OOC: I am not a n00b. I've been playing this game for more than six months and already have another RPing nation. However, I've been bored lately and have created Troy. Now, we are just upgrading to modern technology for military hardware... and I plan on transforming Troy into a modern/future nation.

Now, what I'm getting at: I need someone to roleplay my enemies and allies. Achaea, Argos, Ithaca, or any ancient Greek tribe would qualify as my enemies. Any ancient Asia Minor city-state would qualify as an ally.

Basically, once you've been selected, and know what you are doing, create another nation, the one you will be RPing with me with. Do not plan on any large-scale wars, yet as Troy (and your nation too) needs to develop. Expect a cold war first.

Thanks.

-The Trojan Empire-

I might be able too... but should I create a new, young nation?

so is this all for a big battle then?

I might be able too... but should I create a new, young nation?Yes.

Also, anyone interested telegram me. And you must be a good RPer. I'd suggest that all Greeks make a region and that all Asia Minor states come to Asia Minor.

BUMP

And you must be a good RPer

hehe better count me out then....:)

So far, we've had two volunteers. Now, I wait for their responses...

OOC: I'm not really interested in creating a new nation, but I've got a second nation that's very primitive, and fairly small. Would it do? It's called Wandering Argonians.

Are they based in the Aegean Sea region?

OOC: They can be. The region they originate from is a vast, marshy area. They're also reptillian, btw. Is that okay?

I would like to participate in this endeavor, assuming the role of the ancient Mycenaean city-state of Smyrna (known today as Izmir). May justice be dealt, revenge be taken, and Achean souls be broken.

Also, I have found a great map of ancient Mycenaean city-states from the hellenistic era. Unfortunately I cannot post it from work (damn admins watching my every move), but will place it on this post tonight.

Remember, since this is a separate, long-lasting RP, I suggest everyone create a puppet based on who they are. Welcome Broken! You've, of course, are in.

This thread has been bumped by thee.

OOC: Smyrna has emerged from the ruins of our once glorious city, the muslim invaders have been overthrown, and the people have declared themselves an empire...

this is broken by the way!

Basic area we're dealing with.

It looks like major players in the Trojan war are in red. If thats the case, you shouldn't forget that the Lycians controlled Smyrna at the time of the war. If memory serves, the Lycians were a huge part of the story, especially Panderos and Sarpedon. Great map!

**deletes shameful attempt to draw map in paint**

EDIT: Just realized I'm wrong about the red...

OOC: If I have the time I'd love to join in...I just finished (re)reading the Iliad for school.

OOI what is the difference between the red, green and blue names?

I will help and join your cause, but please telegram me more about the situation and state what I need to do.

Thank you.

TG The Trojan Empire to join. You will need to pick a city from either Greece (infidels) or Asia Minor, then create a new nation based on them. Plot developes slowly, build your nation, create political ties (i.e. Smyrna and Troy have opened communication as Smyrna enters the modern world : http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79156&highlight= )

(OOC - I created this puppet cause your idea sounded cool. Is this midevil tech? What region should I place my nation in?)

The Fiefdom of Feta Cheese wishes to proudly introduce itself.

:shock: ... regions?

Yes! We should create regions! Damn good idea.

(EDIT: I meant to post that with Smyrna, the nation I created for the slaughter of Achaeans.)

I will help and join your cause, but please telegram me more about the situation and state what I need to do.

Thank you.
Pick an ancient state from either Greece or Asia Minor
Create another nation for that state
Introduce yourself
Roleplay. The Greeks and Asia Minor states should be rivals. You may be semi-future, modern, or semi-modern.

:shock: ... regions?

Yes! We should create regions! Damn good idea.

(EDIT: I meant to post that with Smyrna, the nation I created for the slaughter of Achaeans.)Come to Asia Minor with me. :P

Even better map

If Sparta is open, then I will take that one. If not then I will take Aulis, unless that is taken as well.

Message me back on which one I should take. Thank you.

Sparta - no one has taken it, although you could be Laconia (basically, Sparta)

Sorry, but the nation name is already reserved. Should I create the name still, adding my own touch?

Yes, try The Laconian Empire or The Laconians, etc. You get the point.

Here I am. I am the Imperial Laconia.

Good.

Good.

Bump.

Up.

Now what should I do with my new nation?

If it'd be possible, could you create Imperial Lacedaemon and use that? Lacedaemon is a more accurate name of Sparta, although Laconia is fine also.
