"Sol"

OOC: Hi there.

I'm new here but I've been delving into the idea of creating, managing and going to war with people's personal countries with friends for a long, long, long time, and I like this place.

Anyway, the only bad part is there are so many "timeframes" and a lot of "godmodding" and otherwise nonsense ideas. I want to make a sort of subgroup for RP that isn't really modern and not really future-tech, more like a life-based RP with actual or realistic tech for the future. There are just too many people all wanting the best thing, and anytime someone comes up with something better, they all just make something even more insane.

Basically I'm creating a region for people who want to have a somewhat closed RPing place with actual bounderies on what you can do so nobody can interfere and fudge it up. I'm probably too new, so nobody will pay attention to me, but I'm just trying to create something fun. The way things are there are TOO many people in Nationstates and it's just too much, so I'm trying to make something smaller with the same sort of international community feel without the wackos. Things like trading, selling ships and weapons, going to war, alliances, etc.

I don't know if anybody would be interested but the time-frame for this region is about 2100-2200 earth-time with some basic space technology. The region is "Sol" and it takes place around Earth's solar system and surrounding areas. Telegram me if you're interested in joining, though it's probably just a pipedream.

Good concept...a bit too late for Wazzu to join...it has a couple unrealistic techs already...and is far too integrated into the NS RP community here.

I'd create another nation or use a puppet, but I spend too much time on this one already.

Still, I hope people join up. It sounds like it could be fun if done right.

It'd take a lot to work, yeah.

Puppets/new nations are fine, though, btw. For anyone that cares.

(OOC: I spent two weeks at a photographers house where that Hell sign is, in Hell, Michigan. It's near the general store. Random info.)

OOC: I could actually join. I have a couple of nations with about 600 million people, I could send one of them. I'm not too busy with my main nation, so I'm sure I can find some for that "Sol" as well..

Well then come join us. You are very welcome here.

*feels wierd as he is currently recruiting for both the Heartland and Sol*

Yesss, join usss!!!

There's more info on what it's about on the regional board there in Sol. A brief explanation of the sort of thing I'm trying to create.

Here is some of that information:

The region consists of Sol (Earth's sun) and the surrounding 12.5ly (which includes 33 stars) which are: Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A&B, Bernard's Star, Wolf 359 (Star Trek fans should know that), Lalande 21185, Sirius A&B, Luyten 726-8 A&B, Ross 154, Ross 248, Epsilon Eridani, Lacaille 9352, Ross 128, Luyten 789-6 A,B&C, Procyon A&B, 61 Cygni A&B, Struve 2398 A&B, Groombridge 34 A&B, Giclas 51-15, Epsilon Indi, Tau Ceti, Luyten 372-58, Luyten 725-32, and Luyten's Star. Of those, only two have naturally inhabitable planets, Tau Ceti and Alpha Centauri, but technology is advanced enough for terra-forming or just plain, simple eco-domes.

The year is somewhere around 2100-2200. There is no "faster than light" travel, but through the progress of technology we've come close, producing a ship that broke .9c, although that ship was basically a giant engine and most ships can only go about .5c (compare a speedboat to a cargo freighter.) Faster-than-light communication is possible in most systems through generators harvesting stars for their unlimited power to send signals FTL to other solar emitters, but that is the only way. It also means ships travelling between stars are incapable of sending signals anywhere with speed, although they can recieve.

Weapons are anything you can think of that are actually possible. Power generation is mostly fusion but it's possible for other techs to be developed. Anyway, that's all for now.

You are very much welcome to come to Sol.

Take out FTL communications ability, and I'd fit right in.

Unfortunately, I cannot leave my current region.

The Guilds pretty much have all of the really cool technology that would've been in use by now had von Braun and Townsend Brown had their way. Minus timewarpers.
