Working on a nation.

Nice to see that every island territory has been pilfered by some random international gigapower.

The colonialism and assholishness is real.

EDIT: You might want to ditch the WWII-era technology limit. With that I'm seeing in the CT, we're at the Korean War/Vietnam War stage of military technology.

Clocktower is no longer in the RP as far as I'm aware, so the territory they claimed should be fair game. Unless I'm mistaken and they come in to say that they are still in the RP.

Yup, that's more or less what I said to him.
I don't mind if he raises the tech limit but then the rule against jet fighters may look almost silly.
Plus it gives you less means to upgrade your tech later.
WW2 had a rather interesting escalation in arms.

So even if it's a bit of pain I try to highlight all these issues and then leave @Voltus_Ventus to decide what to do with them.

I think I'll put the the time period to the mid 1940's 44-47 maybe, as it seems that all the technology we have is semi encompassed in that era.

I'm fine with that but then by that time some nations may already have reliable jet engines.
Granted, the lack of grueling competition may mean that nobody is forced to use these and even in real life where WW1 and WW2 happened the jet engines didn't truly replace propeller-driven fighters until mid 1950s or so.

There you go, lack of a previous conflict would mean that no one knows the significance of air superiority and thus jet engines would have been neglected.

That's what I think, too. Lack of conflict means that nations don't compete with each other so much in speed.
Albeit both my nation and the Avians are quite developed in terms of air force and try to make the best of them.
My elves also have sensitive ears and likeness for speed.
After some research I deducted they'd mostly use ducted turboprop engines and the difference between turboprop and turbofan (AKA jets) is a thin one.
I keep them having turboprops for now but the breakthrough in jets is within the doorstep.
I'll reason some of the delay with the fact supersonic fans (something which happens for near-every turbofan engine) would produce more noise which is exactly what the elves don't want.

To be blunt I think it's really stupid to say, "We didn't have a major war, therefore there would be no arms race and nations would not have developed *insert technology here*".

What's the point of saying that the tech level is what the real world was at during the 1940's if we don't have all the stuff that was created as a result of WWI? Wouldn't not having that studf make us behind 1940 in tech?

And as in for jet engines, @Voltus_Ventus I don't remember you ever giving a reason why you banned them. Granted I probably wouldn't have gotten jet engines anyways so I don't care much, I'm just curious as to your reasoning.

Thanks. Although I already added myself to the updated version in my N.S. Just look at "Location and Geography". It's been updated.



Edit: that colony at the bottom-the frozen one- is MINE. I wanted to point that out because my colour resembles Yamatai's

In our defense, there were very few islands to begin with. And I don't have any.

Between you and Alfhedil's gifs, I'm never going to be able to concentrate enough to write an IC post XD

On the tech dispute, I would argue to keep the limit because if you raise it people are just going to put up even more advanced stuff to account for it. And most of it doesn't lie that far out of WW2 if at all, though some things (like flying aircraft carriers) should probably be nipped in the bud.

Must have missed it, Hael.

There weren't really any islands to begin with, but if you want there is still room for at least 4 mainland nations. In some of the RPs I've been in someone would have claimed a whole continent for themselves by now.

*Awkwardly looks to the side and whistles at the mention of claiming whole continents*

Well, to be fair there are a few other nations that approach Tin's size. But I just realized that being on the equator, Tin is probably even bigger compared to Avalia and Ventium than it appears to be. Oh well, I basically just own a big desert. I suppose that'd mean that I have a monopoly on sand.

Anybody wanna import sand from Tin? XD

Ya, I remember a RP where that had happened and the G.M. had left us. It was basically chaos as everyone suddenly realized they were woefully unprepared for the coming onslaught.

I feel like I want to claim the rest of my continent just to fill up the empty space.

I almost feel the same. The empty space is annoyingly blank. "WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? WHO LIVES THERE? I MUST KNOW!"

"THERE CAN'T JUST BE A LARGE TERRITORY OF NOTHING!"
