Beyond Earth is a spin off game of the famous Civilization series. In the future, the Earth is doomed. Rampart war, disease, pollution, and lack of resources have lead the leaders of 8 powerful factions to come to the same conclusion: Humanity must leave Earth to survive. Sadly however, not all can come along on the journey, and many will be left behind. Several promising planets have been selected, the ships built, the rockets fueled, the lucky few chosen.
The fate of humanity is in our hands. Humanity will conquer the unknown, or our story will end.
What is this:
This is a lets play of a Civ style game. However, instead of watching me play, the community will take the roles of the colonists and decide our future. You can be anything from a general and a mayor, to a lowly foot solider or storekeeper. Every one gets a vote and a voice, and although some players will be in more powerful positions I want every one to have a say.
All positions expect overall leader are open (that's my job!). If you can think of it, you can play it.
Some roles will control pieces of the game, while others will help flesh out our lore and write our story with their journals, blogs, and papers!
We're all in this together, let's not die!
Now, the first thing to do will be !signup in the role you want, and then !vote on who we are playing and what we are bringing with us on this incredible journey.
And now, to decide our nation....

History
Avuncular, genial, affable, affecting an air of bonhomie, Samatar Jama Barre wished to be addressed as Kubwa Mjomba (“great uncle” in Swahili) by those he both commanded and protected. Despite his seeming benevolence and absent-minded demeanor, he was nonetheless an efficient and effective administrator, an able diplomat, and ruthless when necessary. Barre was amused and likely pleased when detractors likened him to the traditional African village chieftains of the past, claiming him to be a throwback and out-of-step with the new world in the wake of the Great Mistake. But the Peoples’ African Union made a wise choice when he was selected as one of their colony governors.
Early Life
Rising from the poverty and violence of the inundated streets of Hargeisa, Samatar joined the African Union’s resurgent military forces, eventually rising to the rank of Major. For three decades he served in a variety of increasingly important posts, military and civilian, rising steadily in both ability and influence. He was able to overcome lingering tribal tensions, dealing with the polyglot cultures of Africa with both reverence and common sense. Barre displayed those same diplomatic skills when negotiating with those outside the African Union, and brought to culmination several international agreements that helped propel the Union’s colonization effort before he was selected to command one of those colonies.
The Great Uncle
Barre proved to be just as efficient against any perceived threat to the well-being and safety of those under his protection. In dealing with nascent warlords, religious fanatics, and local dictators, he either brought about an equitable peace, or bludgeoned them into submission. Although never known as a military genius, his troops were extremely loyal to their “great uncle” and fought with abandon for his approval. Samatar Barre never lost a battle, although he took no credit for his victories and viewed them as lamentable necessities.
Verdict of History
Though not religious himself, he was tolerant and accepting of others' religious traditions. In the end, it was this tolerance, coupled with his intellect and personality that would shape the African Union’s colony on the new planet.
