Alternate Timeline Building Experiment, v1.0

[Kraznaya]

This isn't a NES, though I believe it falls under the aegis of this forum (aegis=strange word).

I was addressing the prospect of converting this to a true NES, in any case.

I might start a Cradle NES in an Earlier Era... Any suggestions? It would be like Jal's Quicker and Easier, except Rapider and Simpler, and speedy yet comprehensive updates! Pick a Cradle: any cradle!

Great Update.

This Update= World of Warcraft^Strangelove^All Good Fiction^ the universe

While I'm still sleep-deprived and shocked from the realization that there will be no more large 12-page long physics, literature, math, etc finals for a good while now (the preceding is little more than an excuse for spamming):

Charles Li, you like Dr. Strangelove? If you hadn't already been elevated to the rank of a respectable NESer in my mind, you are now. Although your mentioning WoW almost makes up for your good taste in movies ...

 

[Thlayli]

respectable NESer

mentioning WoW

Does not compute.

 

[qoou]

Does not compute.

Heh, to each his own then; I've never actually tried WoW actually... perhaps it's not as not-good as I consider it.

Btw, while we're somewhat-not-really on the subject of good movies: does anyone on here know Akira Kurosawa, the Japanese awesome-movie-guy? Or Tarkovsky, the Russian awesome-movie-guy? Ah, I need to torrent "Ran" and watch it again... twas a very good movie.

 

[Terrance888]

I just listed random names in WWW: it is a really good place to find words to make people think you are good.

BTW, I hate WoW: It steals friends from me and it steals time from my friends.

BTW: Why do you have to wait until NOW to think I am respectable?

I don't plan on doing a 'normal' NES based on this, at least not for a long while. In retrospect I don't like some of the anomalies and the fact it clings to the real world outcomes too much. That said I don't think a NES is impossible, even at this 1985 stage, I guess it could be abstracted and simplified a bit.

Anyways, I would like to go ahead with one more era if people are interested, but not so grandiose, like maybe fitting onto one page - although I realise I keep saying that and failing

At this point I don't feel compelled to do a big list of who-owns-what. Anyone who has followed this probably has a good idea. Not much changed from last time. Qoou now has the Huraskans, Matt0088 has influence in Hygura from the Argine immigrants. Lord Iggy still has some influence in Marzhung-Sezvyr. Charles Li has the little pacific islands republics. Luckymoose has influence in north-central Africa and with the Manzuru. etc. I will post a big list if anyone wants. Actually a player influence map or something might be more appropriate.

Feel free to post ideas and plans for the future world

 

[Luckymoose]

Player influence map please!

 

[mythmonster2]

Yeah, I'd like that too. With the Zul people gone, I'm not sure if I still have some influence over Oceania.

 

[LightFang]

Oh. My. God.

Daft, I love you. I had forgotten about this, and here it comes, rising from the ashes. A beautiful map, a delicious update! Good time!

I am pleased with the Tiandishi Empire. We did pretty well, not becoming involved in a horrific decade-long war. Who needs to be at the absolute cutting edge of everything?

I am also glad that Mingdebuism is still a major religion!

I'd like a player influence map, I guess, although I already know what I control.

Finally, although I'd love a final update to round everything off, honestly this already was a pretty big finish. But if we're going to continue this on one more time, as a little "epilogue" sort of thing, I'll definitely submit orders.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Awesome update Daftpanzer! I think it's a fitting conclusion, bringing us to the equivalent of contemporary times- we can go into the future, if you like.

 

[Masada]

Double post likes double post.

/Interlude.

Lord Iggy still has some influence in Marzhung-Sezvyr

Like hell.

Planning and doing are two totally separate things. You like the second one.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

The Sezvyr ARE the northern Sarvonians Masada.

 

[KrimzonStriker]

Alright Daft!! Awesome update!! Onwards for Takaraji!! The stage is set for my next phase and resurgence! Say hello to the United Pacific Federation everyone!!

 

[Daftpanzer]

Hey thanks again!

OK I get the impression there's muted interest, but some people like Lord_Iggy and Thlayli (off-thread comments) would prefer me to revive DaftNES2 NAO.

I would like to do an epliogue type thing, touching on future technology and space stuff. It would probably be like the last part of the last update, which I wrote in a few hours. I don't want to work out and write about another world war, not in such detail anyway, that is the thing that really took me ages to finish.

Player influence map please!

I will make one at some point, I might leave it till the very end though.

Are you suggesting that forethought and discipline, as opposed to impulsiveness, by the mod can lead to better game experiences? Heresy

 

[Luckymoose]

I agree on DaftNES 2, but you should finish this one so you can say you completed one epic project!

 

[Terrance888]

Matt, do you think you can make a power point with the maps.

 

[Matt0088]

Matt, do you think you can make a power point with the maps.

Just give me a few days and I'll have one up.

Keep your dirty individualist-revisionist interpretations of history to yourself.

Does my avatar look like it cares? A few short turns using limited stats is a good way to ready yourself for DaftNES2. It also allows you to road-testing rules with limited players in a world which with nukes should be fairly static.

We don't even have a half decent ideological divide which I was about to exploit. Dirty selfish individualists.

Yes. Making an impulsive decision to do something which you wouldn't otherwise do.
