IOT Forum Rules
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.
In the beginning, the world was without war. Then, Son created the Earth. And to populate this land, he created people, known as IOTers. These IOTers, using laws given to them by the almighty Son, created empires and nations, and began to fight amongst each other for control of the Earth. The greatest of these early empires were the French, Mexican, Siberian, Congolese, and Chinese. But they would not last. They crumbled and fell because of internal weakness and the worldwide fighting. Son turned his back on the world he created, and for a while men lived in ignorance, in a time known as the Dark Ages.
It was not long however. Son returned to his Earth and restored knowledge and thought amongst the peoples there. They then used this knowledge to create empires like the ones in the past, and once again started the war to control Earth. But this time, they would have to face true evil. Historians argue where he came from, some say he was cast down from Heaven, some say he was the great Son, but what is known that the man known as Sturm of the Black Hole conquered much of the world. Soon, Europe and Africa became the only places untouched by it. Freetown of Europe, Chad of Africa, the leaders of their continents began to fight against this evil new foe. But the Black Hole was too strong, and as they began to fall, the world was wiped clean. Some say it was because of instability due to the Black Hole’s conquests, some say it was Son himself who ended the fight.
Since then, minor nations have come about and fell, without much glory. Now, it seems that Son has turned his back on the world he created. So thus, a new Host rises up to take his place, and to oversee the violent wars to come. It is the dawn of a new era, and now world is ready.
Can you lead a nation to stand the test of time, unite the world, and finish the war started so long ago?
