Republic of guadalajara

I think I have the opposite problem than Athertvari described with the "down to enkon" thing; despite me having a 17 billion population, I think of my nation as just one normal country in a world where more powerful countries exist. When I joined this region, I just wanted a place that was fairly active where I could RP my sports (although I haven't really done anything with that due to school, work and other stuff).

Moving forward, I can just roll with whatever is decided by you guys as the more active nations. I'll try to be more active again whether it's a local RP or space or whatever; and restart my sports leagues because creating teams, tracking the storylines, the stats, etc. is something I really enjoy doing.

Maybe in the future we can establish a version of fifa on Delta. It would give us global soccer but also a chance to establish local confederations to RP with our neighbors. Using great Brittan as a example ATH for instance can have each of his realms as a separate national team. sports are a branch of rp we never really touched.

St Saratoga is into sports RP too. You two should chat and see if you bring some sports to the region. I have this odd urge to create an Athretvari hyper-hovercar grand-prix/championship tourny. You’d all get to race through the great cities and wild jungleforest of the Hrenvari realms.

Ivstinian and Republic of guadalajara

Sorry that I am late to the show, I think I've read up and understand what has been said so far so here is my wall of text.

The RP & Map (IC) -

RP-WISE - I typed this part last due to needing to really think about this for a minute. Starting with the era/time of the RP, I am open to an FTL rp but I am nervous due to my lack of understanding for how FTL tech works. When we first tried FTL a few years ago, I was very opposed due to that very reason but as I have gotten older and definitely more mature I've started to open up to learning new things. Frankly, I didn't want to spend my time learning in an academic setting just to use my free time again learning/studying how FTL settings would work. Now that I have graduated college, have had a solid break from all that (and again maturing more) I am way more open to pursuing an FTL set RP and taking the time to learn it. It helps that I finally listened to Ned and am watching more Star Trek (DS9) as well as the Star Wars universe has really expanded over the last 5 years plus playing some of the mass effect trilogy. I think the concept is sound if executed and overseen correctly.

So yeah, I am open to entertaining near future tech to faster than light tech. I think that FTL is also more liberating in an RP storytelling sense consider we can not bound to reference IRL tech we deal with on a daily basis. I do think having the map as a corner of the galaxy like Elite Dangerous (Video Game) for a map would be best way to handle the map. In-terms of Delta, making that the Eden (Like what Ned has said) and have it serve as the base for galactic negotiations and rulemaking IC (Athretvari and Saratogan delegations vote to ban Neutrino WMDs with Nedea, Moarfall and 46566 opposed for example) would be my suggestion. Just a thought came up with is considering retiring Delta and making the central place more of Citadel (From Mass Effect) style map for the IC diplo/UN. A station with each player getting a wing within it. Otherwise just keeping Delta as a non-pvp diplo zone is fine. My only issue with Delta is what's the purpose of it beyond nostalgia for oldies?

MAPWISE - If you (Ned) need help with mapmaking or want a mapmaking assistant so to speak that something we can explore. The map is legit and way above the standard I have seen anywhere else. Understanding that, I am also open to lowering the quality the map if its over the top for you or just too much of a beast. You are not being paid to do this as you've stated, you have no obligation to uphold such high standards if you don't want too.

Basic RP Understandings (OOC) - Reading what has been stated above. I agree formulating rules and such outside of the RP is something we should do. I think that could assist with helping new members get more involved themselves. We as ancient members of NS know hour rules we've been using since 2012 but we've never actually written them down. How are we expecting a new people who might be too shy to ask to learn out rules. I would also say that having a clearer written expectations and explanation for our RP is necessary for helping that. From my observations, most other regions are quick to update their maps due to the lower quality nature and that the average age of NS players is 14-20yrs old who have exponentially more free time, that's an expectation we need to clearly state from the outset.

"NCON is a region made up of majority adults, this RP is slower paced, heavily detailed and stats orientated. War is very uncommon and storylines are months of commitment. If that is not for you it will be within your best interest to search for an RP elsewhere." If we want to grow the region, let's attract the right folks here, we can establish a more unique region in that fact that we hold a very high standard on RP for a region based for adults. That's my perspective anyway.

Regional Governance - I agree having a regional management system in place to help with overall regional administration such as kick/banning, OOC rulemaking, embassies, etc. Then another role for introduction to the regional roleplay and helping a player get sorted. I would be vehemently opposed to Regional Gov't as they generate so much unnecessary drama and can destabilize RPs.

Regional Sports - I am involved with NS Sports aspect of the forums. Sports have such good storylines that average viewers don't see, you can get some pretty well done story tropes carried out within sports which makes making storylines for a fictional league pretty IRL believable. For IRL examples, the Tampa Bay Lighting being back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions through a rule loophole they took advantage of after years of pushing to get the that very loophole closed or the occasional player who gets cut/traded without notice so they signed with that teams rival to help them win a championship. I haven't checked out how the motorsport community runs and rps their stuff so that would be a learning curve for me that I am totally open to learning. Watching the Bahrain Grand Prix (F1) this weekend!

I can run or assist in running a league here but you cannot compete on with NS Sports. What a lot of regions do is regional locked leagues (with outsiders invited based on league approval) of nearly any sports but mainly soccer/ROW Football. I have access to a scorinator which generates in-depth results for sports for majority of main stream sports which could be used. Plus you can adjust an advantage with the scorinator so how the NS community uses that is if you RP you get an advantage against your opponent unless they rp as well. If we were to do sports I am totally open to helping/hosting. I've always wanted NCON to make a bid to host the NS World Cup, we each have a role within hosting it and the group stage games split between those who want to be involved in hosting. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=514511 CC: Athretvari 46566 Republic of guadalajara

Also if anyone has a factbook or a dispatch they want to show off let me know and i'll pin it

Looks like the consensus so far is space is okay. How would we want to go forward with that? Give people on Delta a chance now to abandon their claims on the planet and grab a moon?

Maybe a moon and/or a corridor through a astroid field. Maybe if you take a safe corridor and mining rights to a portion of the astroid field you get a less valuable Moon?

How ironic that y’all wanna do FT and I just picked Stellaris back up the other day lol

Athretvari, St Saratoga, 46566, and Mushroom army

As a follow-up to my last post but basically we keep our Lore and spots on the map but just retacon us having space programs (space forces) we just move our tech up to functionality space tech. I'd honestly rather not restart the RP for like the 9th for it to fizzle out before it starts.

If we're completely restarting fresh as a ft RP with Ftl. Everything has to be rped again to claim existence. Basically things like the KU or DU has to be RPed and joined. So nothing grandfathered in.

Basically I think we do what we did with Prime and ekon. We have our main map, space map for moons and space outposts then seperate planets (as needed) to have some need for space travel. We would basically be early FT with maybe early stage ftl travel.

I agree in keeping the same lore and just retaconing some stuff to make it work. Also give us a period to do some lore backfilling maybe?

Welcome The atlas corp

Ivstinian, St Saratoga, and The atlas corp

Hello The atlas corp, welcome to the New Coalition of Nations.

Ivstinian and The atlas corp

My move is nearly complete. I'll be in my new place this weekend!

Moved in now. Hopefully I can get the internet setup quickly. In the meantime, any predictions for the trade fair? What might everyone sell or buy?

Nedea wrote:Moved in now. Hopefully I can get the internet setup quickly. In the meantime, any predictions for the trade fair? What might everyone sell or buy?

Maybe base it around a nations stats? A nations top industry star or sector is what they sell? Hopefully they have changeable values if people flood the market.

Well, it's a trade fair, and they said we can display our spoils in our region so I doubt it has anything to do with stats. Seems like it wouldn't be commodities like coal or trucks and more like Art and gizmos. Though that's just my prediction. I'll probably be proven wrong.

Athretvari, 46566, and Mushroom army

I have a feeling it might be more like what 46566 said. But likely not too bound to actual stats (a nation with low mining would still be able to ‘trade’ some mining), and there will probably be some type of storage, warehouse, or reserves where you can see everything you traded for. It may be similar to the bytecoin trading system. I would hope it was a test of a new permanent feature, as in-game trading would be a super cool upgrade!

Ivstinian, Nedea, 46566, and Mushroom army

Wow. Looks like I was right. Sort of

Athretvari, Ivstinian, 46566, and Mushroom army

Meh.

Ivstinian, Nedea, and Mushroom army

I don't like the idea things don't regenerate over time and your force to bank almost immediately.

Completely irrelevant but I finished the MADness issue and spoiler:

Going the James Bont route works
It made me so unbelievably happy for whatever reason. I just really enjoyed the issue as a whole

Also, does anyone know how to get more goods other than seizing them from another nation?

Mushroom army wrote:Also, does anyone know how to get more goods other than seizing them from another nation?

Not idea. This event is a first for all of us.

Also, I'm just stashing everything I get. Not keeping anything on hand. Call it the Regional Development Fund or whatever. Inspecting me will yield nothing
