IOT Developmental Thread
- Thread starter Joecoolyo
- Start date
Well, I don't know if that will be a problem or not.
I was thinking we were just going to go with universal European tech for all nations (unless someone actually wants to play someone who isn't up to that tech) since they're all player created.
EDIT: cross-post with Zelet: I don't think we are. It takes all the fun out of IOT

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
sounds fair, but since ill be a city state, ill need to start off horribly on purpose. unless you dotn want that to happen. in the 1400s or 1500s, Constantinople was in bad shape.
i had the entire country Bio ready for the 1453 AD start...
Really, It doesn't matter since we're not having pre-fab countries/historical borders.
Actually, I think I'll call another vote:
Historical borders, YES OR NO?
Advantages of historical borders:
- A more historically accurate experience.
Disadvantages of historical borders:
- Ruins the feel and premise of IOT, which allows you to create your own countries.
- Restrict what we can do in terms of tech level, economy, combat etc.
- Different players start at different levels. It's fine for people who take large advanced countries like Ming, France, England, Castile, Ottomans, but what about those who post later and get weaker countries?
It's a NO from me.

A yes from me. Why? Well, when you try to find out how to tell the GM where to expand without using a map, you'll know why.

I vote later than 1500 for the starting date and I vote a strong NO about pre-fab borders.

Call in the mods if you like. I'm responding to this.
Omega- Actually, as far as I'm concerned, you guys are now officially discussing a new IOT game, and we're discussing the official one.
@Omega- Since your making a spinoff anyway (according to them), you can do whatcha want, though I'm not sure if that's Medieval or Modern.
Domination3000- I only was telling some people not to join if I was banned FOR NO REASON! If I was banned for breaking the rules, I would not do such a thing. For instance, if Omega bans me from IOT V, for a good reason, I'll accept it. If there's no reason whatsoever, I'll do the same thing I did here.
Also, you cannot ban anyone, as the game hasn't started, therefore, IOT is no longer here.
Mad Man- Oh Please!
1. He even GMed a game.
2. It was one freaking post! For fun! Yes, he did some stupid things with John Kerry in IOT IV/IOT II, but he did it one time and didn't pretend it affected anything. It was more humorous then real powergaming (Please don't do it again though, its only funny once.)
Yeah, ban whoever you like, without cause. I'll still be joining IOT V, you guys can have your nonsense spinoff.

1453. and for pre fab countries, im gonna say no. i can create the Byzantine city state anyways. what i really dont want is to be destroyed instantly by a particularly large ottoman empire. sorry, but being destroyed in a single turn isnt fun, espically when i wanted the chance to exist for a while.

The bolded part should be changed to "Hold an army of 20 Million and conquer the Ottomans."
And usually,that's what he says. Why isn't he banned too?
