I just got off restriction and i have some bad news.
I've been thinking.
That line is usually bad sign just in saying it. Anyways, my thinking and certain events at school and home have led me to one conclusion. To close RTOR NES 2.
I've weighed the pros and cons of closing it and there are unfortunately more pros than cons. Weighed against my earlier statements of RTOR being immortal and how i would continue it as long as possible are the below facts:
1. I'm tired. I just plain tired of this NES. I've updated god knows how many times for over half a year. Before I got on restriction, as some of you know, it was taking me more than an hour to update. That's just too much. I'm also tired of explaining, complaining, and some flaiming (it kinda rhymes!). It just isnt the way i want to spend the majority of my afternoon and evening anymore.
2. I have 3 research projects going on for 3 different subjects at school. This will take hours of my time.
3. I want to spend more time playing Civ3 and writing stories about them. I have been inspired by the Realms Beyond people and their exploits. Check it out here: http://realmsbeyond.net/civ/
4. I'm tired of certain things about civfanatics, and i want to minimize my activity here.
5. My girlfriend told me to. This is a bigger reason than some of you may think. It wasnt the main reason though.
6. I found a new hobby. Some people call it fencing, I call sticking pointy objects into other people. (I like my name better) I was able to beat the local champ (i've only been doing this for a week) so i am assuming i have some talent. (this is florida, we have everything from fencing to surfing)
I have a possible new system in the works that may save me time when this is eventually reopened. If i can figure out how to make it work, I promise this will be my highest priority. For now though, I will be hanging around Realms Beyond and Apolyton working on stories and reports of my civ3 games, I'd appreciate it if you'd check them out.
I have 2 requests of all of you. First, I ask that none of you attempt to carry on RTOR 2 as it would just not be right. Second, I hope that a few of youwill carry on with your RTOR tales and stories and possibly write new ones of different civilizations you may not have played. THis way, even if I don't reopen it like i plan for the undeterminable future, it will still remain immortal through the tales of it.
That's all I have to say about that.

wow, this thing closed? i've been curious for a while... does anyone know if this is the LONGEST thread in the whole CFC forums?
or are there others that are longer?
i havent been able to find a longer one yet (i admit i didnt do much searching).
i thought of asking the people in OT, they'd proly know, but it might attract the attention of some 'server space' zealot mod and they'd delete it. (unlikely, but you never know)

I think there was a longer thread in OT, but this is the longest thread in recent history as they have been putting a 300 post cap on all OT threads. Later on, I might do a detailed report on the history of RTORNES2. If I have even more free time, I will write a world history (should be extremely long ).
Also, I will reserve Egypt again if this ever gets going again.

-global events-
Germany falls to combined French and Russian forces. It has been split up and annexed. Portugal has also fallen to a French blitzkrieg.
English Scandinavia has joined Iceland and formed a New Viking Empire under the codes of Nostradamism.
American War ends with Iriquois and Aztec victory gaining the Iriquois massive amounts of land in the north and the Aztecs Louisiana.
Quick Egyptian-Arab War fought and ends in Arab victory gaining them full control of the Middle East and its precious oil.
Colonization blitz occurs in Africa as territories left in ruins by the plague have been resettled by several Europeon and American nations. A similar thing also occured in the East as nations, mostly Korea and the Aborigine Empire move in to uncontrolled regions.
The plague has gone through Asia in a flash compared to other nations, leaving much of the land in ruins and the Asian nations rebuilding. The BN1 plague has ended.

I've basically cleared everyone's slate. Alliances can be reforged, but now everyone can make new alliances, carry out old or new policies or whatever. Let's start it up.

One last thing as to set the flavor.
Don't try to justify wars with righteous sounding reasons. Yjis is a time of pure conquest, the Age of Reason is over and this is a time for wars. Think of it as a Modern Middle Ages.
