IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Additionally, I have noticed a lot of posts telling newer members things like "Read the first posts" or "that claim can't work" or whatever else. While I appreciate the help you are providing please refrain from acting as administrations on Earth II. Some of the information you have provided to newer members may have been true but there have also been instances of incorrect information given. Brink and Layarteb are the moderators and the only individuals who should be instructing new members joining. Thank you for the help and double thanks to your compliance. Future acts of this may result in unnecessary assholitude by one of us and your embarassment.

If you have completed your claims and they are not reflected on either the claims list or the spreadsheet there might be a reason for that so this pertains to you. If you claimed with a single post then that's a major reason. RPs for claiming have no definite size requirements but they have to be "of substance" so make it good. If you have done this but haven't informed us, that's another reason. Post the claim you used and say what's done. There's 40+ threads, we can't monitor them all. Is spreadsheet information missing? Until your spreadsheet information is complete, claims aren't awarded. Have you posted an RP for them yet? All claims (save for those traded) require an RP. If you have one post the link otherwise it isn't recognized. Was it a trade? If it was, ALL PARTIES involved must post their affirmation of it.

So on the next update, any thread without a reply for more than 14 days will be removed from the list. If it was a claim RP and there are plenty of them and it's just a shoddy attempt at a claim it's going to be dismissed and the claim removed. This applies to pending AND active members alike. So check the claims list. If you have pending claims, this is an FYI to you. Don't whine next time when you see your claim yanked away. Fair warning!!!

[Layarteb]

Actually the claim and what you have already exceeds 1,050,000 mi² so it needs to be edited before it can be added.

Could I continue the tread, so when I have enough pop it will be okay? Cause I am going to drag this out for a long time.

Negative. Claim has to be revised to something within your max limit.

Okay, well I relinquish my claim for the Saudi Provinces, and Iran.

You'd be good there. FYI I have a base at Incirlik so we'll have to address that in the RP.

[Arnhelm]

I am not claiming anything within Saudi Arabia at this time(I changed my mind), and I will claim Bushehr, Fars, and Hormozgan. Thread will be up sometime.

[Layarteb]

Alright so Saudi remains uncontested. For now...

[Layarteb]

So there's only 12 sign ups to World Cup 4. C'mon sign up people!!! It's effing fun!

[Areona]

Alright so Saudi remains uncontested. For now...

For now the oil rich kingdom remains firmly under Areona control... In fact I'm planning on turning Oman and Yemen into huge solar panels to provide power for my entire nation and leave them more as strategic reserves and let Saudi Arabia and Afghan/Pakistan be my oil production.

Also I'm planning on creating a space launch facility in southern Oman. Be good to use all the oil profits for something.

Good ideas.

[Cotland]

Dropping my claims to Smolensk, Bryansk and Kaluga.

[Arnhelm]

So sad, Operation Snowfuck has come to an end.

[Abruzi]

Just to let everyone know, my shift in government has finally come!

[Cotland]

Abruzi, don't take this the wrong way, but I think your posts could improve greatly both in reader appeal and for your own ease if you start using proper capitalization and divide your posts into paragraphs instead of having one massive wall of text per post. If you take these simple steps, I think you will find that your posts are much easier to read and understand, since at present, we have to stop and reread your walls of text to understand where it would be natural to have a little pause, i.e. a new paragraph. Again, please don't take it as anything other than the helpful tip that it is meant to be.

[Abruzi]

Thanks Cotland I'll try to do so in the future.

[Arnhelm]

For my Iranian claims for Hormozgan, Bushehr, and Fars.

Someone feel free to roleplay the Persian diplomats.

[Khorsun]

Apologize for the complete inactivity of last few weeks, back to school has been harsh on my schedule, and my spare time's been diverted towards a non-NS writing, possibly novel-sized. A story about where one morning people wake up and find everyone age 18 and up has simply disappeared off the face of the Earth without a trace, and what happens with the world after that, with the story set in one town with a ton of different characters.

What do you guys envision happening in that scenario?

Sex. Lots of sex. Then anarchy. With more sex.



BTW, as an aspiring writer myself, I'd say that NS is excellent practice, except maybe from a character point of view.

I disagree. Look at my War of the Maiden thread for example, most of it is character point of view.

I really need to get back to Infernal, amirite?

Sounds suspiciously similar to the kiwi tv-series The Tribe...

You know I do but I want to actually rewrite it. My mind is slightly more warped now.
