Conference of Bombay [Empires of Joy Claims]

The Conference of Bombay will have its own thread because to keep the main thread focused on the main game. Consider the Conference an extended mini-game.

The Conference will last until all provinces on the map are claimed. Each turn is called a "round", and each turn will last roughly 48 hours plus an additional 24 hours if there are conflicting claims.

Each round will begin with a new map being posted. You will be told A.) The number of Negotiation Points you will receive for the round and B.) What the provinces claimed in the round will yield in terms of starting population and buildings.

Conflict Rules

Player A puts 1 NP into Alphatown. Nobody else does. PlayerA receives Alphatown.
Player A spends 2 NP on Alphatown. Player B spends 1. Player A receives Alphatown.
Player A and Player B tie and spend the same amount of NP on Alphatown. There is a conflict round, and all world leaders have one vote to determine which of the two get the province.

The vote is against A. A does not get Alphatown. A gets an additional NP the next round. NPs cannot be banked otherwise.

Conflicts can be resolved between A and B without a vote if they do it within the 24 hour window. Otherwise, the vote results are binding.

Round 1

Conditions

Everybody has 4 Negotiating Points.

Every territory claimed this round will have 10 Pops, 5 Buildings.

Next round everybody will have 6 NPs or more.

Next round, territories claim will have 5 pops, no buildings, and increased chance of resources.

Rule Edits Coming

Frontier Spirit used to only work for provinces only 5 pops. It now works for provinces under 10. Provinces under 10 pops are considered colonies.

Do you wish to join the game?

This round, new players can still join. New players receive three claims, which are "non-negotiable". New empires receive no NPs this round.

NEVER MIND

You have only 3 guaranteed claims since you joined this turn, afaik.

Tolni is correct. If you just joined, you do not have four additional claims this round since I don't want to deal with somebody joining three rounds from now and having a dozen NP all at once.

Valkyrian Republic

1 NP in HAMBURG
1 NP in HESSE
1 NP in BAVARIA
1 NP in RHINELAND
oops \/ fixed

Five NP?

United Eastern Coalition

1st NP: Ukraine
2nd NP: Georgia
3rd NP: Kazakhstan
4th NP: Volga

From: The United Eastern Coalition
To: World

The Coalition lays future claim to the regions of Karelia, the Transurals, Siberia, Yakutsk, Irkutsk, Tuva, Transbaikal and Kamchatka, declaring these regions to be their rightful sovereign territories. Any manner of invasive actions upon these territories will result in war.

We warn the Chinese to cease expanding northward beyond Mongolia, and we expect Japan to stay clear of Kamchatka. Don't bother us, and we won't bother you.

1 NP Canton
1 NP Liaoning
1 NP Jehol
1 NP Manchuria

From Republic of China
To World

China's claims to it's lands exist regardless of the results of this conference. Soon we intend to claim Yunan, Sinkiang, Tsinghai, and Mongolia. The Indians can go as far as Tibet, which is culturally quite similiar to themselves, if they want to. The Japanese can expand throughout the sea zones, Korea, and Siberia if they wish.

But if you invade what is ours, then even if we can't fight you now you will face war in the future.

Changing name of Empire to United Victoran Directorates

Sorry for the horrendous spelling, if you need clairificatiom ask me.

@Tolni: Sorry, Christopher put a real spanner in my expansion plans this turn. However, if you respect my Canadian claims I promise to not expand in North America anymore and I will back your claims in voting rounds (including Newfoundland, which is being voted on right now).

-1 NP into Lombardy
-1 NP into Sicily
-1 NP into Sardinia
-1 NP into Corsica
