This is 322nd post and counting for me. I'd like to be the Trade Advisor. If not that than the science advisor. Mellian I really want to play this but the problem is I am so busy with high school and my many extra-curricular activities I don't have time to post much besides on weekends. What do you suggest for me?

Oh, and I request if we have a main ally they should be one of these (in order)

1. Zulu (they're the coolest)
2. Iroquois (they're the second coolest)
3. Persia (they're the third coolest)
4. Babylon (they're the fourth coolest)
5. Germany (I speak some German, and I want to do kind of what theguitarrist does for his stories)
6. America (we can relate to them more than we can the other civs in the game)

These aren't for strategic purposes, but just because I said so!

Mellian · October 31, 2002, 13:40

doing a quick post, as i don't have a lot of time...

i will post everything, from updated map, zoom in map of Apolyton with cities (will be placing cities with photoshop, easier and quicker), basic and simple stats on the Apolytonians cities, military sizes (focus on ground units or navy or generally both? keep in mind that the tech level is late-medieval), trade information like basicly how much gold we have and the kind of resources with have on our resource rich Rock continent, diplomatic relations (thinking the Americans with the English as dislike...can say we help the americans in their declaration of independence from the English Empire a while back) and basic tech stats (mainly stating our current options for what to research next then writing listing all we have...some more interesting & realistic techs not historicly part of history is allowed, for fun sake).

any questions? any info requests? etc? well say it now and i will answer while i do the rest tonite after some Gala i am going too...hey, free expensive food :P

play whenever you can. during times you can not, you'll be treated as an non-player character within the game. no point holding the game up because some players are not being able to play too often enough. if you want to prevent other peoplee using your npc self in ways you don't like (they'll have to be within reason, so don't worry about them doing stupid things, lol), can post in the Great Library of your character policies like for example, "i would never settle with this agreement unless i get this and that... when my life is threatened, i'll just run then actually do something about it... continue to nag the mod for more resources on this project and so on.

Sheep · November 1, 2002, 04:21

give me a cool post, maybe a diplomatic postion? Perhaps a Director of Espionage or something? I know I don't have too many posts but tday somethime I should hit 200......

Mellian · November 1, 2002, 10:36

there isn't enough players to prevent one from getting a good position

the Foreign Advisor (which takes care of diplomatic relations) is taken by me.

but you can be the Intelligence Advisor thought

-Mellian

Sheep · November 1, 2002, 10:40

cool just as long as I get to make espionage attempts as the game progresses I am happy. Gotta love propoganda!!

Sheep · November 1, 2002, 11:18

just a quick note to let you all know that the Neses will be moved to new forum in the near future, links will be supplied when this occurs

Mellian · November 1, 2002, 11:24

Okay

remember that we are starting at Late-Medieval...espionage is not very common at that point. But can say the Moderator appointed a Espionage Advisor to create the first intelligence service?

-Mellian

Sheep · November 1, 2002, 11:27

yep okay thats fine with me I will be the Director of Intellegience and Espionage, Liam Sheep, son of Nikos Sheep the great spy...

Easthaven I · November 1, 2002, 22:18

ask MarkG or DanQ to added your old post count to your new account, thats what they done during my suspension, lol

can still get a good position at the moment like Trade Advisor (minister of internal finances), Economy Advisor (Minister of external finances), Cultural Advisor, Commander of National Defence, or some other government or military or whatever position.

Lord Zalzabad · November 2, 2002, 09:49

Darn I have few posts too, but I want to join! If you allow me to I would like to be a Colonel in charge of the capital's garrason. If not, Slave will do

(Why colonel? because Colonels always end up with the power! ie Colonel Kadaffi)

gooberboob · November 2, 2002, 10:23

Metaliturtle is Trade Advisor and I'm the Assistant

civman2000 · November 2, 2002, 10:41

Wait, I thought you were Minister of Finances (Internal Commerce). Is that OK?

gooberboob · November 2, 2002, 12:14

k sure

Mellian · November 2, 2002, 21:54

Minister of Internal Finances is responsible of the Gold the empire as, taxes, and so on.

johncmcleod · November 2, 2002, 23:00

Thanks for putting me on the list, civman, but is it ok for me to be the trade advisor? I'm fine with science advisor, but I like working with other nations. And I'm sort of confused-will we all just sort of add on to the story like the "Let's Creat a Story" threads? Or will there be a story teller and we'll email him ideas and what we want our character to do and say. I'll write my character traits later when I have more time. Also, sorry if you already answered this, but should our characters be funny or serious? Also, what names should our characters be? I'd like to create our own names, but how should they sound like? Should they be like real American names, or just mumbo-jumbo like Julbayo Korbet? Personally, I'd like them to be Latin sounding names, but I don't know. What do you guys think?

gooberboob · November 3, 2002, 02:23

as long as it's not johncmcleod

Sheep · November 3, 2002, 05:24

when is this going to start?

civman2000 · November 3, 2002, 09:20

It already has started: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=66178

johncmcleod, sorry but i can't fit everyone's requests. If everything was constantly changing to fit them it would be too confusing.

But ou can try to get teh trade advisor removed and then replace them

Sheep · November 4, 2002, 04:10

Aren't we supposed to post what our characters are like somewhere. i think this would allow us to post more involved stories if we write on what our characters are thinking, their ambitions and their history....
