Apolyton Original NESser
Listen one and all to a tale of great NES. Back in my day, NESses didn't have all these fancy "SP" or "ECON" or anything like that, no, back in my day you could do what you wanted so long as you had a story to go 'long with it! Updates were as much as someone could change the map, and it didn't matter if the MOD was gone because the NESsers moderated themselves.
This is not a "story NES" but the goal is an entertaining read. There will be more rules than the original one, only because it could be difficult to avoid flamewars otherwise.
Rules
1. We want this to be an entertaining read, to encourage this, I will be giving sick bonuses for the best-written post/orders before update, funniest post/orders before update, and anything else I feel deserves a bonus for whatever reason.
2. Orders can be PMed to me, or posted, I only ask that whether PMed or Posted, they take up no more than 30 Lines (not including returns, space them out a lot, I like that) This is to keep things short and simple.
3. Diplomacy will be encouraged, alliances will find themselves gaining a little more than individual nations will alone.
4. Stories can be as long as you wish, I like to read them.
5. Military size is relative to population size, so if you've got a small country with a large army, expanding your population will shrink your army because of the ratio of troops to people.
6. Tales and diplomacy are the only way to increase Technology, Economy is a level of how well your people trade with each other, you can increase several things if you are clever about your orders and alliances. Bonuses for instigating international organizations for whatever reason. Otherwise, anything goes, build wonders, UU's, Found Cities (I can add dots to the map) anything that can add to the story will be allowed.
7. That's about it for the rules, don't post until I give the okay!
