In IOT Revoolution, someone (Name withheld) thought it would be funny if created a nation called Batmanistan, and have lame Batman jokes rifled in. Then other people took the notion to make their own joke nations (Nation of X, DB Corp, etc). Some people thought it was funny, others like me wanted them to make real nations or kick them. The mod decidied that he was okay with the joke nations, so I quit the game. I'm not sure if anyone else in my camp also quit, either. Batmanistan just ruined the game for me.

I think you take IOT way too seriously...

 

[Abaddon]

Agreed. If you want serious, go an NES.

What's wrong with taking this seriously? I want to take this game seriously, especially with all the work tailless as put into this.

 

[Zack]

What's wrong with taking this seriously?

Nothing. I said "way too seriously".

The GM said the joke nations were okay. Therefore, there was no problem with the joke nations. If the GM had said to cut it out with the joke nations, then it wouldn't be okay.

Simple as that IMO.

 

[Lighthearter]

I agree with Zack.

Anyway, I'll prolly supply details later, but set me up as the Kingdom of Hawaii with a very light green, almost white.

Good thing this is a serious one then, eh?

iscover nukes first (assuming they will be included if the game stretches on that far).

Africa is closed to colonization for the present. Please try again later. But seriously, if you want part of India feel free.

 

[ZeletDude]

You cannot "close" Africa for colonization..

 

[Aiolos]

You cannot "close" Africa for colonization..

More RP than anything, I'm a nation of slaves, I dont like colonies. I dont think he really wants a long, drawn out war anyway. Does Germany have colonial desires in Africa as well?

 

[ZeletDude]

Yes we do, though nothing too close to the Congo....

 

[civplayah]

The Horn of Africa

National Goals: Become a world power in Africa.

 

[Aiolos]

Yes we do, though nothing too close to the Congo....

Keep it to the north then please. We can talk more in depth when the game starts.

 

[arya126]

I wasnt planning on anything in central or southern. Just the north for now, unless we are antagonized. But we will try and avoid war if we can. We hope this response satisfies you.

Also, I ask that all European powers sign a treaty that limits any warfare between the nations of Europe to colonial wars. Any warfare that affects the land of mainland Europe would not be beneficial to ANYONE.
