While We Wait: Part 5

[Ninja Dude]

That may change with the next update, but the most urgent vacancies at this exact moment in time are Hu'ut (assuming lord_joakim doesn't spontaneously resurface), Bisria, and less so Nahar or Ferman (in my opinion, Nahar is the most interesting).

What did happen to InsanePanda? He suddenly came back, and then dissapeared.

 

[Sheep]

Yeah was wondering what happened to him... Him and that alex fellow, probably two of the people I had the most arguments with... I guess they just didn't get my sense of humour.

 

[alex994]

Oh please, I'm not dead yet Stuff outside of NESing is simply taking more time

Sense of humor? hah....

 

[binyo66]

That's true, especially if you work in the country like indonesia, which has to sacrifice for reducing the global warming (by keeping the forest). So once you are out of big cities, it's difficult to get internet

HAHA! Well I am glad you arent dead, even if your know-it-all-nes got annoying at times! haha.

Seriously I didnt always dislike you, it was more of a love/hate type relationship that focussed on arguing every point for the sake of something to do.

Hope you manage to find the time to come back one day, like I have but if not best of luck.

 

[Masada]

Music to invade Poland in 39 too!

 

[Disenfrancised]

It wasn't intended as such (unless there is something Comrade Orwell isn't telling us here ), but some many parts of it are definitely worth looking into. Certainly beats Machiavelli.

Psh, Machiavelli's work had at least some practical testing - 1984 supposes a level of control that might very well turn out as uneconomic to maintain in reality.

There is also the possibility of starting a culture from scratch if you're interested in that; I will eventually need someone to do it.

I was initially most interested by the Dinyart and the Moti (by the way, have you updated the NPC stats yet? Also, what's with the Styr?). Incidentally, I do hope that the Uggor have more than just elephant herding. At least some more standard cattle would be nice, to say nothing of agriculture. The Arta Xorti states in general, including Nahar, seem fairly interesting, but I haven't familiarised myself with them all that thoroughly. The Zyeshu seem promising as well, but while the detail about their narratives is a nice touch by the original player I can't say my efforts to write anything in that style resulted in anything worth reading. As for Ferman, Panda might yet come back as well, and it seems more like his sort of thing. Will have to look into Bisria, though.

I am willing to concede that in general both of them are about as practical as Plato's Politeia, and even that Machiavelli had some nice tips on foreign policy and the like, but I insist that as far constructing a totalitarian state goes 1984 has some nice points; it's important to avoid the sillier parts, ofcourse.

 

[bestshot9]

How many y'all plan on getting Fallout 3?

 

[Kozmos]

I plan on it, but I am not pleased with how it was made. Bethesda dumbed it down, sucked out most of it's charm and personality and essentially made Obluivon with gunz lolz! Not to mention they butchered the story...which I always detest.

Also no KOTOR 3 but a MMO KOTOR? Yeah....up yours Bioware. I aint gonna let you install a pipe to drain my wallet and/or social life.

 

[Thlayli]

Well, Bioware recently has been about 99% awesome, while LucasArts has been about 99% fail, so this will be an interesting game, to say the least.

I'll be rejoining as the Satarai in N3S III.

Don't hold your breath, I'm afraid it won't be ready any time soon, though I still try and work on it when I can.

AFSNES II: Best idea ever, or slightly better than that?

 

[Symphony D.]

1984 supposes a level of control that might very well turn out as uneconomic to maintain in reality.

Nevermind that Orwell was wrong and Huxley was right and Brave New World is actually happening to a limited capacity and is therefore a much better example to follow.

Also, the three-state system is stupid and inefficient. You have a one-state system. Instead of wasting money on war, you waste it on sublight interstellar colonization. This has the added benefit that you simply advertise that dissidents may leave the planet. You then promptly launch their rockets into the Sun and no one is any the wiser. You don't even need a Thought Police. People will betray themselves.

Moti could work. Dinyart could be really fun if you played them right, but that would be difficult.

(by the way, have you updated the NPC stats yet?

Yes. I'd be a horrible person if I left them un-updated for this long.

Also, what's with the Styr?).

What do you mean?

Incidentally, I do hope that the Uggor have more than just elephant herding. At least some more standard cattle would be nice, to say nothing of agriculture.

Naturally. Elephants just happen to be quite prominent.

The Arta Xorti states in general, including Nahar, seem fairly interesting, but I haven't familiarised myself with them all that thoroughly. The Zyeshu seem promising as well, but while the detail about their narratives is a nice touch by the original player I can't say my efforts to write anything in that style resulted in anything worth reading.

Well, whatever you want to do. I'll certainly update before Thanksgiving, and once over that break.

AFSNES II: Best idea ever, or slightly better than that?

This has nothing to do with the AFS idea whatsoever if you haven't realised that yet.

What do you mean?

Not sure if I found them anywhere outside of the map, and they don't seem to have any stats, or have I somehow missed those? Are they basically more of the same old Uggor or are there some significant foreign admixtures?

Besides having elephants, the Uggor have a lot of access to tin. That has given them a little help arming their troops and getting more money through trade. The Uggor also have the whole Chief government, which makes them very ordered and unified.

The Yensai provides a good source of water for farming. I think that Krato having the largest population in the NES shows that farming along the Yensai is very good.

Styr has nothing to do with the Uggor.

 

[Dachs]

This has nothing to do with the AFS idea whatsoever if you haven't realised that yet.

He wants you to resume AFSNES I and put it into a BT so he can carry out his personal fantasies with regards to his plan for the disintegration of the Hellenic empire and subsequent plans for Hellenic cultural dominance in the Mediterranean. I, on the other hand, am opposed to such a continuation because it would involve the rapid collapse of my own empire. (Even though we don't have that idiotic Carolingian succession system. Just...because?)

 

[North King]

Styr is a culture name for the area between Acca and Seshweay.

The Yensai provides a good source of water for farming. I think that Krato having the largest population in the NES shows that farming along the Yensai is very good.

Ironically enough, there are probably about as many people on the Kiyaj and in the old Duroc realms than there are on the Yensai. That's been changing as the Uggor heartland is starting to mature and become the true center of Krato, but until recently, the conquered and "allied" peoples were in the majority. The Duroc are of course still the vast majority in their own area and also in the colonies; the Liealb remain the majority in the entirety of the east.

Come on guys, give me a chance. CHECK OUT MY NES!

 

[Luckymoose]

I want my chance at pwning India.

I want my chance at pwning India.

You lost that war, give it a rest.
