►►►Nation RP General - Learn and share in one convenient place! (OP IN PROGRESS)

[grunterdb1951]

I'd be down for a few tech-eras. I'll underline the ones I'm most interested in.

Napoleonic Wars, World War One, World War Two (Early to Mid), and Early Cold War (1950s).

You can play if you want to, ultimately it makes no difference to me. I'd just like there to be a few NPC nations. I know there was gonna be some in the latest rendition of Anagaea, but that kinda died before that could happen.

I think having the moderator also play a nation is a bad idea, but if you think you can pull it off, go ahead. Having NPC nations is a better idea IMO (which in practical terms are still controlled by you, but are more detached).

[Nonnel]

Which inter-war? There were a lot of them.

presumably WWI-WWII

[SWAT One]

Alright, I think I'll put out a survey later to just gather everything all in one place so I can accurately assess how I'm going to prepare this.

Finally Done!

[SWAT One]

Bump.

I would additionally like to note that I will be requiring anyone interested in development to pre-apply before they participate in development.  The polls within the pre-application are unanimously in favor of random placement based on ethnographic data based on climate zones.

Your land claim will adhere primarily to natural geographic boundaries and will be sized based primarily on population.

If anyone who took the survey likes this idea, I invite you to pre-apply when you can or, if you don't like the idea, place it in the Critical section of the Other Information/Comments portion on the survey.

[cromartini]

Did the survey, cant wait.

[SWAT One]

Some current statistics, for those wanting to know:















I hope this one will prompt a discussion, as there were mixed answers.




As a result of this one, I think I may require pre-application as the results show extreme favor for randomization. In reality, you don't always get to rule a country near to you who is friendly to you, and often creates friendly blocs agains geographically distant enemy blocs. So if anyone would like to re-take the survey and submit a pre-application, I would appreciate it, and perhaps give your input in the other comments section.

[SWAT One]

Bump because spammy thread output is annoying.

We've begun to work on tectonic and climatic zones.

[cromartini]

oboy

Progress update: Development has begun on the world map.

Green = Done, Blue = In Progress, Red = To Do; Bold = Large Task

• Generate heightmap globe model
• Create tectonic zones
• Create continental map
• Calculate zones of atmospheric convection currents.
• Map out prevailing winds
• Map ocean currents
• Figure climatic zones and add to 2D map
• Draw in rivers and lakes
• Map out mineral resources
• Map out agricultural resources
• Generate ethnographic data based on climatic and continental data
• Map out pre-applied nations according to ethnographic data

Alright so that is our development checklist. A lot of the smaller items will fly right by.  I hope to release the game Sunday, October 1^st. I plan to release the data for the 2D map when the game has ended so that users will have access to these maps. They're hard to make, and I wouldn't want you guys who want to have this detail go through it again.


From a participation perspective, I would still like to see people apply beforehand so that we can include them on the map.

The poll results are tending towards 1900, Nukes used as deterrents only, with likely a rule existing that says "anyone who tries to end the world will have their nation converted into an NPC." There will be around 3-6 NPCs, probably. Superpower status will be decided by their actions. I will be playing as an NPC, but I do not plan on being competitive or fighting to win. Frankly put, I'm just in it for the narrative.

[SWAT One]

Alright, so I've been working on an identification system to help expedite form submissions and ensure identity security. I may mirror this information into its own topic in the future. A problem with strawpolls and google forms is you can always pretend to be someone else. I made a database with Unique Identifiers, or UIDs that use an algorithm using a variety of data to generate your UID.

Since I often put out Google Forms to gather data with a variety of questions, now I will allow users to submit their UID as the sole field to identify them, saving you time when you want to take a survey. This ID will not ned to be re-generated, and you can use it as long as you are the only one that knows is.

In the interest of time, I also added some of the people I know to the database already. If you see your BL_ID or any of your BL_ID on this list, then you are already added.

1919, 3025, 6038, 9616, 10859, 10885, 11007, 14257, 14268, 14806, 22398, 23461, 23892, 23938, 26659, 29413, 32635, 33887, 36969, 39609, 47978, 48646, 50349, 52005, 165968, 176495, 185762, 192366, 202544

Don't see your BL_ID here and want to be added? Click Here.

Lost your UID? Recover your UID here. You will be sent an email with your UID typically within 1-2 minutes.

I will be sending out Recovery Codes to those that have their BL_IDs listed already sometime tomorrow.

No one else has access to this information but me, and it will not be shared to other users.

Sorry if I as unclear. This is not just for joining a game. Instead of listing out a whole huge list of details and contact information to verify who you say you are, you will just be able to list out a code in format AAA-000 (LetterLetterLetter-NumberNumberNumber) which will be unique to you, and that will be all that you need.

No previous forms will be needed, you will not be needed to sign into Google in the future. You will not need to enter personal information in the future.

Nation RP applications will mostly be handled through forum posts. NationForge II is not looking out to be that way based on how the world will begin, but that will use the old survey system.
