There he goes again, that ding-danged Ron Paul.

If we're still thinking we could get a themesong for PoW I may have found someone. Maybe.

He mentions he'll make music for games and shit if you want it. If we're of the opinion we should give it a shot I can get with him over G-mail and look into prices and stuff and get talking.

So. This looks like a roleplay I could get into. :) I just started on the forums, and have been shopping around all day for RP's that catch my interest, and this, by far, has. I read through all the nation summaries on page one, and have a three ideas for who I might want to take control of, if possible.

The Slavic Union seems like it could be an interesting choice, as do the US and Japan. If it wouldn't be too much of a hassle, could I get any need-to-know info about these countries, that may have not been mentioned in the summaries? Or possibly some tips/advice, should I take one of them under my wing?

I'm loving what I'm reading from this so far, and can't wait to get myself all caught up on the IC posts. It'll just take a while, by the looks of it.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Most of the need-to-know information on those nations should be in the summary. So I wouldn't be too worried.

I might otherwise link to the wiki. But that's a mess that I'm slowly picking through to clean up. Lord forbid anyone else helps out!

Polan is Armenia sugardaddy.

Help into removings of kebabs. Gib tanks.

[Vilageidiotx]

Ethiopia can't send tanks. Will send this guy instead.

[Dinh AaronMk]

China can only into rolling Russia and keeping a cautious eye of rivalry on Japan because that's their policy.

[TheEvanCat]

In Viccy 2 I just conquered Japan. And the rest of the Pacific and India.

Okay, so it's down to Poland and Japan, since I think the US might be a little too big for me to take on right now, since I'm just getting back into RPing again. Before I decide and fill out the sheet for one of them though, I wanted to know what the technology levels look like. Is it behind in this universe since WW2 never occurred? I'm sorry if it was in the intro, there was a lot of info to take in, and I might have looked over it for other things by mistake.

[Vilageidiotx]

The tech is a little confusing. In the original precipice, we sort of matched mid-seventies tech and there was a push to go further because everyone wanted the shiniest stuff they could get. As Precipice found its heart, the new technology began to look a little weird so we retconned it away. Right now, we are officially at the same level in tech that the world was between the end of World War 2 and the beginning of the Korean War. There is, however, no nuclear weapons. That slot in the narrative has been replaced by nerve gas.

But if you read older posts from other forums, or from the wiki, you'll probably find mentions of tech that is more advanced. Ignore that. We are pretending it didn't happen.

It's uneven.

In general the technological state could be best described as being Second World War or even pre Second World War. On the other hand, the time-line difference has sort of created inflated bubbles of growth or exploration in some fields in certain parts of the globe. As examples, the Germans have gone about reinventing airship doctrine and engineering to legitimatize their role in combat. Where as in China government interest in space as per an evolving air-force doctrine has seen the rise and development of rocketry and what we'd call Transistors (or as the Chinese call them: Electrical Control Gates or ECGs). Spain has a sort of rudimentary and primitive version of Skype involving telephone lines and a network or video-audio transmission connecting the various heads of state and companies in their nation. The US, Spain, and China have independently developed jet aircraft.

However, the current state of the international market and trade makes it unlikely a lot of this technology would spread very easily. The Chinese for example wouldn't readily trade their state developments to anyone, and even with their allies it's "last year's model". The economic world is really very broken and even within there it's unlikely the Great Power's developments would work around within those zones, there isn't incentive yet to share big secrets; it's all in stockpiling it in the event war breaks out.

Spain, China, and the US have by-and-far been considered the only nations really capable of having the industrial capabilities to explain this choppy spread of technology, because even if jet tech has existed on paper since before the First World War no one but them has really had the means to test the theories. And nations like Poland aren't old enough as a major power to be acting on the latest and Japan is sort of too bruised and beaten to try.

And we also got to fix the shit in the Wiki. I don't want to be the only one to go on Wiki patrol.

Okay. Thanks for all the info! Now all that's left is picking between my final two, and I should be able to get a sheet done by tonight, if not tomorrow. Since Europe seems pretty full, I'm leaning more toward Japan right now, but there's still things drawing me toward Poland, so it's a pretty tough decision.

[TheEvanCat]

Be Polan. Do stories with me.

[Dinh AaronMk]

And deal with crazy Russians across the border in their non-existent state. Complete with an abundance of meth and cheaply cut heroine. Get you some refugees with rotting legs or arms.

[Cancel]

Well. Prepare to have your cars stolen, Europe. Looks like I'm going Poland. ;)

This is literally not hard. Same name. Same avatar.

I'm also the only person on Steam with my name.
