Heh, I know that feel all to well.

WELL LUCKY FOR YOU!!!

HOLY MONKEY FLIYNGSOPGN SDJGNKLH (sorry just so excited)

The IC is officially up! Kept it short and sweet since honestly, I just want to get this thing going! POST AWAY MY MINIONS! POST AWAY

I'll probably expand on it later, but for now, let's just get things started!

When Smoke Filled the Skies (A Diseal/Steampunk styled Nation Roleplay)

"Truly, there is no other period of time than ours, when man has conquered nature itself. We rule the skies, the seas, and the land. Our cities grow larger and our factories double in size. These are the times when smoke filled the skies....."

No one can stop the industrial machine from advancing, keep science from discovering, or adventurers from exploring. In the early years of this isolated land of Atlius, Three large, great empires had united the surrounding kingdoms through various means of conquest, marriage, and economic superiority. These ancient civilizations set the modern scene you see today, for these empires created various standards for communication, localized various ethnic groups, and expanded into the previously unknown wilderness. But as man began to finally conquer nature itself, something happened. Nobody knows how, what, or why, but these three great, unnamed empires seemingly vanished overnight, leaving behind very little evidence of their existence. Whatever surviving people began to create their own kingdoms, city states, and nations across Atlius, surviving many trials of time. Though soon man would turn in his sword, in exchange for the firearm.

Industrial Revolution swept across Atlius, touching every nation in the land. Airships now suddenly fly through the skies, metal monsters sail through the seas and crawl along the land. It is a time for change, a time for advancement. The world is a smaller place now, with inventions such as the telegraph and the radio. Man now dominates the all aspects of nature and is fueling his progress at an insatiable rate. For this is the time, when smoke filled the skies, and what will you do?

Shall your nation lead the world in technology?
Perhaps amaze foreign lands with your superior culture?
Or be crushed by your mighty treads and massive cannons?
Or will be simply buried, by the invisible hand of time?

It is Mid-Spring in the land of Atlius as many people now recover from the particularly harsh winter of 1459. What shall the beginning of this decade hold for them?

As long as you read the rules, maybe even look at a few NS sheets to compare to, you'll be fine. Most of it is just international trade discussion.

Wow, people just keep flooding in!

Sigma said
Hmm, I have some interest if you guys still have room.

Yeah sure! Just give me a sec to update the map and nation list with the new additions to get a better idea of what the current situation is.

Green said
Quick question. The technology level is obviously very fantasy tech and whatnot. How does that affect medical progress? Is crazy genetic science along the lines of "The Island of Dr. Moreau" too far out? If not, what would be too far out?

Hmmm.... I never had thought about it in that aspect, PM me what you have in mind specifically.

Just popping in to check up on things! Glad to see you guys making progress and such! The IC will FINALLY be up tomorrow. Holy freaking flying cows on a stripper pole it has been a loooooong week for me..... But yeah, be on the lookout for the IC post!

When Smoke Filled the Skies (A Diseal/Steampunk styled Nation Roleplay)

uUUUUuuuuggggghhhh...... I'm so eager to get this underway! BUT sadly, due to some bad weather where I live, school had been postponed (Yeaaaaah!), and it actually moved some of my test dates to tomorrow and Thursday (Booooooo!) thus I won't be able to finish up the IC post tonight, but it will be up Friday for sure! SO take the time to work on the Nation Sheets and such. I'm really liking the interaction going on here and I am honestly dieing to get this thing going....

but you know, shit happens....... really stupid shit....

Eastern Standard for me

Invictus said
Things have recently come up and with the current Rps that I am in, this one my just be a wee bit too much for me. I'm sorry I didn't even get to finish my sheet, but feel free to dismiss or take over my nation. Good luck, hail the church of the machine.

Alright, sorry to see you go (I was looking forward to conflict :( ), your nation will become an NPC.

Green said
If it´s too much trouble, and you guys have room to spare; mind me joining? Is there any desert areas vacant?

We have room for another nation, but we already have one (possibly two) desert nations, so please choose something else. Colored areas on the map are, of course, already claimed territories. Also, the IC is going up soon, so all I ask is that you get your territory claim to me as soon as possible. Just so that everyone knows where you are.

@Everyone
Alright! Tomorrow the first IC post will go up! Don't sweat it if your not entirely done, just try to get any core, essential information on your NS done. Things like international relationships and such don't have to be completed immediately.

When Smoke Filled the Skies (A Diseal/Steampunk styled Nation Roleplay)

Holy shit I am back from the hellish internetless wasteland with a computer now! I'm going to start drafting up some more backstory here and post a rough draft and see how you guys like it.

The Incredible John said
Do you guys still have room for one more? Seems really interesting.

Yeah sure! Just post a NS and carve out a nation! Though be warned, since a lot of people are finishing up, we might end up starting before you fully complete your NS.
