help - spatial awareness

Get a map where positions can be noted with a dot. Anyone with a computer has or can get an image editing program. Something as simple as MS Paint will allow people to put a dot down anywhere on the map.

The level of sophistication of the map can vary depending on where you get it or how you yourself make it. It can feature terrain elevation, a grid system that breaks the map down in a regular pattern of every X meter or kilometer, and the map can of course contain geographic features.

It's easily the simplest way to convey the most detail possible. Even in non-NRP RPs I'd consider it honestly a good investment if not a flat requirement.

What kind of RP mood are you in?

I think I've shown interest or joined at least 4 RPs at this point. The excruciating part is waiting for any single one of them to start.

Horror, Powers, Fantasy... Heck, I might even consider Sci-Fi if it meant that one would just get going instead of hovering in limbo

@Leophael

Replying to this late because sort of scanning backwards in hopes of poaching people, but if what you want is RPs that are on right now then I can direct you to NRP where I have one going right now if you're so desperate; Ghosts of Napoleon.

So it seems

@Liaison

Unless your GM comes back and the two of you can soldier through: I don't think so. You're probably better off looking for an RP that wasn't necro'd from the depths.

Yeah, it's unintentional; I didn't mean anything ill.

Hmm, want to help me brainstorm ideas for what I can write about instead?

@Letter Bee

That a non-negligible number of people in Egypt were cutting off their hands, fingers, or blinding themselves by dripping rat poison into their eyes to escape enlistment in Muhammad Ali's army or corvee work system, or emigrating from the country all together, and that by and large you control the lands that Muhammad Ali controls now, who would be inhabited by people not at all happy with the fact that now all their shit can be confiscated as the centralized property of the state, his state.

The French are planning to grow cotton elsewhere as a long-term solution; I got that. I just thought they'd buy from Egypt in the short-to-medium term (which granted, might have been wishful thinking on my part).

Edit: That said, my thought processes have been getting erratic (again) lately. Sorry for the inconvinience.

@Letter Bee

Bee, you're god modding with posts like the one you keep trying to put out.

3.) Read it. So the French will only buy cotton from Egypt if Egypt lowers its rates to below what the English give?

@Letter Bee

You again prove you did not read it, or read it very well. Neither did you understand it, if you did.

1.) For the War with Russia, with Egypt selling for lower prices but at greater bulk.

2.) Oh, my god; I forgot about that. Damn myself. Perhaps he could have been allowed to lease out the land from the state? Or I can retcon him into being a state official?

@Letter Bee

1) you didn't actually read it

2) no, he would have to be an agent of the state. The regime of Muhammad Ali wouldn't have the power it has without forcing people to do shit for it.

@Letter Bee

Bee, under which circumstance do you think France is buying Egyptian cotton.

And secondly, under which circumstance would a private merchant be operating in Egypt when the Egyptian state acts as the sole purchaser and seller of all goods in the Egyptian realm, as it is also the sole land-owner of all Egypt.
