Destroyed the world in 26 days and 3 hours..... oops.

Though if I'm going to be honest the game kinda forces stupid decisions on you, like why would I suddenly run towards the nearest international airport (which is about six or seven hours away) when the hospital it forced me to go to was only two hours away from my home? Which adds an even bigger question as to why it would send me too a city that far away.

sin counter on this simulation is adding up!

I have a feeling patient zero is the first one to die, and you take control of another person fleeing the chaos.

It kind of works. It's like my plague doctor is looking at yours, and yours is calling me a degenerate.

Which is fairly accurate.

Then it made me go to Philly for the airport there, even though there's a smaller airport in Trenton...

Lol, it brought me to a rehab centre a little over two hours away, when the nearest hospital in the capital of my province is only a little over thirty minutes away.

Might be because Trenton airport isn't international.

26 Days and I live in a county of 100,000 by a major population center of 500,000ish.

It pulled me all the way past a hospital to put me in that ghetto of a population center 40 minutes away, instead of the one 5 minutes away in the same direction.

That's exactly why. But from the list of destinations it gave me from Philly, I coulda gone to most of the East Coast ones from Trenton.

Well we're probably over analyzing what really a promotional simulator for another game.

Hey there guys. I know I haven't been super active in the Pub revently, mostly because my time's been dedicated to in-region RPs and my rocky educational and personal life. And I also know that I promised myself after the failure of my last RP that I'd stop trying these.

But I suppose this is an exception, since I have been working on it for about a year. Regardless, it's still pretty WIP and a lot still has to be figured out, but I figured that I'd announce it on here and accompany it with Paradox-esque Developmental Diaries either in this thread (if OP allows) or on its own, separate thread. Either way, I just thought I'd give anyone who may be interested a heads-up.

What the project is bears the working title Ozymandias: The Great Campaign and is a demi-strategy RP set literally at the dawn of time. The intention of the RP is for player characters to create (or inherit) civilizations or tribes in the Fertile Crescent/Ancient Near East in the year 3000 BCE and develop those civilizations as they're shaped by their own, other PC's, and outside history.

I don't want to get too into the mechanics now, partially because I'll be describing a lot of them later and partially because they're definitely subject to change. Civilizations will rise and fall, but their legacies will last forever.

Anyways, thought I'd put that on the table. You'll all hear from me soon about the whole ordeal.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Seen ideas similar to this a few times before around P2TM. Ultimately out of those discussions there was an rp once, except it started a little closer to modern day and in a bit of a larger area. Showed some promise, but like many things, it was hard to maintain player commitment. I'd think something starting in 3000 BCE would take quite at least a few quite dedicated members to stand a chance at lasting. Personally I'm a little slow when it comes to rps with dedicated mechanics. I wish you luck all the same.

Personally I'm a little slow when it comes to rps with dedicated mechanics. I wish you luck all the same.

Player commitment is an issue across all RPs, not just civilization-focused ones. However, civilizations are not guaranteed to stand the test of time, not even player-controlled ones. If a player can't or won't participate after signing up, their civilization will just begin to crumble into ash. Of course, dedicated players who lose their civilizations are allowed to make new ones for the next era. Again, the mechanics are far from set in stone.

But I've OP'd and participated in a number of related RPs, and each one of them has given me at least a semblance of experience in the topic and the area, and I hope that what I create will actually be both fun and balanced enough to retain players.
