Well, I don't really expect it to work on a forum, but I do have an idea. If you or somebody else doesn't mind the work, they could make such a box in graphic format and then post the image on the forum.

I'd do it if I had the know how or programs necessary, alas that is not the case...

The easiest way to do it is to find a wiki where you can experiment a bit, make the box there, and then take a screenshot of that. Then crop the screenshot in Paint or any other image editing program, and then you can post it. Even if you can't, I'm sure that somebody else can do it. Would this be like the Wikipedia ones where there are flags representing for each nation and all?

I could do that in 5 seconds flat. Alls I need is the code.

The combatants should be question marks too. <_<

Also, there will be a victor, not "disaster", regardless if it is or not...a pyrric victory is still a vioctory.

And this should sim;ply be the World War.

Now I tried using them on NS wiki... didn't work. Had to log into to real wiki and do it there. Bug or feature?

[Edit]

As for world war, can't we just smash JAUST and the Muslim Brotherhood together and see what happens?

I mean seriously. Get that fight going. And bam, inter-continential war invovling most of the world's major players.

With the world's main men tied up and kicking the **** out of each other, any mad man with a plot can have their day in the sun. Zolony/Scythirus attack their neighbours with no-one to hold them back - no fancy RP motives needed, they're evil and opertunisitic. SPECTOR takes advantage of war to gain power and weapons. The Order sets more conflicts in motion and drag things out to make the damage as bad as possible. Struggling Christians unite to form a new world power. Nag Ehgoeg (and nations like it) ally with whomever is convieniant at the time.

All we need for a world war is for the Order and JAUST to come to blows, and for everyone with a motive to attack someone else to have the balls to do it.

You need to put the infobox template up on NSWiki. Which doesn't work because the template's code has stuff that requires another template to be applied, and so on and so forth.

That wouldnt be a war, so much as it would be me getting raped.

However, keep your eyes on Europe. :gnarkgnark:

JAUST wont fight an unwinable conflict. If they feel like they are evenly matched or can otherwise take on their opponent, they may go to war..but that set up was just messed up.

You know that the Order likes nothing more than a desperate military alliance. You'd totally get support from other nations to fight against the Islamic war machine...

Would we now? Interesting...something to think about...

Now I know its Order territory, but any chance the Panama Canal would be attacked?

I don't see why the Order couldn't be attacked.

That said... I think we need a rethink of our world war based on recent happenings in Europe (and not just CE).
