Titanomachy [Out of Character]

Postby The Macabees » Mon Nov 03, 2014 7:17 pm

Titanomachy begins with a gradual buildup towards war between Scandinvans and I. Eventually, this could expand into something much more than that. Members of Greater Dienstand and Gholgoth are, of course, more than welcome to become part of this story. This invitation is open to other regions as well. But, the rules to 'membership' are somewhat complicated. The main objective is to create a high quality story, but this requires, inter alia, that no player be overwhelmed by the responsibility of taking part. For example, I just don't have the time for a story that forces me to rapidly respond to a large number of other players — the pace would just be too slow for anyone to bear and it'd be no fun for me. I'm sure other players have other non-NS responsibilities that limit their time as well. The main, or more accurately seed, thread (Titanomachy) will therefore be limited in the number of players involved. No hard limits have been set, and so far there's no other players who've been confirmed as participants other than Scand and I. We'll figure that out as we go.

The easiest way to become involved is through a...let's call it a branch thread. This thread would belong to the same umbrella, but would be largely independent in the sense of direction and constraints. An example: Randomtopia, in Gholgoth, decides to defend Scandinvans, but Averagejoestan, in Greater Dienstad, comes to the Golden Throne's aid by invading Randomtopia. This would be related to the war between Scand and I, but the thread would progress largely independently and the rules would be determined by the involved players. The total number of branch thread is bound only by the limits to our creativity, so don't be afraid to poke your toe in the water and throw an idea out there. The amount of ways to become involved in this storyline are almost unlimited, even if it's not necessarily with any existing thread (and many existing threads may likely be happy to have you).

If you'd like to speak directly with any of the involved players (for planning purposes or to ask how you can get involved), they can usually be found on #dienstad.

Greetings.
We are the Glorious Empire of the Scandinvans. Surrender or be destroyed. Your civilization has ended, your time is over. Your people will be assimilated into our Empire. Your technological distinctiveness shall be added to our own. Your culture shall be supplanted by our own. And your lands will be made into our lands.

"For five thousand years has our Empire endured. In war and peace we have thrived. Against overwhelming odds we evolved. No matter what we face we have always survived and grown. We shall always be triumphant." -Emperor Godfrey II

Just so that I can get my bearings straight:

1. Are you on the GD map? (edit: dumb question, I should have checked the map)
2. Is this a puppet of another account?

This'll help finding a way of getting you involved too.

Given my IC relationship with Scand and due to his relative proximity to my nation, I am likely going to defend him.

Just to establish this early on, the sides will be regulated, so how exactly people will defend each other depends on how we organize the different threads.

Just for reference, on which part of the continent is Palenque? I could see this involving me very early on, as both the highly populated territory if Taffy and the major military hub/trading stop of the Thachu Islands are the closest foreign lands that I can think if if, as I vaguely recall, the city is in the south. That area is a huuuuuge trading route for Gordonopia, and I imagine we wouldn't be too happy with pirates/slavers becoming significantly more powerful.

When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

Holy Marsh will likely use this opportunity to start hitting targets on its list- namely Scand and UWO, but probably Tiami as well. (This will open me up for the invasion of HM itself, so yay!)

Oops, I was supposed to edit the map I included in the post...In lieu of that, this map should have all the referenced cities. Moving forward I'll make sure to add all the landmarks referenced to the map.

By the way, I've been meaning to ask of what you want to do with Gathering Clouds. Do you want to keep that as part of Omnibellum, or would you be open to "transferring" it over to this umbrella?
