Okay: ancient empires are awesome. Playing kingdoms more akin to Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome than to medieval nations... That sounds fun.

I like the idea of the GM deciding how the populace interacts with the nation, and how trade is going, how battles go, etc. Sounds like a good mix of good ol' fashioned tabletop gaming and Nation RP.

Count me in. I can make an IC post 2 times a week with no difficulty. I won't say "once a day" because I've got university to contend with and it could whisk my time away from me at any moment.
