Yes. Do not use the wiki. A lot of the things in it aren't canon. It's really just a collection of all the memories that make us a little ashamed of our past.


We should spend like a day or two at some point dedicated to cleaning the wiki. We have all the country summaries up, we can maybe clear up a few events, be ruthless with the de-canonising and then it should look okay for another few years.

Worry about making it interesting.

People too often fall into this line of thought where they feel they need to focus on pure development. It'll bore you. There just isn't much you can do with "And then we invested and we also built tanks."

Come up with an interesting story and find a way to tie it into the larger story. That is how you become important.

And from that I have now come up with a idea that would be very, very, interesting.

Can I jump in on this as the Slavic Union?

You do have a rather poor track record for activity, you know that.

Yeah I know. I actually hate that, it just that with the last nation I tried to play as, Japan, its canon was...I don't even know. So much nonsense with having to explain why the emperor made tons of decisions that make no sense. Then with South Africa I was annoyed by how nonsense my own decisions were. Poland seems like a pretty clean slate though, and actually makes some sense. Plus with some new people joining in, I figure now's the best time to try and make an effort.

I honestly understand you thinking I'm going to just sign up, make a post or two, and leave. I mean, I'd assume the same thing.

Well given how Poland is going to be a major part in someone's own writing you won't just be a minor inconvenience, but you'll be a pretty major one when you get caught up in future events and stop posting or drop to Prospo levels of posting.

There's plenty of other clean slates apart from Polandia.

Yeah, I'd rather Poland be taken up by someone who actually posts, seeing as Huggles wants to rape it and it's my sugar daddy.

I have the same concerns as Aaron. Your track record has been kinda shit, to be honest. I don't even remember a single thing you've done as any country, because you've never stuck around long enough to do much. I'd be more comfortable with you going with something like Belarus. It's similar to Poland, at least in that it's Slavic and on the border with Russia. But it's not important enough (at the moment) that I'd worry for it too much.

But that's not to say you couldn't make something good out of it. It has potential, especially with the cluster-fuck that is Russia sitting next to it. As Belarus, you'd be neighbors with hands down the biggest pot of potential-gold in the PoW world.

Hmm, well I did not realize about Poland, I guess. I don't really know about Belarus, the fact that it is also Slavic and near Russia does not really make me interested in it. Is there any other open nations I'm trusted with?

Well, I could shoot at the passing by sailors every so often and sell titles and T-shirts.

Just mention a few you wouldn't mind playing and I'll state how I feel about it. I'm not really sure what you're looking for so I don't know. But there's plenty of free nations without much established canon.

Greece is cool. They recently conquered the Aegian coast of Turkey.

I added an art rotator to the OP as Vilage suggested. It should flip through assorted PoW-related artworks every time the page is visited or refreshed.

I'll also be collecting art pieces to throw into it.
