So when's the game starting?

Also, Nedim, you know the Saudi liberals probably want to follow the example of Turkey, not Soviet Russia, right?

Gee, I thought they would be more interested in advancing along the path of the Jordanian model, with a constitutional monarchy. The best of both worlds.

 

[Double A]

Or that.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

No, I will follow the example of the Netherlands.

 

[Sonereal]

Be quiet for eight turns and then reveal you're the most powerful nation on earth?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Yes......and legalize weed.

 

[Mosher]

Mostly just the legalize weed part.

Wait, if I am Syrian/Lebanese Christians, do I have to serve Christian purposes only, or do I just represent the group of people, such as the Assyrians or Maronites?

I'm going to be rather busy this week. I will delay starting this until next weekend. Sorry, guys.

Aren't Maronites by definition Christian?

OK, well have fun with the game if it ever starts. I withdraw.

 

[GhostWriter16]

Can I still play?

 

[Darkfeather]

I'd like to claim Sudan, if you still can claim nations.

 

[Bowsling]

Yes to both.

 

[GhostWriter16]

What nations are still open?

 

[Double A]

No nations are open to people who ask that question.

The Procedure of the Game:

As I have said before, this game is entirely RP-based. There are no provinces, no armies, no turns, no economics, no stats at all. You play as a leader, whether it is of a party, rebellion, or legitimate government, and only as that. There is no micromanagement: you have lackeys (me) for that. The game is what you make of it: somebody that actively posts RP will have a much more enjoyable and engaging game than someone who just sits around and lurks. The range is broad: if you RP about starting a state-owned Marmite importer, you may receive events centred around that Marmite importer.

Don't take your position for granted either. Rebels and rival parties seek to dethrone you at every turn. Minor things can initiate large protests. Large protests may even start on their own. The map only shows the Middle East, but you are still free to interact with NPCs off the map, and those interactions can be bad - especially if you are Iran or Georgia. If you lose control of your government, you will revert to a rebel. Under no circumstances will anybody switch once the game has started!

A few guidelines (rules) to remember when you play:

- You are expected to know your position in detail. Don't powergame. Yemen can't into space.
- Don't bring out-of-game biases to this game. Treat your neighbour as a reactionary, highly religious head of a state that publicly beheads people and is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, not as your best bud.
- Don't post dumb stuff, and be sensible. Be VERY sensible. We are dealing with existing religions, states, and peoples. This post crossed the line. I ignored it, since it was just a signup. Stuff like that will be dealt with severely once the game starts.
- Have fun!
