OOC:

Click here for the IC Thread. (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7763014)

This is a new continent thingy. However, it's not going to be like the others. here are some ground rules:

1) Wars are allowed and encouraged between colonial forces. The mainlands, however, are not interested in escalating the conflict beyond the colonies, and so they are not allowed to declare war on each other's main nations. However, the mainlands can send re-inforcements to the colonies and fight a war by proxy in the colonies over land.

2) You do not claim chunks of land and then they're yours OOCly by law. You can say that you claim as much land as you like, but the other nations dont have to recognise your claim. Still, if youre a massive nation they will want to respect your wishes so you dont pwn their colony.

NEW3) All native countries start with a pop of 60 - 100m as determined by their owner until their NS screen pop passes that mark. It should also be noted that landing more than say 10,000 people (even troops) is impractical due to supply concerns.

4) THere are already inhabitants on the continent. Treat it like a new Earth, except it is made up not RL and it isnt "inter-dimensional". The nations are "claimed" by players (not Nations) who RP them as they get invaded / traded with / left alone. Im trusting you all to be impartial and not use your ownership of that nation to let your troops walk all over it. Really you shouldnt attack "your" nation. The native nations are at most early 20th century (ie WWI) tech. Most are 19th century or before. You can sell them more advanced tech, but that might not be advantageous.

Here is the map:

Save it and edit it to demonstrate what you've taken / front lines in a war etc, but that will not be "official". The only official map will be my editted bitmap version (to prevent horrible colour degredation).

Here are the native nations and their players. If you want to be allowed to invade and carve out your own colony, you MUST play a native nation too:

Janilulu - Fodmodmadtol
Ujibagola - Belem
Ostenburg - TIoR
Pitalis - Ulntran warriors
Parldamia - DontPissUsOff
Angleschtadt - Praetonia
Yoshiunkia - Falastur
Potterdam - Tokarev
New Ostenburg - Momanguise
Tash - Dumpsterdam
Central Gulant - Red Tide2
Nashakui - Jonothana
Hitijulo - Sarzonia
Cantan-Peotilan - Golencia

I'm claiming Parldamia, for which I will use my puppet, unsurprisingly called Parldamia.
Jonothana
21-12-2004, 20:59
I'll have Nashakui.
Golencia
21-12-2004, 21:10
Cantan-Peotilan if i may
Momanguise
21-12-2004, 21:16
New Ostenburg please.
Fodmodmadtol
21-12-2004, 21:17
Janilulu, Please? Imperialism is fun. This seems as if it can become interesting.

OOC:I will take Central Gultant... If we can claim tiny sections of a nation I will also claim a strip of west Hitijulo and east Tash, if not than just Central Gultant.

Unfortunately you cant do that... these native nations are meant to be 'proper' nations like ours, just less advanced so that when our main nations invade they dont face a huge and well armed continent. The native nations' tech level really depends on the whim of the person playing it but it will never be beyond WWI. Most are Napoleonic - WWI and whatever's in between. A few maybe less advanced than that. When your main nation invades you ought to pick a landing site away from 'your' native nation so you arent just RPing against yourself. It would be best to create a puppet for your native nation too, so people dont get confused.

OOC:The puppet thing will be a problem... I dont have the time to support 2 nations at once.
Bittereinder
21-12-2004, 21:28
I'll take Potterdam.

Crap, I just realized I am logged on under a small puppet. My actual nation is Tokarev.

Tokarev (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Tokarev)



EDIT: Actually, wait. I will RP as Bittereinder as I am planning to retire Tokarev soon, anyway. So yeah, I am sticking with Bittereinder, and Potterdam is my colony.
Praetonia
21-12-2004, 21:31
That's fine. Can you log in as Tokarev now? Or do you still have that login bug?

OOC:The puppet thing will be a problem... I dont have the time to support 2 nations at once.
You dont need to use a puppet if you dont want to, but if you do you dont need to answer the issues or anything. It's just an alternate posting name. EIther that or just write: "Central Gulant" at the top of your posts as it.

OOC:Actually I have an idea to use what is called a POV(Point of View). There will be Red Tide Colonist and Central Gulant POVs. Whenever I switch POV I will put the name of the nation POV before continuing on with the post. This will make things alot simpler and also avoid double posts.
Praetonia
21-12-2004, 21:38
ok
Potterdam
21-12-2004, 21:40
I unfortunately still have the log in bug, which is what is forcing me to retire it. Too bad, too. Oh well, it's nice to start fresh, this way I can RP a new type of nation. And here is my puppet.
Golencia
21-12-2004, 21:42
OK So i should make a puppet named Cantan-Peotilan?

Also when do we start and will it be here or in another thread? Or is it as you said we just act like a normal Earth
Belem

ooc: I'll take Ujibagola


Edit: In order to avoid the insane population growth present with NS nations what should be used as the general population for each tract of land?
Praetonia

Tokarev: That's a shame... Tokarev is quite a big nation.

Golencia: Yeah you should. This is just a continent, so a like a new earth but with none of this multi-dimensional rubbish. You can RP here or in your own thread.

Belem: Ok.

((OOC: Time to start da RP!))

Now the story behind this colonization is a strange one. It was on a bet. A few hundred thousand disgruntled Rosians, led by a man named Johan von Fastoon and Alexei Czarinski, complained about the current Government. They complained to Sergei, calling him a commie pinko scum, and he is really. So Sergei in a fit of rage gave them 20 large (and I mean large) transports, the latest military supplies, medical supplies, and anything else needed to live and told them to find a new land. They said that if they didn't find it in one month then the Rosians would locate them and take them back. And if they did land, they would have full Rosian support.

Unfortunately, they found a new land in two weeks. Though they didn't know what it was called, in the map of the natives it was called Angleschtadt. But unfortunately, a storm caused the group of 20 to seperate, sending 50,000 colonists to the land of Janilulu. So now, there were 50,000 people in Angleschtadt and 50,000 people in Janilulu. Johan von Fastoon was in Angleschtadt and Alexei in Janilulu. And both landing at the tips of the coasts.

As soon as the transports landed on both coasts, they started unloading many things. Tanks, weapons, people, building materials. Hell they thought the place was empty and they would push further inland. Ironically, they didn't know that their Rosian bretheren was on the other side, for they thought they sunk and died. And as soon as they landed, Sergei received a communication from both colonies.

To President Sergei-From Alexei Czarinski:

We landed and found a continent. We won the bet, now the supplies?
-Alexei Czarinski

To President Sergei: From Johan von Fastoon:

We found land. I told you we would win, now. Do you mind if you could send
some more colonists?
-Johan von Fastoon

Of course, Sergei was angry. But he agreed. And soon posters were being set up all around the Confederation. They went as such.

Come to the new lands of the Confederation! Till it, own land, you know the deal! Cheap prices too! Transportation free, weapons are free also!

And so, Rosians started boarding ships from all over the Confederation to come to these un-named pieces of land.

The RP is happening on the IC Thread (link at the top) and all the spaces are full so there's no need to keep bumping.
