I've been watching RP's recently, and I've noticed that alliances are crossing with other alliances, and they're both getting pulled into wars. This same exact thing happened in 1914. So I'm telling all nations of the world, be careful, don't get stupid and join an alliance with enemies of another alliance you're in(if you are in 2 or more)

Yes, world war is fast coming; question is, how will the sides balance out?

Blegh, I think it'd probably turn into a hideous godmode-filled morass to be honest. Added to which, it'd be too fast; we'd all have to agree to have a certain interval before posyting replies or something, or you'd wind up about 5 pages behind the action within half an hour.

Cool as it sounds, I think DPUO is right in that one would pretty much have to sit infront of the computer 24/7 to keep up with it. But hey, let come what will.

All I can say is, a massive world war would be the coolest thing to ever happen in NS. Join an alliance while you can.

True, 'twould be seriously bloody cool. I dunno, we'd have to delegate forces off to someone maybe for each front or theatre. Blargh. The scale of it would be horrible.

World war would be bad. I'd be like Belgium in both RL WWs, trampled on by larger nations.

You'd probably need some sort of Referee to keep everything flowing...Man that'd be cool.

that's the truth, but if it was done right, how the ass-kickery would flow.
