Europa Universalis: New World (Alternate Earth: OOC/Open)

[Great Nepal]

Me and Parhe have been discussing the current model of the passage of time, and we've decided to edit it a little bit to make it less restrictive, and keep things on an even pace. From now on, generally each RL day will equal a rough month of time in the IC. Comments, suggestions, concerns, etc. are all welcome.

That means to get through this century, RP would need to go on for 3.2 years...

[Victorious Islands of Mitonesia]

Nepal what the hell. Sancho didn't exist in this world.

Since there was no mention of anything in 1100s, I thought it was the same. Who was second king of Portugal and his father, mother? I will edit it accordingly.

You can't know what I'm going to do. I can be more unpredictable than you think but you gave me good ideas.

Of course not. 90% of information in that letter is lies including the thing about you trying to control strait designed for scaremongering.

It was Henrique I and then Henrique II, but it was his brother who came after him so I think your theory has pretty much gone down. I'll se the name of the mother if you still want.

What about a week equals an year. That's enough to create 1 long post where you write all the necessary information for that century.

This Henrique I?

That still means RP would need to last for 2 years to get through this century.
If we are pegging RP to RL time, perhaps 1 day = 1 year will be better: 3.3 months to get through this century.

Except you can't act on information you don't know in character. That would be godmodding, which is strictly forbidden.

[url=http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrique_I_de_Portugal]This Hent's enough to create 1 long post.

Nope. And what about 4 days = 1 year. I think 1 day=1 year is too quick

And making up stuff which has no sense isn't ?

[Great Nepal]

Nope.

Okay, who is the second king of Portugal who current ruler can track his ancestry back to and that guy's dad?

And what about 4 days = 1 year. I think 1 day=1 year is too quick

That still means 13 months, but with appropriate time skips, that could be plausible.

He can say that was ideas of his ruler and lies actually were true. Possibility of that is low but not impossible. Obviously, he cant send you letter saying "what ever British told you is lie".
Although, that will just show the world that British intelligence was true and calls current king's legitimacy into question.

It's not, when it is in character and intended to be bending the truth. You can lie in order to further your goals, just as Nepal is doing.

BTW, Nepal, I'll write you an answer later today. The Doge is busy entertaining guests.

And I'll only have to make one post per week? Cool. This RP will finally be as slow as the others. (In other RPs, the IC has 1-2 total posts/day.)

But, we want to cover up to 1900s, that will take us 14 RL years and IC isn't going that fast...

Sure, just as long as you reply with yes.

Yes, I know that sarcasm and jokes can't be understood through the internet. Sorry.

There's no way an opportunistic SOB like Niccolò would pass your offer.

Brief Description of your nation's History: Do I have to use the NPC's History?
Brief Description of your nation's economy: The economy focuses mainly on the pure survival of the nation. One of the biggest focuses in Sparta is of the military, for the fact that there are much bigger surrounding nations, and all males are required to be ready for combat service. Trading in gunpowder, the Spartan Army is very much well equipped, and the navy is also a backbone of the countries' main defense economy. The government also focuses highly on Farming which feeds the hungry stomachs of factory workers and military recruits and officers.
Brief Description of your nation's government: The government of Sparta is supremely ruled by the King. He is the word of the people. But since Sparta is a militaristic nation, if the King is found to be corrupt, that is the case and one of the only cases where the people and military may overthrow him. Examples of corruption are siding with enemy nations betraying the nation's official current religion, siding with rebels, insurrectionists, mercenaries which are all illegal in Sparta. Other examples include gambling, extortion, racketeering and any other illegal activies. The King's advisors of both politics and military strategy or otherwise known as the "King's Court" are made up of 12 politicians each representing one of the 12 major regions of Sparta. Other political advisors and departments are also figured in. The King's Court includes the following:
-King (Overall Ruler, plus Commander in Chief of Army)
-12 Representatives (Voice opinions of people)
-Minister of Treasury
-Minister of Religion (Much like the Pope)
-Minister of Economics
-Minister of Trade
-Minister of Agriculture
-10 Generals
-3 Fleet Masters
-1 Supreme Commander of the Navy (Lower than Chieftain and King)
-3 Field Marshals
-1 Chieftain (Chief of Staff)

Brief Description of your nation's populace:The People of Sparta are a fairly happy, fairly treated people; so long as the government is happy. The military has more respect and dominance than the overall population and Military forces are ALWAYS on duty. Women are considered to be of equal fighting strength of men but common skepticalism says otherwise. Though most women are happy in farming or houskeeping or working in the factories, they are given the option to serve in the military. The Kingdom's populace depends on the military highly to keep it safe. Though there are several groups that want to bring the king down and his military shatter all of the great Kingdom's accomplishments and bring whatever sick type of government that could be better than the overall fair system of the current Kingdom. These groups can consist of Mercenaries, Rebels, or all around Drunks with a few handy guns in hand. The kingdom overall though is happy, enthused, and ready for whatever comes there way.

A few things, there are cultural things I do not understand because I'm not really a wiz about culture and all that. Also, I know we have guns that are like muskets. Obviously the Aquebus was an early type of musket. Are we allowed to have handheld weaponry such as something like a Flintlock Pistol??? Thank you.

You're allowed to have another Focus and Idea.

Your population is too high IMO. I'd also like a more detailed description of your naval forces.

Sparta used to be played by somebody, so you'll have to stick to his history.

And no, flintlocks don't exist yet.

[Transoxthraxia]

So where's this other Norse guy.

Here.

Did you get my TG?

[Jamzmania]

Me too.

[Horusland]

Trans, your new flag is awesome!

[Len Hyet]

Hey Mav, hope that was okay with you, if not I can change it

[Boriem]

Here.

Did you get my TG?

No, I didn't, what was the content of this TG?

[The Vaktovian Empire]

Ok I would like The Pen for my last focus and printing press as my last idea. What more do you need to know about my Navy? And I will be fine answering to any previous disputes with the old player with whatever he did IC but my government system will not change and neither will the description of the populace. I should say that..... the government changed.... the people changed? But I would like to keep my population as it is. I only have 60000 in the military. Plus there are much bigger empires around me. I will not ask it to be raised more than 20000 a year though like I originally posted.

[Novacom]

The IC is going at a good pace, a page being an IC month looks good (if character RP's happen in another thread well wars too, if nothing happens for a bit we could agree to move on a bit as there will be periods where much doesn't happen) the only things it's inconvenient for are people wanting to build colonial empires when the new world has barely been discovered.

Call me Mon, and it's fine. Though, my people are from Africa, so not white.

Do you mind if I call you Mond instead? I already know a Mon (Monfox) and if I start calling two people Mon it'll confuse my tiny brain
