IOT Organisational and Discussion Thread

Also, to be noted, mosher is literally hitler.
 
Here's a new OP.

Imperium Offtopicum
Organisational & Discussion Thread​

Imperium Offtopicum is often defined as "an empire-building game" that spawned from the Altered Maps threads. It has had many, many variations, but generally speaking: you create or take over a nation of your choice, you expand a little at a time, you can engage in war and diplomacy and conquer the world, and the overall goal is fun.

Memorable games: YoshIOT, Sons of Mars III, MIOT, Peshawar Lancers, SonRISK, Fiat Lux, Second American Revolution

Spoiler :


Fifth Generation
IOT gains momentum, longer-lasting games, games vary greatly in style and complexity, from Mini-IOTs to Iron and Blood. Games dominated by Sonereal and Taniciusfox, while some formerly active players from the 1st-4th generations disappeared from the scene.
Memorable games: IOTVII, Mini-IOT Eastern Asia, SonIOT, Land Ho!, Imperium Mobiana, Red Alert IOT, Iron and Blood, sons of Mars II

Spoiler :


Second Generation (Classic IOT)
Early experimentation with rules and game mechanics, early spin-offs



First Generation (Classic IOT)
Free-for-all games with little rules or structure

 
Possibly add IOT Awards and IOT Map Thread as well, when I feel like it. Also didn't bother filling in all the past games, that will take a lot of time whenever someone gets around to it.
 
If and when you do, The Aftermath is suspended, not ended. Possibly also MPR.
 
Because it was too short in its own time, and the Multipolarity series still needs a proper fix. :mischief:
 
Bowsling, ChristosIOT I has officialy ended. I have declared the Winners and posted the final update. It managed to last 17 Turns.
 
Good to know its not dead :love:

I was told MPR wasn't without its share of mechanical drawbacks either by the players who stayed in longer than I... :p

Amended in-game?
