IOT: The Next Step Sign-Ups

[Arrow Gamer]

Claims of the United States of America:

Government: Monarchy (Ruled by Justin Jackson)

Bio: After the WW6, the United States came under the unimaginably incompetent rule of Joseph Crest, and the Union fell apart. The entire west seceded, with California forming its own empire. Washington managed to retain power in the east, but it was necessary to establish a dictatorship. This slowly evolved into a monarchy ruled by a sucession of great rulers. They mangaged to hold the kingdom togther, and slowly turn their attention to the outside world. They are considered a middling power, mostly due to internal strife and such. They hope to reclaim all of the continental U.S., and afterwards turn their sights further abroad.

OOC: I have a feeling my claims are way too big. Yo can cut out much of the south (the Old Confederacy) out, if needed.

Dark orange are essential core lands.
Medium orange are historical core lands, preferably about half of these lands.
Light orange are influential lands, which may be included if for filling space.

 

[filli_noctus]

Indonesian clains are as much of Indonesia and the surrounding area is appropriate for whatever you eventually decide my power level to be.

 

[christos200]

I want to give you small power to be honest-- fits your... frenetic play style.

But I do not want wars. I want to focus more on space colonization.

I am fairly certain you can build yourself up and become a great power (don't quote me on that...) and I think small powers will be able to colonize, just not as quickly as medium/great powers.

 

[christos200]

Yes, but the thing is, that I do not want either expansion or war. I wanted to be a Great Power because I want to focus on colonization.

 

[Tyo]

Indeed, but you must realize that great powers are reserved for players I am sure are stable enough to do what needs to be done. Your play style, as observed in many an IOT, has never rubbed off as stable. If I hand you GP status, I may as well give it to everyone.

That said, I'm not letting any more GP's/MP's in until we get more SP's. we're having a bit too few of them.

 

[christos200]

Then I will probably not join. My only reason to join was the space colonization. If i wanted a War IOT or Industry IOT, I can play IOT X or MPIII.

You can still colonize, it will just take you longer...

 

[christos200]

That's why i want to be a Great Power, dammit! How many times do I need to say it? i do not want first to expand, then built my industry, then start reaserch and other bull. I want to start colonization at the start of the agme. that's why I joined as a Great Power in the first place.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

I think christos should get a great power. I don't see why not.

 

[Patchy]

So when does the game start?

 

[Tyo]

And who said you had to get what you wanted? I said that you nominate yourself for something, and I will make the choice with your chosen power considered. I didn't make this game so anyone can be a great power. I made it so people I know can manage the difficult things can do just that. So people more politically inclined but not neccessarily apt to hard management can play as more politically inclined nations. So those with more flexible natures can go and do what they want with their nations without domestic issue. I based the powers on specific people who I know play differently from everyone else. As Great Power starts, I expect players to be able to manage efficiently as leaders of the world. After that, the game can evolve in any way.

There's also the issue that medium and great powers are suppose to be outnumbered by small powers. Only by my desgression it is that the numbers of great powers, medium powers, and small powers aren't skewed to hell.

One last thing is like to say on the matter:
There is a rule saying don't whine about what I give you. You may try to convince me that you're up for a bigger job, but being a baby and threatening to leave over not getting what you want does not make me want you here more.

Anyway.

@patchy:

I'mma give the sign ups another three-five days. I'd rather not have to fill the map in with sons of NPCs and we only have like 15 players at the moment.

 

[christos200]

Can I at least get a medium power.

 

[BSmith1068]

I updated my opening post with claim map as I would have done it at the time. This conflicts with a couple of other claims. I am open to giving the Swahili their first and second tier claims that overlap, as well as Scandinavia their West African holdings that overlap, but I am not willing to cede my core provinces to anyone.

 

[KaiserElectric]

I would like to play as a nation situated around Britain, but considering the obscene amount of land that Scandinavia has claimed, not sure how that would work...

Otherwise, I'll take Japan.

I am willing to surrender my claims to England/Wales

 

[Optical]

Considering joining as a Small Power in Morocco.

 

[Tyo]

I'm going to ave to cancel this due to lack of interest. Most of the world is completely blank and I really wasn't planning on working many NPCs. Sorry. I'll do this again when I think there will be more interest.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

Your lack of interest or ours? I was plenty interested </3
