This is the Sign Up/OOC Thread for a New RP Idea I came up with.

The Year is 800,000 BC; the antediluvian world. The Flood has not happened yet and Four Great Nations are ruleing the World, Mu, Lemuria, Pacifica and Atlantis. Barbarian Tribes and Kingdoms live in the areas of Thule (Modern day Canada, Alaska, and Greenland.), Hyberboreia (Modern day Northern Europe and Siberia), Ethiopia (All of Modern Day Africa and The Middle East) and Mongolia (The Modern day East Asia, Japan, Southeast Asia and Central Asia) and in what is called India, The Rama Empire, ruled by Rama II, son of Rama the Hero, is becoming a Power on it's own.

But The World is Changeing, Great Upheveals among the Four Great Nations have caused Chaos and now, It is nearing The Breaking Point. The Great Ice Age is nearing a end as the ice melts away.

This is The World of 800,000 BC

so. . what is atlantis?

so. . what is atlantis?

This is Atlantis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis)

Isn't 800,000 BC a bit too far back?

800,000 BC would be several hundred thousand years before the Neanderthals showed up; basically, you'd have roving bands of pre-humans roaming around in the Near East, Europe, and Africa, not any kind of recognizable polity.

Yeah, luckily he said fantasy, otherwise there would have been a giant flaw with this thread.

Regardless, there is a flaw in what he has said.

Antediluvian world = pre-flood world of the Bible
Biblical world = ~6500 years old
802,000 years ago > 6500 years ago

So are dinosaurs, but who cares?

Nitpick: Hataria never said any of these were human nations. For all we know they could be sentient dinosaurs, or sentient lemmings, or sentient cows (although imagining a dinosaur or a lemming or a cow in a submarine or airship brings on a rather uncontrollable fit of giggles from yours truly).

I highly doubt the Thules or the Mongols come from dinosaurs.

This si the OOC Thread by the way oh and Dinosaurs were gone by 800,000 BC, They were killed off around 65 MILLION BC.

Oh and Humans were around in 800,000 BC in real life, But They were (as far as we know,) in The Stone Age along with Java Man and Neanderthals and The Hobbits.

and if you are going to ruin a thread make one of your own to ruin.

I know that. <<

None of those were actually "human" in the sense of Homo sapiens. Homo erectus and earlier betas of the current human being were around, but they definitely didn't have any semblance of what we think of as "civilisation". In short, not enough imagination.

and if you are going to ruin a thread make one of your own to ruin.
Already done.

Oh and I am looking for a Map maker to make a map of the Antediluvian world, to make sure that Everyone knows where the areas are.

Oh and Start Signing up Please.:cool::D;)

and to make sure that their is no hard feelings, Those that become one of the Hyperboreian, Thulese, Ethiopian or Mongolian Tribes/Kingdoms can name their tribe/kingdom anything you want.

Guys, the OP clearly said this is a Fantasy Tech thread. If you think you could RP in it if specific changes were made, point them out -- politely. If the OP doesn't want to make those changes, accept it and go away. It's his fantasy.

Murra, I'm a little concerned at a certain carelessness in your posts. This exchange


and if you are going to ruin a thread make one of your own to ruin.

Already done.

could be read as saying that you had already posted a thread, intending to ruin it. Doesn't sound like a good idea. And, since you haven't made a thread of your own, an unsympathetic person (like, for example, an exasperated mod) could read it as saying that you were intending to ruin this thread. That would be a very, very bad idea.

And did you notice you'd mistaken the original poster's nation name? Careless, very careless.

See, this is what I am talking about. Using the phrase "Antediluvian world" when it does not fit. Sure, it sounds cool and makes you appear intelligent, but it doesn't fit if you are talking about 800,000 B.C.E.

I will try to explain it again.
"Antediluvian" is a word that is used in the Biblical timeline to describe the period after the world was created (about 6500 years ago) and before the flood that killed everyone except Noah. In the Biblical timeline, there is no 800,000 BCE - it just doesn't exist; the world, according to the Bible, was created some 795,500 years later.
So either change the timeline to fit with the Bible or stop using Antediluvian.

1. The Bible doesn't exactly contain dates, so we don't know how long ago it's supposed to take place. We don't know exactly when the world was created (more accurately, spawned by the Big Bang) and we don't know when the Flood allegedly took place.

2. We know the world is BILLIONS of years old. It's safe to say that 800,000 BC falls safely within the "antediluvian" category.

Now that I've cleared that up... can you describe the special units in greater detail? I'm thinking of joining as Mu.

And did you notice you'd mistaken the original poster's name? Careless, very careless.
Well, technically no, as he's currently RPing as a tribe inhabiting Hataria anyway, and claiming to be the last of the Hatarians (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=539204), so Hataria is close enough, ne?

*realises he's correcting a mod*

*hides under a rock*

Ah, but he's not doing it in this thread, is he?

*realises he's correcting a mod*

*hides under a rock*

[Evil twin Ardchoille] Why hide? Didn't you know we have X-ray vision?

[Good twin Ardchoille] Awwwwww. Here, come on out from under that nasty rock and I'll give you an ice-cream.

Oh and I am looking for a Map maker to make a map of the Antediluvian world, to make sure that Everyone knows where the areas are.

Oh and Start Signing up Please.:cool::D;)


Pointless biblical debates notwithstanding, I officially express my interest, and would claim Atlantis.

Given the premise, I'm wondering if this will be influenced more by Howard or Lovecraft.

Kahanistan: Ok :)

Cymrea: Atlantis it is

Can i make my own kingdom or take 1 that already exsists like the vikings or celtics.

Is there any special reason why 800,000?

New Fraction added; Osiria (Based in what is now Modern Day Southern Europe and North Africa.)

Elite Units of The Osirians: War Chariots, War Elephants, Osirian Death Ray Gunners.

Death Ray Gunners?

Death Ray Gunners?

It has a bit of Edgar Cayce in it, ok?

According to Edgar Cayce's readings, this sort of thing is happening on a grand scale. Hundreds and thousands of people are being reincarnated now who carry urges from the once highly technical civilization of Atlantis. The problems they had then — selfishness, slavery and destruction — are being recreated like unfinished business to plague them again. These individuals are often extremists, with innate capacity for great good or great evil. How they meet their karma may well determine the future of our civilization.

Edgar Cayce claimed to have seen in a vision of The past that The Atlanteans built a tyoe of Death Ray that used the Sun's Light, Mirrors and a Crystal.

Oh and I will make a Discription of the Fractions soon.

I'd be interested in this but alas I am leaving soon...and I think you mean Factions not fractions

I'm tempted to join, and be an Ethiopian tribe kingdom

This is a Discription of the Factions in this RP with is based in the ANTEDILUVIAN WORLD! (Lightning Strikes and Thunder rolls.)

Atlantis; The Atlantean Republic had replaced the old Kingdom after a long Civil War. This Change has made the Atlanteans became a Military Power in the world of 800,000 BC. A Technological based Civilization, Atlantis has made wonders that are the things of stories. Great Flying Machines, Chariots that go with out any horses, Ships that go underwater.

Yes most of the other 'Civilized' Nations have such things, but The Atlanteans use new typed of power, Solar Power, Wind Power and even the power of a type of Crystal to make these things happen. Atlantis is one of the Great Nations of the Antediluvian World.

Mu; Mainly peaceful, this Group of Islands in The Antediluvian Pacific has recently had to build a Military to keep Mu and it's people save from It Preatory Pacifican Kingdom. It was the first of the Nations to make a Steampowered Submarine. (Since The other three Great Nations, other then Atlantis, have used steam power with great sucess.) The Muian Government is a Democratic Government ruled by the Council of Ten, Elected by the people.

Lemuria; The Southern land of Australia in 800,000 BC is the home of The Lemurian Confederation, a Nation Ruled by not one King, but 50! These people have a military that is made to protect and sevre the people, this is the Begining of what in a few hunderd Thousand Years will be known as a "Poilce Force."

This Military mainly Keeps the Peace in the Towns and Cities of Lemuria and the Islands near it, It's Best Force are the Lemurian Knights who ride on Giant Eagles to stop Bandits and Pirates.

Civilians also help in protecting Lemuria, joining The Military for 10 Years, this was the Start of a volunteer military with pay.

Pacifica: a Militaristic nation, this Land is ruled by a Warrior-King who is in control of the most Powerful military in the Antediluvian World. Crule to others and it's own People, the Pacifican Empire has one goal in mind.......To Rule the world.

But for the first time in 200 years, The Pacificans are being beaten back by the Mongolian Tribes and a Allaince of Small Mongolian Kingdoms. This is showing the world that Pacifica is now the Power it once was.

The Rama Empire: Founded by a Hero named Rama, this Kingdom is ruled by Good King Rama II, the son of the Great Hero who fought the Demon Hordes of The Lanka Dominion and it's Ruler, The Evil Ravana. With the help of the Monkey people known as the Vanaras, The People of the Indian sub-continent have lived in peace. But The Threats of Barbarian Invasion from The North and the greedy eyes of small kingdoms in southeast asia, the Rama Empire had to enlage the Imperial Army and also use a new type of weapon, The Flying Vimana Aircraft, which range from Small, one man Vimana 'Chariots' to Giant Airships. This makes the Rama Empire a force that no one wants to face.

Osiria: The Arch-enemy of Atlantis, the Osirians are a Freedom loveing people, who are ruled by a Elected Offical known as a President. The Osirians live in what is now The Mediterranean Sea, which back in the Ice Age, is a vast, fertile valley punctuated by large, freshwater lakes that sat at the heart of the Osirian lands, knowsn to the Atlanteans and the Hyperboeians to the North as The "Athenian Empire" named for the Main Goddess of The Osirians. The Capital of Osiria is the City of Hagar Qim on the Mountain of Malta, now the island of Malta

The Osirians live Simple lives, They have Electrial Power produced by simple batteries. They Farm the land with Iron Plows and live in small towns, there are few Large Cities, like Ke-mut, Ra-Torth and Hagar Qim.

The Osirians have 'Death rays', which are large weapons which use a Set of Mirrors and a Crystal or jem that use the rays of the sun to destroy wooden ships that are still in use by most the Antediluvian World.

Lanka:In what is now Modern day Sri Lanka, The Lanka Kingdom is ruled by The Dreaded Rakshasa, but this Kingdom is weak after the Death of Ravana. But the Rakshasas are planning to regain their lost rank in this world and to take Revenge on The Son of Rama, even planning to kill their King, Vibhishana I, to make sure their Revenge is made true.

Hyperboreia; a Land of Tribes and Kingdoms, the lands of the Northern Regions of Europe is the place where Neanderthals walk, where men were men. This is the Land thet will one day be known from The Vikings, The Germans and The Danes. The Hyperboreians are the sons of The North and great Warriors, They have the might of Steel Weapons and the Giant flying Reptiles known as Dragons.

Thule: The Lands west of Hyperboreia, Thule is where Men ride The Mammoths and The Rhinos, were Great Chiefs and Kings rule and fight to keep their land Free.

Mongolia (Asia) The Mongolian Lands are Harsh and varied, the Mongolians have for years fought the Pacifican Empire and have turned to India as a place for Conquest. The Kings of Sunderia, Pol Pat, and Yin-Chang are Rivals to The Rama Empire.

Ethiopia: The Dark Continent of Africa is the land of The Tribes and Kingdoms of a Golden Age of the vanished world. Ethiopia, as The Atlanteans call the African continent, is a land of Roc Riders, Zebras and Powerful Lion Kings, as the Ethiopian Rulers are called.

This land is Tropical and home to many Animals. Rish in Tales of Gods and Animal Heroes, this land will be the most Colorful ever.

Next Post will be on The races of the Antediluvian World.

Just how advanced would this stuff be? For example, would these Muian submarines and war airships be capable of mounting nuclear weapons? Conventional missiles? ETC? Conventional guns? Rams? Machine guns?

I just don't want to design a war airship with missile capacity and then be told that missiles won't fly in this world. (No pun intended.)

The Subs of The Antediluvian era were used to mount Surprise attacks on enemy fleets, They did not have Torpedoes, but They had Rams made of Steel and when they surface, they fire rockets that have High Exploeive Warheads that can blast even a Atlantean Galley into Match wood.
