Vote up a Space Opera

[ericthered]

I am stealing this idea from a different forum and seeing if it works here:

Vote up a Space opera:
The idea behind this is to create a Space Opera that works well with gurps: in other words, It doesn't need too much conversion. However, there are lots of things to a setting besides just what rules are being used. I don't trust myself to make something truely generic (I think weird), so I will be asking the questions here, and the setting will be yours, with the charactaristics you decide.

At any given point there will be a number of questions open for voting. feel free to place votes on them, encourage people to vote your way, and suggest options that I really should have thought of (or are just that awesome).

In cases of ties and heavy feeling towards a direction, I will interpret the will of the forum.
