[OOC] The Descent of Man

[DAWNSTAR]

Alright, I've put off working on my sheet for too long now. I am going to actually to get work on it tonight. Thinking of placing it either in the frozen wastes of North America(either around Chicago, New York or Vancouver), the flooded(hopefully) portion of North America(Likely along the Florida or Georgia coast line), or the burning desert in the either the areas of Jordan, Egypt or even South Africa. Not sure which of those places but I do know it is likely to be a very religion based nation which believes that God wanted them to live through the Nuclear Winter and Summer and that the mutations were caused by the Devil.

Somewhat interested in the RP, but Isotope's assertion of the West's stoical resistance to technological and societal stagnation and regression doesn't add up with the RP's initial premise. Patently, history tells us that the West is worthy of respect and formal recognition for its technical and martial prowess, but I sincerely believe that he's severely overestimating its capabilities. When you've lost 90 percent of the world's total population within a very short time span to ICBMs, biological agents and a teeming demographic of bestial mutant lifeforms, you're looking at the immediate destruction and gradual degradation of entire ethnic groups, racial groups and religious groups of Earth. This event makes the cumulative effects of every single natural disaster and war in human history look like petty child's play in comparison. With 770 million persons remaining in the world, humanity just got bumped back down to (roughly) 1750 population levels; infighting amongst human populations, mutant incursions and the very real possibility of pathogens springing up out of nowhere aren't doing the species any favors, either. EDIT: Anyway, I might play some remnant of the US.

I got a sheep up. Please mention any criticisms and/or improvements I can make.

So, the we don't know scenario is the way we are going in regards to the nukings, I'm not going to change the introduction because everyone's point of view will be different.

[TheSovereignGrave]

Er, if we're going with the 'nobody knows for sure' route you probably should change the first post. Because it all but explicitly states what actually happened.

@TheSovereignGrave

True, and done.

[DAWNSTAR]

Alright, I have decided on my area being in South Africa. More specifically, Cape Town, South Africa. I will be getting to work on developing specifics on the nation. I will most likely be developing several mutants for the area.

[WanderingRebel]

Well i am almost done with my nation sheet 'touch-wood' lol, Reading over it i might of got a little carried away with the writing there's quite a bit of text, anyway is my nation app looking alright so far?.

[Marshall]

Hey guys, I hate to ask but could everyone put their amazing Nation Sheets in hiders so that I can scroll through faster, the faster I scroll, the faster we start thanks.

[UltikanaRe]

@MarshallDone! Can I do first IC post?

[Marshall]

Guys, go ahead and start writing your starting posts, I'll definitely have mine ready by noon tomorrow. Go ahead and post them whenever but I won't be posting until tomorrow morning or noon.

[DELETED324324]

I can't post until Monday.

[Marshall]

Thats fine Enalais, we'll make sure not to get too far ahead

[Marshall]

First post is up! After you get confirmation on your NS go ahead and post.

[TheSovereignGrave]

I still have to start my NS technically, since I've decided to change it. And Marshall, you really don't need to tell me not to start posting until after I've finished my NS. -_- EDIT: But, on the bright side, I've finally actually decided on which of the several ideas I had that I'm going to use. I've already made got the map, and now I just need to actually put everything into words. Just need a name.

[TheSovereignGrave]

@UltikanaRe Um, what the hell happened in your post exactly? And why would a lake stay frozen for 73 years?

[UltikanaRe]

Nuclear winter made Lake Constance indefinately frozen, and the details are intentionally hidden.

[TheSovereignGrave]

Um, I don't think that's how nuclear winters work. Stuff just doesn't stay frozen after the winter's over.

[DAWNSTAR]

Wait, @UltikanaRe, did your people just fire bomb a frozen lake? Was that what turned it into water once more?

[UltikanaRe]

@DAWNSTAREssentially, yes. It was nuclear winter in Germany and they just released a powerful firebomb. This is their first step toward coming out of a deep dark age, and i thought it would make a good post.
