If the moon is big enough to have an atmosphere, retain water and even have a flora, wouldn't it severely impact the stability of our planet's tilt and orbit? Unless they're more like twin planets than an actual planet-satellite system.

@Veoline

Both the planet and moon are more massive but not larger than our Earth and moon.

But our races all evolved in this gravity so we're used to it.

Edit: How many moons are there orbiting the planet?

@Veoline

One large moon, with oceans and plant life, so it would be blue and green much like the Earth would seem from space. Except the land covers a significantly larger portion of the surface, say half and half.

Speaking of moons, I was thinking recently about a "global event" (for the southern regions, at least). How often would an eclipse happen? Has one already happen (I didn't notice any when reading through old IC posts)? How big is the actual world compared to this continent, for reference of how many of us would see said eclipse? Do "global events" even happen at all, or is this wishful thinking?

On that question, would there be any climate change as the years go on, like a new ice age?

@Father Dagon

Not sure about the eclipse, if you guys agree on it happening now or on a definite cycle we can include it. Same with any other global events, since this is after all a collaborative writing process. I like the idea myself. I have not seen any eclipses, and I've read all the IC up until the last page.

In terms of a mercator projection, which is how the actual whole map is, the current map is roughly one quarter of the world, the northeast corner. I do wish that there was a tool where you could convert a mercator projection map to an actual globe, but I have not found one. This continent is essentially a parallel to Europe-Asia-Africa, so think the distance between the tip of the western peninsula and the mouth of the desert river is roughly equivalent to the distance between Istanbul and Beijing. Which according to the internet is 4710 miles.

I don't think I can keep up with you guys anymore. I just haven't felt in the mood to sit down and write for a long while. I've been busy with other things, and I just don't feel creative enough. I think maybe I just need some time to refuel my brain. So, sorry guys, I'll have to drop this one and take a break from the guild for a while.

Feel free to come back anytime and continue, we'll leave the door open for you. And yours were my favorite posts, too xD

True Vacuum - New Universe Space NRP

I'm thinking about a second post, probably try to interact with SgtEasy.

GalaxyQuest, you say?

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>
It feels odd to read this, yet the logic holds.

Also, even with the original Civ RP, I don't think there was a timeline followed very strictly.

@Aweirdgamer

Indeed. One of my favorite movies.

Well, to be fair, I don't remember the last time you took a very strong position on anything. Not that that's a bad thing. If there were more people like you in the world we might all get along for a change

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

Alas, I got a Windows phone so I don't got no Fallout Shelter either.

@Vilageidiotx

Ditto for Android, so far.

*sniffles* If I become Persia, I'm all alone *Cries back into corner*

Except for Rommel and Japan. High five!

@SgtEasy

According to the map I am invading you xD

Also if no one takes it I may control Communist China.

This is not a democracy, dude. I will get my way...someday.

@Veoline

See, the thing is when I don't want to make a decision I defer it to a higher authority.

The only higher authority is Aweirdgamer.

Which basically makes it a democracy.

A democracy in which you appear to have lost, dear fellow.

Point of Departure: World War II

@Iluvatar

I love that series so much. And this is the exact time when it happened too.

In regards to global geopolitics, we do need an Axis player. I would desert for the sake of the storyline but then we wouldn't have a communist player.

<Snipped quote by Father Dagon>

I agree with Mango. The system I proposed wouldn't change the fact that frequent posters advance faster. All it would do would be providing a time frame for the events of the Rp, and that's pretty much it.

As I said previously, it is permissible not to detail the progress made towards a technology in every single post, especially when the technology requires many posts to be obtained.

@Veoline

@Double Capybara

Your sheet looks good, you can go ahead and post.

Point of Departure: World War II

That's all I can do for now. I'll come back later, but the central powers are complete.

Forgive me if it's a bit scarce on info, but there was no way I was going to list the active tank and plane models for this many countries. Just know that in my posts, historical equipment will be in use, along with tactics and command problems (Hitler started to get a little micro-managy at this point, but nothing compared to what he did in '43 and '44. Oh, and '45. )

If the GM doesn't like what I'm selling, that's cool. I just figured you guys would want a living, breathing enemy to kill, and I'm happy to play the part. In return I want some forgiveness for any historical inaccuracies I make (i will correct them if pointed out), and some leeway for other mistakes (which again, I will correct).

In short, I'll be the bad guy, but i wont tolerate some noob screaming "WAIT, THAT CANT HAPPEN, LET ME GIVE YOU A SMUG 2000 WORD ESSAY AS TO WHY!"

Just say point out my mistake, politely explain what I need to do to correct it, and we'll all be happy Gilmore.

I also wont tolerate this kind of talk: "hey dude, that Panzer model wasn't available for another two days."

I know we have alot of professors in this Guild, and some of them are a bit volatile. I'll correct and gratefully receive information regarding any critical errors on my part, but if it's benign, I'd rather not waste the time and effort when I could be posting.

Thanks! :)

@Thang

The USSR-replacement is fully on board with you on this subject.
