While We Wait: Part 4

[North King]

Do you honestly want to write two updates? Joking aside, I'd say let the moderator moderate what he wants, and if players don't like it, they won't join, and said moderator will have to find a different style. It's essentially a free market.

It's just a suggestion, and yes, that disadvantage of it did occur to me.

 

[Thlayli]

The community requests and requires NES2 VII, or AFSNES II/Ib, or even NES3 I? Official protests can and will be made.

But I, for one, want to see what happens to the Hellenic Mediterranean after a couple centuries.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I'd like to continue AFSNES... it's only recently that I recovered Eldsland, there is a whole world awaiting us!

 

[North King]

Ugh, early discoveries of the New World? das would be better off restarting it, then.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

It's already around the time that the Norse first arrived in the New World, (2 centuries away or so). At any rate, I currently have no reasons to expand until I have complete control of Eldsland itself.

 

[alex994]

AFSNES should burn. (Anyone can easily guess why I say that )

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Cry us a river- maybe a river or two flowing through a certain Turkic group of East Asian countries.

 

[~Darkening~]

I support AFSNES for the simple reason that alex hates .

 

[Supermath]

I support that Das clones himself twice and starts AFSNES Ib, NES2 VII and NES3 I.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

I support that Das actually starts a NES again.

Have you ever felt a disconnect with forum formatting when you're disconnected?
Ever felt annoyed that you can't just press the preview button with your tagged text?
Maybe you don't put tags, and just place them when you're online and a-editing?

If you answered "yes" to any or even all of these questions, be troubled no longer, because KyrSoft's Offline BBcode Editor (Java) might* be of help!

* I can't test it here. I also found this but it's a ".ahk" file which I can't run without getting more stuff.

Working on it, in case you haven't noticed.

Your purging efforts have failed. For the last bloody time, get a better piece of software, or at least a damn antivirus and spyware program.

At any rate, I currently have no reasons to expand until I have complete control of Eldsland itself.

And given the nature of Iceland, precious little opportunity to do so...

Well give it another thousand years and he'll be able to reap all kinds of dividends genetic technology and low cost server farming

 

[Symphony D.]

And still have lots of trouble with top-soil erosion and the resulting finicky agriculture keeping population really low!

 

[Angst]

Just to notice everyone, I will be online in the #nes chatroom whenever possible (That is, when I'm using the internet at all times), and even when I'm away from the computer. The reason is that I think the channel should be normally used. I will also be logged on while I play games of any sort, am doing homework. SO I will therefore be present, but it's not always possible that I'll be answering anybody, as I'm normally busy with other stuff.

And I suggest that other people should do likewise.

On another topic, we should, yes, make a NES 3. With updated rulesets. Preferably the rules should look like the NES 2 ruleset, but with the flavs fixed.

So, nothing at all like the NES2 rules at all then?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "flaws," but the NES2 system, with its prepackaged divisions, effectively unimportant domestic benefits and supplementary statistics (population, infrastructure, etc), and linear economies, is pretty much always going to boil down to producing wars where the person with the most territory (and thus the biggest economy most of the time) wins the day, because that's what it's built to do. To me, that's a pretty huge flaw in and of itself, because it means there's only one really fulfilling way to play.

If you want to step away from that, you have to step (quite far) away from those rules.

 

[Abaddon]

The better rule sets are those that are made specifically for the NES and the era, I think a "generic" rule set leaves to many gaps and creates to many problems so far as balance and reality

Agreed, I wrote my ruleset aiming for a specific period of history, assuming the existence of certain institutions and principles.
