CF.net World - A New Type of NG [Interest/Claims/Almanac]

[Tzeentch]

Anybody willing to play a new type of game?

By that, I mean that you don't use points or anything to determine your military or nation, and that you make your posts in the main thread more detailed. Tech level is 2010 level, but without nukes. Here is the map, with my nation in:

http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/attachment.php?attachmentid=99657&d=1270818360


Rules:

We use a claims and almanac thread.

No more than 50% of the world may be claimed by PC nations, except when at least some of the areas claimed are vast wildernesses like Siberia.

No godmodding.

No turning this into a map game.

Try and put some thought and effort into your posts.

Have fun!

I don't understand what is supposed to be different about this proposal.

Also, I don't like the idea of a game-mod taking the first claim.

Is it okay if I take issue with the claims right now?

Like, Insanity, you told us to not make claims of 50% of the world or more-well of course nobody si going to do that. You don't need a rule to explain that. However, what does come to issue is when the person who first proposes the game then claims the whole damn USSR!

I don't know about you (or anyone else), but I think that's a wee bit excessive. If we're going to be playing a game, we should have reasonable claims.

With that said, if the way you were itnending this was a superpower duke-out to the death, then I'm all for it! However, if you were thinking of a small expansion type game, in the classic NG sense, then starting out with the Big Red is nto the way to go. However, assuming that we are doing the former, I will go ahead and make my claim: The United Arab Republic.
