Private Posts: 44 Group: Members Member #480 Joined: September 5, 2008	Can I get some OOC info on this please? I wanted to know if the end of it has been decided. If so, when? Also, even though its a world war, Im sure there are active(logs in at least 1 in 4-5 days) countries out there who are not involved. Its quite hard to find these countries, so I have a request. Can these countries please list themselves here(or anyone else list them here for me please?) Alright, I know I mgiht be requesting a little effort from someone, but its quite boring to kinda just watch people dying in a war, so Im making post-war plans, and I need help. So, hopefully I get helped out here, positively. Thanks! :D

So far different conflicts are staying more or less insulated from one-another, only with the Dominion's existence connecting them. On that note, I feel as though the general appeasement a lot of people are showing towards Dominion antics that don't involve them directly is also leading to further likelihoods of a balanced world war not being able to take place. If WMD's set up to be the 'bad guys' then... in all honesty... that means they should topple at some point. As everything in NSWR has tended towards fragmentation since the school year started IRL, it's harder to move things properly so they can be toppled. Every little move that the international community appeases brings them one step closer to clinching a victory in a huge world war. The thing is, since I've been recognizing this I've been trying to broker deals wherever I can to ensure that political, economic, and military winds drift away from the Dominion. My current government has been working hard to ensure an Ulganian future post-Dominion conflict, but hasn't all out said "We're anti-Dominion"... I'd rather take the official stance when I can make it via manifesto with a handful of countries alongside. If more people do something like that across the continents, we can have a real world war with a real sense of balance. But since I don't have that power over other players, I can at least try to talk to as many as I can (which many of you have seen). In terms of OOC info, you can get the general lowdown on the WMD in their personal forum, and most of the active war topics involve the Dominion. If anyone really bothered to digest what I just wrote and are willing to, you know, get going with as a unified group against the Dominion (OOC right now of course) to form a coalition and put forth a manifesto, then I'd be willing to help head it with my government when the time comes.

But, we would lean to Dominion side, because we are even more fiercely Republican, and quite anti-mornachaic, and quite enough anit-theocratic. And in those areas, we might need to join hands with the Dominion. So in a way, we are quite neutral, but leaning to Dominion. Any way that I can be involved?

The Foremost Intellectual Badass Posts: 3,893 Group: Map Makers Member #445 Joined: May 27, 2008	I'm kinda against Dominion too. Sorta using it towards my own IC ends. Allied with them because of Asia and I'd like to keep my island from being blown sky high, and because Kasnyia occupied me for a bit and I've got a score to settle IC there. I'd probably go against the Dominion one way or another given the chance. Even in subtle ways. Just as soon as I earn their trust enough to get them to remove these self-destruct things on my ships and planes. :dry:

Private Posts: 44 Group: Members Member #480 Joined: September 5, 2008	Well, I'hv gotten my part. I might be entering the war some time later next month due to RL issues. But still, I would love to get info on non-warring states.

Dominion will topple at some point. Not soon, but its definately not permanent. As for the grand spectrum, the various fronts will tie in together eventually, especially in Eurasia and possibly Africa. Only the Americas seem to be a bit removed and thats more due to the fact that Scy isn't around right now than anything else. As for you getting a coalition, I'd help but Kasnyia is busy trying to launch espionage campaigns against Gassel, and doesn't have enough military strength to be all that beneficial. That said, the Dowager Empress would be only too happy to help you out in other ways. And Telosan, do note that trying to play both sides against the middle, while understandable, may lead you to just being attacked by everyone.

Happened before. Well I guess I'll stick with Dominion untill its dying days. Maybe do a few non-Dominion things that don't really have any effect on Dominion. I could ask fro WMD military support and instigate another war in America. Maybe get N America involed this time, I see there's some Dominion places around there.

Field Marshal Posts: 4,727 Group: Members Member #427 Joined: March 29, 2008	I'll get involved with the world war when I need to. Ireland has its own problems, so unless the Dominion invades it's staying out, but being that the ONS that protects it is also in Syria anyways, I guess it'll be indirectly involved. I'm sure there will be a clash in the Middle East eventually, and Syrian ONS forces will get involved.

Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	Speaking of post-World War RPs, anyone have an idea what major city could be used as a place of international justice that isn't affiliated with a major player from the war itself? I need me a Nuremberg stand in.

Captain Posts: 1,356 Group: Map Makers Member #271 Joined: August 20, 2006	Well there is always Arrakan. Draxis is unaffiliated with an major powers and intends to stay that way. Its got its own issues to sort out. The war in russia will probably be the closest it gets to direct involvement in the war.

As of now, the Amishland capital of Dusseldorf is the only truely neutral area apart from Helmetia (which hasn't offered) within Europe. Which leads me to another question, should there be one uber trial or one per region to take care of all captured war crooks? Cuz then I can suggest a city per region....

Does the Empire count as neutral, pro, or anti at this point? Obviously I should know the answer, but its been some time since I've been able to RP or chat much, so I'm honestly not sure where I'm supposed to be :( If its neutral "enough" than I would suggest Alexandria, Carthage, or Jerusalem, for trials.

Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	So long as you stay out of the war as a participant (being a victim would not matter), I could see Jerusalem or Alexandria being used for trials in the Mid East (or if we decide to have only one uber trial, one of the choices along with Dusseldorf)

And during their down time, attendees could enjoy the many entertainment facilities Esternarx has to offer, which include opium dens, hashish parlours, and of course, the finest brothels the world has to offer.
