Mission statement: Since the founding of Earth V in 2004, Earth V strives to provide a realistic role-play (RP) simulation of NationStates (NS) nations with real-life territory in the modern-technology (MT) era, in addition maintaining a territory list recognized outside of Earth V.

How does one join Earth V?

First, check the claiming limits:
Nations with a solid history of NS RP: three countries or the equivalent.
For nations with a population of 500 million and above and a history of one month of NS RP: 2 countries and one island (or "*" marked country).
For nations with a population under 500 million but above 200 million: One country and one island (or "*" marked country).
Those who do not meet any of these requirements -- which are there for quality control -- may join as probationary members.

Second, make a request in this thread. Sharina and I shall review the request. All you need to do is state what territory you would like -- although it would be best if you could check the Earth V map (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493109) first. Note that the following are currently the only members on Earth V (ignore anything else on the map):

The Great Sixth Reich
Great Romeo
United Earthlings
Military Command
Sharina

Recent members: The Great Lord Tiger (Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan) and Kar0nd kar (Korea).

If accepted, you will receive a welcome message with further instructions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important Notices:

Some nations have recently fallen. If it appears that a state has been disbanded, it is possible to claim land marked as its, provided that it is RPed by the claiming person.
The United States has special rules, as do certain other large RL states.
Although Earth V is primarily a closed-RP environment, Earth V possessions may represent an Earth V user's land in any NS RP. But if there are other "earths" involved in the RP, this may not be possible.
I must be informed of any changes in Earth V possessions.
There is to be no debating over land in this thread. This is first-come, first-serve.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compliance with alternative history ban statement
The premiers of Earth V wish to remind everyone that Earth is, and has always been, in full compliance with the ban on alternative history RPs. As Scolopendra explains (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528525), "Using Real Earth geography is fine. Using the shape of Real Earth countries is fine. Using Real Earth populations is fine. Using the actual Real Earth countries (culture, history, et al), and thus essentially being a carbon copy of a Real Earth country, is not."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

RP rules:

Before becoming involved in ANY military RP, it is necessary have a military declaration post in the military declaration thread, following the real population rule budget and military statistics as regulated by Sharina.
Though it is discouraged due to the complex rules and limitations, a maximum of one puppet state is allowed for each Earth V state to also use on Earth V. Puppet states CANNOT be in any of the same military alliances (excluding the United Nations) as its "mother country" or vice versa, assist its "mother country" militarily or vice versa, make unfair deals with its "mother country" or vice versa, or be engaged in any military operation on the same side. Moreover, it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that puppets remain as active as its "mother country" or vice versa (they are both required to remain active on Earth V to keep their land, regardless) and that puppets have a unique identity from their mother states and vice versa. Any Earth V state with a puppet on Earth V must inform me so I may enforce these rules, though players with puppets are encouraged NOT to tell others, in order to encourage fair play.
States may be created as real NS nations to represent quasi-sovereignty (such as TG6R Poland), but their populations or budgets may not be used (only the "real" NS state's statistics count).
Time is NS time, but the year is always the RL year.
1 x
- = ---
7 360

7x = 360
x = 360/7
Thus one day RL = ca. 51.42857142857142857142857142857 days Earth V
Thus one hour RL = ca. 2.1428571428571428571428571428571 days Earth V
No creating custom budgets. Always use ratios based on ThirdGeek NS Economy calculations.
RL companies are allowed (but always must be connected to the state in RL), and use of RL equipment is encouraged.
NS militaries are not allowed.

Question:

I currently run an FT nation, but will I be able to run an Earth V nation as its own entity? (as in, participate in E5 events but still maintain my FT RPing)?

The Corporate Plutocracy of Karond Kar has, with additional investment, reemerged from bankruptcy. Due to some errors in this system of communiques, the Board of Directors will communicate via the dummy corporation known as Kar0nd Kar. The Board would like to know which of its territorial claims are still valid.

Question:

Yes, but Earth V is strictly MT. There are some people in the past who have done both MT on Earth V and FT on other places on NS.

Korea is definitely free. If you'd like to join, you'd be a welcomed presence back!

Which thread are we using for general RP?

I'm not sure if I fit the 2 country + island category or the 3 country category (I think the latter, but it's your choice.)

If it is the former, I will claim Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. If the latter, add Northwest China.

Northwest China eh? I hope you're ready to come to blows with The Board.

The Great Lord Tiger, you may have Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan (the USSGR, Great Romeo, will be your neighbor to the north). Kar0nd kar, I welcome you back to Earth V!

Here is the information for newcomers (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11849917&postcount=1610) (the bottom part that discusses military strengths calculations is particularly important). More information and all the relevant Earth V threads are listed under the "Earth V Links" section in this thread.

If you have any questions, just ask.

So this is a completely new Earth V? All of the nations listed, not highlighted in red, are open for the claiming?

So this is a completely new Earth V? All of the nations listed, not highlighted in red, are open for the claiming?
The text list hasn't been updated in about two years. But yes, this is an almost completely new Earth V, with anything not under the possession of the seven listed players under the "How does one join Earth V?" section -- which has a link to a map to show the territory of five of those older players -- open for claiming.

So then I can claim England, Scotland, Wales, and the Channel Islands, if I wished to?

I hate to be so n00by, but... are you saying the United States claimed by Neuvo Rica is open? And if so, am I bound to Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan now? Or can I... switch...

Oi, I was going for that.....

Well, by my count, the unclaimed states are:

Alabama
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Mississippi
Missouri
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
West Virginia


There's enough to go around -- assuming 3rd GR lets me switch (which I'd understand if he didn't).

Sorry I read it incorreclty, I want the United Kingdom, not the United States.

You may have any four of those, if you'd like to switch.

Well, no, Texas counts as a full nation. But, I will possess:

- Florida
- Georgia
- Alabama
- Mississippi

And this is the final change, period. How do I figure out the number of military/defense assets I have -- divide the U.S.'s approximate number of units by (umm... 50/4 = 12.5)?

Sorry I read it incorreclty, I want the United Kingdom, not the United States.

Sadly, the United Kingdom has already been claimed by Military Command. However, many other European countries are still available. Italy for example.

Sixth-It's good to see your alive, after watching your nation get deleted I was beginning to have my doubts that Earth V would ever live again. Though not as graphic intensive as ALM's map, my thread on the Nations of Earth V is a little more up to date if you ignore the claims of ALM, Candistan, Zaheran and Tristan Providence the rest is quite accurate and up to date. You might want to think about adding that thread to your list of threads. Edit: Here's the link to the thread-http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=516571

I do have a final note to say to all, those of us still active do have some ongoing roleplays to claim new nations that you should be aware of. Me and MC are in a current roleplay with him invading North Korea (South Korea has already been claimed) to claim it and I'm in a roleplay by myself to claim Algeria, Morocco and the Cape Verde Islands. As far as I'm aware, those are currently the only four nations that are in contention.

Finally, to all newcomers, welcome.

UE, North and South Korea, as well as Northwest China were the domains of Karond Kar's Board of Directors long before this new . I understand that Military Command may have put some effort into this invasion. As such, I'm prepared to treat it as an invasion of Karond Kar, which I'll be happy to roleplay the defense of.

Putting a side the issue that those territories were claimed by you a long time ago and hence your claim to them has become irreverent to the present. As neither North Korea nor Northwest China has been claimed and seeing as only North Korea is in any type of dispute (MC's invasion) I'll leave it to you and MC and Sixth if he gets involved to work out a good compromise.

Should you choose to continue the roleplay (with it might appear the support of Northwest China if your claim of it is granted) then I'll be more then happy to relinquish control to you. However, I'd also be willing to continue my position as roleplaying North Korea while you roleplay Northwest China while we work together to defeat the invasion by the capitalist pigs. Earth V has needed a good player vs player conflict to liven things up for awhile. Whatever the ultimate outcome, I look forward to seeing the return of life to Earth V.

Should you choose to take over the roleplay of North Korea in it's war with the UCF, here's the thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=527272) to allow to you catch up on what's been going on. If, need be I can send you a quick TG on what my plans and defense positions were to allow you to have a better idea of where to take the nation.

The issue with working together to defeat the capitalist pigs is that Karond Kar IS the ultimate representation of capitalist pigs. Karond Kar is essentially a monolithic publicly traded company, which treats is citizen as assets rather than people. While this prevents our co-operation, it makes for some great roleplay if I take territories of China instead of Korea.

New Greston, UE is correct: MC has had the UK for a while, as even the old map shows.

Kar0nd kar, what part(s) of China would you like?

Sadly, the United Kingdom has already been claimed by Military Command. However, many other European countries are still available. Italy for example.

I log directly into Jolt instead of NS, which is why my NS account always look as if I were much more inactive than I actually am. Thanks for the reminder about Korea.

Are France or Germany open for claiming?

Can I have all of it?

Are France or Germany open for claiming?
The map (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493109) is actually 100 percent accurate for showing what is already taken in Europe (although I would also advise you that the Balkans can be a bit messy, even in Earth V). France and Germany are among those taken.

Can I have all of it?
Three-quarters of it.

I'll leave the Northwest bit then. Also, would you like me to try and get Tenebricosis to come back? If so, is Russia available for him?

Confirmed.

As for Tene, all his land would be gone, including Russia, which would make his "return" more of a complete restart. I'm not sure whether it's a good idea, but if he wanted to return, he could.

Would I be allowed to take Macedonia, Albania, Greece, and Bulgaria. They are all small nations and after looking at the map, I believe they are all open.

Yes, that would be acceptable.

New members (and rejoining members):

Do you need any assistance in determining what to post in your entry in the military strengths thread, or in otherwise understanding the rules? The rules look complex, but they really are not.

Well, as I asked above,

How do I figure out the number of military/defense assets I have -- divide the U.S.'s approximate number of units by (umm... 50/4 = 12.5)?

Well, as I asked above,
Here's your defense budget and allowed maximum military personnel:
NS population: 666,000,000
RL population: 18,251,243+9,544,750+4,627,851+2,918,785 = 35,342,629
Factor: 0.0530670105
NS defense budget: $3,388,599,721,320.30
Earth V defense budget: $179,822,857,000

Personnel:
active (2%) = 706,852,58
reserve (3%) = 1,060,278.87

You may use U.S. equipment numbers from bases in the area, if you like, or you could make up your own numbers, as long as it is reasonable and does exceed your budget or manpower limits.

You really are the Great Sixth Reich, only someone or something with the Reich in their name would do such an unexpected, daring, underhanded, dare I say evil thing. So, yeah I should of figured out as much you trickster you. :rolleyes:

Oh btw, no worries about Korea. If, it wasn't for me writing that Nations of Earth V thread, I'd be worse off then you. I'm sure you remember at least a few of those who the hell was that and what did they claim replies I posted. If it wasn't for you and ALM, I'd still be confused as hell. So, thank you and your debt was now been paid, at least some of it. :p

To Sixth and all Newcomers. Here's a list of available(Open to Claim) nations/islands to help you in your selection. They are of course in alphabetical order, because turning chaos into order is always fun especially when you’re the one who can turn it back into chaos without notice. :D:hail::rolleyes:

Just a reminder: This (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=492522&page=39) is the main IC thread, although it is a wise idea to conduct major and long-term occurrences in a separate threads.

TGSR, Ireland should also be marked off as it is also under my control from the Earth V Map page too.

But there have been some new posts in the IC thread recently.

I posted on the maps and claims thread, if I could get a confirmation

I posted on the maps and claims thread, if I could get a confirmation
But the Maps and Claims thread says in huge red letters at the top "If you wish to make a claim, please do not post here"! ;)

As for your claim, you may have it, but I must wonder what you would do with such seemingly random choices. (Then again, I started with Germany, Poland, East Timor, and the Maldives!)

We're still open to new members, and there's plenty of land.

I also wonder what happened to those who recently joined but haven't posted anything as of yet.

Well, that's kinda of my fault. For you see, I went and placed a deadly curse on them that would prevent them from every posting again. That land is mine and I see no reason to share it. It is in our nature to RUN things, It is our destiny to RUN the world, maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day...

A New World Order has began, and we will RUN that Order in a elegant manner. :hail::rolleyes:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, I agree they need to post something already. Earth V really needs more PvP contact if it is to survive, which it is only doing now by a hair thread.

Oh, now I understand why you chose "RUN"! :rolleyes:

But, unless someone assassinates me, which is quite unlikely, I'll still be here to make sure Earth V avoids death. (But there's actually an RP going on right now over Italy; Earth V still has some activity.)

People browsing this thread who aren't members: Please join. Earth V offers many advantages in comparison to other places, especially with regard to realism.

Good to see that Earth V is still alive! I'm not really surprised, as it was one of the best (ok, THE best) RP I participated in, back in the old days :rolleyes:

I really recommend new players to join this earth because there are a couple of experienced players who can help you to set off in the wondrous world of Nationstates. Players like TG6R, Military Command and UE will always gladly help you and advise you, so...

Look no further and join Earth V! :p

Anyways, I'll first refresh my Role-playing abilities before I decide to rejoin, but it is seriously tempting...

Given the lackluster activity, it's activity check time! Anyone who currently has claims but does not post in response in a responsible amount of time may have his claims marked as available for new members. I'm doing this so that it is as clear as possible to prospective members which land is available.

The following members are considered active:
The Great Sixth Reich
Great Romeo
UE
MC
Sharina
(Although I'd feel much more comfortable if Sharina popped in to say that he's still around...)

Maybe you would, but that freaking green blob gives me the creeps. :tongue::rolleyes: So, with all due respect, will you please stop poking the sleeping giant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoroku_Yamamoto%27s_sleeping_giant_quote). :rolleyes:

REJOIN! :)

I fully second this and hereby submit my endorsement for this action to be taken. Some active company in the Western Hemisphere would be most welcome. Staring down the green monster alone is exhausting not to mention nerve shattering beyond description.

Thanks for the enthusiasm guys! I must say that after one look at the latest map of EV the Western hemisphere doesn't look too comfortable. :)
Besides Sharina and I used to be big buddies so perhaps it isn't the wisest idea to have us both on your border...:D

I'm not sure what to claim but I was thinking about either Southern Africa or return to my ancient homeland in South-East Asia...

Is it me or didn't I just get done saying that. :rolleyes: Besides, I've been tag teamed before. I'm much better prepared for it now, *Cough*Nuclear Weapons and Long Range Strategic bombers*Cough*

Even if it's a defacto enemy, anything’s better then facing down the green blob alone. Besides, I know that big buddies thing wouldn't last long. Nothing survives contact with the big green blob and the green blob would finally have someone else to directed their evil eyes on besides the Republic. Besides, if you took some of those open Southern States, I would finally be able to buy some American equipment I've been wanting. It's a Win-Win for me! But, alas I guess I'm destined to face down the green blob alone.

I'm not sure what to claim but I was thinking about either Southern Africa or return to my ancient homeland in South-East Asia...

Either one, you might not like what you find on your return. I've become quite possessive of the Indian Ocean and consider it my personal lake. What happens when the majority of your claims are located there. :rolleyes:

Still, if and wherever you decide to claim, new blood would be most welcome. Earth V has been quiet for far to long.

A nice piece of land in the Southern US covered by the Warta Endorean flag sounds nice indeed. A bit risky indeed with the Green Blob on my border but tension is always nice. :D

And btw, doesn't The Great Lord Tiger have a claim on some parts of the Southern US?

I guess we will probably have to fight over certain territories, but I'll take my chances. :p

Can I claim Singapore, Malaysia and Australia? If that's too much just Australia and Singapore please.

Can I claim Singapore, Malaysia and Australia?
Sure.

In fact, according to the extraordinarily old main claims list, you already own them. :)

I'm checking in and that I would like to welcome back Warta Endor back to Earth :)) Also UE if you could please post in the Korean War and also if you would like to join TGSR and I to invade Italy or help me with my African expanse that would be great.

Not for long, if he/she doesn't declare their activity soon.

I guess we will probably have to fight over certain territories, but I'll take my chances. :p

Well, for the time being I'm a little preoccupied in Africa so you got my permission to take some liberty in the Indian Ocean, just don't be surprised when the Republic finishes it's mission in Africa, that it gets a little more aggressive in protecting what's been for most of it's history it's sphere of influence and it's play ground.

As for the Western Hemisphere, I won't have to fight you over any territories as the green blob will do that for me. The green blob is very protective of it's domain in the Western Hemisphere as the Republic is of it's domain in the Indian Ocean.

Also UE if you could please post in the Korean War and also if you would like to join TGSR and I to invade Italy or help me with my African expanse that would be great.

I'm fully intending on putting up a new post in the Korean War thread, I just have to write it up and so far I haven't gotten around to that yet. Na, I'm good you go have fun with Sixth in destroying what's left of the Vineyard Empire. Depending on where you plan to expand into Africa, I might be willing to assist you or if your expanding into my sphere of influence oppose you. However, whatever I do I'm going to finish up my mission in North West Africa first.

Not for long, if he/she doesn't declare their activity soon.
Indeed.

In fact, according to the extraordinarily old main claims list, you already own them. :)

Ah well, according to the old claim list I own a lot more :p

But anyways, my military declaration post will be updated soon and I'm already planning my first RP, the recovery of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. So UE, beware :D

Rampage, plunder, annex, etc... all you want in the Java Sea, South China Sea, Philippine Sea, etc... I don't really care. Stay out of the Indian Ocean and we'll get along swell, in fact I'm sure you'll find me [The Republic] to be a great neighbor. Enter the Indian Ocean with the desire to annex territories and all bets are off. So, beware this is your first and only warning. Enter the Indian Ocean at your own risk, you have been warned!:D:rolleyes:

The Indian Ocean is mine and I see no reason to share it!:upyours::rolleyes:

Sixth, not to nitpick, but in your last IC post there was a little something that caught my eye that seemed a little off. The bolded part of the following quote is the part that seemed to me to be a little off.

Air forces bases throughout Austria, Germany, and Switzerland have been bustling with activity as they prepare for the launch of operations against rebel forces in Italy. War games are also being conducted at Weißwasser and in the Swiss Alps, the later of which where Tornado ECR aircraft are also finishing practicing Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) missions in preparation for the upcoming operation.

Austria? I thought no one was allowed to claim that nation as it was designated as under UN control. Where the hell was I when you claimed Austria or am I missing something?:confused:

I'm extraordinarily happy that you caught that. That's a mistake; I own the Czech Republic, not Austria, but I always seem to confuse them when posting on Earth V for some reason.

No Problem, glad I could help, but that does beg the question. What is wrong with the Monocracy that the they never got around to annexing Austria, it's not like the UN has any purpose. They both speak German for heavens sake.:rolleyes:

I think it was because of political problems; back in the day, it was strategically better for the Monocracy to have influence on Austria by creating an international organization that it essentially controlled rather than attempting to annex a country that other nearby players wanted.

Speaking of that, the UN really should play a greater role. Once more people join Earth, it should start creating binding international laws again.

Well, times change, the only other player that would even think about taking it now would be MC. I decided long ago to stay out of the rest of Europe due to the unusually borders it would of ended up creating. For example, were I to annex say Ukraine. It would just look so weird with a little blue blob shoved in the middle between all that Navy Blue and Red. My European holdings look weird enough as it is, no need to make it worse, don't you agree?:tongue::rolleyes:

Oh it will, it might just not be the UN you had in mind.[*Cue Evil Laughter*]:D:rolleyes:

I am thinking of after I finish with North Korea that I might expand into the Russian country side. As my attempt to buy that area. I think that it would be ok to annex Austria too for the UCF but I would leave that up to the Reich. Well would anyone have a problem if I begin talks with the heads of the Russian Military Districts Commander in the area and I am going to reopen talks with the Military Regional Commanders in China to that border North Korea. So, if anyone would like to pick up the ball to be a Russian or Chinese Military Commander that would be a big help. Thanks.

Milan Srecko wouldn't look at that favorably... ;)
(He considered your offer offensive, which is why he didn't even consider it.)

A war is going on in Italy, and about half of the world (everything except those five players listed in post 57 in this thread) is available for claiming.

There's no better time to join Earth V, prospective new members!

Does anyone know if Sharina is still RPing here or not as I would like to make a few defense request about some new equipment. Also I would like to know how much of current military projects can we use? I know that some have the F-35 Lightning in the military decree. So, if we can use a few current military projects then I would like to put forward my new Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers and a few others.

Officially, Sharina is still here, although I haven't seen him around in a while.

Generally, anything not completed is not available for Earth V militaries. Real-world "current military projects" are allowable on a case-by-case basis, provided that the project is near completion (i.e., a prototype is available now or it should have been available now if the government hadn't cut funding for it -- technological problems, however, are an invalid excuse). Also, contrary to what I think is the common popular thought here due to the emphasis on real-world equipment, there never was a ban on custom military projects, although they do take a long time, require significant infastructure, and cannot exceed modern technology.

I'll post my military actions in Italy in the main IC thread in about two weeks; I'm a bit busy until then.

But I'll still check to answer any new posts before that time.

Hello is this thread still alive???

Indeed. We'd like to open our hearts to welcome Persecution and Hatred to Earth V! (Sorry, I couldn't resist making such an ironic sentence! :))

Actually, we are having some activity problems at the moment, although there is an ongoing war in Italy and unrest throughout the former Vineyardian empire.

(MC, I'll have a post on Italy up by the end of the week.)

(TGSR, That is fine. Are you going to post it in the International Thread or on the Operation 'Holy War' Thread? As I am currently working on a new combat operation and would like to know where to post it.Thank you very much.)

It's a wise idea to use the main IC thread instead of a separate thread so that everyone can see it. Separatate threads are good when there is much going on, but, as you can probably tell, there is not a whole lot happening right now.

Work in Progress, I'm hoping to have something posted by the end of next week.

South Africa would be fine, but you'd have to RP a Cyprus takeover from the Vineyardian remnants. (Norway, however, I've owned for a very long time.)

I should warn you that you probably are going to have terrorist problems so long as Islam is not your state's official religion (it may be a tolerated religion, but that really doesn't help when the area in question is the Holy Land) and you maintain a presence in the Middle East, but that just makes things more interesting. ;)

Don't forget about making a military declaration, too.

WOW, that's pretty spread out, even more then I was when first starting out and I was pretty spread out. If, I had to do it over again, I think I would of have picked nations that were more together or at least located in the same region. Oh well...

Then again when I joined, Earth V was a beehive of activity. :(

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sixth, what's going on with Great Romeo, I saw that his nation got deleted, is he still active or have we lost another member?

BTW, I think it might be time to do another activity check to see who’s active and who’s not.

(Although I'd feel much more comfortable if Sharina popped in to say that he's still around...)"

Persecution and Hatred is the only addition.

Sixth, I would like to know if you would be ok if I was to do a peaceful joining of the Far-East and Siberian Military Districts to the United Citizen's Federation to help with the people to bring them more food and protection because of the The Great Romeo Government falling. That is if he doesn't put up and say that he is still here.

That concludes today lessen, next week will discuss the joys of being a beta tester. Class Dismissed. :rolleyes:

Well, a beta is always better than an alpha...

MC, what's going on with your operations in Italy?

I wanted to know what units landed at the airport and then I would go from there into Rome. Also what other unite were in Italy so I could work them into things.

I wanted to know what units landed at the airport and then I would go from there into Rome. Also what other unite were in Italy so I could work them into things.
Opps. I thought I posted them, but I apparently did not.

The 3rd Battalion, 1st Armored Division, under the command of Oberstleutnant Kazimierz Pierzynka, is on the ground at the airport. The 6th Company, 7th Company, and 8th Company of the Kommando Spezialkräfte (naval special forces) are also present at the airport, and there are also 24 members of the clandestine MND Special Action Department, under the command of someone with the code name "COBRA."

I'll get you the other units later.

Ok, after much thought on the matter here's what I have decided to do in relation to the new forum after seeing that's it's shaping up nicely. This should allow us all to get on the same page if and when we do decide to move to the new forum. After, I finish up my roleplay dealing with North Africa, I plan to start making backup copies of threads and posts I consider important, such as factbooks and the list of Earth V members, etc...

Once I have finished making all those backup copies, I'll start transferring them [posting them] to the new forum so as to starting building an Earth V history, while hopefully attracting some new blood in the process.

I estimate that it will take me about another month or two to completely wrap up the North Africa roleplay, so you all got plenty of time to think about what we want to do and get back to me, so we can get a game plan going. [Is it just me or did that last sentence make it seem as if I’m the boss of Earth V? If so, sorry Sixth, I guess I got a little carried away about the grand plans of this little community of your’s (ours).

Edit: Forget the sentence, almost the whole post seems to imply... Oh what the hell, see I told you the RUN would one day RUN the known world known only to a select few as Earth V.]:rolleyes:

Anyway, Earth V 4.0 here we come!:D

It looks as if we may have to make the move, which means, of course, that everyone should make preparations for the change.

I feel funny writing "everyone," considering how few members we have at the moment. But we may change when we transfer over to the new...

Well change would have happen sometime anyway.

Before we transition, I would like to a take a moment to ask the current players about any changes they would like to see in new Earth V.

Currently, this is what I intend to change (or, rather, bring back from the past):
Increased focus on great power politics. In this current version, no one has the slightest idea who is powerful and who isn't, mainly because some people who are supposed to be great powers disappear and seem disinterested in world politics. As part this, nuclear weapons will play a greater role as the Monocracy starts (and shortly finishes: we have lots of nuclear reactors) a nuclear weapons program to deal with the increased dangers of a multipolar world. (The only other powers who have nuclear weapons are Sharina and the USSGR, if I'm not mistaken. So few people have mentioned nuclear weapons in RP that it's hard to tell who has them...)
The UN will be active again in the same format.
The non-mandatory random events generator will probably make a return.

With the lack of a link to Jolt now, we'll make the move by the end of this week. Be sure to back up your military declarations!

1. Interesting concept, but how and by what guidelines would we use to measure the various nations to determine their status. GDP? Population? Military Strength? Land Area?, etc... or a combination of various factors. If, we do implement this, I have a few ideas on how to determine it from various games I've seen it used in.

1A. :(I guess the Republic needs to conduct a few more tests as it seems the world has forgotten that it too has long since acquired nuclear weapons.

2. *Cough*WA*Cough* Besides that, I kind of like it quiet. Allows my version of the UN [Republic of United Nations] in case anyone has forgotten, to be more active.

3. I miss that random event thingy, what ever happen to it? If it does make a return I get first dibs on the first event it generates.

With the lack of a link to Jolt now, we'll make the move by the end of this week. Be sure to back up your military declarations!

There's still a link, they just removed it from the sidebar and just requires you to go through a few more mouse clicks to get to it. Click on News and you'll see a News Item that has two links in it, click on the one in the second sentence, from there you can click on "go to the old jolt forum" or something to that effect.

Might take me longer then a week, but I'll have at least some of it ready to transfer. I was hopping to at least finish up that one RP I was doing with Morocco, Algeria and Cape Verde, but oh well.

One final thing, at least the new forum is no longer in beta. That's good news.

I know that I have been playing France and the United Kingdoms and they both have Nuclear Weapons. I have also been working out on hard copy about bring back some major naval forces for the Japanese Navy and I will be building a major ships and miltiary forces up for the whole of the UCF.

Here (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2878)'s the new recruiting thread.

I should make this clear: We're essentially moving to the new forum, and it would be a wise idea to pay attention to the new recruiting thread to make sure the newbies don't try anything stupid.
