Thanks for the reminder, I had totally forgotten about that.

However, not everything is fixed. That post and the ensuring debate solved most of the problems, but we still don't have a way of easily calculating losses and that was the main problem.

I still have some of the stuff I was working on for the calculator, but it's far from complete. I was only just getting started on it when most of the Earth V members become inactive and hence why I stopped working on it. I could start working on it again, but it would be at least a month, probably more before I could post anything of use.

Amen, you said it in the first part.

However, I sincerely hope that this "calculator" isn't anything like the laughable 'resolution' to the American War you must've come up-with while either inebated by something you were smoking or drinking. No offence. :rolleyes:

Seems like I have enough choice ;)

But just to be sure, is my claim for Texas confirmed? Then I can start working on my fact book.

No offence taken, considering the laughable irony of your statement.

As the rules on the first page state (rather confusingly, I know; the logic is that massive projects can be completed without it taking forever, but technology never advances beyond the modern era):

"Time is NS time, but the year is always the RL year.

1 x

7 360

7x = 360
x = 360/7
Thus one day RL = ca. 51.42857142857142857142857142857 days Earth V
Thus one hour RL = ca. 2.1428571428571428571428571428571 days Earth V"

The actual year is the RL year. However, in terms of how fast long-term RPs progress (but wars and the like progress in "fluid time"), 51.43 days go by each RL day. For example, one can build a skyscraper in five RL days if it normally would take 257.15 in RL, but the progress of Earth V time toward the end of the year would still only be five days.

Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but why don't you just acquire some C-17s and avoid having to wait all those years? The Il-76 is also an option.

I was planning on starting a program to reverse-engineer some C-17s I acquired a long time ago from Sharina. This way I would be able to acquire as many as I needed without having to relay on Sharina. Interested in joining the program and splitting the cost?

The reason the date was moved up is because my People's Republic has a MUCH bigger budget. I mean mine is more than 3 times the size of the RL People's Republic. My Research budget is $555,163,924,000, My production budget is $100,000,000,000. I have allot more Money resources than the RL PRC so I should be able to produce a cargo plane ALLOT faster.

The reasons I don’t go for the Il-76 is because the player that produces them is not active. And the player with the C-17s is dead. So they are kinda out of the question.

Ah well I have the C-17 as well because of the Royal Air Force having them and if I am not mistaking the British can produce more if need be. I also do have a some Il-76s from my Vladivostok holding.

Owning a tiny piece of Russia is not sufficient to produce Russian equipment; it would be unfair to Great Romeo otherwise. Especially since the land in question used to be owned by Tene[something] before GR took it over, meaning that real-world military locations do not apply for Russia, according to the take-over RP rules.

While, it is true you have a much higher budget, anything to do with Research and Devoplment in Earth V proceeds at the same speed as it's real life counterpart instead of in NS Earth V time. However, to produce(build) things proceeds at Earth V time with each Earth V year being about 1 Real life week.

So, your research for the Y-10 won't be finish to or around 2020 both in real life and in Earth V. Another example is the Neuron-Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle with research and development not expected till end to 2011. Were we using Earth V time, the Neuron would of entered service decades ago, but it hasn't since R&D is tied to RL time.

I know remembering all these time frames get a little confusing, but you'll pick them up.

As to the C-17s, as I said I plan to manufacture the aircraft not under licence and will more then likely offer some for sale on the international market to recoup the costs associated with having to build a aircraft without the majority of the technical support needed. However, since the Republic has extensive knowledge in building complex equipment, it should only take around 4-6 Earth V years to complete the project.

Ah well I have the C-17 as well because of the Royal Air Force having them and if I am not mistaking the British can produce more if need be. I also do have a some Il-76s from my Vladivostok holding.

The Royal Air Force has four in service with a fifth to be delivered in 2008. However, the United Kingdom does not produce the C-17 nor does any other nation except the United States or in our world Sharina. Hence, my reason for wanting to start a program to be able to build the C-17 locally in the Republic. I couldn't interested you in selling me two of those C-17s so I can take them apart to copy them. Once, I'm able to build them myself, I'm willing to return you two brand new C-17s plus a few others if you want them all for free.

How long after a player nation becomes inactive does it revert back to it's real world situation or does that never happen?

That makes no sense at all, and kinda makes the whole framework for this rp, well, dumb. I'll wait for TG6R to give a ruling.

UE: Under the current rules, the answer would be: never. That is one of the things that may be modified as the official rulebook to guide Earth V is discussed and developed (there's currently only the draft version to which I linked awhile ago).

What part of it do you think makes no sense?

The rationale for the odd time method is that Earth V players will never go too far beyond the current state of technology. They may, however, stay reasonably within it, such as producing on Earth V a weapon that currently exists in real life as a fully functional prototype of a weapon that is designed to enter into production in a few years.

It’s not going beyond any MT tech. It’s basically a Chinese C-17, there’s nothing beyond 2008 tech about it. What doesn’t make sense is I can't produce things that other countries can. I should be able to design and produce new equipment, as long as it dosnt go beyond 2008 tech.

Ok I have been watching the Time Line of things and I think that we should not just stick with 2008 as our time line I think that we should be able to do more then just 2008 technology as I know that we should be able to go about 4 years advance of our current technology. As it will help us move things into the next cycle of events. I understand that we can produce a great number of weapons and other equipment that is needed but we need more the just current weapons and equipment to show that we are producing.

I agree with this, but you have to consider that there are some limitations to building a "Chinese version" of another country's stuff. If that were the case, I could simply build an "Arab version" of the best of the best. And while it's tempting, it's not a reasonable thing to assume, mostly because we each have our own technical limitations. What is more probable and in fact much easier to arrange is purchasing the aircraft from the country of origin [or even better, making arrangements for a DPR license] and making it that way. We have bloated budgets anyway - you can afford to spend some money. [and if you need help figuring out your budget... damn, I wish Kopparbergs were still here...].

I disagree with this [although in the past, I might have...].

We already have substantially useful equipment in our present world. Why risk creating an arms race by allowing people with more inventive minds to use new technology to create new stuff that's possibly feasible in the next 4 years [and possibly feasibly is so broad...]?

I agree, I'm not saying it’s going to be the best plane ever. I'm just saying that I should be able to design and build my own transports, without having to wait till the Real 2020. I mean, E5 might not even be around for 12 years, I certainly won't.

What I mean is if you could find your nations that are currently working on new weapons and equipment for your nations military that we should be able to produce or do R&D faster then the real world as many of us will not be here when they are able to be used in this simulation. I think that it would allow a new taste to the simulation. Also if we could complete some of the current projects that our nations are doing that would give us more to use and sell to others. But this is just my thoughts on the subject.

While, I agree with you that the Y-10 is not going beyond MT as I understand it, it is however going beyond 2008 tech. 2020 ≠ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_equal) 2008

Furthermore, it should be noted that the Y-10 [as you call it] at this moment is nothing more then a concept. What happens in the next 5 to 10 years is anyone’s guess. The program could be canceled, put on hold or completely redesigned within that timeframe. The aircraft could end up looking more like the Il-76, the C-5 or have a completely new look depending on where the program goes. It should also be noted that the Chinese haven't even given the real aircraft a proper designation yet, a sure sign as any that the program is still in it's infancy.

So, in closing- it's not basically a Chinese C-17 which implies it's a copy of the C-17, which it is not. It is an completely original design and hence why the program has such a long R&D time.

Expanding the rules any further would make it too easy for any player to claim the ability to produce almost anything. Quite honestly, I think even the current rules on RL corporations are quite lenient (e.g., France producing aircraft made in RL with a fuselage from Germany and selling that aircraft to China without Germany's permission is fine on Earth V).

The fact that the technology itself is conceivable in 2008 is not enough in this case: it's the fact that China is trying to produce it that is the bigger problem in my view, and the Earth V version of China (Tristan Providence) is not yet a technologically advanced society with a booming aerospace industry like that of the United States.

But remember that there may be new technology rules in the future as the Earth V Modus Operandi is refined.

So your not saying I have to wait till 2020, I just have to wait till my china is more advanced?

Essentially, but basing it on the real Y-10 would be a bad idea (and not allowed) for the reasons that UE pointed out; it would be better to just design a brand new aircraft at that point.

Or even the European Union and EADS for that matter.

About the Modus Operandi, I'm thinking that maybe we should create it's own thread and start posting our ideas and agreements there so it's all in one place instead of spread throughout all the pages on this thread.

What do you all think?

The following people confirm your existence:

Vineyard... I doubt it, but I've got to try...
Zaheran
Blair Island
Muryan Endor
Cavanah

Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum (I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.)

Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum (I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.)
But it's an indirect statement (http://www.dl.ket.org/latin2/grammar/grammar-d117.htm), meaning that the proper translation of what you are trying to say would be cogito me cognoscere ergo cogito me cognoscere esse, I think.

Anyway, welcome back! (And please stay active.)

Zaheran will not be added to ye olde RED LIST.

Granate - A Brave New World awaits you.

Just to let everyone know, Sharina's nation has been recreated so hopefully we should be hearing from him/her soon.

That's good to hear Sharina might be back. I hope he's feeling better.

It's good to hear something has happened in the time intervening...

I hope Sharina's better, as well.

---

I am giving advanced warning that I may not be available from April 4th-April 21. Quite ironically, I'll be in the prize territory of the Monocracy during that time: Germany. Sharina is in charge, or ALM, if Sharina is not around.

Well, thank god for Spring Break I guess. I'll be the only one here :D

Granate - A brave new world is still waiting for you.

Can I still join this wonderful RP?

Can I still join this wonderful RP?

I have no qualms against it. But as I'm just the map maker [along with some other special attributes], I'll have to differ the decision the TG6R [who may or may not be here, which then would mean Sharina would make the decision... who also may or may not be here, in which case... I guess... I would make the decision... yeah...]. I've checked your resume and it seems quite impressive. I hope TG6R sees the same.

I thank you. Which nation or territory can I claim at the moment now that I see that you are map maker?

I thank you. Which nation or territory can I claim at the moment now that I see that you are map maker?

MAP (http://www.freewebs.com/ducdesaintlazare/world.2.0.PNG)

Take a look at the map.

Most of the gray shaded areas are open.
The striped areas are under claim.
And any color means that someone owns them [a key conveniently provided at the right].

There are some territories that were owned previously by other players - all of them on my Red List. The Red List can be found on the opening post of the Map Thread [link here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493109)].

You're welcome to post a claim, but I'd wait until TG6R approves the claim before doing anything. I'm fairly certain that he'd let you stay.

EDI - There's a point system also - so there is a limit to how much you can claim. I believe the threshold at the moment is one big country or two/three small countries. Just make a claim and TG6R will tell you if it's too big or not [and often some suggestions on a good claim too].

I'll post a claim and wait for TG6R to see it and approve it. Maybe you can help me too.

Claims: Australia, India, Argentina

Please feel free to comment on it.

EDIT - Oh! sorry I didn't saw your edit so I'll claim Australia as a big country, and New Zealand. But if TG6R approves I would like to claim the first 3 Countries.

In my experience, TG6R would probably approve Australia. And he'd mention that if you want New Zealand, you could start as Australia and invade/occupy/take up New Zealand later [it's a good test as well to see how you'd react in EV].

Before starting anything new, I'd strongly suggest taking a look at the Map Thread, as there is a semi-official FAQ board written by a former member - Kopparbergs. It has a lot of useful information there that could help you out once you do join in [I say once, because it seems to me that there's nothing preventing you from joining in].

Thank you for your help, man. I'll do need to read these FAQ questions and I need to sharpen my RP skills. Thanks again.

Yes, I'm fully aware you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

However, in case you miss my notice all military equipment produce/sold by the Republic is in a momentary freeze.

Sorry UE I didn't saw your claims. I have a population of 1.1 Billion so I can take 2 Countries and 1 Island. So it will be Australia and New Zealand for now. Please feel free to comment about my claim.

Hey all,

I'm finally back. I managed to get my nation restored after it automatically deleted for over 60 days on vacation mode. I had far more on my plate the past few months than I'd expected, so I really didn't have time for NS or RP'ing in general. Fortunately, I've recovered fully from my gallbladder surgery and a nasty flu. I also am all caught up on my college workload. My semester ends in 4 weeks so I should be on more often from this point onwards, and be on a lot this summer since I won't have anything fun to do in my town which I call Hicksville, USA.

Can someone fill me in with what has happened the past few months?

Well...since Kopp got deleted there was a mad dash to take over his territories with me taking Niger, UE taking Algeria and Morocco and ALM taking over Nigeria. There's no a little espionage escape thing going on with some of my people running away from TG6R and ALM after killing the Emir. Other than that I can't really think of much.

Sharina, can you approve my two claims? Australia and New Zealand. Please comment anything about these claims.

Sharina, can you approve my two claims? Australia and New Zealand. Please comment anything about these claims.

I believe your claims are reasonable. You can set up shop in Australia and New Zealand, then from that point onwards, RP any expansion. Expansion leads to conflicts, which makes for great RP.

On another note, I think I might be able to resume my Indiana, Ohio, and East Michigan RP, as well as finish up the Haitian / Dominician Republic RP. Basically wrap up stuff I left hanging last year. I think I can do that this weekend. The posts probably will be shorter than usual until I get more time after the semester ends in 4 weeks.

Ok, thanks. So I have Australia and New Zealand and then I can RP any other expansion that I want?

Well depending on what you would like to buy I know that my arms dealers are willing to produce and deliver weapons to your great nation.

Yea, you got it.

I cannot update the claims list since TGSR created this thread. I was wondering if you guys think a new Earth V thread would be a good idea, since this thread is like 30 pages long on a 40 posts per page setting. Or would you rather stick to this old E-V thread?

Just wondering since I can keep track of claims and update whenever necessary if I create a new E-V claims thread.

I know and you have nothing to apologize for. I've been trying to get ALM to re-add those few South American territories awhile now. Though the map may be a little out of data and have a few inaccuracies (which should hopefully be fixed when ALM gets some free time), I created a thread of Earth V nations that list their current claims and I would highly recommend you consult that thread as I try to keep it as up to date as possible. Which reminds me, when I get a chance I'll have to add you in.

The link for the thread can be found in my stickies. Click on the one called The Nations of Earth V.

As to your claim, Australia and New Zealand is a good choice for a starting position. Others would have been Brazil, some of the American States, a few of the open European countries.

Welcome back, good to hear your feeling better. As to what you have missed, not much. Besides the fall of Kopps and the Roleplay that started because of it the only other major activity going on is in relation to the fall of Vineyard and that spy thing Candistan mentioned. It's been nice and quiet for the most part.

While, your wrapping up old stuff you might want to take a look at the post I did for bringing the American War to some type of conclusion. If you want you can view it through one of two ways as I posted it twice. Once in the main IC thread for the American War and another one in the Main Earth V international incidents thread. Or if you want I can dig up the direct link to it for you. Do note though that what I typed up is merely a rough draft as I was fully expecting to get input from both you and Vineyard. So feel free to edit what you see fit with your positions and/or points of view, should you choose to edit it.

Also, I was wondering if you would be interested, when you got some more time, in doing a roleplay of some type, that would settle the division of DP's lands and each nations sphere of influence, peacefully.

The link for the thread can be found in my stickies. Click on the one called The Nations of Earth V.

Stickies? What do you mean? I haven't been in Jolt since last fall, so I dunno what new features Jolt has or how to use them (if any).

I could try to read up on these this weekend and get something rolling. I don't have the links to the war threads since it has been like 4 - 5 months since I was last here in Jolt, I think, can't remember.

Looking forward to doing RP's with you, UE. I'm game for it.

I participated in a few other earths under the name Ambrose-Douglas before I was deleted... I only had a small claim in mind anyways... but yeah, I was wondering. Let me know, thanks.

This thread is actually a whopping 78 pages long on the 40-posts-per-page setting, which I use. It would be a good idea to create a new thread, but perhaps we should wait until we finalize the new SOP?

Thanks for the links, buddy.

As for the stickies, I don't see anything at the bottom of anybody's regular posts. All I see is the grey dividers dividing the previous post and the next post. No extra text or stuff like that.

I thought your war wrap-up post looks nice. So as they say, let it be written and let it be done. That post can conclude the war, allowing everybody to move on with RP's and stuff. Hopefully with the "war" done, we can learn from our RP'ing mistakes and make even better RP's in the long run.

Could I claim the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Cabinda, Rwanda, and Burundi?

Oh, well then it sounds like you don't have them enable for if you did you would see links to threads titled The Nations of Earth V, Earth V factbook so on at the bottom of my posts. BTW, their officially called signatures, but I'm still going to call them stickies.

Well, in that case it is indeed written. Written around 6 months ago. So, I'm well ahead of you. Anyway, as I said before if you feel like adding anything in let me know and I'll edit it in. Again, it's good to have you back.

Thanks.

Cabinda: A small enclave belonging to Angola, sandwiched between the two Congos.

In that case, why don't you just claim Angola? It's has a similar population base to Rwanda and Burundi with 12,263,596 compared to 18,296,014 for Rwanda and Burundi combined. Angola also offers a few advantages neither Rwanda nor Burundi have, a pretty good oil and natural gas sector as well as a larger area to start off with. And you can always start a Roleplay to claim Rwanda and Burundi, which would allow to get active within Earth V pretty quickly.

That way by claiming Angola you are more in line with the three nation rule. However, your free to do whatever you want and if you want those specific nations to start out with, more power to you. In closing, welcome to Earth V.

Wow. I thought Cabinda was a fictional nation from a movie or something. At any rate, you can have Cabinda in addition to your initial claims.

I'm still trying to find my earlier RP's relating to annexing the Caribbean not owned by the RUN and Candistan, and the RP related to Ohio, East Michigan, and Indiana. I recall starting something about East Michigan voting to re-join their brethren in Western Michigan, plus some politics in Ohio and Indiana with subtle Sharinan pressure.

I do remember for certain that I had invaded the Caribbean islands with my substantial Navy, airpower, artillery, and infantry troops. The tiny "1 mile wide" islands fell quickly with blockades and landing of marines. However, the bigger islands like Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico were still being in the process of being pacified. I think I did have some posts up towards that effect during or before the whole mess with the war.

Sorry guys, I'm out. Consider the UCR dead in the water.

Yay, thanks.

Also, just to let you know, the person formerly known as Vineyard once owned these territories. While it shouldn't deter you in any way from making the claim complete, I feel that it could provide you with a launching point to begin your RP in Earth V. Since the major territories are Vineyardian, you could RP Magdha as a resurgent Vineyardian colony at first, and then go to any other place of your choosing [as long as it doesn't come into conflict with me, your friendly northern neighbor :D]. In any case, whatever you decide to do, you must reflect the transition of power.

I do hope that you do continue, as a lot of people tend to sign up and then forget about the whole thing. I think you'd do well in EV.

I wasn't going to use those territories as Magdha, I was going to have them be a Magdhan colony...

EDIT: And TG6R, weren't you going to make a post in the Operation: Scorpion's Sting thread? I think ALM and I are waiting on you to post. Thanks.

:confused:

I wasn't going to use those territories as Magdha, I was going to have them be a Magdhan colony...

There's a few ways you can do this.

1: Make this territory Magdha in a separate alternate reality. [example would be me - the Emirate of Alif Laam Miim, incidentally without a significant NS presence]

2: Make this territory something else but under your name in an alternate reality. [example would be United Earthlings - RPs in EV as Republic of United Nations [RUN], but in NS as UE]

3: Make this territory Maghda in the past/present/future in an alternate reality. [example would be... well, you could be the first :D]

Just to clarify, Earth V is not in any way associated with the mainstream NS. Therefore, anything that happens in NS stays in NS, and anything that happens in EV stays ini EV. In any case, you can still have an NS entity, but it won't be connected to your EV entity. I hope that this clarifies the distinction between NS and EV.

I'm still recovering from a horrifying train wreck this past Tuesday. Over 150 people had to go to the hospital out of about 200 - 250 passengers.

I was playing solitaire on my texting cellphone when the train suddenly jerked around like if someone had kicked it over. I was thrown out of my chair, and had to search for my hat and phone. I started to smell smoke and thought there was a fire somewhere on the train. I was somewhat frustrated and a little bit scared because I couldn't hear the announcements and knowing what to do. Eventually I saw people getting off the train so I followed them off the train. I went by the wrecked engine and took some photos of it. I also saw a lot of people bleeding from their heads or noses, plus holding cloths on them. I saw a guy with a full on head bandage, and a few others on stretchers with what seemed like broken arms or legs. I'm glad I rode in the back of the train rather than the front.

Wow, at least you're all right! It appears that most injuries were minor (http://www3.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO76078/) and all were non-life-threatening, but it's still a terrible situation in which to be.

Man, Sharina, it really doesn't seem like things are going too well for you luckwise lately. Hopefully this is the last of the line you'll have to deal with.

It's good to hear, Sharina that neither you nor anyone else was hurt badly.

BTW, I do have a question though. Just how many lives were you planning on going through before you post something IC? :confused::rolleyes:

Hahah- touch'e there.

Here's what I'm planning for Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana:

1. East Michigan decides to vote to rejoin their Western Michigan countrymen with a little financial bribing from Sharina.

2. Sharina invests heavily in Ohio and basically starts buying up everything in Ohio in a mega sized version of "Monopoly". This continues until Sharina pretty much owns everything in Ohio. Then it's a simple matter of buying Ohioan politics to make it into a Sharinan state.

3. Sharinan businessmen try to set up shop in Indiana. They succeed at spreading Sharinan franchises, store brands, goods, etc. Some disgruntled Indianans decide they don't want these things anymore, so they try to assasisnate the Sharinan businessmen. They do kill a few and fail with the others. This creates a civil war in Indiana, as some Indianans want Sharinan goods and support which are better than what Indiana produces domestically. The other side wants to keep Indiana independent, but ultimately fails as the pro-Sharinan side gains an insurmontable advantage in terms of money, weapons, and stuff. Indiana could be a good RP for any terrorism or stuff in the future- kinda like our RL Iraq, but on different terms, geography, and proximity.



What do you guys think? Should I go ahead and try to start up the RP story arc?

These three states are the last ones in North America that *was not* CSA states (I forgot if I have West Virginia or not). The rest were CSA, so it'll be perfect for a new American player to try a new CSA or something in the future.

2. Sharina invests heavily in Ohio and basically starts buying up everything in Ohio in a mega sized version of "Monopoly". This continues until Sharina pretty much owns everything in Ohio. Then it's a simple matter of buying Ohioan politics to make it into a Sharinan state.

3. Sharinan businessmen try to set up shop in Indiana. They succeed at spreading Sharinan franchises, store brands, goods, etc. Some disgruntled Indianans decide they don't want these things anymore, so they try to assasisnate the Sharinan businessmen. They do kill a few and fail with the others. This creates a civil war in Indiana, as some Indianans want Sharinan goods and support which are better than what Indiana produces domestically. The other side wants to keep Indiana independent, but ultimately fails as the pro-Sharinan side gains an insurmontable advantage in terms of money, weapons, and stuff. Indiana could be a good RP for any terrorism or stuff in the future- kinda like our RL Iraq, but on different terms, geography, and proximity.



What do you guys think? Should I go ahead and try to start up the RP story arc?

These three states are the last ones in North America that *was not* CSA states (I forgot if I have West Virginia or not). The rest were CSA, so it'll be perfect for a new American player to try a new CSA or something in the future.

The CSA did control Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as when I controlled them and decided to leave them and remove weapons and other military forces I turned them over to the CSA in return for these things that I have done to these states before leaving. I did do this in the IC thread. I would have to look it over but I am not sure what number it is or on what page it is.

Hahah- touch'e there.

Maybe, but the fact remains that you seem to have more lives then a cat. You sure know how to kick off a new year don't you. :rolleyes:

1. Well since you asked, I think it's a good start but I would take it even further. For starters, switch what you stated for Indiana with Ohio. Ohio in real life has been declared a battleground state between the two political parties and Earth V is all about being as realistic as possible within our world. Furthermore, you could add for greater effect that Ohio not just wants to remain Independent a growing group supports rejoining the United Citizens Federation[Military Command] or remain part of the C.S.A. or for a very F*** up world you have both groups active within Ohio and to even make it worse are spreading their Anti-Sharina messages to their other neighboring states including Canada. Then you really got a problem on your hand, especially if foreign nations start supporting these nations.
I know for sure the Republic still has an axe to grind against the Sharina Technocracy if they are unable to come to an amenable agreement. ;)

2. Expand the "Monopoly" idea to included if possible all three states. Causing thousands if not millions of people to be reduced to poverty by losing their jobs and other factors monopolies cause is a great catalyst for an uprising/civil war to start. See the Russian Civil War for good examples of this. Starving, unemployed people are not happy people and are more likely to support more radical positions, including the overthrow of governments.

3. Those are just some ideas off the top of my head, feel free to take them wherever you want.

The CSA did control Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as when I controlled them and decided to leave them and remove weapons and other military forces I turned them over to the CSA in return for these things that I have done to these states before leaving. I did do this in the IC thread. I would have to look it over but I am not sure what number it is or on what page it is.

I remember you roleplaying something to that effect and after checking my Nations of Earth V thread would seem to confirm it. Before, Neuvo Rica withdraw I had and still do- Michigan, Ohio and Indiana in his claim list.

Thanks for your suggestions, UE.

I'll try to wing it as the RP progesses. I should be able to put up a preliminary post (an intro first post or something) up tomorrow. Keep in mind, I won't be able to do posts of good long quality until I finish my college semester in 3 weeks. I'll have the whole summer to work on the RP's. I'm talking about May, June, July, and August to do it. ;)

I'm still working on a good way to make my fleeing sniping team to screw up to finish the Scorpion's Sting thread. And UE, I'm going to send in an Army Corps into Southern Morocco as I said in my reply soon.

I would like to give another reminder that after a couple of hours, I'll be gone for two weeks. So, please let me know immediately if you want to know anything from me or need an IC response on something before I leave.

WAIT!!!! I need to know the access codes to your secret military facilities so restart global JIHAD! [oops, was that out loud?]

Which is why I neither talk to them during the first week nor add them to the Nations of Earth V factbook. If they actually managed to post something during that first week, then I take that as a good sign. If not, then I know I will never hear nor see anything from them again. My system hasn't been proving wrong yet and I've seen over 10 newbies come and go.

I have two explanations which are of course totally wrong. :rolleyes:
The first would seem to be the lack of activity. With most of the members gone at any one time, it makes it hard to retain people when they have no one to roleplay with. The second would be that giant blob of green that's covering North America, truth be told it scaled the living shit out of me a little when I first joined and still kinda of does.

Good news, everybody!

I'm finally done with my semester, so I officially have nothing to do for the next four months in Hicksville, USA. I should be able to post RP's and stuff now that I don't have any studying to do, final projects to wrap up, crazy train commutes (waking up at 5 AM in the mornings and getting home at 6:30 PM or so everyday), and I won't be so exhausted... at least until fall semester starts up in 4 months.

So expect to see RP posts from me shortly.

ALM and TG6R: After you two post in Scorpion's Sting, then the final leg of the RP will finally go down. Since my people lost contact with the snipers, the mission has changed to that of elimination instead of extraction. Expect an interesting climax :D

Im back.

I finally have time, as I'm done with school for the year.

And I am delighted to see MC has invaded Italy.

There are no "Friendly" Commanders to the UCF in Italy, besides what is an unorganized Anti-Vineyardian uprising in Milan. The Pope is friendly, but he is in the vatican. And bad things have happened there. Perhaps the Archbishop of Milan is a friendly 'commander', ableit only in the political sence.


Besides, Earth V could use a full-blown war to test the 'revisions' to the war rules.

I would like to know the rule for producing more military equipment and naval ships?


Since, Earth V is based on realism as much as possible given our Alt world. I would say the same time it takes in real life. A few months for tanks, APCs, IFVs, etc... A few months to a few years for aircraft depending on their size and if any modifications have been done to them. The same for ships depending on their size and complexity. A Aircraft Carrier or an Assault Ship or other similar sized ship takes some time to build, on the order of a 1-4 years depending on size and complexity. A destroyer/frigate can usually be completed in about 8 to 12 months depending on variables. A Minesweeper, Patrol Craft or other similar sized craft can usually be completed in a few months or sooner.

However, if I'm wrong I'm sure Sixth or Sharina will correct me.

Well, hopefully, I can have some time to work on my war calculator. Not just a bunch of rules, but a real calculator. Input a few numbers and add a bit of randomness with strategic vision, and voila, you've got casualties! Not as pretty as "You've got mail!" but it'll do.

Oh, one more thing, I've having some home time, so I might not be as active as I had anticipated. Coming past Memorial Day Weekend, I might have more time to offer [That's May 26th for those not familiar with American holidays].

Hopefully, I can get some stuff done though. Any map changes [besides Sharina, who has yet to fully RP the thing - thankfully, I came back in time to see the link :D]?

Earth V uses "fluid time." During wartime, your figures above are accurate (but the time you gave for ground vehicles and simple aircraft seems quite lengthy: Did you mean the design, not just production, of them?)--otherwise every player would magically produce whatever he needs for the conflict as soon as the details of the war are known.

In peacetime, the rule is "one day RL = ca. 51.42857142857142857142857142857 days Earth V." The rate of production depends on the infrastructure and various other factors, and some of items may take a RL month or more--such as an aircraft carrier or an An-225.

Hello Hello, I noticed my beloved Sarth Ifrica is unmarked, could I claim Florida, West Indies, the smaller southern part of Brazil and South Africa. failing that just SA if you guys are still on???

It's never too late.

It is time for me to announce my belated departure from EV. I'm sorry to say that I've gotten too much work on my plate, and I simply can't handle both, and as always, I would prefer to give up NS than my work/school/RL.

I will be putting this account under the supervision of one of my friends, who will keep the account alive. As for the lands, they have now fallen into disorder - I'll leave it to you to decide how so.

Almost identical events have occurred throughout Earth V's history, but we still manage to survive, somehow. ;)

Es lebe die Earth V!

I'm still staying with this, it's just that there are so few nations involved anymore that nothing happens. India's gone, ALM left, Russia barely shows its face. All that is here is me, a West African nation that can't really do much outside of my region, then the RUN, Sharinians, MC and Germans who all have smaller events going on that don't really relate to what I'm doing. I just don't know what I can do to contribute when the only things I can pull off are invasions or small-scale spying missions that don't ever finish.

The main issue with recruitment I see is that NS seems to be going through a change. The days of fantastic and epic RP's are on their very last strand of life, and the days of stat-whore number crunchers who take the story out of Rping is coming in. The best people who could RP a huge loss and still enjoy it are gone (for the most part) and are being replaced by these idiots who would rather spam 10 million megaton bombs than RP a good fight.

I would like to know if someone would like to RP a peaceful turn-over of power from ALM to UCF of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Yemen and Egypt as most of these were either in French or British at once in a blue moon ago.

Before you get anyone, those of that are left. You need to get the OK to do the roleplay from Sixth in accordance with the new rules of Earth V. With that said, I see a few problems with a roleplay like that. After throwing off British and French rule nearly 50 to 60 years ago after being under their not very popular control for decades, I don't think they exactly welcome back their former masters back with open arms. Earth V is about realism, well our realism anyway. Still, considering how long ALM has ruled those nations I find it hard to believe they welcome you with open arms. Even I have been roleplaying a small (growing) majority of the citizens of Morocco and Algeria resisting the Republic's influence in the region and that's considering the much better relations I had with the Kopps Kingdom then you have with those (now defunct) ALM nations.

You mean one like the Sharina-RUN-Vineyard war? :rolleyes:

Is there a thread to which I am not subscripted where there is activity? Or is nothing truly happening right now besides my meeting with the RUN officials? I mean, the last post in the incidents thread was almost an entire month ago!

Anyway, as to your question. I just made a post to the A Convenient Lie thread just a few days ago. And the thread for MC's claim for North Korea is still active, it just hasn't seen any activity in a few weeks.

And furthermore, I'm fully intending to post a few nice posts in the International incidents thread, but to do that I need our meeting to be over and everything worked out.

I thought it was a good start, but then you stopped for whatever reason. Besides, there’s not much I can do at the moment seeing as I have little to no contact with your nation following that messed up so called war among a few others reasons. Also, don't feel bad about getting no responses. Hardly, any members of Earth V are alive. Besides me and you the only other people that have been active in the past month have been MC, Sixth and Candistan. Time doesn't seem to want to be kind to us.

In all seriousness though, an RP similar to the one I'm doing with Sixth would be a good start. Once, we reestablish relations I have a few ideas I can bounce off you, if your interested and have the time.

Aiight, I'll try to do a few more posts in that state trio RP, and then hopefully if I can get it going, then I can start a RP with you. I'm stuck at the computer screen all the time between the IBM job and having nothing to do at home during the summer between work-days.

As I've done in the past when activity becomes this low, I'll make a new recruitment thread once I find out who on Earth V is still lurking around here.

Sorry I have been having a bit of internet problems.

Hey guys, how's its going? College has been harsh on me this semester. I'm doing 4 lab classes (I have all labs until I graduate), and I've been under a great deal of stress. I have no time to do the lab work because of my daily commute and not being able to stay in the lab for 5, 6, 7 hours of homework. So I've actually had to cheat, sneak, and stuff to cut a few corners to save hours of time.

Anything new or exciting in Earth V? Has it been revitalized yet?

It's going just fine, I'd ask how you were doing, but it would appear you don't seem to have any time to spear. So, I just end with good luck on your exams.

As for what's been happening, I think Sixth said it best>"We should be more visible for recrument purposes."

Wow, a week and only UE has responded.

I miss the fun active Earth V from back in 2004 and 2005. Now these were interesting times with Vineyard going nuts, Doomingsland smacking him around, my conflict with Fodmodmatol, the showdowns between the democratic alliance and the communist / socialist alliance, and so on.

Anyone remember these old times? Apparently it seems like me and TGSR are the only ones still "alive" both IC'ly and OOC'ly from that era. Military Command as well, I think.

Those were certainly the good times here. But it looks like it's going to have start newly again, with even few people remaining than the last almost new start.

The new thread will up a few weeks from now (after final exams), when I can almost fully devote my time to new member matters to try to get things going again.

If, I can do anything to help let me know.

This old thread is now closed, and we should have some new players shortly

The Corporate Plutocracy of Karond Kar has, with additional investment, reemerged from bankruptcy. Due to some errors in this system of communiques, the Board of Directors will communicate via the dummy corporation known as Kar0nd Kar. The Board would like to know which of its territorial claims are still valid.

Hello , I would like to know if we are still keeping our nations that we have had in the other EV or what is going on? I know that UE and I are at the moment doing a war for my taking over North Korea and I am still in control of UK and all my other countries. Please let me know as there two new members trying to take control of a few of my nations.

I would like control over Australia. But half of it is unlivable due to radiation due to a nuclear war due to a civil war due to a bad President.

(While it would be funny if I made you go through all that trouble, only to reject you in the end, I assure you that I won't do that!)

TGSR: I would like to know if you would like to pick up our meeting and the Operation 'Holy War' in which I am taking over Italy?

Sure.

But this is the old thread! (I'm not directing that at you, but at any potential new members who read this.)

Can I have UK? Also, I will help update your map if you want.

This (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=576686) thread is the current recruitment thread.

(Military Command has all of the UK, I believe, but there are plenty of other spots open, and we certainly do need a new map maker.)

Well then can I have Ukraine?

Yes, you may have Ukraine, but you're posting in the wrong thread again! :)
