History Rewritten: Ancient age RP?

A few of us have gotten together and decided to do an ancient age RP. Things seem to be shaping up very nicely, but we're short a few players, so COME ON DOOOOOOOOOWN!

http://lordreaver.proboards30.com

We are planning on taking on the roles of the various kingdoms and empires in Europe, Asia, and North Africa during the time of Alexander the Greats conquests.

Will Alexander live to a ripe old age, harnessing the might of Persia for Greek interests? Will the weakened Pharoahs of Egypt rise again to conquer all before them? The vast pool of manpower that is China waits for someone to bring the rebellious peasants to heel and direct their strength for the further expansion of the Dynasty.

The rules will be fairly simple. NS rules apply here, aside from population, which will not be much of a factor. There will be a number of Game Moderators to settle any IC disputes, such as godmodding or attempting to cheat. As long as your RP is reasonable then you shouldn't have problems, but if you're worried about Godmodders and n00bs flooding the place, fear not. This place is going to be ALL about RP, so NS agendas, bickering, and godmodding can stay away.

We need players for numerous Empires and tribes, so come join us. It looks to be a BLAST!

What you got open for position? I wouldn't mind being Greece (or at least one of the city states)...

Take a Steppe tribe, Imi, I think I'm going to play the Huns, so we can punish these fools :)

I guess we can list a few available tribes and nations:

Carthage, the Raj (India), Celts (Britain and northern France), TROY, the Corinthian League(Need ESF's approval for this, with ALOT of discussion), Judea(Jewish Palestine?), Nubia,

Just to name a few. Some of those, I realize were not 'nations' at the time, but merely tribes, however that's why we're here, to rewrite history!

A *BUMP* before I head off for a few hours.

Those of you who wish to RP go to the forums and PLEAAAAASE POST IN THE NEW PLAYERS FORUM ASKING PERMISSION TO PLAY THAT NATION.
I don't want 9 people trying to play a tribe, so please help me out here to prevent squabbles later.

I might be interested in playing Carthage, depending on when this RP gets going. I would like to play, but a) would like to read up on ancient Carthage first, and b) I've got finals coming up pretty soon.

I believe we may have a Carthage already, not sure though...

I think ESF is wanting to start tomorrow, thursday, or friday.

Well, let me know if it's not taken, and I think I may just get in on this RP.

Norsemen taken? If not, I might as well take them.

Eventually, they'll send explorers and found modern Bonstock.

I don't think they are an option but you would have to ask Pantera to be sure. This thing begins tonight but players can still enter till Monday. :)

Norsemen are definately available at the time, but only as a 'generic' Norse tribe. Correct me if I'm wrong but the norse tribal identity didn't begin emerging in scandanavia for another 500 years or so...

BUT! That's why we're here, no?

Just to let everyone know, the fighting has started. You still have plenty of time to sign up for a nation if your interested in joining. Also if one of our rpers becomes inactive, you may take over his nation for your own.

This is to let the people that have taken nations and not posted that if you don't post by Monday afternoon, your spot will be replaced.
