While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

[Starlife]

What are my relations with other countries at this point?

And, can someone give me example "orders" from previous similar NES that I can look at?

If you want to see example orders, this is a good place to start.

Hey, Starlife, if you are interested in a Simple NES, why not join EQ's BOTWAWKI? the Tri-state area could hold a FEW more people

 

[Terrance888]

Oh gawd. Trying for (un)realistic population density?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I need a FEW more people to eventually subsume as Clients!

Long island is pretty, this time of the Apocalypse!

from BirdNES:


Nation
Turn: 1,2, etc

Goals: 1-3 major goals you have for the turn. These should be the most important things that you want to accomplish in one sentence or less for each.

Spending: List the items/actions you are spending money on/for
• 5000 for troops
• 1000 to bribe the leaders of faction X
• 3000 paid to House of Lee to retire debt
• 2000 to improve government practices
• 500 for the assassination of John Lee

Actions: List your various orders that will enable you to reach your goals. 1-5 sentences for each should be sufficient in most cases. This tells me the how, the why and the what of your efforts. The spending list above is for updating stats; this section is for determining outcomes. Be thoughtful here. You must include a year when the action is to begin or take place. Without a year there is a 50% the activity will not take place at all, but you will have spent the money anyway.

Anything else you want to include.

Birdjaguar's NES is called BirdNES... my NESes are called LINES (Lord_Iggy Never Ending Story).

Most moderators have a system like that, either using shortened names or initials.

DERP I should have gotten that lol

I'm still picking up some of the lingo lol

It's BirdNES because his name is BirdJaguar.

 

[spryllino]

Specifically, Starlife, look at the last page of the thread carmen pointed you to. It has some DaNES orders on it, and DaNES and PerfNES have very similar rulesets.

Can I keep my name Tales from the Ether? SLNES, or SNES or StarNES... they all sound like Nintendo video game systems.

 

[North King]

There's no rule on naming, it's just a silly convention.

 

[SKILORD]

SNES

I know I don't moderate games anymore, but don't go thinking that means I won't sue for copyright infringement.

((Also, all the SNESes were disasters, the moderation was terrible, it's not like it's a legacy you want to invoke anyways.))

I like tales from the ether better as a name anyways.

 

[North King]

I don't think you have the copyright on that particular acronym.

SLNES1: Tales from the Ether


Would be IMHO the "correct" titling of your NES. But as North said, people can do it however they wish!

 

[SKILORD]

Sure, until they quit appealing. I've been caught up in litigation for years, it is not easy to get on the supreme court's docket.

I'm persistent though.

 

[Freemanuncg]

Is necromancy generally frowned upon?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Yes, unless you have a very good reason and a substantial new contribution.

 

[Starlife]

But Freemanuncg does have The Count as his avatar. That has to give him necromancy points or count as a contribution.
