Unrelated: Aaron needs to replace the old, ugly map in the OP with the newer one being passed around. I know you have an unreasonable attachment to that map, but come on, that thing's pretty shit. And you never update it. You might as well use one that is going to be updated for you.

We have a map? I thought we just threw place names around like APCs and aircraft carriers.

I got a spot in World in Revolution. I. got. a. spot. OH MY GOd.

Yeah, I wouldn't join one in another board. In an RPGuild WiR, you may get into a five-page argument about overlapping treaties, nonsensical shit, and troop numbers but over there you'll probably have to fight off hitmen in real life if you do something wrong.

Sounds like a game of Risk. Or Monopoly.

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk> But it's an exclusive game of Risk. Only a few get in.

<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx> You know, I remember hearing about a political game like Risk that was more intense. And people usually do it through Email. The way I heard it on NPR it can get so intense and cut throat it has destroyed friendships, or threatened legit physical violence. Real money I think has also been traded in the form of bribery to cement backroom alliances. I wish I could remember if that was risk or not. But when I heard it I thought of WiR at the time.

The WiR at Paradox is the real deal. They don't take fighting in the OOC to heart. The year is 1894, where I am playing as Colombia. So the Thousand Days' War is going to happen in two years and America will be asking for rights to build the Panama Canal. Thank God for Google. Here are samples of what they post (if you want to know): WiR: 1861 WiR: 1900

I'll have you know I wrote some fucking top-notch rhetoric in the game I was part of. I even tried to tell a story.
