Introduction
Greetings and welcome!
In the year of 1860, is where you now find yourself. Across the world, the Industrial Revolution sweeps its way across Europe and the Americas, promising greater wealth, prosperity and destruction for all mankind.
Within the sphere of Europe, the nations of Britain, France, Austria and Russia, although still bitter from the aftermath of the Crimean War (exculding Austria), hold together a balance of power across the continent forged 45 years ago at Vienna, desperate to hold back the tide of Liberal change. However, with the seeds of nationalism, this balance will be soon put to the test as unifacation looms on the horizon in the lands of Central Europe and the Balkan penensulia gains her independence from the dying Ottoman Empire.
Meanwhile, in the Americas, the tedrils of Civil War seem inevitable between the States of America, as the Race for President begins. Already, the Southern States have announced their intentions for succession in the event that the upstart Abraham Lincoln from the newly founded Republican party wins the White House. Farther to the south, Civil unrest also prevails in Mexico where Conservatives and Liberals battle for control of the nation unaware that an Emperor 3000 miles away has already planned their downfall.
And the Age of Imperialism kicks to a start with Africa and Asia the prime battle ground for the nations of Europe, who desire the immense material wealth of these two reigons to fuel their growing Industrial Complexes.
Now the remainder of history must be paved and it is time that you, noble Role-Player, take the reigns of your own desired faction and drive to victory. Make alliances, or shatter them. Scheme amongst your fellow man. Do whatever it takes to secure your nation's place in history and save it from the cauldron of doom and defeat.
Are you ready?
Rules and Regulations
The Rules and Regulations of this forum are quite simple.
Application:
Any guest is permitted to join the game. Simply submit a claim for any currently exsisting nation that has not been previously claimed. Once a Moderator and/or Administrator has confirmed your claim, please go ahead and begin Role-Playing in any of the established In-character threads.
Limit equals one nation per Role-player.
Realism:
To ensure that the general RPing experience is fun and exciting, he highly demand that nations adhere to a certain level of Realism, although an encyclopedic knowladge of the era is not required. If in doubt, Please refer to any Search Engine or Encyclopedia of your choice. That should give you a pretty clear idea of what your nation is currently capable of and on the occasion may provide you with good Role-Playing ideas. In truth, Realism enhances the role playing experience to a higher level, which is my goal in the Role-Play.
Population and Economics:
Both Population, as well as economics, deals solely with those of your Role-Played nation anywhere from 1850-1870. Furthermore, players are to adhere to the rulings set in place by both the Administrator and Moderation staff at all times. Under no circumstance will this rule be revoked.
Invasion and Colonialism:
Nations may actively Role-Play the invasions of nearby neighbors and other inactive powers. However, for the conflict to be declared legitamite, an Administrator or Moderator is required to Role-Play the opposing force and its leaders.
In the event that the conflict is between two actively Role-Played nations, the conflict will be carried out in a normal manner with each side deciding its own movements, strategies, casualties ect. However, if the conflict develops into an arguement of any sort, a Moderator and/or Administrator has the right to step in and assist in continuing and/or ending hostilities.
Inactivity:
Perhaps one of the greatest problems facing any Role-Play of this sort is the inactivity of nations that have intended to participate. Thus, in an attempt to overcome this problem, the rules for inactivity are simple. If the player of a claimed nation fails to post at least once a week without proper excuse, they will be removed from their post. Furthermore, all players have the right to remove a player from their nation by means of a democratic petition due to inactivity.
Also, in the event that a certain nation is required in an ongoing Role-Play, a moderator or administrator will be assigned to the nation's affairs and will continue that nation's participation in the events in question until the inactive player has returned or another player has claimed the nation.
Ignore Policy:
No ignoring at all. Players who deserve ignoring will generally be deleted on sight. There is no reason you should ignore someone else. In the event a situation occurs, which, under normal NS cirmustantces, requires an Ignore, it will be promptly sorted out by a Moderator.
Administration Staff:
As I imagine that our following will become somewhat large, it is obvious that a Moderating staff is needed to aid the Administrator in his duties of managing the Role-Play.
If you are interested in such a position, please feel free to telegram me, detailing your interests along with any credentials you may have. I intend to only have the finest of players in these positions so do not feel bad if your application is rejected.
Currently, there are two Moderator positions open. As time goes on, more may be added.
Moderators:
Other Regulations:
General rules on godmoding and flaming applies. Administrators have the right to Delete on Sight (DoT) and the moderators have the right to warn or enforce their powers when the occasion deems them neccisary. However, in the event that a Moderator and/or Admin has been observed over-extending their powers or inflicting un-neccisary rulings multiple times, they will be removed of their moderating status.
Furthermore, all OOC chat is to be kept within the 'OCC' thread at all times and political debates/comments within both the OCC or IC sections is strictly prohibited, as this category tends to lead to flaming and further arguements.
If you wish to comment on someone's actions in an IC thread in an OCC fashion, please either Tg the player in question or put up a topic of discussion in the OCC Thread where it can be adressed properly.
