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

[Ralnis]

so I can start in 1493 then?

[Sorestia]

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

as the Nopealionihere going on.

the Nopealionihere

Nopealionihere

Wat.

I am laughing so hard I am in stitches.

[Parhe]

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.

The Cao* has not been accepted yet and I am inclined to take him off the map if he does not update his application soon.

And thank you Heiro.

There are reasons as to why I've not posted yet, which are fairly clear. Just doublechecking that you don't think I'm inactive.

I was thinking of adding a little cultural plot device that almost every European nation could use, so I had this idea for a writer to emerge in my nation, and his works are extremely popular to such a degree other nation's people(depending on how cultural they are) may enjoy a copy.

The text would also be fairly liberal for the time, so you could even do the whole book-burning thing if your uber-religious.(I'm looking at you, Denmark.)

I might try to include this into my IC. I'm always interested in trying to ruin my own country.

[Victorious Islands of Mitonesia]

"Sire Vincent Blanc, the Commander of the French East Indies Company(the only company that sends trade ships to Asia)"

Ok, no, No European nation does yet, and even if they did the second part is godmodding. However Kerb, since that seems to be your only mistake in the IC, albeit it is your only post so far, it is not much a big deal if you just omit that.

Anyway everyone just ignore that for now.

I advise that you Kerb, Mito and Brabrant bow a bit more to the suggestions of others. As much as I love the first two of you some people do not seem very happy and feel that some of y'alls actions threaten the RP in some form. Mito you can claim it and I am all fine with it but the map, as it works at the moment, only shows claims a nation actually has control over. My nation very well might claim the rest of Asia but I will not be painting it in unless the area is under my law. Also Mito it is still January of 1493 until in RL it is March the forth. Brabrantium I don't even understand your posting style... About the agreement you made with Boriem in the IC post you made I am going to assume you and he discussed it OOC through telegrams or whatever.

From now on could we please be more realistic about timing and such? As in settlement, colonization, and travel to and from the America.


@Fortunagen That sounds very interesting and I would like that, though I myself cannot force people to allow it in their nations. Regardless, if you attempt to perhaps others will make it work.


P.S. To everyone. Okay maybe the one RL day being a RL month is too strict but I personally feel we need some control of time. How about instead we do say one RL week is one or two IC year, keeping it more fluid and at a somewhat faster pace?

At least you explain it well. Okay, so Pixalize my colony. I think that two years a week is a pretty good choice as most active players will post more and there will be less need to timeskip but still do a RP which takes 1 year = 1 century.

[Novacom]

we shouldn't NEED to regulate time if some people weren't so insistent on painting the map green, some people actually want to take their time and RP out story opposed to waving the paintbrush around...

All ships are always prepped and ready and deployment is fast and viable if there is ever any threat. Every ship even small ships come with a locker stored with swords, bow weaponry like Crossbows, Bows, Longbows, etc, and guns which are the ship's armory. The Navy's top commander is the Supreme Commander of the Navy. All major officer ranks below him or in this order: Fleet Master, Captain, Lieutenant.

Accepted Cultures: (Up to 2 cultures, must be present in your territory)

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.

We discussed it in telegrams. The deal was that for a lump sum of money and technology we gave them half of an island and a tiny island on Nova Scotia.

Alright, so I plan on having my Sultan declare war on Athens in order to "drive out the infidels from our homeland!" But I want to know if Garwall is active enough to do so? (I think Garwall plays as Athenia, anyway)

He mentioned playing as Frisia but DM'ing as Athens as well I believe.

By "a tiny island on Nova Scotia" I was not sure so I guessed.

[Ralnis]

I just realized it will probably take me a decade or two IC in order to get to the first Islands west of my nation, and probably a few months to get to the other islands that are where the kingdom of Sibir is.
