May I reserve the UK?
Done!
Edit: Also, what is y'alls opinion on GMs playing within their own RPs? Because to be honest I REALLY want to play The People's Republic of the Congo...
I'd like to reserve the USA!
Well I think you just made Byrd a very angry man.
I would like to reserve the Soviet Union.
Done!
Can't remember if you answered this or not, but is the IC going to be more like updates, bulletins, and announcement ala a WiR game, or can we do more with actual characters and prose with our IC?
A mixture of both. You can do announcements, bulletins, etc. However if you want to make actual characters and go more George R.R Martin that is also a choice. However if you do I'd like it to be more like this.
*Announcement/Bulletin*
*How your 'characters' react to the events/announments*
Try to mix the two properly is what I am saying so it doesn't look like trash weird.

Welcome to Twilight Struggle: A Cold Affair! In this Semi-Advanced Roleplay you, the player, will be taking the reigns of a nation during the turbulent years of the 1970s. Ten years prior the Berlin Wall rose and further divided the world into the East and the West, now unrest in Eastern Europe and the turmoil in Vietnam brings the world's new alliances of The Warsaw Pact and NATO into conflict over the continued spread of 'The Red Menace'. Will you be able to keep world peace, or under your reign will your nation face the darkness of a third Great War... Welcome, to the Twilight Struggle.
First, a quick FAQ.
Q: How are national actions, internationally and nationally, done?
A: Diplomacy is done entirely through the IC section of this RP. Every declaration, proclamation, and any other 'tion' you can think of goes there. If you are looking for private discussion with specific nations, that is done entirely in PMs. If the nation you wish to speak to is a NPC, you would PM me.
For national actions, that is entirely at your behest. However do take into account if you are playing say Iran and declare your nation Catholic I will, as GM, intervene and crush you. Just because I give you control of your policies and actions does not mean I give you permission to be foolish. To keep things flowing historical events will occur unless prevented directly, so expect GM intervention/events to be posted at least semi-regularly alongside minor updates to the game-world.
Q: So, what can I do as leader of my nation?
A: Anything you want, within reason of course. As I said, you can't go simply nuking nations or using covert operations to replace other leaders as clowns, etc. Use common sense. However if say North Korea wishes to form an official alliance with China, well, that's entirely up to those respective players.
Secondly, the rules. As this is a Semi-Advanced Roleplay I trust most players will know the basics and follow them easily, but they should be stated none-the-less.
Now onto the juicy stuff, the actual application/profile sheet! Now, this isn't just your application, this your pretty much your 'card'. As time goes on you may want to change it to suit current events within the RP. For example, nine years from our start date of 1970, Iraq is coup'd by Saddam Hussein and the Ba'athists, if the player decided to fight the coup the sheet would remain the same, but if they decided to fall to the Ba'athists they would need to change their sheet to fit the new government. This would include adding the event to their history, changing their government type and set-up, leaders, name, etc. This way your sheet is, in a way, your nation's history and culture as the RP changes.
*If you do not see the nation as claimed or reserved, it is open. If you have any questions, please PM me.
I will begin getting an OOC up for this shin-dig shortly. I am also debating making some sort of chatzy or something of the sort for an IC United Nations or just pure diplomatic conversations. Of course the main place for such actions will be in the I.C and through PMs.
Edit: The OOC is now up and can be found here: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80342-twilight-struggle-a-cold-affair/ooc

I'd be interested in the US. However, if Byrd insists on having it, I'll take Portugal.
PROVIDED YER NOT GONNA CARNATION ME
Oh... I didn't know you still actually used RPG... Well this is awkward.
Would Playing as Taiwan, South Vietnam, South Korea, or West Germany be ok?
Most likely. However like I said, I am not sure what will be reserved or not yet. However most major nations will be open to everyone including the U.S and U.S.S.R.
@Chairman Stein Will Soviet Union and USA be open to play? Also, how exactly will the espionage work? Sounds interesting. I may have time.
All nations that existed in 1970 will be open to play. However, I may reserve some positions depending on the player-situation and if I have to bring in 'outside forces' I.E the Skype group I'm working with, proving I am a nepotist a-hole.
