SMNES What has the world come to? Signup for Skilord and Metaliturtles NES Full PM-box? Change here!

Ok, SKILORD and I decided the time had come for us to Co-MOD a NES.

In this thread we need you to give us some information for when we start.

Name of your Nation
Traits (give 2) (industrious, militaristic, commercial, religious, expansionist, pacifist etc.)
A Specialty (give 1) (example: My nation is known for excellent woodworking)


We will place all the nations on the map, along with NPC nations. I won't take a country, just run NPCs, so the Moderating is more fair-handed.

This will be run somewhat like absolution, so plan on some expansion early on.

If there is anything I'm forgetting, I'm sure SKILORD will inform me in an angry manner, and then I'll change it in a humorous manner.

Oh before I forget, Diplomacy may be either via PM or in game, but labels of "secret" "top-secret" etc. will be known to the NPCs, as each will act independently and only sign alliances with Player Countries. Once an NPC has an alliance, they no longer get to see the secret messages unless they pertain to a breakage of the alliance.

STUFF I FORGOT:

1. THIS IS A CUSTOM MAP, we could give 2 pieces of poo as far as your nation's location in the real world. Custom maps enhance the story because players have to name everything or I'll come up with creative penalties.

2. If you want to join later, you will most likely be taking an NPC.

Something you forget Merti ( :doitnow: ) We aren't using an Earth Map.

We are using a custom map which isn't quite finished but which is very cool.

A people most known for their annoying habit of surviving and usually prospering in adverse circumstances despite apparently lacking any exceptional abilities. The “nation” of Caecinia is actually an alliance of clans, city-states, and guilds, bound together by some common cultural elements, an intertwined economy, and historical precedent.

Craeli
Religous Traditional (cultural)

The abilities of the Craelians stretch long throughout history, though one thing does stick out. The Craelians are people of the forest and sea, of the sky and the mountains. They are people of animals. They know how to tame the animals, and live with them as well as fight with them.

SKILORD's Rule/Setting Clarifications:

The following rules and such have been agreed upon by Mark and I.

Signed

-SKILORD
- (Badly forged Mertaliturtle signature)

The Setting:

When he said Medeival fantasy world, he meant it. There will be Dragons, Sea serpants, Gnomes, Trolls (but there are always trolls in NESes), Unicorns, the works.

There will be a bit of room for expansion when you start.

This is a curiosity in that it is the first resource driven story NES. Yes, resources. On the Geographic map the assorted resources (Dragons, Gold, Magic Powder, etc.) are shown, it will be clear to whom they belong.

Trolls and such are not resources and are instead mercenaries in Civ2 Barbarian style. They are a sort of Pirate NPC.

And yet it is a story NES, we encourage you to write stories and such as you expand and grow. If Fantasy is not your cup of tea you may leave, but I encourage you to challenge yourselves, I'm not generally very big on Fantasy either, but I will be there.

As a native Saxon I have to protest that you spread the lie Saxons were located in Western Germany!
In 800 they lived in the Netherlands, Northern Germany, Western Germany, Central and parts of Eastern Germany as well as in the Southern parts of Denmark. Today we are a federal state in BRD, and we claim the most eastern city of today´s Germany as ours!!!

The Grand Duchy of Sylvania (Militraistic)

The Necromancers and Vampires are adept at the Dark Arts and can raise armies of undead warriors from the slain of the enemy.

The island Kingdom of Sylvania led by Vampiric Count Vlad von Carstein, and his wife Countess Isabella von Carstein, is a nightmarish realm where the living are outnumbered by the living dead. Dire wolves, great undead wolves roam the land, and undead carrion rule the skies. Where the aristocracy is Vampiric and their living minions quale in terror.

The Zombie and Skelleton legions of the realm outnumber those of any other nation, and the fear they cause in mortal man is enough to turn the sturdiest warrior back in horror. The great Black Cavlary, full of the undead aristocracy ravage the near by kingdoms and the Black Arcs of the Sylvanian navy are ghostly ships no mortal man can step upon.

Sylvannia is not your worst nightmare. It is your every nightmare.

I don't think I'll quite have the map done on time

I've got a bit of an English Exam tomorrow (It's crucial that I make a 100, so I'm studying and sleeping)

Tomorrow night I'll be out. Friday night I'll be out. Saturday I'll be back to update Absolution and work on the Mappy hera. If I get it off to Merti all will be well, but I have an excellent hangover scheduled for that morning, so count on nothing other than the fact that I can copy and paste the Absolution update to the Fora.

If Merti does the map this is, of course, dealt with, he has the geo map and the key and the blank (I think).

If you're looking for something to do, Read Political Freedom and feedback.

And so I go, my fleeting words an obstacle no longer on your quest for the bottom of the page....
