NationStates Jolt Archive

Hello, I am a new nation here. My nation is a Syrian Empire, its capital is Damascus. I would like to ask about these tech levels, what is PT, MT, FT and so on? Also, anyone who wants to be a friend or ally of my nation, just ask. Thank you for your time in reading this

Hello, I am a new nation here. My nation is a Syrian Empire, its capital is Damascus. I would like to ask about these tech levels, what is PT, MT, FT and so on? Also, anyone who wants to be a friend or ally of my nation, just ask. Thank you for your time in reading this

All right. PT is past tech. MT is modern. PMT is Post Modern. FT is future. There's also fantasy tech.

Are you able to be all of these techs at once, because I was aiming for PT and than wondering this question. Also, thanks for the explanation, Moantha.

PT = Past Tech (ranges from ancient to just before now; mostly ancient/medieval)
MT = Modern Tech (Now, along with stuff in development now; some define it as now to 2020)
PMT = Post Modern Tech (Stuff that's conceivable now; some define it as 2020-FT)
FT = Future Tech (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.)
NFT = Near-Future Tech (kinda like Starship Troopers; fairly rare around here)

Tech mixing doesn't work for one nation; however, if you have puppets (or simply want to rp as different nations), go ahead.

Glad to have you! Did you read the stickies? They're a useful guide for how to get started...

Thanks for the info and welcome, The Beltway. I have read the stickies. I hope that I do good in NationStates. Also, I am thinking of being PT but I am considering the others.

Hello and welcome to Nationstates! We are glad to have you and hope you stay. The key to understanding what we are doing here is understanding role-playing. Go the the "International Incidents" main board and click the threads that say "sticky:" next to them. It'll give you a head start. Till then, have fun!

Thanks for your welcome and the info, The Gupta Dynasty. I hope to have fun here in NationStates. Also, what is International Incidents for?

I think you will. Past tech, you say? Set up a factbook, set up some sort of rp (perhaps a succession crisis?), and jump right in..

I'm MT/PMT, so I probably won't interact with you. Sorry...

International Incidents are where stuff happens in your nation that's of significance to the rest of the world, such as wars, trade, diplomacy, etc.

The Beltway, I understand if you can't interact with my nation, that's fine. I am a past tech nation (could you tell me of others?). I have already set up some sort of RPG already by the way. Also, thanks for the info.

You know, in retrospect, I should have pointed you in the appropriate direction in the first place...
Read this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=462780) thread, then see if you could jump in. Have fun!

Thanks, I will look at this thread.

On the part of RPing all of them... Personally, I use Illior as a MT nation, but I also use it to RP FT, but never mixing the two... and welcome...

I see you've gotten yourself started in the PT community. I don't know much about that community, but suspect you'll have a good time. Welcome to II!

Thanks for the welcome, Beltway. Also, did you see my PT RP, ''The Empire of Syria''? How did I do on it so far?

Yeah; not bad so far, although I'd introduce a character or two. Then again, I like to have named characters so that I can develop them in the future if I want...

Thanks. I will add some characters now.

I have added some characters now. Could some past tech nations come in and join?

Y'know I would but my nation is in transit, they'll be there soon I promise.

I will wait for them then, Toops. Also, your nation on the map is right on the edge of Russia.

yeah long story short, massive civil war against goblin overlords, Frozopia came in and saved the day then enslaved the peoples, then my peoples got the idea to exodus across the lands.

That is a interesting story but why do your people want to settle in deserts? Just wondering.

k, Prophet and his buddies went up this mauntain and had a halucination about seeing the former Human King Luni, he told them to travel West and they did.

That is a good story, Toops. Also, perhaps we could RP talks over Arabia when you are ready. Also, RP means Role Play, right?

right, I'm willing to skip ahead a few months instead of waiting around for Russ winter to make it safe for travel again, I'm there, I'll RP my people hitting your borders.

That would be good. Skip ahead and have your people hitting my borders to the Arabian Peninsula. Have them come into Persia, I would like to own Persia.

done and done, and also, how would you feel about a small friendly war just to kick it off, I mean my people want the peninsula and so do yours it's inevitable, don't worry the result will still suit us and it's not as if any of us have a major advantage on the other, what do you say?

I guess we could but perhaps just arguing over it could be good but a war would be ok, though I would need help in doing a war. Also, I replied to your post on the thread I made, nice post.

It wouldn't be anything major and once my people realise defeat (they are outnumbered, fatigued and fighting on foreign soil in foreign climate) they'll slink back to a safe perimiter, I'd be willing to give what little conflict RP help is needed.

I guess we could do that then, just tell me when you are ready.
