War Games Tournement

Ok, I thought that maybe we could have a war games tournament, just anyone that wants to sign up in certain population regions. That’s the basic idea.

The Game: The point is fairly easy to grasp. You sign up, and you are put into a certain population class. The classes are as followed.
5 mil. – 100 mil.
100 mil. – 300 mil.
300 mil. – 500 mil.
500 mil. – 1 bil.
1 bil. – 1.5 bil.
1.5 bil. – 2 bil.
2 bil. And over.

When you sign up for the age classifications, you have to sign up for the class that your nation is located at least. For example, if my nation is 50 mil. And I think that I am good enough to play at the 100 mil. to 300 mil. Level, than you can do that, you just can’t go down a level.

Everything that you RP in this tournament is based on your nations real forces. But instead of actually losing forces, you just pretend, and once the war is over, if you lost, you did not actually lose the military weapons, this is completely secluded from your RL RP. Another words, this is an OOC RP.

If you would like to sign up, just state the following information:

Your population
Which class you wish to participate in
Your time era (Modern, Space, Post-Modern. ETC)
And your real NS nation name (Incase your name here is different)

I will then enter you into a your wished class, and will then put you into a bracket, I will try to keep fairly updated.

I myself will most likely not partake in this, unless it seams irresistible. :D

The rules:
The rules are basically the same rules for the actual game. I will over see all wars, and try to judge as best as possible. Any uncorrected and retconned godmod; will result in immediate disqualification, and a win for your opponent. You can only use the forces that your nation has right now. I know that there are different time periods, and I will bracket the nations according to time period, another words, I will not match an ancient civ. Nation against a space nation. Only the two nations in the match may participate, you may not use any allies or ally forces. All forces that are YOURS you use. Your forces are reset if you proceed to the next round.

The procedure:
You sign up and I will match you against another nation in the class, hopefully keeping time periods the same. Then I will assign you a thread that you two will both begin your war in. (DO NOT TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO START A THREAD) Your threads will be located in the International Incidents forum. I will try to oversee the wars. I may need help overseeing, if you wish to help judge, please say so. Once the war is over, post in this thread saying the two nations that participated in the war, and post who won. I will then go over your war and decide whether or not the claimed winner is deserved or not. If I find that it was not correct, then I will contact you two saying that you need to continue the war, or decide which nation has won, if a nation then surrenders, obviously the other nation wins. Post in this thread any problems you have, for example, you think that your opponent has cheated or godmodded, provide the nations in the war, and I will look over it then decide whether or not it is a godmodd or not, if it isn’t, then you guys just continue. If it is a godmodd, the convict nation has 24 hours (RL) to correct the mistake, or retconn it. (completely throw it out)

I hope I didn’t forget anything, if you have any question just ask. Signing up will be open until we get at least 10 nations in each category, unless the people are just pouring in, then I will extend the sign up period. But I wish not more than 15 nations per category, unless I can recruit many judges.

The people entered are as follows:

5 mil. – 100 mil.
The Magic City – Modern
Natal Transvaal - modern

100 mil. – 300 mil.
Ferratus - Modern

300 mil. – 500 mil.

500 mil. – 1 bil.

1 bil. – 1.5 bil.

1.5 bil. – 2 bil.
Wintrees - modern
Hawaiian Islands - modern

2 bil. And over.
Sino - Modern

I have attached a sample bracket, so you can get an idea of what is going on.

ooc: sounds like fun, but ive got a question about the population rankings. On the main nationstates site, my nation has about 500 milion people. However, i have my military and my maps and pretty much everything related to RPing based on a population of around 1-2 million. I use that assumed population for RPing purpouses since I'm an island nation and find a smaller military easy to manage. Would i be able to sign up to compete in the 100-300m instead of the 300-500m?

OOC: Finally, someone has a good idea! My nation's 2 billion and over, modern tech. Is this actual war, or just fought with laser-based simulation systems and special effects?

I'd like to sign up for the 100-300m catergory if possible (see above post) and I'm modern tech.

another question: will the battles be full militaries vs. full militaries, or smaller conflicts with more even sides(for example: 3 army divisions and a carrier battle group vs 3 army divisions and a carrier battle group)

suggestion: I don't mean to criticize you in any way, but seeing as there are not too many people signing up yet, it might work well if you did away with population rankings and had battles of only a few divisions from each country so that it would be a fair battle no matter the nations' population.

Ya, that would be fine, just leave your forces as long as you don't use godmodd forces.

No, this isn't an actual war, but you use your forces as if it were, another words, you don't get unlimited forces, just because it's fake.

I am working on getting more people, right now there isn't many, but if you and everybody spreads the word, it should expand pretty quickly.

Well, there in the II forum, but if you your talking about what nation, then that is up to you guys to decide, I would most likely think that both nations would be invading.
