OOC: Since II seems more active...

Are you tired of ten page RPs, that have one page of IC, and nine of OOC?
Are you tired of nuberwanking and godmod?
Do you love the art of role playing?

Well then, world at war is for you!

World at War is an independent role play, based off nationstates, using your nationstate country, economy, and military (thereby maintaining your activity in NationStates as well), located at s6.invisionfree.com/theworldatwar. It's pure freeform role playing, without so much OOC banter, and more IC fun. It's the crux of a evolution of world wars which started with WWIX, and it has reached some sort of "perfection" with role playing styles, although their a lot *sigh* that still need some help.

In any case, it's hell of fun, which is a proven fact! Trust me, you'll love it. It's open to nations of any size, although we prefer larger nations, which have better histories of role playing, and nations which promise activity...we don't want people to sign up, and never return again.

The role plays, especially between the experts in the game, are top notch, and are even fun to read...and it uses politics, diplomacy and war to make it flow! Famous nations such as AutoMagFreek, Armacor, New Empire and Malatose can testiment to that!

Thank you for reading.

Hi there, what nations are available?

Hmmm now this looks like it could actually be fun. Now i have to think do i go japan or brazil?

I'm curious, is your Canada active? If he isn't, then I'd be willing to be Canada.

Any nations not on that list are available. Canada was active until like a week ago, he pops around randomly, looking to see if anything is happening.

I see Israel is available. Sign me up.
EDIT: Israel has been conquered, never mind. *note to self, check Asia not Europe*

Registering as Taiwan over here.

Hm... Interesting. I think Indonesia would be suitable for me.

All good.... you can pick annexed nations..you just have to RP their liberation... through rebellion, or diplomacy.

In that case, I pick Israel, assuming that it isn't already taken.

In that case, I pick Israel, assuming that it isn't already taken.

Let me delete the old Israel, who left because he was conquered.

done... now to update the list.

...hey, it's not Taiwain. It's Taiwan >_<

*slaps himself* typo..my bad.

*slaps himself* typo..my bad.

meh. No problem... I do have a question though, can we invade unplayed nations? I have a bit of expansion to do...

No. We tried that in one of the original WWs (long story how those came about) and what happened was a big fest of conquering, and then inactivity because people didn't want to attack other players... this kind of forces people to attack other players.... here's I'll post the rules..they're also on the board:

------------------------

Article I

No space equipment used for military purposes is to be allowed, except for communication and reconaissance sattelites. However, missiles in space, and atmospheric attack missiles are specifically prohibited. This is to keep the "fairness" of the RP, and to restrict RPs to three fronts (air, ground and sea); hence, keeping it rather conventional.

Any nation using such ordnance will only be told to re-think their army attributes and make it much more conventional, however, their is no "capital" penalty.

Article II

There is no ignoring in "world at war". Ignoring leads to rather bad RPing, and to lost role plays, meaning that this game will be full of ignore fests and will die in an augmenting fashion. Nations which attempt to ignore will be told by the moderators of the game that ignoring is an established illegality, and will be forced to RP on.

Failure to listen to the mods will result in increasing the warning rate by 5%.

Article III

There is no flaming allowed. Flaming also results in horrible RPing, and ruins the world war experience. Flaming includes cussing out other players, increasingly whining, posting just OOC messages, and the such. I think we all have a pretty clear idea of what flaming is. OOC and IC in the same post is ok, and OOC for good reasons, such as explenations is perfect.

Should a nation flame they rist having their warning rate augmented at a rate of 10% per flame, by the moderators.

Article IV

No nuclear, biological, or chemical ordnance is allowed, for obvious reasons. The mass murder of other nation's armies or people will only result in overly rapid conquests and surrenders, subsequently ending in a horrible role play. Hence, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) are strictly prohibited.

If anything like this should happen the mods will politely tell the said nation that WMDs are illegal. Should the said nation refuse to eliminate the missiles from the RP and flame the moderators, or another player, the moderators should raise the warning rate by 10%.

Article V

Technological advances are to be halted at 2010 technology for RPing purposes. No 100,000 millimeter armor, no 10,000 inch guns, no laser missiles, etc. For those almost 2010 technological attributes: the new American bomber, said to come out in 2012, is prohibited.

Those which equip technology, surpassing the limit, will be told that they must re-adjust the attributes to their ordnance by a moderator. Failure to adjust, or refusal to adjust, will result in the augmentation of the warning level by 10%.

Article VI

The peaceful unification of nations is prohibited in World at War. This is a war oriented role play, keep it that way. There is no room for heroes that unite the worlds, like..should I say...pussies.

Article VII

Nations that are not role played by another player are to remain strictly untouched. No ground armies may pass over non played countries (NPCs), nor may they be annexed or ceded. However, air space may be used.

Article VIII

Should your warning rate reach to 100%, for the first time, your account will be suspended for five days. Should you hit 100%, for the second time, your account will be deleted, and you will be banned from World at War. Should you directly insult the moderators or the administrators you will be directly banned and deleted. Should you make personal insults about race or religion you will also automatically hit 100%.

Article IX

Signatures are to remain banner types. ONLY 400 x 100 signatures. Anything else will be deleted, and a "sig police" banner will replace it.

Is this actual war or a war game. I've been itching for a challenge.

It's actual war..however, the troops that die in this, have nothing to do with the troops that die in actual NS.

So wait, If I have 1 million soldiers on NS, and i do this war and 1 million die in the war, my NS army is not affected. Is this War, Modern Warfare.

Correct... and it is modern warfare.

Correct... and it is modern warfare.

sweet, count me in.

Good to hear!

Since no one has yet taken New Zealand, any chance I could join in? I'm assuming this is not dissimilar to the WWX thing you launched a few months ago?

New Zealand is open..and its about the same thing.

Ah good. A return to the days of political backstabbing and enormous air strikes by DT. Except without Dark Terror.

Hehe...with better role playing.

Hehe...with better role playing.

Well, lets be honest, it's not difficult for the RPs to be better than those. SOme of them were truly awful.

May I have Poland? If that is taken I will have Cuba.

May I have Poland? If that is taken I will have Cuba.

Both have been annexed.

Can't you do a thing where they get liberated? You said that to the guy who wanted Israel.

Yea, you can liberate them...I just wanted to give you a heads up that they were occupied.

Macabees, what is the stance on Trimaran naval vessels? I noticed the tech clause that stated nothing beyond 2010. Would trimaran ships be beyond that marker?

Well, the tech is "officially" at nothing past 2010, but we have some agreements made through experience... rail guns and trimarans are allowed...

Excellent.

Could i plz have china or japan

Could i plz have china or japan
Both are taken if you look at the list.

bump!

Bump

bump cause i can :-)

also for those asking about tech... it seems it is possible to exceed 2010 a bit - in incremental amounts... for example my Mk V Iscariot MBT was used in WWIX (the first) and had about 1000mm RSA as a max. The Mk IX Iscariot, which is the model i am currently still "designing", has 7000mm RSA as a max armor.

However it is more commonly assumed that there are a number of First Teir Nations who's tech is of approximatly equivlent value, they can shoot each other down as easily as if they both had current US tech.
(These are currently in the game Spain (Maccabees), the Republic of South Africa (Unknown to me), Iraq (Armacor, me), Germany (Unknown to me). (and possibly some others) Then there are the Second Teir nations, who have (if we have current US tech) current Russian Tech, almost as good in some regards, not as good in others, possbily better in one or two limited catagories, i would put Oman, Saudi Arabia, Australia, USA and some others... Finally there are people running around with equivlent third world home grown tech, ie current real world items still...

The Top RPers there generally respond to the post in kind, ignoring the tech level of the post mostly...

South Africa is me, Armacor. The tech description was pretty good, although many nations are purchasing stuff from Spain and I now.

Updated! And Greece and Sweden are now open!

bumper cars are cool!

BUMP

OOC: Macabees, get on so you can check my guess for the history quiz.

Meh. I'm probably like 1.5 Tier Tech then. I use a mix of enhanced U.S technology and some homegrown stuff.

Can I be brazil...but have a revolution and Make a new gov.

If it is open I would like Portugal (only European state not on the list on the front that I can think of right now).

Both are good.

Would it be possible to get the Federation of Macronesia ( I think that's what it's called)?

We would like the entire Korean Penninsula.

We would like the entire Korean Penninsula.
Choose one of the Koreas..if another player choose the other it can create a real good role play..heh.


DRACONICON: Go for it.

I've decided I'd like to try this out. I'd like to claim Sweden.

Mac I believe you forgot to put me down as Romania.

bump

1337 bumpage of doooooooooom.

That is me

ok... well i guess he should put you up there then :-)

oh and bump :-)

I'm one of those things that go BUMP in the night... >_>

Tyr: Are you in there? If so who are you? If not why not?

oh and bump :-)

I believe it should be updated. I am playing Israel.

you are playing bits of israel... i am still protecting the palistinian homeland from the jewish terrorists you control... but i cant edit other peoples posts here... just there... so no updates till Macca comes by...


Other new nations off the top of my head are Algeria and Pakistan

Open include, but not limited to: Kuwait, Yemen, Quatar, Tunisia, Malta, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Belgium, Iceland.

Tyr: Are you in there? If so who are you? If not why not?

oh and bump :-)

I'm Taiwan, the guy who invaded the USSR and took parts of Mongolia and Vietnam before getting bogged down in WWI-style trench warfare.

Belgiums taken im pretty sure. Most of Africa and ASia are open as are central america, and the carribean. Theres still European and S Amrican nations open to.

ok belgium is taken... i was trying to find places in high intensity combat areas... As the Middle East seems to be about to take on Europe (not all if i can help it...) it is the place to be currently... (unless you only have 5M ppl cause then you become a staging point for one side or the other :-) )

Like the man said... pick the ME or Europe since a major war's about to start there. The Far East is pretty damn boring, since everyone over there has an NAP with everyone else.

Right now, a bunch of Asian nations are planning to head out to the Americas, to satisfy our colonial desires :)

Shhhhhhh.... cant you see i am busy putting out most of those fires....

i mean i just stopped a war beween oman and russia, another between Egpyt and Greece/Spain (ok i stopped that by invading egypt my ex ally first :-) ) and am working on the Romania and Saudi one as we speak... i mean just because i want to push these people all onto spain instead doesnt mean there is going to be a war :-)

This has been a totally ooc information post... no Spies without access to Iraqi or Saudi Secure comms or the Diego Garcia complex can know the plan.... Now... To find those spies in Diego Garcia... :-)

The bumper car was hit by an artillery shell as it tried to target another vehicle, as it exploded it slewed sideways, flipping repeatedly and landing, on its roof, in a pile of flaming wreakage on the side of the highway. Its target continued down the road, oblivious of the wreak behind it, and missed out completely on joining the W@W here: http://s6.invisionfree.com/theworldatwar

i know that tazmania is an island under the control of australia, but id like to try and break away from australia with a massive revolt. I'm guessing at this point i register at that site and rp for the island??

That is how to do it... However i strongly suggest requesting permission from whoever has Australia... i dont know who it is, but they are listed on here, or there... (You dont have to, but it is polite...)

Also it is spelt "Tasmania" not Tazmania

i checked the front page and it seems that the vatican is unpicked, so i think ill take that instead. that way i dont have to go to war instantly just to see if i can get a foothold.

bump again

bump

and again with a bump.

i promise there will not be a page of just me bumping... well i hope there wont...

Just checking, is North Korea still avaliable? I just looked at the list, and did not see it taken. If it is still avaliable, I would like to sign up for it.

Yes, NK is available. By the way, I'll be your neighbor when you join up (Taiwan annexed China).

bump

It would seem that Hogsweat is inactive.

If you do not reply to this post denying me this, I would Like to claim Kuwait as my country.
