Good news, everyone! I finally got my first post as Mexico in, and at just over 18,000 pages, I think that's a record for me. :D

Also, if you're looking for a good game, I apologize; I don't exactly have any good recommendations. Maybe you could try [url=http://youtu.be/e_MOX99ltoY?t=4m12s]the Zoo Race[/url]? It's a classic struggle between the human mind and all the forces of hell that would seek to ravage it, drag it down to the deepest depths of insanity...also it has Jesus. I think.

I assume you mean characters, not pages.

In regards to the whole technology debate, I would say much of the magic of Precipice lies in its realism. If we shouldn't have a weird zany Floridian republic with super advanced jets because it's not realistic, then surely some gradual technological progress should happen because staying in the 1950's forever would be not realistic? The entire concept is based around alternative history, and though to make a good story obviously requires that sometimes be ignored there should be a balance between the two extremes. I feel like nations should be able to develop technologies such as jets or rocketry or what have you (obviously not nukes) if they are reasonably sized and reasonably well developed over a period of time, given an ample amount of time dedicated to explaining it's development, as I have with my little experimental rocketry project since 1976 (and probably destined to last until whenever the next timeskip is or the one after that). And nations such as Prussia should be able to develop them even faster. I don't see why Hugs couldn't at least have really basic jet technology and refine it over time.

I just feel that the technology restrictions should be a little less intense, and should go with Gorgen's suggestion of gradual progress over time as this RP continues to progress into the future.

I'll post as soon as I finish House of Cards, probably tomorrow.
