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

[Novacom]

I fail to see the problem with being in 1492, if people want to move on faster then we're in the wrong time period things were slow in this period and realism in wanting to slow down the unrealistic desperate scrambling for the new world isn't a bad thing

[Heirosoloa]

So, more math:

1. Let's choose 1950 just as an arbitrary end date.
2. Let's use 1493 as our initial date.
3. Let's say we want to get through the entirety of the RP in either six months or one year.


Six Months:

1950—1493=457 years.
457 years* 12 months/year=5484 months.
5484 IC months/6 IRL months=915 IC/IRL months.
915/4 weeks/month=228.5 IC months/IRL week.
228.5/7 days/week=32.6 IC months/IRL day.

Twelve Months:

1950—1493=457 years.
457 years* 12 months/year=5484 IC months.
5484/12 months/year=457 IC/IRL months.
457/4 weeks/month=114.25 IC months/IRL weeks.
114.24/7 days/week=16.32 IC months/IRL day.

There's going to be a lot of timeskipping involved, methinks.
Or, this will die in the next two weeks.

I personally detest the idea of over a year passing by in a single IC day, leaves no room for story or even much in the way of detail.

[Fortunagen]

I feel that we might have to skip certain decades at current points. :/
Of course, we will all need to come an agreement on this, so it looks like we have ourselves a mini-Sequester.

Ideas?

[Ralnis]

I think we should skip to the1600s or 1700s so we can have a more colonial and European stage, as the Nopealionihere going on.

[Mondrova]

You can't live on Sugarcane and nothing else, not to mention that claimed area is absurdly large the largest size colony or settlement anybody could reasonably have would be a single coloured pixel at the moment.

Someone already told you that you can't say what the natives did.

Ok, my colony would be that size or even smaller but as they explored that land, mapped it and. declared its existence to the King I think it is considered my land or is it?

Well, your claiming the land would have an immediate problem anyway. I did post in response to that map when you linked it, that my own expedition is in the same area. There mapping and charting out the area and recording whatever they think is important, like edible foods and animals, so a second journey will be easier. Now, I don't know how much time has passed on your end, but even if our two groups had not met, the Empire will be sending its own colonial bandwagon to this area.

Ideas?

I say each time someone posts they put a date at the top. The next person to post should respect that date. The next post someone makes should be on that same day unless they have a good reason to do so. A battle for instant between two nations. If a third party knows the battle is taking place, even if they are not involved and are posting something seperate till the people who are having the battle change the date either or. Of course this system has to be fair so there has to be a certain term of RESPECT among everyone who posts. Addition al thoughts to this idea may be added on. Just saying something that sometimes worked for me in RPs ive been OP in.

[Brabrantium]

Heavens no we're not going to skip!

if we skip too much, we wont make any progress!

That's why I suggested my idea.

as the Nopealionihere going on.

Which will end badly because it becomes a game of one-upmanship with people advancing things forward that suits their own purposes and nobody else's, case in point some people are having a character RP set at Christmas 1492 and then someone has casually shifted things forward by half a year while said character piece is still going on.

On the other hand, it's good at countering the rampant inactivity - The Chu and Goguryean haven't even posted yet, and I don't think they will anytime soon.

Parhe's active in the OoC, although I think he's stayed out of the IC because his laptop is broken.

[Novacom]

Speeding things up based on inactives won't do much if it pisses of those who are active, especially as if they were going to be active they would have posted by now...

[The Vaktovian Empire]

I'm active its that I'm waiting for aye to officially accept my app when I can actually edit it later today.

[Novacom]

Just edit it up and finish it so he can look at it and accept it, he can't accept something that isn't finished and he doesn't need to be online for you to finish it either. Though for reference when I saw your app the one thing that leaps out at me is population growth rate, it's done by a percentage at 0.3 percent or lower needing one more national idea and focus and of course history.

[Great Nepal]

Since it seems British first contact will be with NPC, anyone neutral want to say how native nation would react to the terms cos me saying they would accept it would kinda be unfair and bit of god-mod.

1. Native nation will swear oath of fealty to Empire of Britannia.
2. Native nation shall retain rights to domestic policy and foreign policy with other natives of the new world. Diplomatic policy with non-natives will be handled by the Empire.
3. Native nation will recognise Archbishop of Britannia as God's true representative however religion of natives shall be discussed at latter date.
4. Native nation shall provide Empire of Britannia with ten warships a year and ten slaves a month as homage.
5. Native nation's laws and tradition will be respected within the borders of the native nation.
6. Citizens and army of the empire shall be allowed free pass through the native nation's borders.
7. Gunpowder weapons will be provided to the native nation at 5% above the cost.
8. Appropriate amount and type of weaponry shall be provided to the native nation by the empire for defence of the native nation.
9. Laws passed by parliament of empire shall not be binding on the native nation however imperial edicts shall be.
10. Emperor shall appoint one person who shall live in the native nation and serve as grand advisor to the leader of native nation,
11. Empire shall be given right to recruit natives into its armed forces provided Empire pays for training, weaponry and salary.
12. Currency of the Empire shall be accepted in the native nation.
13. Infrastructure and machinery shall be provided by the Empire at request of native government provided native nation.
14. Mining operation shall be carried out on native nation's territories and the produce shall be shared at ratio of 40:50 to native and empire respectively. Machinery for this will be provided by the Empire and natives shall be employed.
15. Native nation's territorial integrity shall be respected by the empire.

Just for reference, native nation is between chaconee and skrael.

[Ralnis]

what year is the IC, cause I see 1500 and 1493.

[Chemaki]

1628.

[Ralnis]

really it is 1628?

[Novacom]

give it a few posts and someone will have timeskipped that far...

As for that treaty Nepal it strikes me as having being written for the wrong century, if it had been the 1600's it would look good but there's just too much there that just wouldn't be accepted or even make sense to be accepted by a tribe at this point, now if this were an Indian city State that would be more fitting but not a north american tribe in the 1500's

Ok then growth rate I should switch to what? I also wanted seafaring and printing press. I wanted to make more history but aye said I needed to follow the other guys history who played this. Thing J's I don't know as he did all that much or not because I really wanted to make my own history.

[Parhe]

really it is 1628?

No...

[Novacom]

Brabant you were already told you couldn't metagame the natives selling you that land...
