IOT Organisational and Discussion Thread

[Ailedhoo]

We need to one day set up a cyberpunk IOT with territories set in a city one day.

I personally would love to see a IOT set in the British Isles, maybe on trying to set up order after a chaotic event, with counties having different effects on whether they are of a city, town, urban rural, rural, etch...

 

[Krzowwh]

Well, personally on that note, I would like an IOT where players are different cultures/religions, trying to win control over nations.

 

[mechaerik]

@Ailedhoo: There's a British Isles map, but its not that detailed.

 

[kiwitt]

Well, personally on that note, I would like an IOT where players are different cultures/religions, trying to win control over nations.

That was something we were trying in our Iron and Blood 2 development group, but it was just a bit too complicated.

 

[SouthernKing]

Since this forum used to be part of Forum Games, I feel that it should be acceptable to post this here.
a new EPYC has been started, and it's looking for a larger playerbase.

 

[Tee Kay]

I am looking for a volunteer to take over the tracking of IOT games.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Im up for the job TK

 

[Tee Kay]

You better post a new thread though.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Okay, Its gonna be sad destroying this one, but meh.

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.

IOT Etiquette

1. Do not flame, troll, or personally insult any other player. You may comment on their actions negatively if they are behaving badly, but don't take it further than that.

2. Stay on topic. Make sure all comments are relevant to the fictional world of the current IOT and have nothing to do with your personal religious/political beliefs.

3. The Game Thread is not a chat room. If a conversation is only relevant to a few players, then discuss it with those players themselves. Use Social Groups or visitor/private messaging to discuss diplomatic issues. Don’t spam.

4. No powergaming. By definition, powergaming is making your country surpass every other country by all terms including armed forces, technology, etc.

6. The GM is supreme. He reserves the right to change game rules, ignore or modify orders, impose restrictions on players, disband player nations, and so on.

7. Above all else, RESPECT THY FELLOW FORUMERS.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Reserved.

 

[Mosher]

This OP gets the Mosher seal of approval.

 

[Red_Spy]

Same.

And also, it's Imperium Podcastium.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Whatever happened to Imperium Podcastium? It needs it's reincarnation.

 

[Robert Can't]

They said something about top men working on it...

 

[Double A]

I think that's mech's euphemism for watching MLP.

 

[CivOasis]

IE's dead. Mainly because I don't feel like reviving a 10+ week-old, rather unpopular IOT.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I have been thinking of creating a game. As you can see its still under construction in the idea stage but I will need to plan of how to set a map. Its all in consideration.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Aildehoo, we have a new IOT org. and dis. thread
