Nationstates revitalisation - Page 2

Okydoky, lets get down to the nitty gritty before we start wasting Max's cyberspace with people jumping the gun. These are the names I can come up with. Add whatever you think is necessary. after enoguh discussion I'll post a poll on the top names and that will be decided. Once thats done we can bicker over the infrastructure of the new region and/or incorporation of the old region. I suggest we don't create this region until all the above is specified so as to keep confusion to a minimum. My favs have a * :

New Apolyton
*Neo Apolyton (Neopoly for short on the forum?)
Apolyton X (Apolyton++?)
Apolytonia (ugh)
*New Apolyton Regional Continent (NARC? I like abbreviations)
Post Apolyton Confederacy of Much Appreciated Narcisism (PAC MAN?)

Apolyton 40,000

New Apolyton
*Neo Apolyton (Neopoly for short on the forums)
Apolyton X (Apolyton++?)

Apolyton Redundant Socialist Endeavour Healing Oppurtunist Liberal Endeavours (Arsehole)

GeneralTacticus · August 21, 2003, 04:28

I have to say, that's the first time I've seen a double post with a seven minute interval between the two posts...

Frozzy · August 21, 2003, 04:49

I'll say.

GeneralTacticus · August 21, 2003, 04:51

Getting back to the real topic - I like Neo Apolyton/Neopoly, myself...

Drogue · August 21, 2003, 05:02

I'll go for Neo Apolyton too. I'll PM Dan again, and ask about the Mod, it's been a while now. We need a mod

Whaleboy · August 21, 2003, 17:15

Neo Apolyton is good, but realistically, if we are going to have to do this once a year, surely Apolyton II or Apolyton part Deux is a better idea.

Urban Ranger · August 22, 2003, 04:31

I don't think it will survive another year, the current one isn't that old.

aahz_capone · August 22, 2003, 06:57

If it survives a year, then Max will probably revamp the game with more variables etc. so we won't have to deal with Apolyton MCXXIV. Otherwise it might die a slow death.

And anyway, with a password protected region we won't have morons from the chaos regions of cyberspace filling it up with crap. And the players that have survived till now aren't likely to give up, all the lowfiber types have been weeded out.

[No one look at me please, I had a moment of insanity!]

Wait a minute, once a year?!

Whaleboy · August 23, 2003, 13:50

Well, we have been at this for about a year now, more or less, so its reasonable to assume that Apolyton II will become like Apolyton I, so we'd need to do this again. I dont see how its a problem though, once a year is hardly a major deal. Nonetheless, the naming thing isnt a problem, Neo Apolyton is good for me!

I'm going to make the region now, and a nation to go into it!

Everyone happy with Neo Apolyton?

Whaleboy · August 23, 2003, 14:15

Ok, I made the region, Neo Apolyton, and put a new nation, "Even Newer Marijuania" into it. Shall I post the password up here, or do people want to pm me, asking for it, I send it back?

MattH · August 23, 2003, 20:42

Please post it. I'd love to join in on this one.

GeneralTacticus · August 23, 2003, 20:43

Post it. Is 'Even Newer Marijuania' going to be the nation you use for RPing, or just a placeholder?

Jack_www · August 23, 2003, 20:48

I dont see how starting over is going to make things better. First off many nations in Apolyton are pretty much equal. It makes no sense to me and I am not going to give up any of my nations. I want to conitnue to role play with Jackson and I dont want to start over or go to Apolyton II and have this region die out. I dont see how it will make anything better.

Mr. President · August 23, 2003, 22:17

You know what the real answer is? Someone has to find / make a better game with a better system.

Frozzy · August 24, 2003, 02:26

Simcountry?

Mr. President · August 24, 2003, 03:01

SimCountry might be a possibility, I suppose. Don't you have to pay for some types or versions or settings or some such?

aahz_capone · August 24, 2003, 03:43

So have we decided yet if everbody needs new nations in neopoly? And whats the pass word?

Neo Apolyton is good name and the New Pavesia will be there at 1st September.

But I still can't get it why we should do this every single year, I thought this was a way to bring us all to same line?

Whaleboy · August 24, 2003, 11:04

Sorry, password is:

(Dont ask)

Well we dont have to. I suppose the game would have been vastly improved by then.

Jackson: The idea is that smaller nations will be more dynamic, and allow newer people to come in (though we'll have to get a bit more establised before lifting the password etc (balance of power

). Besides, you can still RP in Apolyton I, you may as well join Neo Apolyton as well!

Its the nation I will RP with from this point on. All of my nationstates RPing will be done from this point on with ENM in Neo Apolyton. I'll leave Marijuania to rot, or donate it to the highest bidder

.

You can join as of now of course, the 1st Sept date was just a guide. I recommend all create a nation and join, but you can still keep your old ones of course.

Needless to say, as this is a new RP "world", I assume there is no interaction between old nations and new.

More protectorates!

Seriously, what should we do RP-wise with our current nations? Some of us don't want to abandon them totally. If the Apolyton region isn't going to be active RP wise, only the Neo-Apolyton region, then I will of course make a new nation for the new region, but I'd be exercising the Marmo Bloc's standing invite from the Meritocracy to join them (We have a totally seperate treaty with them to the rest of you. Mwahahaha.

) while I was at it.

aahz_capone · August 25, 2003, 04:25

I'm going to pretend that my new nation is in a parallel universe and the beginnings of my old nation, collonized on new shores by oldnation sliders that got their minds whipped and thrust back in time during a universe shift by unexplained phenomena in the space-time continuum!

GeneralTacticus · August 25, 2003, 04:27

My three nations (already created) are being RPed as having emerged from a collapsing empire (I'll be posting up the details later tonight). If anybody else wants to run with that RP and add their nation in, they're welcome to.
