[OOC] [RP Closed] Warlords of China

[LordZell]

<Snipped quote by LordZell>

You'd have to check with the GM about that when he gets on. Personally I'd find that to be an interesting idea but it can get OP/out of hand really quickly.

@ClocktowerEchos

I understand how it could but I could talk with the GM about my ideas and how it can be kept in check so I'm not overrunning the countryside.

Just looking at the map here, but what is that province that's just under the one over on the top right of the map?

[Murtox]

I would like to reserve Shandong , until i get a sheet ...soon...maybe

Shandong

@Bright_Ops

You mean the really long one? That's Inner Mongolia

[Lennon79]

Well.
First off, in relation to the stat system this is what we's in the industry call making a mountain out of a mole hill. The stats don't directly mean anything, they are purely an abstract representation of each state's military organisation. A state with 0% could still win against one with 100%, if they play their cards right. And don't worry about favouritism; I hate everybody equally so you don't have to worry there.
As for Japan, I'm going to have to say no. All foreign powers will be NPCed for plot and balance purposes. Sorry, but there are reasons.
Come to think of it clock, I forgot something very important in your app. Read the rules plz.

@ClocktowerEchos

Nah, not the long one. The one that's pretty much the southern half of Manchuria.

Use this:


@Lennon79Forgot about that part oops >u<

[Bright_Ops]

@ClocktowerEchos Thank you!

Can I lay claim to Jilin?

[Lennon79]

All territories other Tibet and those already claimed are available, so sure.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Will we be able to claim more territory if not all of the places are cliamed?

[Lennon79]

In the interest of initial balance, no. Those areas not claimed will be populated by minor unnamed warlords, some of whom may be friendly, others not so much. They will eventually be used as fodder for PVE conquest.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Have a new map people

[Bright_Ops]

Okay, I will make a Warlord sheet proper tomorrow. I've just been under the weather the last week or so but I'm feeling better now.

[Lennon79]

You are not sempai, you are unworthy of being a sempai.

@ClocktowerEchos

Ouch. Good one XD

[ClocktowerEchos]

-bows-

I try lol

How does my army look?

[Lennon79]

Looking good, though 1.5 million is a big army. Even the Beiyang Army, one of the largest and most modern formations in China at the time was only about six divisions.
I think I'll take some of the layout and details you've put into yours and use it to pad out my CS a bit.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Do you have any recommendations on how to make the total pop/military pop more even? A number would be favorable

[Lennon79]

Census's are hard to come by, but most of what I've found pegs Guangdong with a population of around 3mil in 1900. Any more than 10% of your total population in the army and you start to get major economic issues.
But if we do this 100% realistically, then none of us are gonna have any fun, so let's say... Guangdong has a population of 9mil.

[Sven the Silent]

I'm interested, I would like to claim the Ningxia region if possible. Should I be accepted then I will get a sheet out tomorrow, most likely. Or Sunday/Monday, the days I have off at the moment. I'm also expressing interest in other nation roleplays at the moment, but when it comes to nation roleplays I enjoy historically accuarate scenarios most. (Those being in the normal Human world, having normal regular Human history up to the point we're playing.) So I will definetly be participating in this one if i'm accepted.

Quick question though, how many players were you looking for exactly?

[Lennon79]

Six to eight is my preferred number, though I expect it'll be four to six at most.
