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 1973. A Cold War is occuring solar system-wide between the United States of America under President Hubert Humphrey and the Russian Empire under Tsar Nicholas IV and Chancellor Ivan Silayev. They are all effective rulers, but Hubert Humphrey has become President in a moment of national emergency following the assassination of President Robert F. Kennedy, and meanwhile, Chancellor Silayev is arguing with the state Duma over the future of an economic bill.

"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 members 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 1973, 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 mapmaker because often issues arise over "Oh this mapmaker only fixes his country and never fixes Country X because they are at war." Another problem is that no one know the exact stats and everything of the nations. 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) African nations cannot ally with certain other nations.
 * 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.

Complaints and Issues
Where are my colonies in Africa and Guyana; Iberia GRSGov 21:07, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

They're right there on the map... Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:15, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, was thinking the Iberian peninsula was the Balkans for some reason. GRSGov 21:25, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

can you please add me on the map Brazil sasafred12 14:17 (UTC) May 28, 2012

Just as soon as some more nations join. I don't want to make so many maps. If two more nations join, I'll fix the map. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:31, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Ok new map is done. Thanks for joining all! All I need is a player for the Nordic Union and we shall begin! Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:58, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Can you add India and her colonies/vassals/protectorates/etc.?Bobalugee1940 13:43, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Requests
Maybe you could border some color (red, black, etc,) with nations that are hostile? It would help to some players. All I know is, Russia looks at China warily and China looks at Russia warily. Ianian58 01:03, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Black maybe. Also, if you look closely, puppets have a tan border and vassals have a yellow border. Or the other way around. I forget. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:05, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
