Adaptus Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have an idea, lets say rather than jumping into having space bases and stuff, it begins the era for that time. I released a news thread about Adaptus launching the first ever permanent multi-functional space station in orbit, Perhaps it could coincide with this. This marks the start of a new time period, which is also kicked off bye massive change with the oil discovery, which can be discovered by the new space station, and with the help of the new drilling techniques can be reached. This could in turn lead to the discovery that this is the only oil deposit left on Europa, and coincided with other new breakthroughs, such as propulsion systems, and new anti-radiation equipment could make for an amazing RP, also the last main point is the discovery of a rare variant of uranium far less volatile, yet with a more advanced ability of normal uranium on the moon, for the sake of argument lets call it Uranium M1 (UM1), which can one, lead to a second major breakthrough in space propulsion, and two a brand new resource for the world to fight over. If that's fine, I'll be happy to open the whole thing up. Link to comment

Vocenae Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I was thinking while replaying Medal of Honor Allied Assault and I had an idea. Instead of one giant leap forward, we could set like an event timeline that we follow and move ahead more slowly, like we have the Oil War as the starter that occurs maybe two years from now and we set that RP as the EVENT of the time. Other RPs can occur but the Oil War would be the pace setter. Once that ended we jump ahead five or whatever number of years, have another major RP as our pace setter, and so on and so forth. This gives enough time to have other stories going and gives us the option to 'go back' and create or finish RPs set in that time while moving forward in time and technology. Link to comment
Adaptus Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 that seems like it would be a little to complicated, and also people won't have complete RP freedom until the whole time-line had been RPed. Link to comment
Vocenae Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sigh. This is getting sadly ridiculous to the point where I just want to throw my hands up and leave. Ok. We have a timeline. On this timeline there are major events every five or so years. In between these events are empty spaces of time. Other RPs could take place during this time and carry on for however long they needed to. This way we still move forward in history and five years is more than enough time for individual RPs to start and end. The events are just there to help us keep moving forward in time and technology.

Ide Jima Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Let's just keep it simple, try out a 10 year jump with Adaptus's Oil RP idea. If it fails, let's just file it away somewhere. We have to do something to increase forum activity - and this would be far better than nothing. Link to comment
Social Democratic Confederation Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 10 years of internation peace and tranquility while the civil wars end... simple enough. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Where are all of the oil-rich areas in the region, anyways? Does anyone have enough of a clue about these things (and geography) to be able to work out where they might be? I know me and SDC (with his nation in its old incarnation) were planning something of a war over the oil near him, near a small Tagmatine military base which was my equivalent of Gibraltar.

Adaptus Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 I was going to say in one of the northern colder oceans, like the oil in the North Sea. Link to comment
Tal Shiar Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well if you look at it we can still have this oil rp and not have to fast forward. In past region when we faced this same crisis we just continued to rp. We had to just grit our teach and trudge on through while at the same time recruiting new players to replace inactive ones. While it doesnt help that most of the current active players are in a civil war as it prevents them from interfering in others business. Which is why i think that this oil rp would work. PErsonally i think we shouls have a few oil deposits where certain regional people can control it from their sphere of influence and then try and bump into others spheres. Link to comment
Adaptus Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Having one new oil depot is the main reason why we will have the war, who gets to own the single largest oil deposit in the world? this is where the fighting begins. Link to comment
Tal Shiar Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Ok so we would be fighting for the arabia of oil finds. K that still works. But realistically there would be more than one decent oil depost in the world. After all its all about location. From my perspective even if the largest oil find ever was in the north i would be more interested in that one closer to me. While everyone goes for the large one i would rather focus my energy on monopolizing the smaller one near me and fight only one or two people over it rather than take on all of Europa for one. Not to say that I would never eventually go for the large one, but it would make sense for me to go for the closer one first. Link to comment
Adaptus Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 this was why we were setting it in the future, it was supposed to be the last oil deposit left in Europa. Link to comment
Tal Shiar Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well looks like i need to send out the navy then. be prepared! Link to comment
Social Democratic Confederation Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Where are all of the oil-rich areas in the region, anyways? Does anyone have enough of a clue about these things (and geography) to be able to work out where they might be? I took a year of geology (not the crap taught in public schools, a real class), and could make up a rough estimate of where deposits might be located. That is, if I could find that geographical map of the region... Link to comment
Vocenae Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 This map is outdated nation-wise but here it is. Although I'm not expert I'd say the most proper locations would be in the Byzantine Sea and other sounthernly waters. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...pic=1967&st=270 Here's a post by O with suggestions where regional resources should be located. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...pic=1967&st=285 Link to comment

Social Democratic Confederation Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Well, someone should go out and shoot that rail into the water now... SDC won't get involved in an oil war. Link to comment

Social Democratic Confederation Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) The former refers To Adp's idea of using railguns to drill deeper for oil; the latter... well, you go ahead and get your boyz all shooted up, I'll just wait for you all to destroy yourselves then I'll claim all the empty land Edited November 18, 2007 by Social Democratic Confederation (see edit history) Link to comment
