay about having it disabled at start, then we'll enable it when the mod will be more balanced, with future updates.
Soul shards: A really cool mod. Don't disable it. The amount of kills to make a good spawner is so big that is is balanced anyways. And not building your trap correctly will get you killed. So i find it balanced. And mobs drops never had any value anyways.[DOUBLEPOST=1367144647][/DOUBLEPOST]
I made the Greg Poll for that. go check it.
I don't like the time period idea. All the different places in the server should have different RPs and so, different architectures, and eventually technologies. If we set a time period, we'll build almost evrything according to the time period, and evetually some older buildings, either ruined, or renovated, so they will add to the RP history of the server, but "future" builds will be impossible. And i want to build spaceships, futuristic cities, and a space station in a void mystage. So i think having diversity on the server is the most important.
