User:Scrawland Scribblescratch/Universal (Map Game)

Hello and welcome to the Universal Map Game. In this world, technology is light years ahead of ours in the year of 2000. A Cold War is occuring solar system-wide between the United States of America under President Bill Clinton (to be replaced by George Bush in the next year) and the Russian Empire under Tsar Alexander VI and Chancellor Vladimir Putin.

"Exactly how large are these nations?" you might be wondering? The answer is that a vast majority of the Solar System is under the reign of these two nations.

Behold! Now you have the chance to play as nations in this universe and to compete in the race for land--land that can be found all around the Sun.

And please, please obey the rules!

Rules

 * 1) Be plausible of course! We don't want America taking half the Russian Space Empire in two months!
 * 2) Players can have only one main nation--however, they can play independently as Dominions, Commonwealths, Vassals, Colonies, Outposts, and Territories. (IE: The British player also has to post for Canada.)
 * 3) There are some nations: America, Russia, Britain, France, Iberia, Germany, China, Japan, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. To be these nations, you have to have an approval of a majority of the active mods at that time.
 * 4) Everytime you expand, you have to say in which direction(s) and by how much.
 * 5) To become a mod, you need an approval of the majority of the existing active mods.
 * 6) Algorithms will be done by the League of Mathematicians. If you need an algorithm done, make a request here.
 * 7) The word of the mods is law, unless you can prove them conclusively wrong.
 * 8) Anyone who completes x number of offense will be banned for x^2 - x turns. This rule only applies after two offenses/ (IE: 3 offenses=9 - 3 ban, 6 turn ban) After a person has commited 10 offenses, they receive a monthlong ban. More than fifteen bans will results in eternal banning unless the said offensor is trialed here. 3/4 of the mods/jury member must agree to find the offensor guilty or innocent.
 * 9) Player can control one nation only unless they are playing for one of the nations in Rule #3, in which case they can have two nations.
 * 10) Turns are in quarter years.
 * 11) The game shall start in 1993, as said above. The game will end when we reach the present day and shall have a timeline based on it after that. Say we end on October 6, 2012. On January 1, 2014, we shall play the year 2013 and every year we will be doing the same thing.
 * 12) There will be an algorithm for pc vs. pc wars.
 * 13) One turn per day. This can be updated to two if the game progresses fast enough.
 * 14) With regards to implausibility, use your head. Mods have the right to cross out implausible moves. Mods must state their reason as to why they strike something out, even if it is painfully obvious. When a mod states their reason, that is the end of the story unless the player(s) in question can prove the mod wrong.
 * 15) Most nations will have a hard time setting up new bases and colonies on other planets/moons/asteroids because almost every acre of land in the whole Solar System is claimed.
 * 16) I am the only mapmae because often issues arise over "Oh this mapmake only fixes his country and never fixes Country X because they are at war." If I find someone I trust, I will let them be mapmaker.
 * 17) Game will be archived every 20 turns.
 * 18) To establish a new colony, you must first build a base.
 * 19) Players cannot edit their turns once they post it unless directed by a mod.
 * 20) The United States cannot currently have any alliances until World War One begins.
 * 21) Random Number Generators must be done by one of the Mathematicians.
 * 22) Mod Events must be done by mods and be proposed on the talk page. Justification for the event is required.
 * 23) Propose new rules on the talk page.
