I have decided to revive Earth III, as there has been Earth IV, V, and VI but no mention or activity in Earth III for a few months.

The most important feature of this new Earth III would be that multi-Earth RP'ing will be allowed. Nations that own land in other Earth's are allowed to claim land and RP in Earth III. People in Earth III are allowed to claim lands and RP in other Earth's.

That aside, I have decided to use several ideas gleaned from various Earth's to make this one the most flexible and reasonable Earth Claims up to this point.

Now I present you with the rules!

Rule 1:

Keep claims reasonable. A 100 million nation claiming the entirety of Russia and China would not be recongized. However, that same nation claiming New England area or the UK area would be recongized.

Rule 2:

For claims over your allocated claim limit, please provide RP's for it. These type of "over-limit" claims include conquest, annexation, "gift land", artifical islands, etc. If RP's aren't provided to prove these claims, then these claims will not be recongized.

Rule 3:

If someone claims a land before you, do not panic or get upset. You can work it out in a RP between the two of you, or claim another piece of land.

Rule 4:

No fighting, flaming, or insulting will be permitted in this Earth III claims thread. Continued flaming or insulting may warrant deletion of a player's claims from this Earth.

Be nice, and you shall be rewarded. Be a jerk, and you shall suffer the consquences.

Rule 5:

In cases of extremely large claims, a RP is mandatory. Example in case, a nation of 400 million with a claim in Georgia. The nation decides to claim Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisana, and Arknasas. A RP is required to prove that the nation is capable of holding these claims, and to provide ample evidence for future claims or RP'ing down the line.

If its just "I claim these lands." or a few sentence RP like "The armed forces of Nation X has destroyed all resistance in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisana, and Arkansas. They are now parts of Nation X's empire." then the claim will be ignored.

Rule 6:

Refer to the list of claims using CTRL + F to find the claim you want. If it is not there, then great! You can claim it right away. But if it does appear, that means someone else has claimed it.

Checking claims would save us a lot of time and aggravation as I won't have to triple check every claim,. and you won't get upset if I deny your claim because of a "double claim" (meaning 2 nations claiming the same land).

Rule 7:

Two areas that are off limits for claims would be the Arctic and Anarctica for RP reasons that will be revealed in the future.

Rule 8:

Nations with claims in other Earth's WILL be allowed to claim land here in Earth III, and vice versa, unlike in Layatreb's Earth II. This is so that nations in Earth III would be able to interact with other Earth's, and vice versa. This would help open up more opporunities of RP'ing and such.

Rule 9:

No puppets are allowed. This is done so to allow more propsective Earth III members to join in, and open up more potential RP's with them. Also, this prevents puppet-wanking.

Rule 10:

If an Earth III member does not post or RP anything within 4 weeks, their claims are invalidated, and then immediately become unclaimed land. The player is then removed from the Claims List.

Rule 11:

Technology levels will NOT exceed 2020 level of technology. Exceptions MAY be made, if you can prove to me that the technology would be realistic, reasonable, and functional.

It is up to me whether to approve or not approve technologies that may not be feasible for MT "gameplay" or "RP-play". I will hold a discussion with my team of moderators to form opinions of 2010+ technologies.

This is done so to avoid war RP's with Uber Tech of D()()M That Makes My Army Uber-Invincible! RAWRRRR! situations.

Rule 12:

This is the most important rule of them all: Have fun RP'ing with each other!

==========================================================

Now here's the guidelines regarding claims.

Nation Size: 5 ~ 100 million.

Maximum # of claims: 2 small claims.

________________________

Nation Size: 101 ~ 300 million.

Maximum # of claims: 1 medium claim or 3 small claims.

________________________

Nation Size: 301 ~ 500 million.

Maximum # of claims: 2 medium claims or 4 small claims.

________________________

Nation Size: 501 ~ 999 million.

Maximum # of claims: 1 large claim, 3 medium claims, or 5 small claims.

________________________

Nation Size: 1 ~ 2 billion.

Maximum # of claims: 1 large claim, 4 medium claims, or 7 small claims.

________________________

Nation Size: 2 ~ 3 billion.

Maximum # of claims: 2 large claims, 5 medium claims, or 10 small claims.

________________________

Nation Size: 3+ billion.

Maximum # of claims: Varies, within reason (If a nation surpasses the 4 billion mark, claims would be higher than just 3 billion). It is up to the moderator, Sharina, to approve or not approve claims for extremely massive nations.

==========================================================

Small Claim Examples = Rhode Island, Conn, Delware, Vermont, Hawaii, island chains (except Indonesia, Japan, and New Zealand), Switzerland, Luxemborg, etc.

Medium Claims Examples = New York, Virginia, Ohio, Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Iraq, provinces of Canada, etc.

Large Claims Examples = Texas, California, Mexico, Alaska, quadrants of Russia and China, Algiers, Sweden, Brazil, India, etc.


For you newcomers and new nations, do not worry. Your population will grow pretty quickly, and if you really want a particular piece of land or need new land, you can RP invasion and annexation (with my approval).

Important notes:

Russia is divided into 4 large claims. Northeast, Central, Northwest, and Southwest.

China is divided into 4 large claims. Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest.

Australia is divided into 3 large claims. East, Central, and West.

==========================================================

The Empire of Risban: The Irish Isles

Germany, Italy, and France, please.

I have 1.7 billion population, and those are 3 medium nations.

Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, the Ukraine, Moldova, Czech, and Slovakia, please.

Austria and Greece

Blacktower, Your population is 189 million. You can have either Greece or Austria, but if the other is unclaimed by the time you hit 300 million, you can have the other.

Witzgall, approved.

Risban, approved.

Presgrief, please state your population.


From now onwards, I would like people who want to claim lands here to state their population to make it much easier for all of us to work out claims.

I will update the claims now, then I will be back later tonight to add any new claims after this post.

Casana: Yucatan Province (Mexico), Eastern Half of Cuba (or third if too large)

EDIT:
Population: 10 Million

My populations (please note that Brass Rails and Gernalitily were not created by myself, their aquisition by the Greifan Empire was RPed.)

Presgreif: 2 billion+
Brass Rails: 3 billion+
Gernalitily: 3 billion+

Casana: You can have Cuba and the Yucatan tip of Mexico.

Presgrief, in light of that new information, your claims are semi-approved. May I have a link to the RP regarding your "conquest" of Brass Rails and Gernalitily? I'd like to take a look, and then fully approve it.

I'll be back later.

Unfortunatly not, as the RP's happened such a bloody long time ago that I'm affraid the threads are all but gone. :(

If you would like though, there are many people you could ask who would gladly confirm this, such as Melkor Unchained, The Silver Turtle, Barbarosea, and others.

Population 507 million. (at last count)
Ok since I am too small for the UK.
I would like England and Wales please :)

Hold on, I found the coronation thread, at least.

Edit: Could you add Kaliningrad to my claims, please? Thanks so much.

May I have the entire of Russia please? I am a 2.05 billion nation, and it seems that 2 large claims would equals the entire of Russia......

can i have Japan?

Great Sharina!

Can I have Sweden, Norway and Iceland? Pop above 0.5 bil.

We would like Australia (all of it) as a 2.1 billion nation to coincide with our Earth VI claim.

-Mikosolf Corporation

May I have the entire of Russia please? I am a 2.05 billion nation, and it seems that 2 large claims would equals the entire of Russia......

No, Russia equals about 5 large claims. Sorry.

Okay, I'm back.

Here goes....

Presgreif: Your claim is fully approved, along with Kaliningrad.

Kimaria: England + Wales is approved.

Kooparbergs: Approved.

Modguy: Please state your population.

Dimmimar: Russia (and China) are divided up into 4 quadrants. Each quadrant = 1 large claim.

Russia:

Quadrant 1 = Northeast (Siberia, along Bering Straits, northwest of Japan)

Quadrant 2 = Central (Urals mountains and north of Mongolia)

Quadrant 3 = Northwest (area next to Finland)

Quadrant 4 = Southwest (next to Europe)

China:

Quadrant 1 = northeast

Quadrant 2 = northwest

Quadrant 3 = southeast

Quadrant 4 = southwest


A Few Rich People: Australia is divided up into 3 quadrants.

East, Central, and West.

You can choose two of them, then RP invading the 3rd one (let it be conquering a rebel province or re-integrating your province which seceded or something like that).

Australia is about the size of China or larger.


I might add a few new features, like a RP list of Earth III RP's and invasions and such. I'm also planning on including maps (if someone is willing to help make maps for Earth III then upload them to a web server so the maps can display here).

I want southern Iraq. Just the southern part..16 million people, not too much to ask for eh?

Could I claim North-west and South-west Russia?

Alrighty, thanks. ;)

I might be able to help with the maps. Telegram me if you need anything.

Iceland, if you'd be so kind, sir. I'd like to own my r/l homeland.

I want southern Iraq. Just the southern part..16 million people, not too much to ask for eh?

I might consider changing the rules to allow a 5 - 100 million population 1 Medium claim OR 2 small claims, as there are some nations like Iraq, Egypt, etc. that are popular.

As for right now you can have Southern Iraq. Perhaps you would like to engage in a RP to take North Iraq and Kuwait or something.


Could I claim North-west and South-west Russia?

You can have these claims if Dimmimar agrees to have Central and Northeast Russia.

Iceland, if you'd be so kind, sir. I'd like to own my r/l homeland.

Kopparbergs already claimed it. If you would like to own it, you can contact him and arrange a RP or a deal or something. :)

nah dont want northern iraq or kuwait just yet. Just out of a civil war.

nah dont want northern iraq or kuwait just yet. Just out of a civil war.

Okay. You can have Southern Iraq, then. If you want to get North Iraq or Kuwait later, just post your RP thread here, then I'll update the claims thread. :)

greece is fairly small. If I have to I will take simply Austria.

I thought greece was small, if you count it as a small claim, then I will take Greece and Sardinia. these are two small nations. I would prefer these to Austria

Greece is larger than Austria...

Canada

Pop: ~1.6bil

I would like Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland and Cuba.

Japand and New Zealand are Medium nations, Switzerland is small, but Cuba I'm not sure about. I would say Small, but if its medium and you won't allow it, then can I have Jamaca?

EDIT: Actually thinking about it, if Blacktower doesn't want/get it and you agree, could I have Austria instead of Cuba please?

A Few Rich People: Australia is divided up into 3 quadrants.

East, Central, and West.

You can choose two of them, then RP invading the 3rd one (let it be conquering a rebel province or re-integrating your province which seceded or something like that).

Australia is about the size of China or larger.


Fine by me, I'll take Central and West, will invade East for some reason yet to be defined (I have always had my annoying unionists...)

A Few Rich People: Approved.

Blacktower: You can choose whether to have Greece or Austria. You can start a RP for the invasion of Greece, Austria, and / or Sardinia then I can add these to your claims.

Communist-Canada: Denied! It should be obvious why.

Phoenixius: Cuba has already been claimed, but the others should be okay (as I have yet to hear from Modguy). You can take Jamaica instead of Cuba if Blacktower takes Austria or wants to RP taking Austria. Would this be agreeable?

Population : 3.2 Billion

Is it possible that I could claim North-East Russia, and include among these territories as I wish to be specific and mark the Republic of Sakha, the New Siberian Islands, the Oblast of Amur, Wrangel Island and the Oblast of Chukotka as mine.

I think these claims are reasonable, considering the size of my nation, and I dont think they are greedy, I'm leaving quite alot of Siberia and the Pacific alone.

For reference - http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/commonwealth/russiaaddivisions.jpg

I guess I'll start off with Greece then. gotta have that water access lol

I will have to put your claim on hold, as I'm still waiting to hear from Dimmimar and DontPissUsOff (DPUO) regarding their Russia claims. They claimed Russia before you, but I am willing to work out something between you three.

If I don't hear from Dimmimar within two days, by Friday or Sat. then I will remove him from the Russia Claims list, leaving you and DPUO.

I guess I'll start off with Greece then. gotta have that water access lol

Approved. You shall have Greece.

Kopparbergs already claimed it. If you would like to own it, you can contact him and arrange a RP or a deal or something. :)
I'm in a good mode today, so I'll let Hardheads have Iceland. I give him Iceland and claim Faeroe Islands and Svalbard instead.

when can we begin RP's

Well, just in case this doesnt work out, I want to post the follow backup choices. They are Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria. Those are eight nations in all, the smallest being Macedonia and Albania, the largest then is Romania followed by Bulgaria. is this too much?

Hmm... For a 3.2 billion nation, the land you request sounds quite reasonable. I am prepared to grant you these lands instead of Northwest Russia to alleviate the DPUO - Dimmimar - you Russia Claim Triangle.

I'll go with my Balkan claim, it'll clear up things for whoever wants Russia. Thanks!

Blacktower to the South [Greece], Presgreif to the North [Moldova, Ukraine, Slovakia and Czech Republic] looks good! Thank you Sharina. -Bump-

Yup, things are filling out nicely...

Thanks guys! Any feedback on how to improve this even further?

Can I ask, did you ask Ottoman Khaif if you could do this? "Earth III" was his thread. I also ask because I did have land there.

Doesn't matter. He abadoned the thread, and it is therefore fair game. Sorry.

Thanks guys! Any feedback on how to improve this even further?

We should have a thread where participants post links to their Earth III RPs. I think that perhaps this should be mandatory. That way, it will be easy for everyone to keep track of what is going on in our world.

Population: 32 million

Is it possible if I could claim Papua New Guinea (PNG). I believe that this claim is reasonable considering the size of my nation compared to the overall population/size of this country.

Reference: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/pp.html

I'd say yes, but its not my decision...

There should be an events/incidents thread, like Presgreif said, or was he trying to say that? 0_o

Sharina, as Blacktower has taken Greece instead, I'll have Austria. If Modguy does get Japan, then I'll go for Madagascar instead.

Seeing as how there is no Events or Incedents thread up yet, I will have to post this here. Blacktower has begun its annexation of Sardinia.

ATTACK ON SARDINIA (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=376377)

Can i claim Luxembourg please, if no one else has claimed as it is about right for the size of my country

Blacktower, why didnt you just claim Sardinia to begin with?

Blacktower: You can choose whether to have Greece or Austria. You can start a RP for the invasion of Greece, Austria, and / or Sardinia then I can add these to your claims.


I tried lol

Well, I don't quite have it, but as a placeholder...

I'm invading South Africa and Lesotho.

I suppose I'll claim Portugal, Spain, Morroco, and Andorra. Normally, I'm not much of a cooperator in Earth threads, but I see this as an opportunity to make more RP's with different nations.

May I have then:

Egypt, Sudan and Gibraltar?

Doesn't matter. He abadoned the thread, and it is therefore fair game. Sorry.

Well, I admit, I don't like it. Land that was mine in that thread (which I'd hope to keep) was taken and I don't like that. Mind you, the old Earth III was pretty chaotic, so this is an improvement.

I don't know...most of my discontent centres around the fact that every time an Earth thread is created Italy (and thus including Rome, which is obviously the base for my nation) is almost always one of the first nations taken, and I want to get involved in an "Earth" because that's where my nation is (the Earth II people are taking too long to sort things out as far as I'm concerned). At the same time, I don't want to monopolize Italy, as that is unfair.

Rome West, perhaps you could come to some sort of agreement with Witzgall, the occupier of Italy. If you dont want all of it, then he could alteast hand Rome over to you, although that is wishful thinking! Otherwise, stake a claim quick!

Okay, so here's the deal:

Sharina, I'm claiming Vatican City (which is within Rome) and the Rostov, Astrakhan and Vologograd Russian oblasts.

Witzgall: I want to work out some deal where I can at least claim Rome proper. I don't ask for anything else in Italy besides the city. You can have everything else in Italy- I just want my city. This would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

(is Sardinia considered part of Italy in Earth III? I know in the other earths it is not)

(is Sardinia considered part of Italy in Earth III? I know in the other earths it is not)

It usually is, but you should ask Sharina about that.

It usually is, but you should ask Sharina about that.

i am asking Sharina... thats the point of my post lol. When I think italy, I think mainland italy. same goes for France, Spain, etc. They control several small islands around the world, but just because you claim England doesnt mean you get the entire commonwealth.

Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, please. I have a population of ~1.2 billion, so i hope that is ok.

*Cute eyes"

My guess is that a nation is defined as the main political unit, meaning that Gibraltar can still be claimed even if Britain is claimed because it is a colony of Britain.

The Sovereign People of Vas Pokhoronim wish to lay claim to our ancestral lands of Slovenia.

Okay, so here's the deal:

Sharina, I'm claiming Vatican City (which is within Rome) and the Rostov, Astrakhan and Vologograd Russian oblasts.

Witzgall: I want to work out some deal where I can at least claim Rome proper. I don't ask for anything else in Italy besides the city. You can have everything else in Italy- I just want my city. This would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Assuming I get SW Russia, the latter would kind of be smack in my country. Sure something can be worked out though.

Asuming nobody has already claimed it, can I have the countries of N.Korea and Philiphines (sp?) as it seems to fit into my catorgory....Also somewhere along the lines I would need to contact Hrstrovokia about claims to one of his lands...

DontPissUsOff, my claims are on hold...I'm still trying to secure the city of Rome first.

Okay:

Witzgall just told me that I can have the city of Rome. He told me that you can TG him if you want proof.

So, DontPissUsOff, can we work out SW Russia?

Sharina, could you update please?

I had the US Midwest in the old Earth III. Right now I'm at about 1.4 Billion. I would like to shift east and claim New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan (both peninsulas), Illinois, and Wisconsin.

OOC: Anyone interested with helping me (re)annex East Australia from the "Unionists"? If so send me a T-gram and I can hook you up with what you need to know for the RP.

PS: By "help" I mean you control the Unionists and I kick your arse =P

Just sent you a TG, A Few Rich People.

I strongly recommend that we hold all RP's until Sharina organizes the claims and threads. Its all gotten pretty chaotic as is, and it will turn into a horrible jumble if everybody just goes and does their own thing. Just my thoughts.

Agreed Presgreif. We should just wait until most of Earth has been claimed, so we can all see where we stand. Sharina must be busy in that dreaded place, the real world. We shall just have to wait til he/she returns.

KommelianBerg claims jurisdiction over the territories of Turkey and Cyprus.

I dont beleive we should wait for most of the earth to be claimed, however I do beleive we should wait for Sharina to update.

Hasluck - Papua New Guinea - Also claimed by Taldaan
Phoenixius - Austria, Madagascar, Switzerland, New Zealand Japan [?]
San Renedingo -Luxembourg
Euroslavia -Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Andorra
Dimmimar -Egypt, Sudan, Gibraltar - Is Euroslavia extending his jurisdiction over Spain to Gibraltar? Please clarify!
Rome West - City of Rome, Oblasts of Rostov, Astrakhan and Volgograd - Also claimed by Dontpissusoff
Taldaan -Indonesia, Papau New Guinea - Also claimed by Hasluck
Vas Pokhoronim -Slovenia
Dontpissusoff -South-West Russia - Conflicts with Rome West's claims
New Empire -South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho
Eternal Dragons -North Korea, Philipines
West Cedarbrook -New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin
KommelianBerg -Turkey, Cyprus

This list is intended to help Sharina to sort out whats going on. With regard to control of islands, like Sardinia. Sardinia is part of Italy, I think thats clear. However, you can RP an attempted invasion, that's ok, but you have to contact whoever has control of Italy, which means Blacktower must contact Witzgall.

With regard to disputes over sovreignty, Risban has claimed Ireland, which traditionally means the whole island of Ireland. However, whoever claims Britain may well lay claim to Northern Ireland. Hence we have a conflict of interests. This needs to be sorted in someway, either by your own agreements or whatever.

so your saying that if someone claims France they get ALL of frances holdings? that doesnt make sense man. I beleive that Islands such as Sardinia should be considered separete for our RP's perpose. Not just because Im trying to annex it, but because that means that there is now countless islands that people can claim as their own.

Blacktower, that isnt realistic. There's too many islands across the world. It would just be chaotic.

Hrstrovokia, missed my claim on South Africa, Lesotho, and Namibia.

I'm pulling out of Earth III because I have everything I need in Earth II.

Due to Hasluck claiming it first, I withdraw my claim on Papua New Guinea. I didn't see his or her claim, and apologise for the inconvenience.

DontPeeUsOff, your claim over South-West Russia is the only one remaining, so I guess it's pretty much yours.

The Dominion of United North would like to claim Greenland. I know that in RL it belongs to Denmark, but as no one has claimed either Denmark or Greenland it should be available.

In RL there are about 60,000 inhabitants, so my small population should not be a problem?

By this logic, I would be able to claim the whole of Earth...

Hrstrovokia, I was actually thinking about doing what you did to help Sharina. However you got my claims wrong.

Switzerland and New Zealand are the ones that shouldn't be a problem, but you missed them out. Then I would like Austria and Japan. However if ModGuy gets Japan (looks like hes gone somewhere) I would like Madagascar.

Complicated, but hey.

Okay I'm back.

Had to go over to family's for a few days for Thanksgiving and no internet access there. I'll get right onto the claims and sorting stuff out.

I'll try to sort them out by tonight.

Also, thank you for your help, Presgreif. :)

I forgot to add that large islands are their own nations / states / provinces in this Earth III.

For instance, Denmark "owns" Greenland, but in this Earth III, Greenland is independent of Denmark. The same is to be said of Sardinia, Crete, Malta, Falkland Islands, etc.

However, this only applies to large islands like these. Small islands or atolls in the Pacific Ocean doesn't count as individual claims. They count as a chain, like "Solomons".

Your welcome Sharinia, dont mention my help whatsoever, anytime buddy... =/

Here's the approval / denial list so far.

Euroslavia: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Andorra = Approved*

Dimmimar: Egypt, Sudan = Approved*

Taldaan: Indonesia = Approved.

DontPissUsOff: Northwest and Southwest Russia = Approved**

New Empire: South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho = Approved.

Eternal Dragons: North Korea, Philipines = Approved.

West Cedarbrook: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin = Approved***

KommelianBerg: Turkey, Cyprus = Approved.

Phoenixius: Austria, Madagascar, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Japan = Approved****

I have questions about Hasluck and San Renedingo. I'd like to see them more active in RP'ing before I grant them claims. This is because I'd like to see activity in Earth III and RP'ing instead of "Claim and forget" like what has happened with quite a few of the old Earth threads.

I am holding Luxemborg and Papua New Guinea claim to see if these two nations will be participating in RP'ing, or hear from them. If I don't hear from them within a few days, or no activity in International Incidents within a week, I'll grant Papua New Guinea to Taldaan.

Now onto the individual * notes.

* = Euroslavia needs to clarify if he claims the Straits of Gibraltar part of Spain (The north half of Gibraltar).

Depending on Euroslavia's claims, Dimmimar can have the Straits of Gibraltar if Euroslavia doesn't claim it. If he claims the Spanish half of Gibraltar, Dimmimar can have the south half of Gibraltar located in Africa.

** = DontPissUsOff, do you still want Northwest Russia? I can grant both Northwest and Southwest Russia to you.

*** = It's stretching my limits a bit, Cedarbrook, but considering you were in the old Earth III, I am prepared to grant you these territories.

**** = Phoenixius, as Modguy hasn't responded, I am granting you Japan. To clarify things, in light of this, do you still want Madascagar?


Hope that helps clear things up regarding claims listings. Thank you so much again, Presgreif and Hrstrovokia for your help!

I'm going to put up a new section for RP listings based on feedback. :)

Sorry Dimmimar, I'm claiming the whole of the Straight of Gibraltar.

I take it you want the Southern half in Africa, correct? If so, I'll put it down.

United North, Greenland is a "Large" claim, so you have to settle down for the claim allowance for your population level.

Beltina, as these are all island chains and having 630'ish million people, your claim is approved.

On a side note, I'd like feedback on my population - claim framework (population - # of claims you can have). Is it reasonable or is it too strict or too lax?

Sharina, thanks for my claims. Madagascar was only there if you gave Modguy Japan, but if you would allow me to keep Madagascar, I'll do so, unless someone who's in more need coems along.

Plus I think the population - claims is very reasonable, and seems to be working out alright so far.

Thank you for the claims recognition, Sharina. Feel free to build an embassy in West Cedarbrook free of charge.

My little state seems to have been ignored again. Ah, well. No point in bitterness.
Sharina, I would like to claim Slovenia. If there is a problem, please let me know. (I haven't done anything with my claims in Earth V, but there I'm sandwiched between two vastly more powerful states who also do nothing--er, not that I'm complaining . . .)

I would like to claim Malta, and if it is possible I would also like to claim Sicily.

My apologizes, Vas Pokhoronim. I was confused regarding your claim since Presgreif claimed Slovakia.

You can have Slovenia (if it doesn't conflict with Presgreif's claim).

Korinthos, both your claims are approved.

Phoenixius, I will give you Madgascar. If you want to give it to a newcomer later on, just post it here or TG me, and then it shall be done.

Presgreif, the link is on my newly revised 2nd post in this thread, which had "Reserved" put in it. It now has a link to Blacktower's RP regarding Sardinia.

Blacktower, your annexation is approved, but keep in mind someone could invade it and take it from you later on.

Golencia, New Mexico is a Medium Claim, and you have to be 100 million to have a Medium Claim. However, I am willing to give you New Mexico if nobody else claims it within a week from today.

By then, your population will likely be close to 100 million anyways.

Could I please have the Balearic Islands and Carthage, which is The City of Tunis. Please.

Attn: Sharina

Slovenia is in no way part of my claims. I'm not sure how much European geography you know, and I'm not assuming that you're ignorant or anything like that, but just for clarification:
Slovakia, which is mine, was once part of Czechoslovakia, and shares a border with Poland.
Slovenia, on the other hand, was once part of Yugoslavia, and shares borders with Italy (to the west) Austria (to the north) and Croatia (to the south).
Hope that helps. :)

As for the Sardinia thread, its not my place to criticise, but maybe we should set a bit higher standard for conquest RP's? I dislike the fact that in other Earths, two or three sentences is enough to claim the conquest of some country. This could be a chance to actually get people to perform serious RPs when they want to expand their territory. Its just my personal preference, and I'm not trying to force it onto the group. Still, I think it might be a good idea. I would like everyone's input in this matter, if I may. ;)

Agreed Presgreif. Blacktower annexed Sardinia, landed troops [didnt state how many or anything like that] and now has claimed the island, which in actual fact belongs to Witzgall, who claimed Italy. Wtf?

I believe it was stated earlier that only the mainland of the nation, counted as the nation. For example, Denmark and Greenland are separate countries in this Earth, as well as Sardinia and Italy, and France and Corsica. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If we go along with that same logic, does that mean all of the US protectorates/colonies/territories are independent, such as Guam Puerto Rico, and even Hawaii?

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that.

I was simply trying to give a jump start in Earth III RP'ing because I'd like Earth III to be active and a fun place to play around in.

I am willing to hear your ideas how to manage this RP standards, Presgreif and Dimmimar. I do appreciate any and all feedback and support for Earth III, as I don't want it to become boring, too strict, or inactive.

Perhaps I could appoint special roles or positions for Earth III, like RP Director, Map-making Director, etc. Would that work?


Smarcronesia: Approved.

United North: Approved.

Dimmimar, as these European claims were alread taken, you can claim lands in Africa to conicide with your Egypt and Sudan claims.

Pernica: Are you sure? A Few Rich People is preparing to invade East Australia. If you absouletely want East Australia, you'll have to prepare to ward off his invasion.

Zackaroth: Approved.

Kilwaitey: I might have to put that claim on hold (explaination below).

I understand that you want to keep this world fun and active, but you must also, I think, maintain a certain standard. I for one don't want to be part of a world filled up by a bunch of obnoxious n00bs who's idea of a conquest RP is a series of moronic one liners. Maybe that's harsh, but that's the way it is. I think its a matter of chosing between one of two systems; either this becomes a world of high-quality RPing, or it becomes a world overun by the n00bish hordes.

Also, if you find you need help organizing claims, and modding E3 RP's, I would be more than happy to help you along with this. I don't think we need some fancy titles or anything, but it would probably be good to have two or three "staff" who would keep tabs on things. Hmm, I'm rambling a little, I think...

ATTENTION ALL

For now, all claims to nations are not being monitored. This is due to Witzgall possibly starting his war, or whatever, in Earth III, and Sharina being easy, or whatever. I'm not sure, I've had a few beers. Basically, if you keep adding claims, then we will have a massive back-log. Until Sharina has notified us, Earth III is in sleep.

Edit: Also, you've claimed to conquer "unclaimed land" controled by not 1, but 2 different players. How does that work? Did you even bother contacting Blacktower about your supposed conquest of Crete?

First of all, Blacktower was contacted over the Corfu thread, but declined to respond. Since islands are not considered part of the claim of major nations, I didnt bother contacting Blacktower a second time, case in point being Sardinia and Blacktower, who annexed that island but didnt contact Witzgall, but infact didnt have to, because Sardinia wasnt his.

If you look at the map of Europe, you'll see Corsica isnt claimed [island in the Mediterranean, close to France and Italy] Witzgall should have it, because he has claimed France and Italy, but it doesnt appear under his control, because islands arent included.

In the case of Western Turkey, I contacted KommelianBerg, and we came to an agreement. I have Western Turkey [the land mass on the European continent] while he recieved 3.5 Trillion Gil amongst other things. This is a similar event to that of the Alaskan purchase between the USA and Russia.

If somebody would actually rp back with me on Crete and Corfu, or even Western Turkey, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not conquering for the sake of having alot of land, I like war rps. They are fun, and I dont get to take part in many. Presgrief, if you'd like to join in, your more than welcome.

Claims on Earth III

Kilwatey – The Bahamas [Small – Population 23 million]
Pernica – Eastern Australia [Medium – 494 million]
Whittier – California, Panama, Bahrain and Belgium [Large, Small x2, Medium – 738 million]
Heosonfru – Newfoundland [Medium – 275 million]
Juosh – Alaska and Yukon [Large x2 - 1.391 billion]

These are the claims that have not been approved or denied, these are in limbo, since Sharina is away, and due to the whole Witzgall thing. I have no power to approve or deny these, I am merely posting them here to make it easier for Sharina to view whats going on.

There are currently quite a few roleplays in action on Earth III, including many annexations, which directly affect Earth III and all who dwell there. Just about all of these can be found on http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=377947&page=1&pp=15 [thank you Phoenixius!]

I would like to claim South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota and Nebraska. I have a pop. of 1.889 Billion so this should not be to large of a claim, is it?

The Kingdom of San Lucia would like to claim the nation of Luxembourg. My country has a current population of 16 million so I believe my claim is legitimate.

Congrats Sharina. Really, good job. You made an Earth that wasn't completely crap. I salute you.

Now onto the issues and claim approval / denials.

Which, I think, kind of makes sense...but on the other hand, alot of the established nations already have territory on other Earths, so if we adopted this rule, we would be denying ourselves quality RPers...

Presgrief, that is exactly why I have made it clear that if nations claim land in my Earth III, then they will be allowed to RP and claim lands in other Earth's like Earth IV, V, VI, VII, X, XXXXXX, etc.

This is because I want to encourage more RP'ing and international interaction. Layatreb and Colodia's rule in Earth II is much too restrictive in my opinion. Their Earth will suffer a lack of good RP'ing as some awesome multi-earth RP'ing will be unfeasible like the DA RP's and such.

----------------------
Presgrief and Hrstrovokia, I welcome your help and support with RP'ing and such.

I will maintain a high RP standard by immediately ejecting nations who act noobish or provide weak RP'ing from Earth III. This is noted in my initial post. Perhaps that would help the quality of RP'ing somewhat as people are forced to RP their invasions, annexations, politics, or whatever else in more than 1 paragraph or so.

Any other ideas?

---------------------
Claims:

Kilwatey – The Bahamas [Small – Population 23 million]

Granted.

Pernica – Eastern Australia [Medium – 494 million]

Pernica withdraws from Earth III so his claim is now free unclaimed territory.

Whittier – California, Panama, Bahrain and Belgium [Large, Small x2, Medium – 738 million]

Whittier, you can have either the following:

1. California.

2. Panama, Bahrain, and Belgium.

A nation with 738 million cannot claim 1 large "nation" AND additional claims until it exceeds 1 billion in population.

Heosonfru – Newfoundland [Medium – 275 million]

Granted.

Juosh – Alaska and Yukon [Large x2 - 1.391 billion]

You can only have 1 large claim for the 1 ~ 2 billion population range. You can have the other nation once your nation reaches 2 billion. You can however, claim 1 additional medium nation or 2 - 3 small nations with either Alaska or Yukon.

West Pacific- I would like to claim South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota and Nebraska. I have a pop. of 1.889 Billion so this should not be to large of a claim, is it?

Montana and Minnesota are large claims (They are rather big states). North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska are all counted as medium claims.

I am prepared to grant you Minnesota along with North and South Dakota. I am also prepared to give you Nebraska to give you a nice "bloc" of states to set up your nation in.

However, all is not lost. You can RP the annexation of Montana and / or Wyoming if nobody else claims it in a week or so.

---------------------------
I feel I need to clear up things.

Take note of the "OR" in the claims rules in the first post of this thread. They're guidelines on what a nation can have in regards to its size and population.

For instance, a nation with 800 million can claim 1 large claim, 3 medium claims, or 5 small claims.

That means it can claim perhaps 2 medium nations and 2 small nations. Or 1 large nation and 1 small nation. Or maybe 1 medium nation and 3 small nations.

Just not 1 large nation, 3 medium nations, AND 5 small nations all at once. That'd be like making 2 or 2 1/2 large claims which would be a little unfair and ridiclious.

Hope you guys understand.

------------------------
Anyways, I will update the claims post and add in the links to maps and RP catalog threads by tonight (Monday) or tomorrow.

Live well.

The Jan Mayen island is now pronounced as the fifth province of the Kingdom of Kopparbergs.

ooc: IMHO, that's a little too much territory for you to just up and claim. I personaly would only see you take this large chunk of the middle east after a long and juicy war RP.

it will be, trust me

if the RP isnt worth enough, i will forfiet them. Promise.

ROFL. I'd love to help out, but I'm afraid that at the moment I'm quite swamped, as I'm currently roleplaying this war thing and a major GDODAD summit. There's alot of great threads that I've unfortunatly had to pass by. Oh well. :(

Cool. :)

Well, I've begun taking over Taiwan and some other Russian island - its the thin island above Japan. The thread is here:

'Conquest of Taiwan and Ostrov Sakhalin' (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7645211#post7645211)

Greetings all!

I've finally updated the claims listings, and also added RP and thread links in the 2nd post of this thread.

San Lucia, your claim is approved.



I want to add a few things though.

First, if I don't hear any clarification or decision on claims such as Whittier, West Pacific, etc. for a week or two, their claims are invalid and become "free claims" once again.

Second, I'll need a few days to sift through these Earth III RP's to decide on approval or not approval of annexations and such.

Third, I'd like to TG Presgreif, Phoenixius, and Hrstrovokia regarding positions and assistance in Earth III.

Fourth, I appreciate all of your patience with me. After all, I cannot be on NS 24 / 7 and things do take time. Keep this quote in mind...

"All good things come to one who waits"

Well, I'll be awaiting your telegram then. ;)

We need more active RP's on Earth III, im tired of Seeing all these Earth II ones!

I would like some position in Earth III, if its not too much. Also can my claims of The rest of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Iran be verified?? Im RPing it now..here is the link

http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=378359

also use my forums if you wish. Sharina if you register i will give you admin access.

I would like Cambodia, Laos, any empty parts of Russia or Ukraine, Taiwan, or any open parts of Korea my nation is in the 2-3 billion population range. By the way the nation of Witzgall is a friend of mine.

also your gonna get that small Oil feild in iraq, so put Eropia a small little territory in the middle of iraq.

I'll be waiting for your TG Sharina. And I agree we need more active players in Earth III.

Phoenixus and Presgrief have been made mods in the Earth III forums.

Thank you Chinlanikistan. Once this war is over we will build a small town and military base near the oil field I would like to keep relations between our two nations strong too.

Eriopia, I believe that the eastern sector of Russia is open, as well as Cambondia and Laos. N. Korea is taken by eternal-dragons, and S. Korea and Taiwan are being fought over my me and eternal-dragons.

Rather than just go conquer some countries, is it too late to still claim them? I have 3 medium [Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania] and 6 small [Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia-Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia] claims. I was hoping to add Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, but if not I could just do a rp annexing them.

Ok Updated, more realistic claim. Just the rest of Iraq and All of Iran. No Saudi Arabia.

http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7668694&posted=1#post7668694

OK, got it, I get the Dakota's, Minnesota, and Nebraska with the option to annex Wyoming and/or Montana, thank you.

Okay I would like to take the Eastern section of Russia and Laos also. I would also like Turkey, Sierra-Leone (Africa) Somalia, and if possible Israel but if it is taken over I wold like India.

Eriopia, AS your 2.8bil pop or so, I'd say that you could have E. Russia and Laos, and ONE other of those last three. Sharina, feel free to put what you think would be the correct amount, but that feels right to me.

Okay no problem my terrirtorys will be: Laos, East Russia and Israel. Please update your roster so that Im in it. Thank you in advance.

My nation would like to lay claim to Liechtenstein. We have population of 10 million, therefore I believe its a reasonable claim.

OK unresloved claims are as follows:

Eriopia - Laos, East Russia and Israel
Lachenburg - Liechtenstein
West Pacific - Dakota's, Minnesota, and Nebraska

Pffft, what happened to my claim on Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia?! :)

Oh yeah one quick question: in that alphabetical order thing will I be added to it?

What about my claims in Iraq and Iran?

I would like Cambodia, Laos, any empty parts of Russia or Ukraine, Taiwan, or any open parts of Korea my nation is in the 2-3 billion population range. By the way the nation of Witzgall is a friend of mine.

I would suggest you study this thread and the Earth III maps before making claims. Also, the fact that Witzgall is a friend of yours has no bearing on whether or not any of your claims will be accepted, sorry.

Thank you. :)

Well, if we may still claim land, I would very much like to lay claim to Finland.

Well to those who asked why I hadn't put their claims up - its because I would have thought that you would have needed to RP the capture of them, considering you have already claimed territory up to your amount, and any others wuld have to be RPed.

Phoenixius; glade to catch you on. Can I get your MSN (TG it to me if you want) a bit of talking about the wars would be nice.

SHould be in my profile here on JOlt. Oh, well, its: elliasaubec@hotmail.com

DOn't try now - I'm off to work shortly, and I won't be back for 5 1/2 hours or so, starting now. I'm usually on during this time everyday (its morning here for me) unless my parents have me doing some jobs.

Ignore the tone of claims I wanted my final decision for terrirtory is:Israel, Cambodia, and Eastern Russia.

lets try not to claim too much land.

OK unresloved claims are as follows:

Eriopia - Laos, East Russia and Israel
Lachenburg - Liechtenstein
West Pacific - Dakota's, Minnesota, and Nebraska


For the third time, I understand that I have the Dakota's, Minnesota, and Nebraska, is their some sort of process to having them recognized?

Well, as far as I'm concerned, this n00bish post just disqualified you from participating in Earth III.

That's not n00bish, that's excessive compulisive ;)

West Pacific, the only reason I put that there on the list of unresloved claims, was because I checked o nthe first page, and Sharina hadn't put you on there. Neither had Sharina posted saying that your claim had been noted, and accepted. Hence I was listing it for Sharina's attention.

Sri Lanka, please. (if someone's already tken it, sorry). I have a 7 mill. pop and Sri Lanka is a small claim, sooo.......

That should be fine

Yay!

Another update for you guys! :D

Yafor 2, your claim is granted.

Lachenburg - Liechtenstein = approved.

Eriopia: Israel, Cambodia, and Eastern Russia = confirmed as you are a 2+ billion nation.

West Pacific, I approve or not approve claims in Earth III. There isn't a complicated process of claims or recongition. Also, you need to realize that I cannot be on 24 / 7 as I have considerable RL stuff to do everyday.

===========================
Regarding extra claims and stuff, I'd like to wait 1 more week, and if nobody else claims these lands, then you can RP annexation or whatever of these lands. :)

1) Welcome back Sharina, damnit! ;)
2) Well, are you going to be giving us Mod status, or no?

D'oh. I forgot about that! Thanks for the remainder.

Mod status is thereby granted to the three of you. I'd like to set up the following system.

You can confirm / deny claims if I am away for more than 3 days at a time, if my NS stats page says "Last Government Activity 3 days ago (or more)". You can summarize claims and provide advice when I am around / online / active.

However, to avoid problems if I am absent for more than 3 days, a claim will be passed if 2 out of 3 vote "yea" on it (to avoid "I don't like you, you don't get claim" problem). However, I reserve the right to veto / pass any claims.

Basically, I'm the "top mod" or "admin" of Earth III, and you three will have "2nd in command" status. Hope that clears stuff up, and hopefully this is reasonable. :)

Any feedback or opinion will be appreciated. Please TG me your feedback so not to clutter this claims thread.

Yay for the minions of Sharina!

*Eyes cross in confusion.* Ummm, okay. :D
Might want to edit it into your initial list of claims.

Ahhh sorry.

I'll put up a few examples.

Example 1:

Nation A claims something.

I am absent for more than 3 days ("Latest Government Activity, 3 days ago" or more).

Thus, it falls to Presgreif, Phoenixius, and Hrstrovokia to decide the claims.

Hrstrovokia votes yea.

Presgreif votes yea.

Phoenixius votes nay. (He doesn't like Nation A that much)

Nation A's claim is accepted (then I have to update it in the list).


Example 2:

Nation B claims a land.

I am here (active within 1 - 2 days).

Presgreif, Phoenixius, and Hrstrovokia TG me their opinion of the claim. TG support or not support claims, and why.

Then I'll act on the TG's and feedback. I'll post in here whether the claim is accepted or not.

The list is updated accordingly if Nation B claim gets recongized.


Basically, you three can fill in claim approval / denial if I'm inactive for a while. But if I'm around, I'll still take all the info and stuff, then act on it.

Hope that made more sense.

Yay!!! Does that mean that soon that Supa Cool map is gonna have the whole E. Russian Sector colored with my happy color!!! YAY!!! Im happy Im happy!!

OOC:Ill be claiming Papua New Guinea.
EDIT:Okay.. forget Malayasia... I just relized it was claimed.
EDIT2::Sighs: someone already has the Philipines

Okay, so here's the deal:

Sharina, I'm claiming Vatican City (which is within Rome) and the Rostov, Astrakhan and Vologograd Russian oblasts.

Witzgall: I want to work out some deal where I can at least claim Rome proper. I don't ask for anything else in Italy besides the city. You can have everything else in Italy- I just want my city. This would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Vatican City is in Italy, which is mine. I gave you Rome.

Vatican City is in Italy, which is mine. I gave you Rome.

Vatican City is in Rome.

Hehe...I see it now.

Alright.

When will this thing be updated anyway?

Why don't you ask the boss? :D

Yay, official mod status.

As for the map, you'll have to ask the map guy (forgot his name, doh!). I haven't seen him around recently though.

Someone may have to take over where he left off, if it turns out he won't be coming back...

I might do that, depending.

Anyways, could someone approve my claim of Ostrov Sakhalin: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7686242&posted=1#post7686242

Its at the end. The rest is about the taking of Taiwan. As there wasn't much interest in Ostrov Sakhalin, I made the posts fairly short so as not to detract from the Taiwan invasion, so if you require a longer post, just ask.

Done.

Can I still claim for land? My population is 1.023 billion, I think.

If it's possible, I would like to have Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti (Kenya as well, if possible. If my population won't let me then forget it). Djibouti is small, Somalia is medium, Ethiopia is medium, I'm not sure if Eritrea is medium or small, and Kenya is medium.

If someone else has any of these, sorry!

Well you can just check the first page, but looking quickly through that lot, it seems as though none of them have been taken yet. And they should be alright.

I myself see nothing wrong with your claim. The only reservation I do have is that judging by your post count you have no experience with NS RPing, and I'm not sure I'm to pleased about someone taking so much territory when they might probably never RP with it. I will await my peers' input in this matter before giving my approval for your claims.

That's no problem, I basically joined to get some experience (you're right, I haven't done any RPing at all yet), if you would rather I made a smaller claim I can do that. :). You can always force me to RP by invading me, anyway (and if you did, I would try, although I expect I would be massacred :D)...
