[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Chapatrap]

Also seven people viewing the thread now. What the fuck is with this explosion all the sudden. I say god damn. Let it be known on this day and on this hour over half of the NRP forum was viewing this thread.

@Dinh AaronMk

After 11 long, hard, gruelling months of inactive occasional posting, we now have 15+ players.

New Zealand is okay as long as you understand its limits. We have had problems with people picking their hometowns/nations and trying to make great powers out of them (my noob-self included, back when I first joined PoW). It was so bad we started calling them Hometown Super-powers. So yeah, New Zealand is fine as long as you play it realistically and understand that you're probably not going to carve out an empire. If you play it well, and for long enough, you may do something great with it, but New Zealand is not exactly the kind of nation to go around conquering shit or something.

<Snipped quote by Wilted Rose> Slovene-Croatia doesn't like you. Unless you're going to help blast Serbia with us. :P

@Stale Pizza

Nah, I'd violate a bunch of shit if I did that.

@Wilted Rose

Also your siggy got me hooked up in Polandball. Holy crap, I should have seen this stuff earlier on. And an Polandball comic here:

Someone art-y should make Precipice ball.

@Pepperm1nts

I am trying to play it as realistic as I can. Does 100,000 soldiers seem too op? EDIT: Um oops. I think I made NZ a bit underpowered 9,500 full personnel. Oh geez

[Shyri]

I mentioned this in a PM with SgtEasy, but... Since Maxxorlord has been MIA for the last 3 months, would it be okay for me to get the go-ahead to NPC a few of their characters for one post? We were supposed to have a meeting to reestablish the Commonwealth months ago, but they went missing right before we got to it. And since it seems like that will be important for British-New Zealander relations, I'd rather not wait, hoping Maxx comes back.

@Chapatrap

Amusing as that would be, I can not into art.

[Hella Cute]

I'm a registered submitter for the polandball subreddit. I could totally do it.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Another quick question. Can I bring Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands into this? I am betting no one would want them, sad as that is

@SgtEasy

I was going to apprehensively say "no". But then I looked at the history for the Samoan islands and given the time-line divergence they could still run them. Not sure on the Cook Islands or Tonga. I'd prefer not unless sometime around the First World War they were administrating them. And remember, in some ways France still has some colonies too in the Pacific Islands in the region.

[Meiyuuhi]

I'd like to point out that there are a whole huge plethora of countries to take, all easily visible on the NPC Factsheet (http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/NPC_Factsheet) I just went and thoroughly revamped. Also, the entire two continents of North and South America have three players. Southeast Europe (not even counting Italy)? Four.

[Hella Cute]

Pakistan is a part of the new Indian Federation, though isn't it? Or am I reading the overview wrong?

@Hella Cute

No, I don't believe it is. The two lore summary posts below the OP has more information that the NPC factsheet. Basically, it has everything we decided was absolute canon as of our move to this forum. Of course, more things have been added since, but for the most part it will give you the most concise, detailed information. And be wary of the wiki. The wiki isn't completely updated, so some of that stuff is way crazy outdated. EDIT: Nope, it definetly is. The map doesn't properly represent the truth, which is my fault since I drew the map. Pakistan's history is this Pakistan, as such,does not exist. Part of India until 1971, it has since the collapse of central authority been divided into petty states by warlords, religious leaders and adventurers. Only in October 1976, following the takeover of Bengal by the UFI, was order imposed once again upon the region by the persian military, who occupied the Indus river valley preventively, as UFI forces were nearing on Ahmedabad, in nearby Gujarat. Since the armistice in late 1977, it has been reintegrated into a federal Indian state, with wide autonomy for its constitutive regions, Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkwa."

[Dinh AaronMk]

I keep telling the like of Vilage and Googer to work on it. I can only cover so much. EDIT - Reviewing the lore summary concludes that Pakistan did reintegrate into India.

[Hella Cute]

Sweet, still writing on my app for India then.

He's been trying to join the military basically for three and a half years now. Or something. I was a freshman in high school when I met you guys. Now I'm a senior with a fucking ROTC scholarship and I'm farther along than he is.

Unrelated, I logged onto the Wiki and found this notification:
