Welcome to the second freeform Nes/IOT/story-thing.
The first one enjoyed a fun run for about 15 hours of diplomacy, scheming, and world building until, I guess, some people got too attached to their chosen peoples and declared every act a victory, every step a conquest. This was more than one person, mind you.
This one, being written by one who is definitely NOT sleep deprived and with a handful of lessons from the first one, is going to be several things, not going to be several things, and will be governed by several things.
THREE THINGS IT IS
A story where anyone is an authority
A mutual project of mutual respect and interest
A freeform world where nearly everything anyone says goes
THREE THINGS IT IS NOT
A game focused on nations and victories
A world without consequences
idiot screwball implausible nutcase crazy hellfire spam thread
THREE GOVERNING THINGS
1) Rule of Cool: If it is cool, it is possible.
2) Adjudication: At any time, a writer can call for adjudication on another writer's post. When that happens, the post is temporarily noncanon. If writers wish to discuss the post, they must quote it. The final status of said post will be determined by me. I may choose to pick other people of good taste as well.
3) Mutual Respect: There won't be rules against spamming or nation wanking or what have you, but you gotta respect other writers, their posts as well as the rules of the CFC forum itself.
Before we go further, I would like to say you can participate however you like. Want to put events on a timeline? Go ahead. Want to make a map? Cool! Want to write about a diplomatic situation? Sweet. Just a normal world building story? Awesome.
However: Want to write an update style post? Go ahead. Want to advance the date? Go ahead. Want to write about a nation's utter victory? Go ahead. BUT REMEMBER to keep the three sets of things in mind.
Now we can begin. First we need some kind of world, a playing field. We need it to be relatable enough for conflict and interaction, but other than that first post gets to determine the bare bones of the setting, and following posts get to hash out details.
Enjoy!
