What exactly is going on in Canada and Greater Newfoundland? I am confused, which adds realism I guess, but still.

Greater Newfoundland (The Sovereign Dominion of Newfoundland), popped into existence and replaced the territory that was once Canadian with the territory that was theirs in their previous world. The Canadian people are pissed because they see it as some sort of invasion.

Or at least that's what I'm guessing.

I'm just a bit confused on how many days have passed, and thus don't really know how far i've gotten.

And if i should try to strictly adhere to a speed calculated from maps and real speeds, or go for a more storytellers view of things and get as far as i like as long as i keep the suspension of disbelief.

I never really got some of my questions answered on those accounts :/

There really isn't a strict sense of time. Its a given that we are still in 1941 but there hasn't been a day counter or what not.

That's a good point, about time. Should we start putting dates in our posts?

I don't think we should, because eventually everything will merge as we appear in eachother's posts and interact. It would take planning on everyone's part to synch up, I don't really think it's necessary unless there is a big event.

I'm just a bit off on how far i've gotten towards africa, since there will be some important interactions there.... like my first encounter with a player...

I don't want to say "I get to africa 6 days later and start shooting kegs of beer at the locals." (Or whatever) and someone else had planned to invade japan and the timeline gets a bit mixed up..... further.

Exactly, it'd make overall story telling far too difficult.

@Klomster, who are you planning to have interaction with? I was thinking about your boat getting a rude awakening with who your friends and foes are in this world via an incident with a PBY Catalina.

I don't really think dates are necessary so long as people are willing to collaborate and come to consensus.

But I'm not adverse to their introduction.

With me, he pm'd me about it and we worked out a bit of an interaction, plus it gives me a nice introduction post

Right, @Thang is now officially NPC'd. You can always rejoin, if someone doesn't claim your former territory.

Concerning time, I agree that specific dates would probably bog down the RP too much, but if we seem to be stuck in the same day or week for too long, I'll announce a time skip. Or, better yet, just announce that you think we ought to have a time skip. The same goes with dates - if you need a specific date for, say, a battle, just ask that we move over to a dated format. Communication is key.

In short, time is crunched and stretched at will for storytelling purposes. Unless that gets inconvenient.



[@mrambo80] Your Japan is accepted.

Much as it pains me to do it, @caliban22, it's been a week since you've posted in either OOC or IC. You have three days before your nation is up for NPC'ing.* Note that if it gets NPC'd and nobody else has taken it, you can always take it back.

and then I'd be tempted to grab it, unless someone new wants "Nazi" Germany

Updated the first post.
Please let me know if I missed something.

*Which, because you haven't posted IC yet, means other people can grab the territory for their own alt-nations

Winter I think, since the rp started in December.

Also, the first Ming China post is under way.

@caliban22 Fan of Killzone are we ;P

I'll try to figure out a good introduction to getting to the Republic of south Africa. Or i'll just wing it, probably the latter.
It would be useful if Nerevarine had his/her nation sheet in the characters tab.

Oh, and @Queen Raidne I think it's funny i'm on the map, but not in the list of accepted nations :P
