Hello Afterwind! I thought it would be fun to get a map game going here...what's that? You've never heard of a map game? Oh my. Well, let me elaborate:
What the Baal is a map game, and why should I care?
-Well, a map game is basically and alternative history game, where a base map is posted as the starting turn. Player can chose preexisting countries on the map if there are any, or start a new one if it's blank. Depending on the type of map game, players control events that happen throughout the world while playing.
Okay, I get it...so what are the rules?
-Well, picking up where we left off last entry, in this map game you will only be able to control events in your own country that happen only using your ethnicity/population. You may send your people abroad to crusade, invade, spy, negotiate, etc, but you may never write another country's history unless the other country agrees. There will be a maximum of 50 players, who may start anywhere on the map. They must have a name for their people, at least one settlement to serve as a capitol, some sort of material or product they are skilled at making (EX: Michigan, Cars. Gunma, Anime. Berlin, Pornography). You start off with exactly ONE province on the entire map. To conquer blank land (grey), you simply post an event in your comment. You may conquer up to three provinces a comment, no more.
You speak of comments and turns...how do those work?
-Alright, so the game will start off at Year 0, First Era. Every turn (comment) is exactly one year. You set up a turn like this:
What are "Events" exactly?
-Events can be anything important that happen in your turn. 1 per month. When making an event, think seriously: "Does this sound plausible? Realistic? Does it make sense? Is it fair? If it is unrealistic or unwanted, it will be voted on to see whether or not it if factual or to be removed.
Alright, I understand. What map will we be using?
This one

If I didn't explain anything fully or you have questions, please comment below. If you guys find this interesting, I will start an actual game (needs at least 10 players). Maybe if it become popular enough, the winner could be awarded a trophy or something.

Alright! We have all ten now. There may be 5 more reserves, but no more than that. I will start a new game thread (will take me a long time to type). If 5 others join as reserves, can a mod lock this? Danke in advance.

Two things... My flag is meant to resemble the county flags of Ireland and they are 1x2 in dimensions so 1 tall and 2 wide And you gave me county cork....:( Kerry is one county over with the Dingle Peninsular and Limerick 1 county above... Heres a pic of it  Also we should keep this thread as the game 'chat'

Sorry about all of the problems guys. I've had to multitask all day, so I haven't had time to look things up and just guessed. I was surprised I picked Chiba instead of Yokohama though, fucking Algebra is clouding my mind-map! anyways, I redid the entire map and will be posting it soon. If LilD doesn't show up by 7:00 PM EST, I will bump him to player 5 so we can get this rolling.

There is no need to apologize, really. And I'm sure everyone can wait for LilD. You can do your Algebra stuff in the meantime, that's important shit.

So what exactly does OP mean in this game?

Opinion, your populations opinion of your country. The lower it is, the less they will oblige in what you do (If you have 10%, they wouldn't go to war for example). The best thing to do to get it up is hold public activities and build memorials or things to make their lives easier. If OP ever hits 20% or lower for you, other countries can annex your territory (1 per turn). other countries can also bring your OP down by mocking you, beating you, or terrorizing you.

You should also make some time limit. i mean i know LilD was from Jamaica, but maybe he wasn't home thoese 5 hours. also some of us aren't from america so i wasn't online when rooddy posted (that 2:30 AM) (:

Also this bothers me; " Every time you gain 10% your population increases by 1000. Every time you conquer a territory it increases by 1000, but you lose 10% opinion. " so if population is based on opinion 10% = 1000 pop, then when you conquer a region you get nothing?
