I think the most important rules to have are(imo):
Those are the ones that I would personally like to see added(I pulled them from /r/totalwar). I think those would allow us to discuss the many joys of anything TW while still at the same time keeping a sort of 'respect each other' vibe in the sub.
As for the cross posting. If people are okay with it, I would basically just pull what is possible to pull over to here and I would source the information so that the OC gets credit when credit is due. I work 3rd shift in the US so I would mostly be pulling the stuff over during the night so that it would be here for people in the morning(of course...I was just seeing what people thought of the idea, ANYONE could pull something over if they wanted). I don't see how I could really pull a question someone would have over to here...but pictures, videos, articles and discussions(I would start the discussion here while citing where I got the idea) I could pull over.
Congrats and welcome /user/Strigiformes :D
Lastly - I, personally, don't think you need to apologize for having a life outside of voat :) especially with a mod or two in place to manage the ship :) Here is quote I like about life happening: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" - John Lennon

"I would like to try to keep our discussions more original than a carbon copy of the subreddit"
I agree, however...the issue is we simply do not have a large enough community atm to really even carry a discussion :/. The other site has 37,589 subs and BARELY has daily pics posted, discussions over there don't happen often even with 37k subs.
Look at the posts we have already and how many comment/upvoat compared to how many are subbed. I can limit my personal x-posting to just images and articles...but that will result(imo from what I have seen the last 2 weeks here) in little to no discussion.
The more content and items that interest people, the more will come and comment in exchange. The less content there is for people to comment about, the less people will come here and comment. Most people won't create or post OC. It is a small group of people that do make OC and post things(even on /r/totalwar). The silent majority is real and most people just want things to up/downvoat and to comment on(discussions).
I won't be posting discussions if people don't want them, but I worry about actually conversations happening here since majority won't OP a discussion.
EDIT: So, just to give an example of what I mean by silent majority...take the top commented post of all time over at /r/totalwar. It has 1371 comments(with an actual less amount of unique people commenting, many people commented multiple times). Even if each comment was a unique person that is only 2.2% of the 37,589 subs there. That is the TOP commented on post over there AND it was a giveaway post for free R2 copies. The silent majority will always exist but you need stuff for them to actually take part in or they will check here a couple times, see nothing really new(or click on the few new pictures) and leave. After a while of doing that and not really seeing anything here...they won't keep coming back.

Great post! Thanks again for bringing me onboard. I'll be finishing up a few drafts of the channel banner first and running them by Rawb, then making the post about the giveaway. Looking forward to seeing this place grow as well, and I'm always happy adding people on Steam and gaming/discussing Total War.
Also, thank you for your work on that meta post, Yuzzem!

I would like to see the verse rival the one at the other place. It is the main reason. I ever went there. I'll do my part and try to get some content on here

Awesome. thank you! Any concerns you had rule-wise?
