Uh huh, population of 1965. You all get a 100 million dollar military grant to start. Now, since we have all gotten are first payday, you can spend your own money now too. So if that's what you mean by "our 100 bill", yes.
So, our first payday is 100 billion plus 5.5 billion? (at least for me)
Just want to clarify. By the way, I don't want to get into a stiff alliance, where we pledge to die for each other and whatnot. Just a simple one concerning the SC and G.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION. I don't know where everyone is getting this billion from...
This 100 million is a grant for your military only. If your 5.5 billion is your TYI, yes, you get that too and can spend it on whatever you want.

when is the IC thread?
IC threads will open on their own. If you would like to start a diplomatic exchange, you could open a thread for that. Or if you wanted to start a war, you could make your own IC thread. I expect all player started threads to be IC. I myself will only start a few threads as a mod, the Events Thread is an example.
I don't follow you. You're already are in, you know. Your country is on the map. You're set to go. Once you choose your traits and link me your factbook so I can give you your stats you can start RPing.
Well, my factbook is linked in my signature and has been for quite some time; you can click on it at any time and read what I have so far. Included in both my original claim post and my factbook are the two traits I have chosen. I was hoping to acquire my stats to use as a foundation for my factbook details, but it seems to me that you need it the other way around? In any case, I will finish my factbook tonight. The link to it will still be in my signature and I will post a declaration of its completion.

I'm going to go do up my diplomatic and financial links now. Otherwise, good to go! :cool:

To start a war, to open negotiations, to build embassies, you could open IC threads of your own for all of these. I will link to these threads on the first page of this thread.
No worries, I reposted them in the threads to whom they were aimed at anyway.

Cymrea, your factbook is great. You're in. Here are your statistics by the way:
NHP: 70% (+5% for Industrialist trait)
NFP: 83% (+10% for Agriculturist trait)
TYI: $3,900,000,000
NLP: 38%
You can put this in your factbook once you get this. By the way, the "(+5% for Industrialist trait)" and "(+10% for Agriculturist trait)" have both been factored in already by me. Don't add them again.

Air should carry about 100, although I really think it could be more around 300-500. Sea transports should hold 5000 to 10000 when "fully optimized" according to Wikipedia. Myself, I'd have to use land transport for the most part. I think the USSR built railroads in Mongolia by 1965, so most of it should still be in existence.

Perhaps I've missed it somewhere already, but I'd like to suggest that - in light of martial violence leading to the original The End - no sane nation would commit more than 5-10% of it's total population and about 20% of it's annual budget to an armed force.
After all, a factory worker or farmer who's patrolling the frontier borders isn't building or growing anything.

I will say this, the more you spend on military and the more people you devout to the armed forces, the more likely you are to have a negative event.
Updated my factbook with an explanation of The Seven Tributes, the symbols of the Cascadian monarchy. My finances link has been updated to reflect TYI income and expenditures. And my military thread, for my new equipment and now shows current TYI budget of a sane 10%.
In addition to my slowly building diplomatic relationships, I am working on my first IC campaign-project-thing. More on that soon.
Hey, what does everyone think of establishing a Terran Union or League of Nations or something? That way a lot of diplomatic exchanges could happen there in the form of communiques, with no need for a jillion separate threads for international interaction. Just a thought.

Added below in my signature is the link to my news and events thread. It represents not only the national media but also outlines my IC projects so that everything is above-board and visible, so that when my shiny new well-trained officers start graduating from RMCC, no one says, "THE HELL...?!"

Whoever it was who suggested all the new weapons I said I'd put on later, could you post them again? Sorry, if you don't have um, I'll look for them.
Antigonal
06-10-2007, 01:18
LoL it was me...
Haha, well that was easy. Do you have those numbers handy?
Suggestion
New Military units
Artillery Battery (4 Artillery)---- 2million
Self Propelled Artillery (1 Artillery)---- 1 million
SAMs (6 SAM Sites)---- 10 million
Corvettes---- 30 million
Also i suggest "Transport" should be 1 fleet, cause $250 million for 1 Transport is way too much. A fleet of 28 should be able o ferry 50,000 Troops.

Military section of rules updated. Now includes exact amounts of troops that can be carried in air transports and sea transports and some new weapons.
ICBM? Scud? Ballistic Missiles?
Since its 1965 there aint really any ICBMs (probally needs to be researched)
Prices:
Scud (Unguided): $5 million
Ballistic Missile: $16 million

I'd say more expensive, it may be less realistic that way, but at least it's in proportion to everything else. By the way, I edited your weapon ideas just a bit.
Given that ICBMs probably wreaked most of the destruction upon the world anyway, wouldn't there be some kind of aversion to such a rapid re-militarization of the world?
It seems like we're only interested in building armies and resuming the shooting. Nations are spending more than 30% of their total budget for three years into their militaries. I really dig the idea of the reduced numbers and limited types of equipment. It provides a stbility to what otherwise becomes the inevitable R&D arms race when left unchecked. Please let's not have this Earth degenerate into just another textual game of Risk - I've put way too much effort into my factbook and details. Diplomacy, dammit! :p

Haha, I agree. But I think missles need to be involved. What kind of world would we be without um? Also, I promised nukes and I'm gonna give um. It won't be happening for a long, long time (I mean a real while), but I think they're important part of politics and it will make the game much more interesting to have them. Of course, people can't just use them willy-nilly, there will be consequences (plus they're super expensive, so the average RPer isn't gonna wanna waste them).

There is also a diplomatic news section in mine under the protocols, where diplomats to each of your nations has been sent. I would appreciate it if you would at least post your response to them arriving in my factbook.

Hey Anti, I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out on this one. Too much degeneration into a fresh new R&D arms race in a world where an arms race nearly wiped humans off the planet. Thirty percent of entire Three-Year Incomes being spent on military budgets is insane. And I can't beg, borrow, or buy a response/moderation in my RP threads, which I said I would require since no response effectively freezes my progress.
No hard feelings from me though, you have a very cool system of income and military. Combined with a land-area point system I saw recently, I remain hopeful that a balanced RP will come up sometime in the future. But the textual Risk game is not one I wish to continue playing. It's just too common and pointless.
I thought I at least owed you a heads-up instead of merely buggering off, though, so good luck to you all and good hunting. :cool:
