OOC Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=499214 (New applications are currently open)
Forenote: [ This is not meant to be realistic, nor any true reference to the real world and it's many applications. This is simply harmless fun, and something for you people to do! By any means, I hope you have fun! ]
The Setting:
It was the middle of the 20th century, and it was a century that was predicted to bring great change to the world. In the first twenty years of the 100 years, the world suffered a war never seen before in human history... Millions died, great Empires fell, and the world underwent major change.
It was obvious that, from the get - go, the world would not learn from the war. Tensions boiled once more as nations found reasons to pick fights with one another, and eventually, the game would be up. The Third Reich would invade the neutral nation of Poland, forcing the second Allied front, involving the United Kingdom and France to join in against Germany.
This would boil over to involve the whole world. The Japanese Empire would fight against a powerful United States of America in the East, and slaughter thousands in China.
But then, when the war reached it's peak... Everything stopped. The Gunfire ceased as nations crumbled without any perceived reason. The remaining soldiers on their fronts would return to their 'Countries', only to find anarchy.
It seemed like the world was going through some sort of reset, as every single nation ceased to exist, though the people still stood.
Now, it is the year that marks the new millennium, 2000 A.D. The world has recovered, if partly, nations, old and new would reform to rule their respective regions. Can these nations learn from the old world and their mistakes, and use this fresh start to bring a great era of peace? Or is humanity forever burdened to keep making the same mistakes that they had before...
...And would the reason for the major event of the 1940's, being referred to as the Cataclysm by many be discovered? Time will tell...
OOC:
Welcome all to 'The Reformation: Recovering from the Cataclysm' ! This is a soft reboot of sorts from the old 'A new world, A new age' topic, an old Roleplay of which this is directly inspired from. Note that this is the IC thread, meaning that this is where you roleplay your nation, and everything that comes with that.
Let me lay out a few guidelines here real quick, stuff that you will not be punished for if you do not heed them, but should be noted and taken into consideration. Here goes:
- Firstly, and this is something I encountered in the old RP, if you wish to keep a dispatch a secret from the rest of the roleplayers, or at the very least from their in character RP, please state that it is a secret communication, move or other action in your post. This is to avoid ambiguity of whether a post should only be regarded as IC for one or a select few nations, or if the whole world (Every Roleplayer) can react to it in character.
- If possible, when conquering a territory that is not controlled by any nation, please still describe the process. This is important, in the RP people still exist across the world, however only us players have actually formed their own civilisations, so keep in mind that resistance from locals, and assimilating them into your nation should be kept in consideration.
Alright, two points. Anyways, moving on...
Rules and Guidelines (This is where the map from above comes into play)
The limit on the technology level for your civilisation is COLD WAR technology.
Due to the Cataclysm, civilisation hadn't developed much, and new technologies past the stuff that was available during World War Two is only just now being developed by you! (The new countries) So modern technology like unwired phones (Smartphones), advanced computers, many of the medical innovations such as multiple vaccines, pain relief and other things, etc. etc. is a no - go. And this is stressed even more for Post Modern Technology, such as lasers, energy shields, antimatter devices, and other things. If I or one of my Co-Ops (Admins) see you use Post Modern Technology without a darn good reason, then you will be voided. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave, in addition.
Give a modicum of effort to your posts, no ONE - LINERS for example without good reason.
I expect for you, the player to have fun with this, of course, but I would appreciate it if FailRP, bad RP, most importantly One - Liners (Which I saw a lot of in the previous roleplay) was kept to a minimum. How would your fellow roleplayers be expected to efficiently follow up on your posts if you've provided no substance?
You won't get punished for the first few times, but a warning will be issued to repeat offenders, and if continued, you may be asked to hang your hat.
A quick fire round of other rules:
1. Nations that continually break rules or refuse to listen to me or my four Co-Ops will be removed and prohibited from rejoining until it is seen they are fit to.
2. No instant invasions. RP your fleet crossing the oceans first. Surrounding a country should take up an entire post. RP your preparations for the attack before you attack. Be realistic. NO TELEPORTATIONS. Blitzkrieging is allowed but you must prepare for it first.
3. No WMDs of any kinds until 2 of your territories on the map are invaded. Testing them is allowed, within reason.
4. No god modding. So, basically, you don't dictate what other people's forces do and the damage they take. You only control your forces and the damage they take.
5. You may claim territories on the world map (This can be outside of the region of which you chose initially btw). You can increase your territory through invasions, or the colonization of territories that are unclaimed. You just have to rp it.
6. And I cannot stress this enough. In order to regulate this rp, and keep things fair and fun, I am the deciding factor of what goes in this rp. So, if I say you can't have as many troops as you say you do, then you have to follow my numbers. I'm sorry, but we can't have rules without enforcement.
