    A new NES?

    If I were to initiate a new NES, who would be down?

    It would be as oldschool as I could make it, and thus very much as self-moderating as possible.

    Updates would be Wednesdays and Weekends (Fri Sat or Sun)

    and sooner if I have all orders + the time.

    I'd be willing to do anything besides a futuristic NES or Uber Historical one.

    Thoughts?

    conditional yes I'm down. I'm up for a light-hearted NES, as I am in several serious ones already.

    I'd likewise be up for anything. Something modern might be fun- anything post-1900.

    I also would really like to see who all would be interested, 'poly NESes don't get too many walk-ins it seems.

    Sounds good, but I don't want to get my hands too full - I'm doing enough writing for HRE as it is. I'll certainly consider it, though.

    Very interesting, as long as we can keep it from being a giant gang-rape because they outnumber us by orders of magnitude.

    player limit of 8 PC nations and a cold/war bloc type of NES would be in order

    MOD would have their hands full, so I would ask either 2 mods, one from each site, or one experienced mod who can remain impartial

    I can mod or co-mod if the rules are good enough.
    So we want it to actually be Poly vs. CFC, or just a game with players from both sites?
    If the former, New World-Old World kind of thing, I'm thinking. But even then the alliances could be breakable. And the point would obviously have to not be conquest. What era? Not historical, I think.

    Maybe historical, but not especially far back- WWI or maybe the 19th century.

    what about each player is given a goal? and the first "team" to have all their players reach that goal, wins?

    I dunno. Having a way for a team to 'win' sounds like it will only create trouble. Let em just play.

    Is there any way to notify people on the boards at CFC about this? I seem to recall threads that might be seen as pulling posters away from CFC being closed and the thread starters threatened with banning- specifically a thread begging a revival of the 'Poly NES scene.

    That's why it needs to be a competition.

    CFC won't back down from a formal challenge from Apolyton.

    Sounds like a challenge!

    So what will it be? Four on four, 'Poly v. CFC?

    A higher player cap than that, I think. So team CFC will have more players in all likelihood, but the catch is that they will be in closer quarters and there will be more people for them to keep in agreement. I'm also toying with the idea of having team specific updates and some individual nation missions, i.e. a little more guided in the setup. Open ended in how it ends, of course, but a few premade options for conflict.

    Just a thought, but what if going out of character for your nation can result in SEVERE penalties from the nation's population, for example at set up

    Nation of Red Durango
    Player: Metaliturtle
    Economy: Crappy
    Education: High
    Tech Level: Modern
    Military: Small
    Population: 4,000,000
    Population opinions:
    Offensive War: "Hell no! We won't go!" -2 army size
    Defensive War: "Nobody picks on us and gets away with it" +4 army size in country, +10 production if mobilization called for by leader.

    Population opinions can change with tech level, education, etc.

    Essentially we should make it so that grossly unexpected actions (i.e. I no00kd j00 n00bzorz!) doesn't happen. perhaps increased technology, economy and or education would decrease people's willingness to go to war, but increase their appeal to NPC nations that would join a nation that has remained friendly to them, so countries could grow that way.

    Even beginning from scratch, this system could work well if refined, this is just my $0.02

    I'm not sure yet, but I'm leaning strongly towards ahistorical. Technology is going to generally lie somewhere around early-mid 1800s.

    Rules are being worked out. It would help to know how many players there will be.

    I'm looking mainly at two options:

    1. Ahistorical early industrial.

    2. Fatherland
