AWRP: Building a better Roleplay (Interest check)

[Mishmahig]

Well, considering the UCSA has ships heading for Ireland (maybe), the Knights of Malta are going to send something, and Spain practically declared war........yeah.

Anyways, yeah, the IC thing will get set up shortly, once my headache goes away. Sorry about the delay.

I'm hoping the pope directly intervenes so I have a reason to invade...

Woah there, hold your horses. We're not doing the full-scale world wars yet. Now's the time for colonialism, posturing, conferences, maybe some border wars, but nothing major.

Also, @Carathon, I thought he was Austria?

Herp derp on me, he is. I confused him with Prussia.

I hope you guys start getting involved in African colonization after this Irish thing is over.

The Hospitaller Colony of St. Johns on the Cuanza. *nod*

I just put up a news article about the Conference Concerning Colonialism, which lists the nations invited. However I don't know how to put up a thread for it. And Mendachuva, who are you because I don't see your name in the nation list and I haven't seen you on here. Anyway if you are a supporter of colonizing Africa I already know our nations will have problems.

Going to make my Indian IC. Hold on...

Here I am

[Madredia]

Oh I see. Make sure you get on the map. Our nations will most likely have a lot of problems, because you encourage colonialism and because we would rather there be one powerful Zulu nation, and no Boers. I am the Empire of Benin, on the first page of the Victoria Earth thread.

To make a thread:
1. Go to the forum in question. In this case, Portal To the Multiverse.
2. Beneath the forum name but above the list of threads is a button that says "NEW TOPIC". Click that.
3. Write your OP for the thread in the same way that you would write a general post, only with a subject header this time.

[Madredia]

Thanks. So then do I just ask Gar to tag it to the thread?

[The Nuclear Fist]

I'd imagine so, yes.

[Mishmahig]

Okay, my head is better, so I'm making the Irish IC thread. The opening post will just be a repost of the newspaper-style post I made detailing the declaration of war, but after that we should switch into the regular mode of posting. Sound good?

Make a comment if you want. I don't see too many people getting involved.

Hey Mishmaig, I've made the article about the Conference Concerning Colonialism. You're one of the nations invited.

Oh good. Do you have a link?


Also, for all concerned/relevant nations:http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=193995

[Madredia]

Yeah I do, I'll give it to you, but I dont want to start posting until more of the invitees know, viewtopic.php?f=31&t=193991
BTW do you know what the RP time to Real Time ratio is?

Well, that's why people date their posts, so we get a general clue. For the Tickertape one, months pass quickly. For the conference, the entire thing will be a few days in RP time and maybe a day or two IRL. The Irish situation will fall between the two in terms of timing.

In the end, I suppose it's just up to the people in each thread, which is the advantage to group threads like this. If we had one giant thread, then people could still be debating the conference while I steamrolled over Ireland and other people are in the 1920s.

[Madredia]

Yeah what I meant was actually the tickertape. Because at the rate that thing moves, what if it gets like into the 1960s, while in other threads we haven't finished 1930 events. Our news posts would be distorted.

[The Nuclear Fist]

I honestly think that once we reach the year 1911 in our newspaper articles, we should cool it for a bit. Go day by day, so we're not in modern times by the end of the month.

It'll slow down as people begin to separate into the IC threads for individual events. For example, I won't be making many TickerTape posts now, because I'll be focused on the Irish thing, as well as the Benin conference. The same thing will occur with the situation in India/Afghanistan, and any other conflicts. There's just this initial rush to get events underway.

[Mendachuva]

I feel like there's some confusion about the dates right now.

Is it early June, or is it mid-May?

I think it's July...

Actually, so many people jumped a few weeks ahead that we're in July now, I think.

That should be a thing---look at the post before you and add a day, two or three at the most. Don't skip weeks.

Oh, that's what I meant, sorry.

I just saw a couple posts in the ticker from mid-May. What's with that?
