Earth 1930
This probably seems ridiculous...
I'm a newbie. No doubt about it. I am it in the purest form. I've posted in one thread. And here I am, trying to start an Earth. Wow. I have to say, in all modesty, I am one ambitious son of a bitch, no? But there is something incredibly appealing about the 1930s that I find in no other Earth. Be it the classy cars, the cigars, the trench coats, the fedoras, the vocabularies- I have no idea, but there is something just so damn awesome about it, y'know? So here I am, trying to start an Earth. Continue reading or you'll regret it.
How the hell is this gonna work?
That's probably your first question. Mine too. Great minds think alike, no? Anyway, lets get to that question of ours. How is this going to work? I'll tell you how. It's gonna work like this. We're going to gather quality nations run by quality writers with quality minds and personalities who want to work with quality people. We're going to all sit down, and have a chat, in this thread, about how the Earth of the 1930s is going to work. The continents, religions, major cities, major brand names, and borders. We'll see if we can grab a skilled mapmaker to throw us together some imagery, which always helps.
We'll then get started on the threads - activity is the key. Without activity we are not appealing, and without members there is no activity, so keep reading, damnit.
Indeed, there are going to be ground rules...
I am right now going to lay out some ground rules, regulations, and systems.
Listen up, cause this is the cream of this post. This is the who, why, where, when and how of making Earth 1930 awesome.
To join up, for now, you will need to post an example of your writing. I will judge you (once more join, they will also judge), and decide whether or not you're in (all members decide, but since I am currently the only member...Only I decide). Your sample must be in the 1930s setting.
I want this Earth to start really fresh, which means I'll need everyone to create new countries.
Once you are in you can suggest religions, continent names, city names, river names, mountain names, and other such things that assist in the development of the Earth.
Once you are in you are free to post helpful links such as name generators and government structures. This would help a ton in the creation of new countries.
Once you are in, and settled with the idea for your new country, you must post a list of the major government officials positions and their names, everything from President/Dictator to Minister of Health. Posting their specific obligations is optional.
It would be most helpful that once you are accepted you post a picture of what generally you hope your country would look like. You can also post major rivers and mountains and forests, etc. A paragraph description of a certain spot in your country that sums its terrain up would be nice. Also, country flags are required.
An estimation of your population (not neccesarily your actual nationstates country just what you want it to be).
A good thing to do would be to post a basic, 2 paragraph (at least) Day-In-The-Life-Of-My-Country's-Citizen thing. It's optional but suggested.
Make one post that is your Earth-1930's official country post. Put all of the above descriptions and suggestions in that. A link to your official post will be put in the thread's first post (this.)
Make sure that you realize your Earth-1930's nation does not have to be an actuality in the real nationstates game. It can just be a forum concept if you want.
Suggestions for major brand names and religions and other such things are more than welcome and don't have to be put in your official post. They will be copy and pasted into this post.
Dude, this seems real strict man...
If you have the guts to do it, you're awesome. If you don't, you're normal. If people actually follow through with the above, Earth 1930s would be so awesome your jaw would drop everytime you read an Earth 1930s RP thread.
Seriously, you want to do this.
