A New Kind of War (Official OOC/OPEN)

[Stoklomolvi]

I made a map: https://imgur.com/Ltg8yB3.png

[Durzan]

I'm guessing that this RP is dead in the water?

[Stoklomolvi]

Well, considering that only you and I have posted in ages, probably. Shame, too, since I just got that map done.

[Old Beringia]

Not quite

Edit: I didn't date the happenings in my post but it's all in late April.

[Durzan]

But hat about the host and the GS? The host has the files needed to alter the map, and the GS is responsible for handling the restrictions of other nations. The game stalls if one or both of them go awol.

also, most other nations haven’t posted in two weeks, which means they should,be fallen apart by now.

[Old Beringia]

I suppose that is a problem then, seeing as we'd at least need those two. Others could be replaced though...

Edit: New Min is out.

Welp, that makes sense. I take it that You will take over New Min?

Yeah. I'd rp it of course if we're continuing.

Is still open? I'd like to play.

New blood is definitely welcomed. Though I'm not op so I can't accept your.

Maybe we can do a sort of soft reboot of the thread. Keep what we have but add new people in

I'm up for that... only problem is I'd need to create a new world map. I never got a copy from the OP that I could upload and change. I was named Co-Op, so starting a new thread would be the logical thing to do. I could assume the role of OP (though I didn't do that before cause honestly its a pain in the butt to run things), and we could get new people involved.

I'd help in any way I could. OP had an interesting premise and it sucks to see it fizzle before it had a chance to get off the ground.

[Stoklomolvi]

It may be possible for me to create a new map, but... it'd take a few days.

I can make a new map from scratch. It won't have the same design as the original (it be almost impossible to replicate), but it can work.

Okay, got a working map ready.

Sorry for my inactivity, but my sister has been in a horrible car accident and is in the hospital. I will not be able to post for a few more days but Durzan is allowed to take over the RP until I have an opportunity to post again.

Sorry for your sister, hope she recovers.

Can I get a copy of the original .map file for the map maker? We got several people who have been inactive for more than 2 weeks, and we have at least one person who wishes to join. The map needs to be updated accordingly. Also, even with me in charge of the RP, our GS has become inactive as well.

Jesus, I wish only the best for you, your sister, and the rest of your family. I hope for the best possible recovery.

Sorry to hear about that. I wish your sister the best recovery. Don't worry about things here

Hey, I noticed that your nation's population is WAYYY bigger than the one you listed here. Mind explaining that?

I like the challenge.

Fair enough.

[Durzan]

As Co-Op, I noticed that there are a few issues that need to be taken care of.

UCP and the World Map: First, is the fact that since UCP has other business to attend to, and we have a new player wishing to join, that means we have to update the world map. Since he hasn't sent me a copy of the .map file for the World Map (So I can edit it and update it when he isn't available to do so), I will be using this map as a temporary work around. I tried my best to mimic the design of the original map, but ended up taking quite a few liberties with it. This will cause discrepancies, so please be willing to work with them. When UCP is able to update the original map (or grants me the files to do so), I will be willing to switch back.

I have taken the liberty to color code nations. All active nations (or nations of the OP or Co-Op) will be colored a non-grey or non-white color. NPC Nations, Abandoned Nations, and Inactive Nations will be colored various shades of Grey. Should an inactive nation become active again by making an IC post and an OOC post in the near future, then I will change their color back to normal.

The Global Society: Atrat was our GS (AKA, our effective Game Master) and has gone MIA, effectively grinding the already puddling RP to a grinding halt. He hasn't been seen on NationStates in 25 days (look at his nation's activities), and as a result, his nation is likely to be deleted if he doesn't act soon. Furthermore, he has been posting even more sporadically in the RP than I have, and his attempts to stir things up have had their problems. Since this game cannot run without someone controlling the NPC's and working to create conflict, I think we need someone to step up and do that.

HOWEVER, as we just witnessed these past few months, if the role of GS is delegated to a singular person and that person only, then the game comes to a screeching halt everytime that person gets bored, abandons the game, whenever something comes up for them, etc. Thus I propose that we have multiple people who can act as GS's, who can work together to weave a working story, that way, things can keep moving if something happens to one of them. Since it is the job of the OP (and by extension, the Co-Op), to ensure that the game remains running and is fun for those who are playing, they logically should have the ability to take up the role of a GS when necessary, even if they are currently running a nation. However, even then, the OP and Co-Op cannot do everything themselves, so it would make sense for them (and the Head GS) to be able to appoint additional GS's to fill the roles as needed, either temporarily (IE, deputizing a player) or permanently.

Ideally, a GS should be neutral and non-biased and shouldn't have control over a nation; however, there are only 3 regularly active players currently in this roleplay and recruiting new players who are willing to be a GS would be time consuming and we need to get this up and running anyway. Thus I hereby temporarily deputize Stocklomolvi and Old Beringia to act as Temp Deputy GS's, at least until official GS's can be appointed.

NPC Issues: All nations that have been inactive for 2 or more weeks shall become NPC nations instead of falling apart automatically. Other players may take actions to destabilize them enough to easily conquer or annex, but should that not happen, they shall remain unless a new nation joins the game and there is not enough space for them in empty land. The OP's nation shall be immune to these clauses.

As Co-Op I hereby officially do the following:

• Officially Grant/Acknowledge that the OP and Co-Op have the power and responsibility to act as though they were the GS, when neccesary.
• Allow more than one person to fill the roll of GS at the same time (though one must be appointed as Head GS), and allow players to be temporarily "deputized" to the position of GS.
• Temporarily Deputize Stoklomolvi and Old Beringia as GS/
• The United Konfederacy of Togeria has been approved and added to the new World Map as a normal player.
• All PC Nations that haven't had a post from their players are now NPC Nations.
• Two NPC Nations have been created: West Ares (A nation that was once one nation with East Ares, but when unsolvable differences occurred in their desires for government, they split... becoming two separate nations), and the Opique Federation (A nation formed from a portion of the more radical Opique Native Tribes. This nation is not officially recognized by any of the local powers, as it claims land that technically belongs to the surrounding nations. Note: it isn't an actual nation of its own, I just created it out of convenience for the Opique Nation plot thread)
• Scale of the world has been increased and expanded; world map has been changed for technical reasons.
• The nation of Jackania has been subsumed into the Empire of Durzan, and all conflicts contained within that area will have been resolved offscreen. Likewise, New Min has been absorbed into the Empire of Old Beringia, and all conflicts contained within that area will have been resolved offscreen. This is just to simplify and condense these issues down. If the nations involved wish to roleplay additional problems regarding the integration, that is there prerogative.

Two questions:

Could I raise my population up slightly to about 75,000,000-90,000,000?

And than on the map can I have some of the blank land above Old Beringa? Where the lakes are? I don’t mind being inland or landlocked

Sure on the population increase... I'd say up to 100 Million would be fair. On the land over Old Berengia, I can move you over there and give you additional land no problem.
