Okay everyone just wait a little bit. For one we'll wait to sign up until we're all approved and the list of nations is posted in the main WP. (there are some countries which you may not expect to be powerful) Japan is going to be part of it, along with most of the other countries you can come up with so if you want to start brainstorming teams, go for it. Just wait to claim countries. And until we get more people lets stick to 2 person teams.
To answer your countries the game is set in Asia, which ranges from the Middle East to Australia (and the U.S. is involved too) We were originally planning a global scale but I dont think we'll get enough people this time through.
The game is set in the near future, about 2012. We're finalizing a Timeline and I'm just waiting for the administrators to get back to me on some changes.

yes, i agree, asia has more potential for war, because europe is too untied to go to war.

Is Canada involved? Sorry if this seems silly, but I just think that Canada has as much interest in Asia as America does. Granted we're not lead by a group of warmongering neo-nazi crooks, but then, Bush didn't really choose his cabinet, did he? (Sorry if that comment offends anyone. I just watched Farenheit 9/11 last night [this morning technically; started watching it around 12:30] and I'm a Canadian, so I'm feeling pretty biased right now)

Sorry if I havent posted in a while but we're still working on the plot details. The administrators are a little worried that the current plot might hit a little too close to home, so I'm trying to persuade them otherwise. I havent heard back though yet so hopefully it shouldn't be long. Swinkee, Sorry I didnt get back to you earlier, Canada will not be involved just because every country in the game will be an asian country except for the U.S. The U.S. will be involved beacuse they do play a larger role in the world politics than other nations such as Canada. Sorry if you really wanted to be them. In brief I'm trying to keep almost all the countries located over there, and in fact the U.S. will actually be participating from territory in SE Asia, so in reality all the nations involved are located in Asia.
Hey, this looks great, but I just found out about it. Is is too late to join? If not, can I get all of the relevant info and links? I read the thread, but everything has been revised so much, I cant understand it.
Thanks
We're having more trouble getting this WP started then we imagined. I left the adminisrators comments anonymous but I do beleive you all should see this.

Regardless of that lack of realism, this one just seems a little bit too close to home for me to be really comfortable with it. It's too easy to confuse the fantasy with reality with a world so similar to others (and I assure you that there will be brutal arguments that are may be taken personally), so I would vote no.
I still think that the only way you're going to get this thing approved is to set it in a world less close to ours. =/
Im not really sure what we're going to do now, but me and Agentdark are looking into several options. Please post your friendly and helpful comments on what you think we should do. Im interested in what everyone thinks. Hopefully we'll get this running sooner or later.
Yarrrrggh....I was worried about something like this. But as for making it somehow different...will they allow it if its set on a different world? With a different race? From their ideas it seems like no. Whihc makes it really hard to do thiss without completely changing the idea. I can see some reason behind the decision but not much. War is war, poeple die. It could be hard for complete idiots to keep track of reality and fantasy but I don't think that anyone with the intelligence to play magic should have problem with that.

If it were set in a different world, it would almost certainly be approved. The main opposition is that it's essentially our own world right now.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
oh come on dude, we can all seperate fact from fiction. If you have trouble, set it 20 years in the future.
I'm not the one who has a problem with the time and place; I'm telling you what everyone else thinks. :tongue2:
edit: That said, I can somewhat see their problem. I personally think that most people would be satisfied with maybe 100 to 200 years in the future.

I'm just going to post a headcount reminder for anyone wondering just how many people are going to play and for any administrators who are wondering how much support this has. (Hint,Hint)
Not counting me and Agentdark there are 22 people who have expressed some interest in playing this game so far by either posting here or on the other thread. As soon as we get a WP thread I'll make sure to send a PM to all those people and anyone else who shows interest so they're aware its happening.
Also I will say that this game can support pretty much any number of people. With 2 person teams and 20 countries (unless we change something) we'll need about 40 people to play a full game (but we would definetly play this game with 22, we would just have less countries participate) If for some crazy reason we get more people we can just up the team member counts and suddenly we have a very fun game.
Also if you're really anticipating this game don't be afraid to put the banner (in my sig) into your sig. We need more people and shameless self-promotion is the best promotion one can get! (Just make sure you give Votan credit)

20 is fine. It's not like we're doing anything bad, just because its realistic doesn't mean anything.
I don't think either of us can say that for sure.

Or soon. Right now we're just waiting for Wolfwood to post here.
Also me and Agentdark are finalizing a few of the minor minor details, and ironing the creases. Hopefully this will happen soon...
