Colonial Age RP [IC Thread] (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=579170)

I just wanted to know if anyone would like to participate in a non-canon colonial age RP thread. It would probably consist of either colonizing a random island, or getting into a war over land/resources/trade route control. The choice is pretty much up to everyone else. :D
It would be a nation RP, if you couldn't guess from some of the above comments. I would prefer literacy, although that's very hard to enforce. There might be rules on troop numbers and the like if it seems like they are needed.

Edit;


I'm not a big fan of these things, but they can help a lot for the basic things.
It is purposely made to be reasonably vague, so you aren't too limited.
Closed for now

i'll join.

Sounds interesting

Details? Era, tech level, land type, etc.

I heard the word "colony". I'm in.

Colonial Era.
You know.
Colonial Tech?
It's given in the title, silly.
And it's non-canon Kirav. this isn't a land grab thread.
So flintlock pistols. Cannons on ships.
Revolutionary war and the like.

Aye, I know. I just love to colonise, whether or not it's cannon.

Alright then.
So for now it will probably be a colonizing system that snowballs into war.

Sounds awesome.

To be more accurate, might I play as the Coscivian Empire that colonised Kirav?

So, this would be where the people get in lines kneel and fire right?

@Paratroopers; Depends on your country's fighting style, but yes, most armies would kneel, fire, and reload.

@Kirav; Of course you can.

Would people rather have an island or something else. I have an island map already, but it's only okay. I'll wait for a couple more people to officially join, to offset people randomly jumping out mid-RP.

So could we create our own guns, and ships and stuff?

I guess, as long as it fit in the limitations of the era. And it makes sense.
Really, it wouldn't change much, and you don't need to do it.
A musket is a musket.

Edit;
On second thought, I'm gonna provide some rules.
Stay inside the kinds of weapons of the age (Flintlock pistol, musket, etc.) or the ships (Man o' War, Frigate, Galleon). Rather than creating up a whole new class of weapon, which could make things confusing. If you are going to create a whole new class of weapons/ship, please run it by me first. It would limit godmodding.

Edit [2];
Added sign up sheet. Please post it, or anything you think should be added.

could i make something like a 6 shot semi auto musket, it would work like a revolver

Alright. I'll get to updating the front page with these things.
Once again, does anyone mind whether the new continent is an island or not.

101st, I'm sorry, but that is just a little too high tech. I'm sorry, but that would be more of a western era than colonial.

Edit;
Edited the front page with the new sign ups.
I'll wait for just one more person at the most. Tomorrow or later tonight I'll create the IC thread.

I'd like to join as well. However as an interesting twist could I play as some local natives i.e. American Indains with bow's, arrows, ect? Maybe just a local tribe or whole nation?

British East India style company

Ruler: Robert Barnswoth

nongovernmental entity

Nation strength; Land
Region initially grabbed; N/A

Kirav, I'll update.
Ventares, only one country.

Bywhan, since RL threads are not around, they woldn't be American Indians.
But sure, you could roleplay natives.

Because of the lack of response to my repeated question, the new continent will be an island. It's name will be Oliss.

Have fun with inital claims.
I'll be taking the Predominal Tundra.

Yes, your nation does not have to be your actual NS one.
See Kirav's post for an example.
The thread is now closed, unless someone else bails before the RP starts.
I'm going to post the IC thread in a matter of moments. Land grab here, then post colonization in the IC thread.

should we edit our original claims or just add new posts for our claims? edit *darn sniped before I could post*

either way I'd like The Open lands(the northern part if we don't get the whole areas and if we can mix and match then ignore this claiming)

Make some geo features. It looks completely flat.

I call Nerkan forest.

i'll rp as the barnswoth trust then

I claim the rimmed mountains

I added a geographical map to the front page.
Enjoy 101st.
The original map will stay up as a political map.

I guess that leaves me with the Keret Mountains if I want access to the sea. So, I'll take it, yes?

looks like it, unless we're splitting the regions.

looks like it, unless we're splitting the regions.

I find that: A. Unlikely B. Likely. It just depends on the amount of participants we have. Otherwise, why would Heirosoloa have made it into different regions?

@Chazakain; Although your help is welcomed, the front page contains all claims.
Furthermore, my name has no 'n' on the end.

@Kenavt; No, we will not be splitting regions. Your claim will be added on the front page.

since I went by the rp names for the thread you do

Heirosoloa; Heirosoloan Republic-Predominal Tundra

and I find maps nearly always help and I was bored so *shrugs*.

Yes, the Heirosoloan Republic [Republic of Heirosoloa], not Heirosoloan. Either go by the poster name (Shorter) or the full name of the nation.
IC thread is up. I'll link to it on the main page in a moment. Has a similar title to this one.

I'll claim The Heather Fields.

I will definitely need some sea access, though. Could you extend the region to include the adjacent coastline of the Predominal Tundra?

The political map has been fixed with the new Heather Fields. The front page will be updated with your claim.

Thank you very much, Heirosoloa!

I'll post soon. Probably within the hour.

No problem.
Thanks for posting. I didn't want to bump the thread, but I think no one had seen it.
My post was all alone ;]

Uh... bump?

I might jump in.

I just don't want this to die!!!
