A Plea from WE

Hello everybody,

I bet by now your sick of all the other forum links being posted on here. Sorry to say, I'm going to be posting another one.

The forum is Western Europe. It was the first forum I ever RPd on, and it's similar to this one in many ways- its based of nationstates, has a long history of about 5 years, and has several tightly knit members. However, much unlike this one, Western Europe was badly damaged by an invisionfree forum crash. All of the forums on server 1 lost their data, and as such about 3 years were lost to the dogs. In addition to this, all RPs that were in place at the time died as well. Invisionfree hoped to restore the files that were lost, but never did. Western Europe never recovered.

Now a few members remain, with many others doing nothing but occasionally looking in its direction. Myself and a couple other members, however, are trying to bring Western Europe back to life. While I don't expect massed sign up for Western Europe, I'd like to hope that at least a couple people decide to join.

Here is the link to the forum. I hope some of you at least consider to join.

I know I won't have too much time to RP actively (my RP is lagging both here and at Dawn of Empires), but I'm always a sucker for a new RP game. So I will consider joining.

Any advice? What all should I do to start? Also, on the map, the white regions are free, is that how it works? Does my nation have to be in the specific region? Do I need to use my nation's name as the in-game name?

Well the first thing you ought to do is go to the map room thread and request a plot. Any white plot is available, yes, so just list the name of the plot you would like. Basically, unlike how unclaimed territory can be whatever you want it to be here, unclaimed territory in WE has governments tha just don't do anything. That way they put up at least a little bit of defense, and it makes expansion sort of tough.

I believe they have axed the region rule since activity went down. In fact:

Solysp
 
Hmm. Well, obviously we would prefer if you were in the region, but for the moment I don't see why you can't RP anyways. If I recall though, you will be barred from voting in any elections unless you have a NS nation in the region under the same name as your forum name, but other than that (and maybe the military thing), you are welcome to do whatever. The Map room is here, post there or contact me somehow (pm, MSN, AIM, whatever), and I'll sort you out.

Welcome to the forum.

No, thats an old one. The new one is in the quote I posted. The forum Map room located in the "General" board has it stickied.

Not to counter your attempt to save that forum by any menas, but have you tried convincing some of them to come over here? As you say the two forums are very much alike....

I'd actually be interested in it. During the first "dispora" of members, I brought over Umojen, Konosha, and a couple of others. I believe Konosha is the only one who's remained on from that attempt, but I never really reached out to the veteran crowd from WE.

What is your name on that forum? Also, when I request a map spot, should I provide a link to my nation on NS?

That would be helpful, yes.

I'm Hetgharia on there. I used to play Caronicilia, and just got the name change recently. I'm not currently colored in on the map because there was a restart, but I plan to be back and located in Surulia.

Umojen was the one who changed his name to Kriegsreich right? What ever happened to him?

Excellent :D. Glad to someone came on. Seeing as we are both Orthodox (me being of Russian culture,) perhaps we could hold a meeting to get the ball rolling?

Sure, good idea. Do I have to get my nation approved or anything? Should I wait til I'm added to the map, or can I get started on a nation description thread?

You can go ahead and begin, no need to wait for the map maker.

Also, I'll try and post a start to the conference.

Are we able to "spiritually unite" WE with NSWR by importing WE concepts to this forum?

Indeed.

If this forum is going to be revived primarily by our members... then they're going to lose a lot of their own identity and more or less become NSWR v2.

Far better, IMCO, for their remaining members to bring what was good about their forum to us.

Great :D.

I think that them coming over here would be great, but I don't quite know who would be up for it. If everyone is okay with it, I'd extend the invitation.

Cerdone: I encourage you to extend the invitation over there. I would welcome any roleplayers who decide to join our forum.

Oh, and I'm sorry to say that after some consideration, I don't think I'll be playing over there. The fact that they want me to move a nation into that region is a deal-breaker for me since I don't have any I want to move, and I don't want to create a new nation.
