AWRP: Building a better Roleplay (Interest check)

[Boriem]

By the way, guys, when you're laying colonial claims, don't forget about coaling stations. Older coal fueled ships needed to load more every few weeks, and a ship sailing from England to India wouldn't be able to make it past Cape Town without recoaling. Not that you need to claim the whole territory patch to represent this, but perhaps some large dots.

By the way, is there a Suez Canal?

It's really up to Chemaki at the moment.

[Lolzieristan]

Wow. It seems like there's a major discrepancy between this and the site suggested earlier, according to it Russia's 1910 population was about eighty five million or so.

I think you misread that as the US population. In both cases, the Russian population is 100 million +

Oh, derp. I misread the chart, that was 1830. I'm going to go adjust my app now.

EDIT: I'm still underpopulating it, because my Russia is less urbanized.

None of these really represent my nation, what would you guys say is a good population?

Would the Ottomans even have the money at this point to afford build it?

[The Nuclear Fist]

Fifteen million, I suppose.

And you are...?

Really? Wow, I went for 1.3 million. Maybe I should reconsider.

And you are...?

Tuareg Confederation of Azawagh....

Hmm...try looking into information on the colonial holdings that correlate to the places you control.

Try looking at this.

Tuareg Confederation of Azawagh....

Then I probably wouldn't know, Wikipedia says their are 1.2 million modern day speakers of the language so I don't have a clue, maybe 3 million? Considering you have more land and it isn't just one ethnic group...

[The Nuclear Fist]

Typo. Meant 5 million.

Yeah, 1.2 million Tuareg now, but this includes a lot of others. About 70% aren't even Tuareg, so assuming there were 0.6 million Tuareg at the time that gives us 1.5 million.

But maybe I could bring in about 2 million more, seeing as they've got industry around the oases.

I think you should do 3.something million as small pop nations are not fun to be playing, unless they excel at a certain field, and not sure about you so I'd suggest moving it up a bit.

With the huge rate at which the Ottoman Confederacy has been industrializing over the past 50 years, I'd say there's probably an equivalent around the Siani peninsula to service us (and other nations, to an extent). I'll go into details tomorrow.

If Garwall doesn't mind me editing my app, I probably will actually. It can be explain pretty easily by the industrialisation and Bedouin immigration.

Either way, we'll be bringing in lots more people over the next few years.

I'd give you a population of 9 million.

[Kamchatkalia]

Okay then, it seems the my cousin is taking a map, I think I'm going to start finishing up my app.

[Costa Fiero]

By the way, is there a Suez Canal?

There is a Panama Canal under construction.

It isn't entirely up-to-date though, or well for my claims, I have Sardinia and the Coast of Angola and Namibia, which I have tg'd Gar multiple about without a response...

..I haven't gotten a single telegram from you regarding the territories in question.

Also, as a side note, I noticed that almost all of us import grain without all that many nations exporting it. Someone's going to have to make an agricultural nation someday, perhaps one of the American states.

That's what you noticed? I think the rubber problem stands out a bit more.

I hear there's a lot of rubber in Asia and Africa.

oooh, good point. And rubber would be....Neros' empire? Or the Sinobriton one?

Edit: All this talk of nations reminds me---Garwall, are you going to make that Irish/ASU skirmishing post tonight, or later?

[Costa Fiero]

I hear there's a lot of rubber in Asia and Africa.

There's also a lot of rubber coming out of Central and South America.

Also, guys, this is an RP group. So that means if you have an event that you think's worthy of being a thread for everyone to participate in, then go and make an IC thread for it. Don't just stand here looking at eachother like idiots. I'm just kind of chilling in 'Murica right now, might hold an International meeting for Communists/Socialists and the like.

Well, I'm being France, and that means, walls and hiding.
