[OOC] New Dawn Rising

[Sigma]

Sorry to double post. Just need to address stuff.

@Brink_
@Inkdrop
Added you both to the map. That about right?

@Willy Vereb Looks like you got neighbors :)

@Monkeypants WMDs are pretty much gone.

[Inkdrop]

Does my nation sheet look alright so far? It was a hasty effort.

@Sigma spot on, although I am alarmed by how small my landmass is compared to others. Should I expand my Greenland territory?

[Sigma]

@Inkdrop I'll give you the rest of greenland, no problem.

As for your sheet, gave it a look, it's good so far, may need some work if you can, also to give two facts about the setting.

1. The Apocalypse occurred in the far future, I'd say 23rd Century, followed by a some centuries of chaos, the "Age of Darkness".
2. Races in this setting mean more then ethnicity, with the advanced technologies of the time and the Apocalypse giving rise to new "sub-races", be they modified humans that quickly evolved and into new races, maybe something elf or dwarf-like for example, or servitor species specifically created to serve now are giving room to grow and develop their own culture, etc.

[Brink_]

@Sigma yeah, looks great.

[Inkdrop]

@Sigmasoooo I can make my people be genetically modified furries of arctic species? And what kind of tech is available? Railguns, jets, guided missiles...?

[Sigma]

@Inkdrop Technology is kind of all over the place kind of thing. However Railgun, laser and plasma weapons I'd say count as a "Pre-Cataclsym" Tech.

As for your people, sure thing.

[Monkeypants]

This... Hmmm..

I was modeling my military after legitimate 50s technology. Railguns, lasers, plasma guns and such really.... Changes things. Not just military but politically. Hmmm...

[Sigma]

@Monkeypants
Don't worry, they are very few and are so difficult to replicate you might as well not.

Edit:

As to note. Your chosen Pre-Cataclsym tech, whatever it may be and it's role in your society, will be rare and something to be treasured or reserved. As they, as stated, can't be replicated or are very costly or dangerous to even try.

So, I'm new to NRPs and might have stupid newb-questions along the way. But, hey, if I'm welcome then this'd seem like a blast, so here's what would be my claim:

Jig's Turf

The border on the Western part of Scandiwegia is very, ahem, circular, because I'm crap with Photoshop. If somebody less crap with Photoshop wants to make the border a little bit less, ahem, precise, then by all means do. :P

[Monkeypants]

got some huge nations in here lol

[Sigma]

@Jig Welcome aboard! Hope your experience is pleasant :)

As for questions, no problem, I'll answer to the best of my ability.

@Monkeypants
Probably for the best :p

Speaking of nations, I wonder where I shall plop myself.(One possible idea is a civil war ridden state, split between warlords. Think a nasty mix of Syria and Somalia.)

[Monkeypants]

Sigma, there any chance I can claim cuba as well? I have an idea for a plot revolving around it.

[Sigma]

@MonkeypantsSure thing. I'll add the claim.

[Monkeypants]

@MonkeypantsSure thing. I'll add the claim.

@Sigma

thanks, and sorry for the late claim :(

[Sigma]

@Monkeypants Nah, it's alright. Before the IC starts, all claims are flexible.

Also @Jig, added you in the map. Is it good?

[Inkdrop]

@SigmaPretty much totally overhauled my nation sheet. Dunno if it is too advanced or not now.

@MonkeypantsOceos is pretty big with Greenland involved but most of Greenland is not habitable, and does not provide a lot of resources.

[Shorticus]

I'm tempted to join. How often do you need posts?

I'd be playing the Malagasy Empire, born from the island of Madagascar being relatively untouched at the end of the nuclear wars. They'll have lost most of their tech, but have effectively become a colonial power in this new Earth.

Here's my map claims (yellow) if the premise is acceptable:



This nation would be all about expansionism via colonization.

EDIT: Actually, could I claim a small piece of Australia as well, or would that be too much?

[Sigma]

@Shorticus At least one post a week would be nice if you have too much going on. And it won't be to much to claim a bit of Australia.

[Shorticus]

In that case, here's my additional claims added to the map: a small piece of Australia and an island near it as well.

[Sigma]

@Shorticus Nice, welcome board :)

@Inkdrop Checked your sheet, good so far, just not quite sure on the guided missiles.

Although, would anyone object to it?
