The Macabees

[Note to the Mods: If this is still incorrectly placed, and in that case I would assume this cannot be advertised at all, then please close it. I, under no circumstances want to break the rules, however, I didn't really see anything concerning this in the rule thread. Thanks.]
I know there's been a bunch of world at war advertisement threads, however, the world at war, even after I bought it it's own server, is again slowing down, and I'm afraid that the only way to keep it up is to attempt to persuade settled RPers who know what they're doing and are set on role playing with others.
I can't stress the fact that the World at War community is more role playing and less bickering. Indeed, that's what's been driving the world at war for such a long time, and I think that's what attracts most of our players. The only problem is that every time we re-start we lose players who just don't want to re-start. For that reason I'm trying to step up the recruitment drive once again.
Perhaps some of the more well known role players are: New Empire [South Africa], Guffingford [Switzerland], SafeHaven2 [Egypt], Zarbia [Austria], Kriegograd [Luxembourg], and Tyrandis [Poland]. They can give testimonials that are evidence of the success of World at War, and simply put, how fun and creative it is.
It differs from a regular Earth, and indeed it totally unrelated to any RPing on the Jolt forums. Instead of people claiming over two countries once can only claim a single country and that person role plays as said country. They use their population statistics from their NationStates country and their economic statistics. Moreover, the only thing about the real world that you use is realistic technology [although self designed technology is perfectly legal, and it's almost the norm], and that you use real life geography and topography.

The rules aren't many, but they help keep the role play in form:
On technology:
The general setting of world at war has been reverted back to a technological cap of 2010. However, there are some general exceptions to this rule which include rail guns, SCRAMjet, ETC guns, etc. You'll find the exceptions as you go through the technological spreadsheets in the WorldWarWiki site. If your technology is found to surpass the technological limit one of the tech mods will come by and correct your mistake.
Space Ordnance:
As of a general rule since World War IX space weaponry, sometimes referred to as Ortillery, is not allowed. However, this does not apply to communication and reconaissance sattelites. ASATs are also game. We would rather keep space out of this role playing game as much as possible, thank you for your cooperation.
NBC Ordnance:
Under no circumstance are nuclear/biological/chemical weapons allowed in this game. Their usage will bring you an automatic warning. NBC weapons have the tendency of utterly devastating role plays and that's not our goal here on world at war.
Realism:
Here on world at war we believe in something called REALISM. Please refer to the thread in the Archives section which have to deal with logistics, strategy and the such. That should give you a pretty clear idea of what we're looking for. Realism enhances the role playing experience, which is our goal here.
Population and Economics:
Population on world at war, as well as economics, deals solely with those of your NationStates profile. However, natural geography and natural geology applies, meaning that the resources at your disposal are those that exist in the real world around the country you have claimed. Under no circumstance will this rule be revoked.
Invasion:
Only nations that are claimed and actively played can be invaded. Furthermore, new nations have a five day 'safe time' in which they can build up their country and do as they wish. However, should they invade at any time this 'safe time' is automatically eliminated and they may be attacked.
Ignore Policy:
No ignoring at all. Players who deserve ignoring will generally be deleted. There is no reason you should ignore someone else. Moreover, there are no closed or invite threads in this role play. All threads are open to all other players by default.
Signatures:
400x100 maximum. This will be enforced!
Nations Under 500 Million:
This is a brand new rule. Nations under 500 million are automatically entitled to a 500 million population until their NationStates population reaches said population mark in which case they use their NationStates population once again. Should help protect the smaller guys.
Other:
General rules on godmoding and flaming applies. The administrators reserve the right to Delete on Sight (DoT) and the moderators reserve the right to warn or enforce their powers at will. Of course, flagrant use of moderator powers will be noticed by the administrators and something will be done about it. However, generally speaking, all the world at war moderators are top notch at their field.
Nations have one warning. Those who fail to pay heed will be deleted the next time. If a deleted nation has an inquiry on why they were deleted then contact the mods at their group email: moderation@modernwarstudies.net
Also, if you have a question you would like to ask the mods in private then use our email to contact us: moderation@modernwarstudies.net
Thank you,
Jon [Your Friend Administrator]
So, if you like to role play and you're good at it, then I invite you to World at War.
Thank you for your time.
