IOT Developmental Thread

You know, there may not be specifically against a rule for something, but if someone you invited in is parading around in your living room calling people :):):):):):):):):):)s on his cell phone, and occasionally you, you're gonna kick him out.

Can you undemocratically make banning only doable by the GM (If anyone, just, no athenian democracy) as well?

I also like the War By Story Idea. I support you!

That is already voted on. I don't need to change it.

@Zack Go stuff it. We've been debating for weeks now. We now need to act, just like Jefferson needed to write.

@Cull I'm getting as much players as many whom want to join. I'll have a sig link, but that's it for adverts.

Wow...

I didn't know it was clear to some people. But this thread seems to be mob rule. I support your decision to take action. I hope you decide to let people create their own countries, but you can do what you like I suppose.

PS: Its still Renaissance Right?
 
Yep. (Sadly) The people voted for Ren., so I plan to keep it,

@Math This isn`t a bribe, but I plan to start this in 145...3. Byzantium will still have a chace, abliet small.

@Double A and others whom hate Dommy. This doesn't have immunity. If he's a problem in my game, I'll kick him out. But not until then. He deserves the second change you don't want to give.

He's already had like EIGHT second chances.

A serial arsonist won't reform if you tell him eight times pretty please with sugar on top.
 
You know what - Omega, if you want to run your own IOT then go ahead, I hope you have fun(that's not sarcasm, I seriously hope you have fun) and all power to you. Just please don't call it IOT V because that's what we're developing here. Enjoy yourselves and I might even play, but I think I'm just going to propose myself as a candidate for moderating the "official" IOTV. Check the Realpolitik link in my sig for my bona fides.:)

Anywho, let's get back to what we were doing and let Omega do his own thing as long as he has fun. This conversational path we're currently on will get us nowhere because no one will back down or be swayed and there aren't any neutrals to convince.

So what's the point of this arguing, really?:confused::p

I'll make only IOT VI, not V, if, and only if, you can provide me a finished and posted by the 24th hour of my version done, or mine will be V, and yours VI. Good luck, and may God be with you.

(We were at first arguing if Dom should be kicked out, then we did if I should mod the next game)
 
ALRIGHT THIS IS INSANE. I AM NOT LETTING THIS THREAD TURN INTO AN IOT NIGHTMARE OF SPAM AND 100 PAGES A NIGHT.

ANYBODY WHO POSTS AFTER THIS POST WILL NOT BE ALLOWED JOIN THE NEXT GAME. I WILL RE-ALLOW POSTING ONCE I FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE AND WHO I'M GOING TO NEED TO BAN FROM THE NEXT GAME.

Seriously guys, I thought we were over this (10 pages?????). But it seems as though I'm going to have to put my foot down now before it's too late.
 
Due to either discussing things I specifically said not to, flaming other members, or just spamming up the thread, the following people will not be welcome in the next iteration of IOT:

-Omega (discussing games outside of IOT, almost saved by this post , but then went on to spam some more)
-Domination3000 (I didn't want to have to do this, seeing as you were the defender in this, but your eventual rage, and telling people not to play this version force me to have to do this)
-Mad Man (this post was uncalled for)

You are still welcome to post in this thread, but you will not be allowed to join the next game after what I've seen you do in the last 10 pages, and after all the warning's I've given. Just be lucky I'm not calling in the moderators to hand out infractions, though if you continue with this nonsense I won't hesitate to do so.

Some of you guys are this close to joining the people above, so I recommend not doing what you did in the last 10 pages.

Now, to go back to what was supposed to be discussed.

I think we should go with the HOI2 map, I want to say EUIII, but I think it's too heavily weighted towards Europe and the ROTW gets kinda left out.

(posting is re-allowed btw, I'm caught up)
 
may i make a suggestion? since the game will start in the Renaissance, i want it to take place in 1453. the renaissance will happen anyway, but i want the chance to be Byzantium. i like heroic last stands, but if no one wants to destroy me, ill be a city state like Singapore. but with a horrible start. ( i know enough about Byzantium by this point to make it convincing)

you may notice i tried the same thing in IOT4, but got pressured to expand.

Thank you, I was going to say so.

I'd like it if territories were designed so that each territory had around an equal usefulness. For example, Arctic provinces and provinces in the Sahara would be much larger than provinces in, say, Europe.

A good idea, actually. We can dispense with a province value system if that's the case.

The above quote is meta-Gaming. You should not declare war because he was a war monger in the past.

I say this goes in the Etiquette.

This game is based on the Renaissance, the reason there was no world wars before WW1 was because there was no defensive pacts before that.

Which is why I said diplomatic actions should cost money so we can restrict the formation of defensive pacts.

On a different topic, I'd suggest group owners delete (is that possible?) there groups when they have outlived there usefulness (eg. the group disbands or IOT is over). Might help with the forums.

As I repeatedly said, as a proponent of the EU3 map ( ;) ) I would take the EUIII map and change the borders around a bit.

Now, with Joecoolyo's permission (as he is the de facto GM) I'd like to take the initiative and actually start to write up the rule and post it here, and you guys can comment and vote on it. I'll post a map, too, based on MathNerd's idea (see above). I'll base it on the HoI2 map, since that's what most people seem to want.

I don't think we're going to bother with historical borders anyway (are we?) In that case it doesn't really matter if the game starts in 1400 or 1453 or 1500.

On second thoughts, I think 1400 might be a good starting date.

Sounds good to me. If you fiddled with the map I wouldn't mind changing my vote :D

Once again, sounds good, have fun :goodjob:

EDIT: As for the date, I could care less, since we're making up the countries. Though I'm more inclined to something even (like 1400 or 1500) just because it's nice and clean :)
 
Can we make it a little later. Maybe 1550 or 1600 so we can have some people in the Americas that aren't Indians. I've deciede I really like playing as an American nation, but don't want to be really far behind.
