Hey guys, start wrapping up your nation sheets or at least get something usable up soon. I plan on finally kicking this thing off this weekend. (Would do it sooner if it wasn't for my work schedule....)

Like saturday...sunday? I had little time to work on my sheet due to schoolwork.

[Monkeypants]

Yeah I've been a little busy myself but it is temporary. My ns framework is pretty solid save the navy. If it matters to start an nrp that is.

[Monkeypants]

Yeah.. I'm double posting.. deal with it. Chatzy is evil.. I miss so much because of it.

[SyrianHamster]

Yo Kilo, I wanna start drafting my first post because I am super organised.

Something dawned on me, what's the deal with the calendar? What we using? Earth's? Nation-specific?

When we starting? Winter? Summer?

Let us know when ya can, cheers. :)

EDIT: To anybody thinking of joining a side, or direct military involvement, here are the faction territorial holdings and army dispositions.

Karanova Civil War

Blue = Government
Green = Nationalist Rebels
Red = Communist Guerillas

I'm pretty sure we're using the normal Earth calendar for simplicity.

At least, I hope we are.

It depends on how many pages equals a month in IC time, IMO. Might I suggest we start in early spring as we're nearing a war?

Well, you might just as well kick me out, I was sick from the two days and I didn't finish my Nation Sheet in time. So I guess that I'm out, in case you all were waiting from me to post it.

[Senor Herp]

calm your titties raresama

post what you have and do what you will, mine's still got silly filler shit for a fair amount of the technical data, history ain't there and deep history ain't at no refined conceptual level because I've had other things to do and a bit of a block, don't see me panicking

why people gotta be so histrionic, shieet

[Hidarii]

Sorry for not being finished, been @ the hospital with my fiance after he was injured pretty bad on the job wednesday, will have an update later this weekend if i'm staying or not, sorry for the inconvenience.

[Kilo6]

Wow this has just been an awful week for everyone hasn't it? Work, school, hospital, etc. We can start later next week I guess.. Everyone is busy so its only fair that I push back the date again.. Please just get something up this week.

[Chapatrap]

I really don't think we should be waiting for people. If a majority of us have finished our apps, we should go ahead It's not like we're declaring war, discovering the atom and destroying entire nations in the time it takes someone who hasn't finished their app to start posting. If we keep pushing the start date further and further, it's going to lose too much momentum and then the RP will just die.

I understand that some people are having problems IRL but we really shouldn't keep pushing the date back because some people haven't finished their apps.

What worries me is, if this is how long it takes to get their sheets up, then what the Hell are they going to be like when it comes to posting?

Or we aiming for one post a month?

Not trying to sound like a dick here, but I do feel this is a genuine concern. I know people have their reasons, but I er... I dunno. Just seems wherever you go on this guild, you run into the highest concentration of the world's busiest/unluckiest people.

Now if you all look to the left, you'll find a box full of pistol-muskets. Some are loaded. Some are not. Have at it.

Ding, ding, ding!

[Chapatrap]

I really think we should just start. If you haven't posted your app yet, there's always time to post it further down the line. If you have posted your app, the bare bones are there and you can always edit it later.

Of course, it's down to Kilo who said she/he'd take a look over them first and whatever you decide I'll go along with. But I don't think I can just sit through another week of inactive Chatzy, waiting to post and get it all started because a few people haven't finished/posted their apps yet.

[Jeddaven]

Damn, you're not accepting nations anymore?

[Skylar]

Nordamark is ready to go. Just need to finish the history, but I'd at least like to get my foot in the door on posting.

[TheEvanCat]

If we wait even more, the interest will collapse completely.

It has happened before. It will happen again.

Yup.

[Kilo6]

So we will be starting this week! I shall have the first post up in the coming days. Stay tuned.
