Okay, this is a little thing, but it has been bugging me for a while now: how is it that torturing PoWs is apparently two times as bad (or at least two times as damaging to the very fabric of Creation) than razing a city, something that presumably involves the death of many if not all citizens...

It occurs to me that the Sheaim are a very strange faction, inasmuch as they start out as basically an union of evil cultists from everywhere (or this is, at least, what I have been able to discern). This makes sense early in their history, when they are basically a tribal city-state led...

AFSNES I – The New Dawn The ruleset for the NES Proper. POST NOT WITHOUT MY MANDATE! Setting The setting of this NES is an alternate Earth, where history had diverged from the ancient time and already reached the 8th century AD (according to the Sumerian calendar). It is hard to...

The pre-AFSNES I. Or, the “BT” portion. Introduction AFSNES I is a part of the name of my Advanced Fresh Start experiment, wherein the idea is to create a fairly advanced, yet highly original setting by the means of several BT updates (that is to say, comparatively concise updates...

Now before I say anything else... don't get excited. The next NES mentioned in the title likely wouldn't come any time soon. In fact we will be lucky if it begins at some point in this July. My schedule is likely to be very unstable even then, so I really cannot make any promises. But we all...

NES RULES ITNES I - An Epoch of Change Well, here it is. DO NOT POST UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN! Setting Blah blah blah farmers, blah blah blah polar bears, blah blah blah tiny nuclear devices, blah blah blah change history. History was altered beyond repair in 3000 BC, but now is 435 AD, and so...

It is Wednesday - time to post this thread, the primary objective of which is, ofcourse, giving me something of a better excuse for my continued procrastination in the matter of reviving ITNES I. Now, before you mob me angrily, I must mention that there are other, less important objectives -...

Created out of curiosity, but results may be used to variously annoy Reno by proving his doomsday prophecies of a while ago completely false (all in good spirit ofcourse ;) ). This mostly concerns the 2006 newbies. We have had quite a lot of people join in this year, and some are joining even...

NES2 VIb - Return of the Chaos. Rules. DO NOT POST UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN. Setting In a world different from our own since the 16th century, a completely different balance of powers emerged, with religious tensions being minimized, and replaced by greater international violence and ethnic...

I won't be making a poll because I can't be bothered to count all the numerous variants. But anyway, we have lots of mods here. The overwhelming majority of them has made, or tried to make, at least one update. Now, updating is very difficult, but some parts of it are more difficult than the...

It has been remarked that NESing would've been quite confusing had there not been maps; I daresay that it would've been even more confusing had we not used letters, words and even sentances. As it happened, we did - a vast variety of them, in fact, many of them being quite outstanding and...

Hmmph. I waited to see if anyone would actually remember it; as it was, noone did, and although its abit selfish of me to start this thread, someone has to do it. :p

NES2 VI - Last Semblance of Order. Rules. DO NOT POST UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN. Yes, that's all the rules. What did you expect, an economic system?! Setting This is set in a different world. The year now is 1748, but already, the Industrial Revolution is advancing, and other revolutions -...

OOC: It was closed before I could post this, alas. Spam is an evil greater than even that of the penguins. IC: The alarms were raging. Throughout the base, panic spread. Technicians and guards alike were running around, seemingly-aimlessly. Sometimes - not seemingly. Finally, a clear...

I know I made one before, but it sunk far away. Now it seems to be needed once more, not to mention extended to officially include "Future History" as well. This is rather like the alternate history thread for all purposes, only it aims at the creation, development, discussion and maybe...

NES2 V - The Great Game. Rules. DO NOT POST UNTIL I SAY YOU CAN. Setting Not really all that long ago, in our own world but in another universe, life went on. A great era of peace was inaguarated in 1827, and so far, towards 1860, the world was in a comparative state of peace. Sure, there...

I'm still not sure as to what I should do now that IT III of ITNES I is nearing conclusion, and to make things more organized, I'll start a formal poll. Options: 1) Put ITNES I on Hiatus, start an althist NES (based either in one of the maps I posted in silver's thread, either on the one I'll...

Alright, there already was a thread like that before, but sadly, I failed to find it. So, I'll start a new one. The purposes of this thread are to: 1) Share ideas for new NESes that would have been nice to have here. 2) Nagg at the people who promised to start NESes but forgot to. :p 3)...

As times, boring and interesting, go, stuff happens. So much stuff that it might not be east to catch up. So I decided to start a history thread where BT and Summary IT updates will be posted. Also, other players and lurkers can feel free to post ITNES history articles or discuss althistorical...
