While We Wait: Part 3

You know what? **** you, thats what! Just because I am an incompetent mod that takes weeks to update and another week to do stats doesn't mean you can mock it! Does your Nes have 73 pages? What? No? Does your nes just about have all available nations taken? No? Wow. Wait, what's this? You had a nes? That no one joined? I'm sorry, did I strike a cord?

Woah: Nukey, man. THat was harsh. It was simply the stuff carmen tells me. And besides, I have no interest in making an NES.

And the only reason all your countries are taken is because you have what, 6 of them?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
30 or 40... Not bad, but you have 200+ Therefore, yours is a little more complex.

On a brighter note, congrats Nukey.

That must be one heck of an NES to have 30+ players. (I didn't even know there were that many on the forum.)

You're really asking for it. Nukey man? man? MAN? MAN?

Pistols. At Dawn.
 
OMG! Sorry for the spam, but the pistols thing is really funny. I'm even changing my signature to it.

Nuke Kid: Like the Signature? Didn't think so.

That's it. You die.

At last! I have been siggied!, but please put the whole post in :)
 
Guys, seriously. Enough with the personal attacks. You don't have to like everyone, but at least be civil. It is rather easy to NOT click that quick reply button, or just make a sarcastic joking comment, and not say something that either gets censored or is a flame.

To put it out there, # of countries does NOT make a NES more complex. That's the first thing. FarowNES2 had very few nations (comparatively), and was very successful either way. Other nations with HUNDREDS of nations have failed miserably. As well, time it takes to do an update doesn't matter. Quality over Quantity. I would rather (except in some cases, like 1936) a very good update take ages (Thlayli, Iggy, Jalapeno) than mediocre quick updates that take an hour.
 
So in other news, I get to be the cartographer for DLNES.

I have a map. I just need to put cities on it. What criteria do you guys use to put cities on? Is it, like, cultural centers, cities over X population, or what? Would there happen to be a handy map of the world on the eve of World War II or a timeframe rather similar where I could just transfer the dots onto the NESing map?
 
Thank you all for the vote of confidence, but the success of BirdNES 1 was primarily due to the dedication of the players and their willingness to put up with a constantly changing set of rules.

:hatsoff: to the players who keep things interesting.


Oh and here is a bit about King Ryan. :D

BirdNES 1: Update 7 said:
Spring 1530

Madrid:
King Ryan was obsessed with two things: Jerusalem and his daughter’s wedding. At the moment he was focused on Jerusalem. He would hold that city. He would take the war to the enemy. He would slay those who opposed his will. Before the summer heat set in, the city’s defenses were improved and then 15 divisions headed south towards Egypt. 10 would remain behind.

Judea: Early 1531
The advancing Turkish divisions stopped at Bethlehem when they heard the news that the Poles were defending Jerusalem. The Safavid army had no such qualms. Their magnificent cavalry stormed across the desert and swept the northern suburbs clean of Christians and driving the Poles into the city. A city already overcrowded with troops and woefully short on supplies. The life line to the Jaffa had to be preserved and hiding behind city walls would not help.

With most of the Spanish divisions in Gaza holding back the jihadists, it fell to the Poles to keep the supply lines open and they were badly outnumbered. When the Turks overcame their reluctance to fight the Poles, it just got worse. As spring turned to summer heat, the Spaniards were forced to return to the city or lose all connection to Jaffa. In this war of attrition the Muslims had men to spare and by July all knew that unless reinforcements arrived, Jerusalem would fall once more to Allah. No help came. The Poles surrendered to the General Tahmasp and the shah’s son who was in the field learning the art of war. Stripped of their arms, they were marched north to learn mining skills in the bleak mountains of central Persia. In stubbornness the Spanish held out another week and then foolishly submitted to the troops of the Islamic Empire. The rumors told tales of slow and painful death along the shores of the Dead Sea. In any case none were ever heard from again.

A Royal Wedding
In 1533 King Ryan of Spain sailed from Cadiz with a grand entourage of nobles and priests and his daughter who was promised to a Prince of the Blood among the Aztecs. The King, his wife and daughter, 100 priests and church leaders and 50 nobles made the trip along with assorted hangers-on and guards. In early 1534 they returned. Or more truthfully, some of them returned. Nothing was what they had expected. The ocean voyage was long and grueling. Hispaniola was lush and green and too primitive after the seemingly endless waves. The land of the Mexica was vast and far larger than they dreamed. The smoking mountains were immense and ominous. Tenochtitlan was a wonder; a city beyond anything in Europe. It was huge and beautiful and clean and built in the middle of a lake. The giant pyramids of Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc dominated the city.

King Ryan was in the city for a month before the weddings took place. The pale beauty of Madrid married the tall bronzed Aztec, first in a Christian ceremony in the great plaza as the Aztec priests looked down from atop the temples. The second ceremony was almost casual in a spacious courtyard of the palace. The bride and groom made their escape while the Spaniards were escorted back onto the plaza. It was then that the bloodletting began. Priests and nobles and royals were separated and the guards bullied away by armed soldiers in quilted cotton and steel cuirasses. A crowd gathered all around. The priests went first. One by one they were dragged up the temple of Huitzilopochtli, stripped and stretched across the altar and their living hearts cut cleanly from their chests. Limp and bloody the bodies were rolled down the steep steps unceremoniously.

The Spanish nobles watched in abject terror and anticipation of their fate, but it was the King and his two male cousins that went next. The women were left alone. Shortly thereafter, with a bit more ceremony King Ryan’s body was carried down and delivered to the nobles who in total shock received it. And then it was over. Pale as death the lords returned to their quarters. The crowd departed and in two days the Spaniards were headed back to the coast laden with gifts and treasures and the body of their now dead king packed in salt.
 
I know I'm going to sound like an idiot, but who's this King Ryan figure that people vaguely mention?

what was that for?

Nuclear Kid played Spain in BirdNES 1 and played it wildly OOC. One of his kings, King Ryan, was particularly obnoxious. Much to the relief of everyone else playing, King Ryan met an untimely end in Mexico. It was one of the most fun updates to write. ;)
 
Oh, yes. I liked reading that update.

It sort of reminds me of King Leopold and the invasion of China attempted in Josef's NES. That was a fun update to read, too. It made me laugh out loud.

And doomed Spain to mediocrity, something it would never be able to recover from :p

@Lightfang, I actually suggested to him that he invade China; I never thought he would actually go and do it... Need to work on my sarcasm better! >_<
