Under the Crimson Skies [OOC][Steampunk][Closed]

[Mauretania Tingitana]

Look, the O.P. has already forbidden it and I and several other players have expressed our desire to not have automated soldiers. It is far too easy to overpower them. You build more of them, they never say no or feel morale, etc. Then you'll advance them in the R.P. to the point where they're unstoppable. I say no robo-soldiers.

Are you trying to call me a God-modder before the RP has even begun? Why can't I be allowed ~700 000 Mechanical Soldiers when you can mobilize 5 000 000 Human Soldiers?

Stop trying to overblow them, they're nowhere near as overpowered as you.

They have great potential to be Godmodded. By anyone. Please, just accept majority rule and let it go.

[East Vlaricstan]

Everyone, chill.

I'll put up a poll whether to allow mechanical troops.

Also, populations may change when we get the map up, depending on claimed land.

(Purely a brainstorm) Would you be against using a R.L. map, just with different placenames?

Please, tell me this potential that apparently I have no choice to comply with. You don't think that 5 million troops is overpowered, but less than a million stumbling automatons is?

Majority rule is not always right.

The O.P. said he would put it to a vote.

You're still ignoring the issue of free will here; I don't care if they have "potential" to be Overpowered, everything does. But I've said that I'll promise to not use them in a godmodding way; alright? What's wrong with that?

If you don't comply with whatever will be the O.P.'s decision I'm assuming you won't be allowed to play. It's that simple.

Are you just deliberately ignoring all my arguments?

It's out of my hands! I have no authority! The O.P. said it will be voted on, so it will be voted on!

[The Dijel]

The vote was a great idea, just as long as everyone agrees to follow the results. And could I point out that the whole idea of the points thing was to get players to trade-off abilities:

I have a very large reserve army BUT their training and equipment is highly questionable,

One of the other guys has 700,000 robotic soldiers, who are fallable, BUT only 300,000 human troops,

The point is that you have to give and take; yes, there is potential for abuse, but as long as everyone is sensable and respectful we should have no problems.

I have no qualms with that.

I suggest we drop it for now and wait for the voting.

Custom map. My laptop is miraculously working again, so maybe tomorrow I can try my hand at mapmaking.

I still don't see why; like he said; it is a give-or-take situation and I think that it balances out. Also, voting situations like this do not work because of outside influence.

I don't see why people who aren't joining would take time to vote.

Map will be ready tomorrow or the day after that, depending whether or not my computer feels like it.

[The Dijel]

So roughly when do you reckon we'll be able to start?

[East Vlaricstan]

When we get ten members or Saturday, whichever comes first.

[Fowlick]

I thought I was accepted.

[East Vlaricstan]

Whoops. Edited.

[SuperHappySmileyWorld]

Posting to show interest, and despite my... less than stellar mapping abilities, I will try

App to come shortly enough

[United Soviet Jason Republic]

Ya my mapping idea didn't work so ya... How does one get the link for a map?

[Fowlick]

Here are instructions for using that site I posted.

1) go to site
2)add whatever specs, and take off labeling and hex view
3)wait for map to be made
4)Once map is made save it to computer
5)take saved image through paint, shrink it to be under 9000 pixels, and label as you wish.
6)After editing image and saving it, upload it to a photo sharing site(pixlr, photobucket, maybe deviantart)
7)copy image URL of that final image and put it in here with the img bbcode

Wow, what a shitstorm robots caused. I was arguing against them because they're impractical, not OP.

Yep, you said it, a bigger shit-storm in a pint glass I never saw. But I really do not want to drag this whole thing up again too soon, I'd rather just work around.

Looking forward to seeing the map and getting started, this is the first proper RP I've participated in.

I would say watch a master do his work, but I'm not a master, and a master builds walls of text on a weekly basis.

Are there any Commuism countries in this RP?
