The "Baker" explosion, part of Operation Crossroads, a nuclear weapon test by the United States military
Bikini Atoll, Micronesia, July 25th 1946
A massive version of the above photo is here

TL;DR Summary
  • GM's are @HeySeuss and @Sini.
  • Late 1940’s, Cold War, era.
  • Alternate World and fictional nations.
  • A world war just ended. There is a surplus of weaponry and the victors are now dividing the spoils.
  • Economies are in tatters, empires teeter precariously.
  • Ideological conflict by proxy rather than epic world war; largely because epic world war = radioactive, lifeless rockball.
  • There is a UN-style group called the World Conclave; it is structured similarly to the UN, with the veto system.
  • Players should realize that open conflict between nations is going to be stopped, with the exception of internal (colonial) conflicts.
  • The RP is not about your unproven strategic genius/e-peen. OOC needs to be civil.

A lot of ideas have been pitched. It's getting confusing.

For ease of reference and intermediate list, feel free to correct/remark:

  • TheSpectre: notUSA, superpower
  • Cold: commie superpower
  • RisenDead: opposition group or fascist country
  • ClocktowerEchoes: notChina (or a big part of it)
  • Theodorable: Imperialst empire, monarchy former world power now secondary power trying to hold onto its territories (mix UK and France?)
  • Sini: notJapan a decade out of the Meiji Restauration, statist and possibly imperialist
  • HeySeuss: 'Nam-ish nation, ethnic minority but influenced by notChina
  • SomeChap: notWestern-Germany, former fascist, monarchy
  • ChairmanStein: notArabia/Ottoman, socialist

Might switch out to a NotIsrael if NotVietnam with a young Emperor is too close to NotJapan with its Meiji Restoration,. But we'll have a NotHoChiMinh too.

I honestly have a question of how did notJapan get into WW2 if they didn't even have a Meiji Restoration. Meiji was basically the entire reason they could rolf-stomp all over asia since they had progressed further than any other asian country in the area due to the Meiji restoration.

I think you misunderstood and/or I did not make myself clear enough. I'll be explicit. The modernisation of state, economy and military "notMeiji Restauration", is over and done with in notJapan. It just hasn't happened that long ago as in real history. Not 1868 to 1912, but 1890 to 1925 or so.

@SomeChap With all due respect to that positioning, no.

Edit: Everyone else, please bear in mind that all claims are subject to approval from Sini and I. We need to work that out.

Might have some ideas but I have way more RPs to post in before I even humor brainstorming this though I do love working with Seuss and Sini.

Just noticed this RP this morning and my interest is piqued. I'll look through the established nations and see what sort of role I can fill.

Excellent. About halfway through my nation sheet at the moment. I'm hoping to have it finished sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.

Right, so after logging on the chat after having one of the better days of my career, I read a bunch of whining on the chat and realized that I just don't have the patience or the wherewithal to take a load of hormonally pissed commentary from the type of player, that regrettably, stalks the NRP section. You know the type, the one that sits back and loudly proceeds to tell everyone else how to get it done. The guy that, somehow, never seems to have an idea of their own, but constantly alludes to how they are working on it.

Basically, going back to NRP's was a terrible idea and I'm just relieved someone was obnoxious enough to jostle me out of my complacency and ennui on coming back to this section to do an RP at all. It's better for everyone involved to hand it over and just be done with it. I want to do some writing I'll enjoy, rather than slaving away for some child-tyrant. I'm saving up the frustration when I have kids of my own. kthxbai.

We started out to have fun, enjoy ourselves and instead hear about internal animosity of the NRP section.
