Could I reserve the Ottomans?

@Nerevarine

As long as you make a sheet of the Ottomans before someone else does, I think that you don't need to reserve your nation.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

<Snipped quote by The Grey Warden>

Without seeing your sheet, I must admit the decision to place Catwoman in Blüdhaven is quite baffling given her usual M.O. that said I'd be up for some interaction at some point however it won't be immediately as one I was hoping playing a second stringer in his own city would lead to less interaction to work with my time restraints and two I've got Nightwing quite tied up at the moment.

@Lord Wraith

It wasn't my decision as the game master told me that I should be some other place than Gotham as it's too crowded.

Not trying to sound harsh or anything. I am just doing what the game master is telling me to do.

EDIT: He beat me to it.

Endure. Survive. (Set in non-canon Last of Us world)

I am interested! I have played The Last of Us on Hard before and now I am planning to play it on Grounded.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

I almost forgot. I am going to play as Catwoman. So, I would need to talk to @BlackSam3091 about the history between her and Batman. And I need to talk to @Lord Wraith, since Catwoman is going to be Blüdhaven. I want to see if he wants Nightwing to interact with her.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

<Snipped quote by The Grey Warden>

South Africa doesn't have the same cultural connectivity to the United Kingdom that Canada, Australia and New Zealand do. There's also no 'big bad' for South Africa, whereas with Canada there is the United States, and with Australia and New Zealand there is the East Asian blob.

This isn't about maximizing the power or extent of the UK, it's about what makes the most sense.

@The Nexerus

I just thought that they had some kind of cultural connection since United Kingdoms did expand down there. I guess that I was wrong. Oh well.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

I included only Newfoundland as being under British sovereignty because a nation in the Interest Check (that seems to have bowed out) divided up Canada into various nations, but didn't state anything definitive about Newfoundland. If it is at all possible, I think it would be reasonable for London to have reacquired sovereignty over Canada in the same way that it reacquired sovereignty over Australia and New Zealand. Simply replace China with the United States. It likely would have occurred even sooner than Australia, actually.

@The Nexerus

You could also reacquired sovereignty over South Africa...

OF IRON AND COAL - AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION NATION ROLEPLAY

THE CONCERT OF EUROPE
Napoléon Bonaparte has died in Saint Helena, but his legacy of power and domination still shakes Europe. The empires of the Americans are shattered, and the empires of Europe hear the first rumbles in a gathering storm of nationalism. The Vienna Congress that brought the Napoleonic Wars to an end was meant to restore the old monarchical order, but the concert of balanced powers it sought to establish is already looking precarious. Whichever nations can seize this moment will dominate a new age.

THE IDEAL GOAL
The goal of this roleplay is not to dominate Europe or the Americans or even the world. The goal is to tell the stories of these empires in a different way and follow them as they face issues that can make or break them. I don't want players, who just roleplay to conquer and control the world. If you're one of those players, then you better go play Victoria 2 or Empire Total War. I also want the players to do the following in this roleplay:

• Collaborations among the players and their nations as it strengthens the bond between players.
• The use of diplomacy over war. Force on diplomacy before you just go to war.
• Don't get upset when things don't go your way. Life is unfair and things will not always go your way. Just deal with it.
• Be as active as the player can be. I don't want to force them to post, I want them to take their time rather than being rushed.
• Arguments are understandable, but don't make it go overboard.
• And lastly, make such that your choices are reasonable and realistic. I don't want you to go unpunished for your unrealistic actions.

I hope that you understand these goals and we have a good time. I just want this roleplay to last for a long time and become a masterpiece on this site along other great roleplays.

THE MAP OF THE WORLD IN 1821

The world has changed ever since The Vienna Congress happened. The mighty Spanish Empire is collapsing in the Americans as revolt after revolt pops up in their colonies. The Greeks finally rebelled against their rulers, The Ottoman Empire, by establishing the country of Greece. Half of India is under the control of the British government.

The small country of America has expanded westward; but, they meet the weaken New Spain. Russia has finally established their land in Alaska and hopes that anything valuable could be found there. And in Africa, tons of tribes have been found by explorers and they aren't welcoming foreigners any time soon. The Dutch East Indies were growing more since they reunited with the Southern Netherlands with the help of the Congress of Vienna.

(The link should of sent you straight to the year 1821. If not, then go to the boxes and put 1821 in one of them and push enter)

RULES
1. Standard RP rules apply, such as no godmodding, powerplaying, metagaming etc. Guild Rules apply as well.
2. Use Common Sense. It will take days to mobilize your national armed forces and weeks to go across the Atlantic Ocean.
2a. If you don't use common sense, you will be warned once. If you do it again, you get kicked out of the roleplay.
3. Arguments, that go overboard, aren't allowed on here. I want lighthearted debates going on. However, if you bitch at them, then I will have to ask you to stop the argument.
3a. If the argument turns into series of insults, then I will stop it and give you guys a good warning.
3b. If it keeps going, then I will just kick you guys out and you can bitch at each other in the private messages.
4. Try to write your posts as a collection of individuals not written like a summary of current news events.
4a. Why this rule exist? It's because it explores the world and the society in a better way than summarizing your events.
4b. If you have read any books by George RR Martin, then you will get what I am trying to reach for.
5. Declarations of War are final, and cannot be taken back. Only a Peace Treaty may resolve the conflict.
6. All Treaties must be GM approved - unless a simple Bi-lateral (a treaty strictly between two state parties. These two parties can be two states, or two international organizations, or one state and one international organization) trade treaty.
7. You can only play as civilized countries. That means that you can't play as the tribes/clans in Africa or in Asia.

9. Please put your nation sheets in hiders.
9a. Don't put your nation sheets in the character section until it's accepted.
9b. Don't claim for nations and if someone wants the same nation, you may post it. I will see who sheet is the best and accept them. You can try another nation, if your sheet wasn't picked.

DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

If you guys are talking about Batman Arkham Knight, I beat the game a couple days ago with 100% game completion. I am not going to tell you the ending, but I thought that it was a good way to end the Arkham series.

I really like this gif of Harley and her new design in Arkham Knight. It's a lot better than her design in Arkham City.

Gif

EDIT: I mean, look at this gif and tell me that her design changed for the better.

I am very interested in your Dragon Age plot. I take it that it would basically be Dragon Age: Origins?
