[quote=@Durandal] So are we waiting on one or two more people to begin? [/quote] None, we can begin now. I advise everyone 2 finish there apps as quick as possible so you do not miss large plot points. I advise all posts to be over 500 characters. If you put something in a hider, it is a treaty or a request. For that please follow this formula. [hider=To "Person"] Hello "Person", I offer you a request, would you like to join me in fighting the Pastafrians of Euro-Jamaica, thank you [/hider] Or [hider=My "Person"] Hi "Person", I would like you to join me in an alliance, please send me your reply. [/hider] If you see a hider adressed to you, do not open it, that would be metagaming. Those 2 examples of treaties and requests are not the only types of things you can send. Any type of national interaction are 2 be sent in hiders. You can also send 1 hider to multiple people. All IC posts are from the perspective of the leader of the nation. This means interactions between people in your nation such as meetings with advisors or speeches. Any types of interactions, including leading armies are allowed.
