There have been complaints that characters use too many historical analogies from the 20th century on Earth.
Well, of course. And yes, that is unrealistic. But look at it from our point of view: On Rubi-Ka in the 293rd (did I get that right), there are about 300,000 years of human history. A player who is a hard-core history fan knows the first roughly seven thousand years of that, and nothing more recent than that.
So yeah, if we could have a rough outline of history from 2000 CE to 293000 CE, that'd make it easier for us to tell stories and argue events in character. If you haven't thought that far ahead, fine -- give us the following two things:
- The biggest event in recent history that everybody alive cares about, because they were a big deal for everyone and have ongoing effects. (In our time, that'd be, oh, World War II. In theres, maybe the Omega? I've seen that time referred to, but never explained.)
- An outline of the major, affects everybody events of the current characters' lifetimes, including whatever this generation uses for its "defining moment." (Like VE day for the WWII generation, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Kennedy assassination for the silent generation, Woodstock for the boomers, the Challenger explosion for Gen X, and so on.)
If nothing else, if you don't want us comparing our political opponents in-game to the Nazis -- and yes, by 293000 CE, that should sound silly -- then tell us what villains people in your game world DO accuse each other of being like, and what they did that was so awful.
I mean, we don't need to have an encyclopedic, battle-by-battle, election-by-election, invention-after-invention history of the whole 290k+ years. But it would help to have a common referent for how people in this future talk about historical events.
