@TheSovereignGraveThat one was not sarcastic. They most likely will be disbanded by then. Also, the latter of that post is exaggerated, but still is a pretty good (if cynical) expression of our psychology.
Marshall all but explicitly stated that the nuking was the result of the last UN meeting. The nukes didn't fall in 2088; 2088 is when the RP takes place.

Read closely guys, its kind of a secret but not really, they were all in the same room with the briefcases in front of them and they all turned the keys. The start of the RP is 2088, bombs fell the real life date I guess lol.

I am aware of that, I'm stating that's not really particularly believable (and I'm discounting that I don't think how's that works in the first place).

I think I'll probably make a new nation. And this one will be something of a city-state; a big ol' walled city surrounded by mutant and cannibal infested wilderness/wasteland. Maybe; I still haven't fully decided. I might just keep the one I have.

You said earlier the start of the RP was 2042? Also, I agree with TSG that it is...unlikely that diplomats at the United Nations would do that, to say the least. :P I wouldn't be surprised if that was a rumor that was floating around, but ultimately I think what happened was that one nation nuked an adjacent nation under the pretext of preventing the spread of the Reaper Plague - stop refugees from running into their nation and spreading it, which inevitably escalated into a total worldwide nuclear exchange.

He changed stuff up a bit; one of the changes was making the date later.

@Everybody @Marshall I think it should be edited to reaper ending guise with resource hungering intent. That would make the most sense.

@UltikanaRe Explain that in PM @Everyone I know that there are inconsistencies and I know that it is flawed but I want to get this going on friday so unless someone is going to get votes on changes, this is where we stand and this is where we will go on from. ALSO: I can't find problems in my Nation Sheet so if someone could take a look and help me out I'd be very thankful.

Er, I don't think discussing the specifics of how the planet was nuked would interfere with the RP. We could discuss it as the RP goes on, since it's not something that necessarily matters to the setting. The planet was nuked, that much is certain. But it'd be nice to have a somewhat realistic reason as to how/why.

how bout it varies from place to place? Like one persons says it was them Americans, and another says it was the Chinese. Or it was the Canadians trying to keep American's from spilling across their border to escape the virus.

But we as the players should still know what exactly happened, regardless of what the people themselves think. Unless Marshall wants to just say 'we don't know what exactly happened'. Which is fine too.

Just a general question about the posting: Are we doing census style? Multiple perspective? Both? I am slightly better at census, but both could be fun. Example post: Nation Population Major events/reaction to world events •Leader/Government reaction •Citizen reaction Anything that is going on/other section
Event It was a cold dark day in taiwan. Things blew up. A kipper shine don deer gos. Beaded utimg flood gekins. "Jenkins gentians ye gutterflarbs!"[filler text, essentially a mini-perspective of the event]

I think like this: NATION REACTIONS TO EXTERNAL STIMULI: INTERNAL ISSUES: (Continued to next post or resolved) CHANGES IN NATION: Pop increase, decrease, new discoveries OTHER ACTION RESULTS: NEW OTHER ACTIONS: Something like that

Oh. If that's how we're going to be posting, then you'll have to count me out of the RP. That's not really my cup of tea.

I mean those more as topics you need to cover, not an outline lol. I don't mean to throw you off. I think people should RP this how THEY are comfortable and not feel stuck to one type of posting. If you want to do paragraphs thats fine, if you want to do census type mode go right ahead.

By the way, I may or may not turn this into a short story when we're done. I would include everyone who participates in the credits of course but I think I'll have to see how it goes before I decide lol.

@Everybody@Marshall@Enalais@TheSovereignGrave I do agree that a 'We don't know' would be fun to work with as a propaganda source. I could say the Fourth Reich nuked Germany, oppressive Chinese might have nuked Tibet, jealous and power-hungry Mexico surprise nukes the US, tons of possibilities. Also, since you said 'whatever is comfortable' I would like to stick to my format and jump around characters. I also cannot wait to see if this can turn into a short-story, although I think it might better classified as a novella as assuming this goes for a month and 8 people post 8 paragraphs a week, 236 paragraphs is a bit long for a short story.
