Would anyone be interested in a post-apocalyptic alternate history rp, set round 700 years after a nuclear war, with mid to late renaissance levels of technology for newly arisen states?

Perhaps. Would need more detail for definite interest or not though.

Well, 700 years of plague, technological regression, higher death rates, and a likely drop in literacy...

Spanish-English-Chinese descendant is spoken in California. I can promise that.

How on earth would you mix Chinese, English and Spanish? And how did the Chinese get there anyway?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographi ... _Americans

Out of those almost 5.6 million Asian Americans in California there are 1,474,707 Filipinos, 1,349,111 Chinese, 647,589 Vietnamese, 590,445 Indians, 505,225 Koreans, 428,14 Japanese, 109,928 Taiwanese, 102,317 Cambodians, 91,224 Hmong, 69,303 Laotians, 67,707 Thais, 53,474 Pakistanis, 39,506 Borneons, Sumatrans, and Indonesians, 17,978 Burmese, 11,929 Sri Lankans, 10,494 Bangladeshis, 6,231 Nepalese, 5,595 Malaysians, 4,993 Mongolians, 1,513 Singaporeans, 1,377 Okinawans, and 750 Bhutanese.
~4% out of a population of 38 million.
Considering California also has the most number of native Americans, African Americans, middle Eastern Americans, etc. I'm not sure why Chinese would really have any more influence than it does today, i.e. barely any.
edit: also, what sort of Chinese phrases? That's vaguely plausible, since Chinese does have a lot of good colloqualisms that could be translated, but accents is a no. That kind of stuff is barely learnt by most Chinese students, let alone a random populace with only 4% of them in possession of the usage of accents like that.

*shrug*
Not sure what else could go into the mix. English is about as mixed with other languages as it will ever be. It's certainly more mixed with other languages than back in the Cold War, when presumably California like the rest of the world got screwed up by apocalypse.

Oh, sorry, I thought he said that it was after USA-Soviets went nuke.

But anyway, English is very global already, and it's the global English that is spoken even in places with a much more homogeneous makeup than California.

But this is seven hundred years... Of likely continental contact with other nations at least.

Yes, most of which probably speak English. Languages tend to go haywire and get worn down to their basic nub, usage for communication, in hard circumstances. With English as global as it is, I don't see why it would evolve in a direction that makes it less useful for the bast majority (after all, I imagine almost all of the Chinese speak English, and it'd be much easier to learn English than try and impart some kind of influence on it to make it easier for them)

Contact was reestablished in about two fifty to three hundred after fall, I would recommend mixing more of the native American tongues rather than Chinese, as China was dealing with a war in Korea before ninety five percent of it's population was killed by mutated bubonic plague.

As far as pod, a Soviet-American exchange led to others exchanging nukes before a 20 year war. Then the mutated black death struck.

Who would be interested in a group-play political/military RP where you sign up as part of a team, and using Google maps to place units and important ships, conduct trade and diplomacy with other nations during the interwar era, taking place during 1937, maybe 1938 I haven't quite decided yet.

Main countries would be Eurocentric, with mayeb some American influence but mostly focusing on the buildup to WWII but with an AH vibe and giving players a map that is real-time with what they conduct.

Posting would be done as frequently as they wanted, but movements of military units would take place on a cycle, so once everyone has conducted their business we rotate the cycle forward a week. Or 3 days, still deciding.

Military engine in progress, but individual ships would be involved, land units grouped in Division level formations to ensure the map doesn't get too saturated.

Would focus on group play and player-formulated strategies, as seen with the introduction on NSG I noted that groups of players help mitigate inactivity, etc.

Interested, anyone?
