NationStates Jolt Archive

Hello everyone

I was wondering who is interested in this type of Rp. It can be charactor based during somthing like, The French Indian wars, or The American Revolution in a specific area of our choosing..

Or players could use their nations and we could establish diplomatic relations, go head to head in warfare using the tech of this time.

Please give some input and throw some ideas out there, i would really like to get somthing going soon.


Feel free to post anything at all related to this topic, once we figure out what we are going to do and it's all agreed on, rules will be set up to ensure the Rp runs smooth.

So i leave it to you now....

I know man :)


Not a whole lot is new with me really. I like this idea for an RP. I'd say let it be kinda like Age of Empires III, set in the New World, in a fight for domination between Germany, Britain, France, Spain, Ottoman Empire, Russia, the Dutch, and the Portugese. And someone should be the Native Americans too.

Wow that sounds great....

If so i may have to claim Britian in that case, but that sounds great....

Now we need some others input...

i like that.. :)

may I claim France?

Wow that sounds great....

i like that.. :)

Cool. :)


I'd kinda like the Germans...

That idea is great and should spark alot of interest, it's a little early to start calling claims but if we run with this both claims are accepted.

Are there any more ideas? we have 1....

1 what man? Idea? Lets here it bro! :)

Oh, 1 idea...the one you have tossed out there..

I would like to hear the input of others too before we run with it, we need some more interest in the topic..which im sure will come.

Yeah I like Wanderjar's idea, if we end up doing that can I be the Dutch?

Sure,

Ok..soo we have four for Wanderjars idea..is there any more?

(I like it so im half tempted to go with it lol, i just wanna see if anything else pops up soon..if not, we'll go with the first one)

Bump....to the top :)

As you may be able to tell, im kinda egar to get the ball rolling.....

Haha, as are we all.

I'm intrested. I'm also starting out an imperalism race in this era, if anyone is willing to bump heads with my RP.

Wow, this seems cool.

I like Wanderjar's idea, except the part that Britain's already claimed... if we do go with that, I could claim a part of Britain, like the 13 colonies, I suppose.

Or, we could do a more character-based RP, where you RP as one character with a unit of troops or such... then we could have multiple players on the same team.

There are endless possibilites, please expand on your request Aqua Anu

Well, to tell the truth I might prefer the more macro-based nation RP to a character RP, my only concern is the smaller possible range of claims. If we do decide to go through with a character RP, then what I was thinking of is that each player would have a character or characters, and they'd chose their character's nationality, whether they were a military person, native, merchant, etc. We could have allied players from the same nation, and so on.

Theres another idea given to us by Caladonn, a charactor based Rp set in North America.....

I like that one too, sounds interesting....

I see where you are comming from with the limitations to claim and all, so this may be a possibility that we will have to consider...

I think we can do this Rp both ways.....

We could have players from the same country going head to head with others, with limitations of course.....all fighting for the same thing, either in one general area or miles away fighting the other players army/troops....?

teams would have to be worked out before the start, number of people who wish to form a team would have to be limited..

Players would not even have to have direct contact with their team member, they could be miles away fighting a member of another team....

This way a new door is opened when it comes to our claim shortage,

Just an idea to take into consideration.....

Like English players Vs Indian players, French, American, dutch,....it don't matter

What could be funny where if we split in two (or more) groups each playing a character in a native American tribe. Then we would have to fight each other as well as any foreign intruders trying to colonize our land. I always wanted to play a tribe war type of thing.

That sounds neat, theres another cool idea!

common keep it commin people and like i have said before...feel free to post your input on any ideas that have came up or any you may have,

:)

I think it'd be cool to have a combination tribe/Europeans RP... I like Ostia's idea of different teams and such. I don't think we should keep it to just North America though... after all, most of the Seven Years War was fought in Europe, with Prussia and Britain against France, Austria, and Russia.

A big problem with territory RP is primarily that someone claim the major powers then no one claims the smaller nations.

Well because this would be around the time of the Aquatic Exploration Era, when my nation took claims of a lot of islands, and the time of the sad death of my nation's princess Dutch M. Churchill II, my Rp that I've been trying to get off the ground is a bunch of nations that all are striving for the same goal. Dealing with weather and other imperalist nations in small scrimages to claim land, and expand their nation.

hey I would like to join, I wouldn't like to do purley war but yeah I'd like to join

Sooo...

We are closer to comming towards what it is we are going to do with this. I really like the teams idea, it seems to make more sence..the larger powers are more popular, if we follow through with the teams more people will wanna join and will be able to be on the team they prefer...

With limitations....i would say, 2-3 for each?

Fair?

hey I would like to join, I wouldn't like to do purley war but yeah I'd like to join

Ok, sure..there will be other things included aswell..pure war isn't always interesting

We seem to be leaning towards the charactor based style, if so there will be lots of things going on...

two or three on each team you mean? Yes I think you could call it fair.

sounds fair to me

two or three on each team you mean? Yes I think you could call it fair.

Yes two or 3 on each,

ok...

So far we have...

1. Nations interested choose European or NS nations and go head to head in North America-submitted by Wanderjar

2.Nations interested join teams and go head to head against other native tribes as native tribes, eventully facing Europeans-submitted by Kamasha

3. Nations interested join teams of their choice with LIMITATIONS in a charactor based Rp, basicly role playing day to day life on and off the battle field- Submitted by Osteia/Caladonn(Mixed ideas made into 1 with a bit of the others included)

^^^^^^^^^-Basicly this idea came about when we all realized that once the larger powerful nations have been chosen, others will not want to play...

It works in my mind, the other ideas are superb aswell..this is great, how does everyone feel about these...

personally I'm more for NSWorld not RL. That is the basis of my idea

Same here, I'm all for character RPing but I would like to do it conjuction of my nation

personally I'm more for NSWorld not RL. That is the basis of my idea

Oh and a good idea it is, i would like to include your nation in this but am un sure of how to do so....

It's basicly the tech and how stuff was in this time period, it will NOT be historicly correct....

This Rp has great potential and will be fun with what ever way we choose to play it, thats why input is very important..

well again going back to my imperalism RP This would be around the time of the Aquatic Exploration Era, when my nation took claims of a lot of islands, and the time of the sad death of my nation's princess Dutch M. Churchill II, my Rp that I've been trying to get off the ground is a bunch of nations that all are striving for the same goal. Dealing with weather and other imperalist nations in small scrimages to claim land, and expand their nation. And you said in your 1st post you could set up relations, so poltical, character, war, etc.

In what specific time period did this happen? im not sayin this isn't possible, we have 3 ways we can run this...

When i put Rl in the first choice i ment to also add NS nations..

Any more ideas out there?

Bump....

Dudeness, I'd prefer a later period, but...
I vote NS nations. c18th (1710ish?)
But of course if it's RL nations...American continent ONLY. So you only have the colonists you bring, and occasional help from home...thus neatly stepping round the large-nation problem.

I'd like around the time of the 7 Years War (1756-63). I'd personally prefer historical nations, but I'm ok with NS ones as well.

EDIT: I just wanted to let people know that I'm also helping to organize an IRL-nations 1870 RP, if anyone's interested in that as well, let me know.

Im kinda leaning towards RL nations aswell.....

It does solve the problem of population and over sized empires, are you in Terror?

Soon we will figure out what direction we want this to go, 7 years war is great but that means we would have to carry out most of the fighting in europe when i think North America is a better stage...

Edit: But thats my opinion, it's not how i want it..it's how every one agrees it should be...i am very content with this time period, it's right in-between, very orderly and easy to understand...

I think having it set in North America, Europe or both would be fine, though I would also lean towards using RL nations.

Ok cool,

When we have afew more people i'llcarefully go through the thread and see what people said...then i'll put up an OOC for the actual Rp..or should this be used...

If an OOC Did go up anyone who was interested in this would simply post their details and get ready for the IC...

I think there should be an OOC, what you guys think?

So far people seem to like idea # 3 more than the others, at this point in time...

Any one else interested in joining or have any input?

Bump....

Bump again, please skim through the thread to see the developments we have reached...

thank you..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Just an update....

I say you just pick one based on what you think would be best and what the general opinion has been so far. This way you can create a sign up thread and begin to get things going.

Ok, i will do that right now.....enough sitting around and waiting, if others wanna join they will sign up on the thread....

Stand by...

I don't want to do RL, I'm sorry but every flippen PT is RL, I never get a chance to do NS-PT.

I think they are easist to understand personally...

What should i call it....?

then I'm out. I don't want to do RL and I don't really care if it's easier, there's just too many. I mean it can seriously be any harder than a general RP.

I'll have to drop too because I mentiond I have no intrest in RL RP because it seems really pointless and redundant to have built a nation and never use it in RP.

What should i call it....?
"The Age of Imperialism" perhaps or "The Age of Empires", it depends on what kind of RP it is going to be.

Ok, thats fine ...two people have dropped out, i tryed to fit everyones needs in...but we came to a decent conclusion where no one will be stronger than the other by making the teams and using RL nations...

I apoligize that this Rp does not suit your needs, maybe next time...

Why not...The Age of Empires.... lol

Cheak it out...

yeah right

yeah right

No need to be hostille, my apoligy was sencere..

I know it was but still, I doubt I will ever see a single PT that is NS. I'm sorry but it's the truth, it's seriously frustating me that there isn't a single RP I can ever join.

Well if you have somthing in mind i'll help.....

you could try and help Aqua Anu with the Imperial Race idea, I mean both of us honestly have trouble getting in any RP and starting one.

Ok, i'll go there and take a look at the thread.

Aqua Anu, and Magic Sorcery, you must have missed where we just had a PT RP with own nations going on. That one died, as the empire central to the whole thing seems to've stopped posting, but it does happen.

There is a fair group of people up for non-fantasy, past tech, nationstates nations RP.
