Fun times. I'm in the IRC, you dirty Reb. We can discuss how much you suck.

This is gold to read. I dig your IC. I feel like joining but I fear I will drown in the complicatedness and required activity. Maybe I can finally integrate the Netherlands into Belg- ... What are you looking at?

Well if you play Belgium and don't have a lot of time for activity you can probably get away with just a post for every update. You wouldn't be playing a major power.

Roran Hawkins said integrate the Netherlands into Belgium

Other way around.

@Roran, having a Belgium OR a Netherlands would be fun. Like was said above me, you could probably get away with one or two posts between each update if you don't go dragging yourself into a war...

If you're on and free, you should head to the IRC...

Cant find the link to the IRC sadly

Also in the OP

Alright, got some news:

First of all, stats have been streamlined and revised. Check the first page to see them. The previous stats for Romania and Siam were clearly on a different format, so I can only assume that emmy1320 and Heyitsjiwon never read them. Check them this time. Currency is now some sort of gold-standard thing. Just roll with it. Italy/Austria, I suggest you reduce the price of Venice to ~£5,000, as the current price is now probably enough to purchase a continent. I just need to edit some things with the update and we will be good to go. I'd say it will be soon, but I said that last time and look how that turned out.

Second, some bad news. I'm afraid that recruitment is now closed. Sweden will be the last nation accepted. If you signed up after, you are now on a waiting list should anyone drop out. Sorry, but I already have over 20 nations to deal with, if I was smart I would have capped it at 15 or so.

Third, I apologize for how long this has taken. However, I feel I should point out that this is not a quick RP. If nothing happens between updates, that really doesn't matter. The pace is (or should be) far slower than most RPs. On a similar note, as you will soon find out, nearly every action in this RP costs money. As long as you have a positive income, it's not a bad idea to skip the occasional update and let your bank recover. Just flick me a PM and I won't replace you.

That sucks. Send me a PM if anyone drops out.

We appreciate the time and effort that you have put into this RP so far. We (although I cannot speak for the other players) would rather you take the time to get your system where you feel it will make your life easier than you rush out the update.

Definitely agreed. Again, appreciate very much you doing this for us.

EDIT: I know it's late where you are, but do you think you'll get the update up before you go to bed or will it be after? Just wondering.

You do what you have to do Outcast, we're all here and we're not about to leave this awesome RP. I think we all knew this was going to be slow-paced when we signed up. You concentrate on maintaining the RP and we'll be here as long as it takes ;)

Cheers for all the support. I feel like I'm inviting some catastrophe to happen to my computer by saying this, but estimated eta for the update is less than 1 hour.

I shall pray for your own and your computer's safety

[meant to sound King-like]

EDIT: I got so excited for those placeholders, hahahaha

Update is up. Let me know if you see a problem. A few things:

1) Didn't update the map with the Treaty of Constantinople changes; that will be done next update.

2) MagnificentOne, I kinda made a gimp move with the Taiping Revolution. Sorry 'bout that, but I wanted the current focus to be North America/Europe. Giant, you can expect your civil war to be wrapped up within the next update or so.

3) Slight rule change. There are no more colonial orders, everyone gets the same amount. Colonies benefit you through increased population, industry, and resources, but you will have to use normal orders to maintain them.

4) Due to me being slightly late, deadline for next weeks orders is being pushed back a day. Would rather you still got your orders in as soon as possible, however.

Well... I guess it's time to make sure my government in Charleston isn't decapitated...

Anyone who's curious, Thomas Jackson is RL Stonewall Jackson

Overall a splendid update! I made some serious debt with that rail project...

EDIT: In this new system, does £1,000,000 (one million) equal £100 (one hundred) or did I get that conversion wrong?

Three cheers for Outcast!

This is the Golden age of NRP, right here.
