Ugh, I hate factbooks. I get hopelessly carried away.

Where are we going to put factbooks and such?

In our NS nations' factbooks area?

I thought we were going to put them all on the forums here for easy access and such...

I could be wrong though

Yeah, we agreed on that earlier in this thread.

If it's not too late to join, I'd love to. This sounds quite fun

From my understanding (after reading the maps thread and backstory and the first few pages of the ooc chat), we're working with late-1700s colonial-era tech. Also from my understanding, the roleplay is about the expanding influence of the Potato Papacy, as played out by actual NationStates states. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll try to keep up with military campaigns should I be accepted, although it's not my strong point. (If we are using NS stats, it would encourage me to actually look at my nation more than occasionally!)

We all founded nations at the same time specifically for this... We'd love to have you, but you'd have a severe handicap, founding a nation so long after the rest of us. Just a word of warning.

Not only that, but our tech is anywhere from 1700 to 1899. Or before 1700 if you have a negative SA score.

Oh, I see. You all founded new nations for the RP. I thought it was based off of existing stats. Your way makes sense, though, and doesn't create unfair advantages. About how large of a handicap are we talking, and how severely would it affect gameplay?

We've been building our nations for a couple months. Picture that handicap.

Am I allowed to see some example nations to see how much the stats difference would be, and if I'd be able to work around them?

Seems manageable enough. Or at least in terms of population. There have been times when I've aggressively played NationStates with my main to build up my stats, and I'm sure I could do the same. It'll be hard, but manageable. Or I can revive an alternate of mine that I haven't touched (if I can remember the password. Do nations continue to gain population and stats when they CTE?)

Do nations continue to gain population and stats when they CTE?

They don't continue to, but the population and stats will be restored, so unless your nation CTE'd early on, you'd still have an unfair advantage.

It did, but it had a population of ~400 million. I can't seem to remember the password for it anyway, so I'll manage. It's only fair to be unfair to those who join late.

Behold: Starchcouver, based off of a breakaway sect of the Church of the Holy Potato. Or something like that; I've yet to decide exact factbook-like details. The region is password-protected so I can't particularly join yet.

Password is reaping

Everything alright, @Crushita?
