Hello everyone.
I'm new here and my name is Philippe Lemieux.I am the famous :rolleyes: leader of the Republic of Lemieuxstad in the North Pacific Region.Below is a small description of the real me not the one who governs the country:
Country of origin: Canada(Quebec province but unfortunately this is not yet a country)
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Useful facts: Been role-playing and gaming for almost 10 years now.Been an addict of games like Civ, SimCity etc. and have an hardcore passion for all things military.Been working as a freelance illustrator for 2 years and I'm starting my own graphic design company in a short time.I am also the gamemaster of a live-action diplomacy game much like this very on-line game.
So I perused through many of the FAQs but didn't find many answers to my questions so here goes and I hope I'm in the right section for that:
1 - OK I think I grasp pretty much the functionning of the non-forum part of the game but how do the In-Character part of it works.Is there any fixed rules or everything is just decided by role-playing.If yes are there any referees or ''gamemasters'' that can state officially that you have, say 500 Leo2A6 main battle tank.
2- In reference to the previous question.Once you roleplay the thing how do you pay for them.Because I searched through my country's datasheet but didn't find anything apart from a subjective rating of what my ecnonmy is.There's no ''credits'', ''budget'' or any hard data to confirm that I have x or y money.
3- Is there a map of some sort of the countries in my region, of the world or anything approaching this.How do I know which countries border my own country?
4- If someone invade me is it all right to say ''there's a bridge at this town and I've placed 50% of my forces there to block your passage''.How the outcome of a strategic military move is decided?
5- How do I trade goods produced by my country.How do I know that I have this type of good or that type?Where and how is it decided?
So I think that's all the questions that pass through my mind as of now.I'm really interested in the role-playing part of the game but I would like to know if there are any hard rules to that part and if there is where could I find them.
Thanks for you patience for the newbie and hope some of you can help me out.
Phil
