Modern American Civil war IDEA

North Calaveras
17-07-2008, 06:28
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a American Civil war, im no good at map making and all that, but i was wondering if someone could make the idea come to life. Ive really wanted this to go down, and think it would be fun. Players could take a certain number of states and continue from there. Greal maybe you are interested, as well as others. But ya, i thought it was a good idea, just need someone to get it off its feet. We could include such things as outside supply lines, depending on your goverment etc. but nothing great.

MT or PT?
Greal
17-07-2008, 06:35
Interested, but will this be MT? Or nineteen century era tech?
North Calaveras
17-07-2008, 06:40
modern day timeline and tech, or we can go with WW2 tech.
East Laos
17-07-2008, 06:40
If it's MT, then I will, if PT, then maybe, Probly not though.
East Laos
17-07-2008, 06:42
I say modern tech.

And you say we would claim states that would be part of each side? If so can I have California, Nevada, and Arizona?
North Calaveras
17-07-2008, 06:42
lol sorry, those were gonna be my claims HA!!!, maybe we can split Cali though.

sweet, i was thinking of being a new confederacy, but your cool to, but we must wait first, things need to be sorted out, you might not have all of the former states, and we don't know how many states are allowed to start with.
Greal
17-07-2008, 06:49
I say we can only claim three states. :mp5:
East Laos
17-07-2008, 06:49
DAMNIT!!!! LOL...I'll take New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

I wanna focus alot on how gangs are gonna be a major part of my side. They'll be a large milita force.

EDIT: Changed Delaware to Pennsylvania.

17-07-2008, 06:50

Okay wait wait wait, everyone's getting to excited i think lol, Greal can you make another forum set up like the earth rp? or are we allowed to rp this on here, they do have a thing against this in the rules.
Greal
17-07-2008, 06:53
I claim New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio.

East laos, I already claimed this

Should I set up an offsite RP?
East Laos
17-07-2008, 06:54
Shit, ok I'll take Georgia, North and South Carolina...
North Calaveras
17-07-2008, 06:56
yes greal that would be good

Second of all

Should we all have american weapons? or do we base all our tech on freindly goverments F.E " Monarchy goverment in america" Allowed tech " British etc."

third of all three states sounds good we can expand into other states from there.
North Calaveras
17-07-2008, 06:57
alright, lets start with claims NOW, someone wanted the old confederacy, well only three states allowed, what did the confederate player want states wise?
Greal
17-07-2008, 06:57
Maybe all our states should be separate. No allies unless we form dilpomatic relations lol. :salute:

I'll set it up

yes, all our states are considerd equal in everyone's eyes at the beginning, but you can change them from states to something else, for instance mine are going to be called "Republics."

I would suggest that you simply use online maps from what ever time
you're playing in.

I hear you can do a google images search and find them...

Or for modern ( now ) just use Google Earth, it's what I do for my
war's on here.

Is the West Coast taken?

I'd like that if I could get in.

have you ever heard of a little place called Iraq?

Nuclear Weapons / ships aside

the south does not have a Huge supply of weapons,
yes it has many US bases and training camps.
But dense populations are bigger targets too...
Cascade States
17-07-2008, 20:44
if so I'd like to be

Washington State,

Oregon State,

and Either Northern California ( which would become "lower Oregon"

Or Idaho State.
Californion
17-07-2008, 21:22
I would like to claim Utah

either
Nevada: If it hasn't been claimed
Idaho: If it hasn't been calimed

and

New Mexico: if it hasn't been claimed

Hah that's funny. I'd take the south over Iraq any day. For one thing, we actually know how to shoot. For another, Iraq has only slightly more population than the three states I claimed on the forums. For yet a third, I guarantee the number of guns in those three states is larger than those held by Iraq. Even discounting the military bases in VA and the NRA museum. We have 9 in this house. Iraqis(assuming they have the legal amount) may have one gun per military aged man per house. There are two of us in here, so we're already 5 guns up... Figure the guys that have dozens, figure weapons collectors, figure in wackjobs, we probably have nearly as many guns in VIRGINIA as there are in private hands in Iraq.

I'm just saying that Iraq is Way More dangerous than The south,
small arms.
Respectfully, you should see how many Tons of Guns the Russians sold them,
How many tons of ammunition, High Explosives...
Nope Iraq is way more dangerous.

I'm not the admin, just a Moderator. Like I said, we HAVE NO STATES left. I don't even think it's active anymore. I may go freelance and set up my own offsite if you want to join maybe. However, as per the rules, you can only claim states next to each other, Ie. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas (My Nation by the way, lol).

Attention everybody interested in Modern Civil War RP!

We are officially restarting the Modern Civil War Offsite RP. New sign-ups will commence immediately and all states will be claimed on a first post, first served basis. For those nations that have been lurking for an extended period (Cascade States, East Laos, etc.), the states they have claimed will be reserved for them up to 48 hours from the moment this is posted. After that, they are free-game.

All existing nations will be able to retain their conqueres states, so long as they agree not to expand anymore (unless of course one of the nations [old or new] gets too big.) Everybody is welcome to join, and please post here before registering at the offsite forum.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask either me or North Calavares.
