Dawn of a New Era (OOC/Sign Up Thread)
Game Thread is now up
https://www.3commandobrigade.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=1879A power shift is emerging. The fall of the Soviet Union has only left one superpower left, with a large surge of political changes happening around the globe. Although George H. W. Bush has declared a "New World Order". It will be tricky for many nations to adjust their foreign policies to adapt to this new world. Many nations will attempt a route of peace, but others may still become a dangerous aggressor in world politics.
China is a growing power, with their new leader Jiang Zemin pushing for economic reforms to bring the people of his nation to prosperity and out of poverty. The Russian Federation, although newly formed, can still be a formidable foe with its remaining military strength, but the failing economy of the nation will tell what occurs of its future.

Now, most of you guys are a bit confused about this post. You be all like, "whay is mackerel crazy?", to which I respond, I am partially sane thank you very much. Anyway this is just more of an experiment run of a forum nation game. I have explained this to a few people already, and its fairly simple. Think of it as a role playing game, but you are in charge of running a nation, like hearts of iron or whatever. I will post some extra stuff for guiding how I want things to be formatted, but because this is a sign up thread for whoever wants to claim a nation, feel free to do so. I will not be able to actively monitor the thread this weekend, since I am stuck on a school retreat, but after that we will see how the world ends up.
My justification for doing this is simple. This is for just seeing how bad we can mess up our world, and for any mission makers to become inspired by events that may occur and make missions off of the events. I will create random events for us to follow, but I will try to follow history to a degree so that way I don't have historical chimpanzees hoping on my back and scratching me with furious anger, and of course it would be hypocritical for me to do stupid stuff like that, a history buff myself.
INSTRUCTIONS
So here is how its gonna run, for now I will be the only moderator for the game, but may need to appoint more if necessary. I will use a random generator to determine the outcome of events, and I will approve of actions you make, not in relations with each other, but world affecting events such as a Russian Peacekeeping force being deployed to Serbia, or the United States invading Iraq. Once again, I will try to keep it in a realistic context, so rebels probably wont beat off a professional army in the African jungle. But players in the nation game of course can negotiate and interact with one another, whether trying to stop WWIII on the United Nations Security Council or making treaties/investments with one another. Please dont be a retarded leader though, and no Null, North Korea doesn't have the capacity to nuke Florida and take over Disneyland, you twat.
Now below you will see a map, I filled out some of the countries with colors, because they may be taken quickly, and I would personally recommend someone taking control of them. Nations not under control of other players will still interact, but think of it like me acting out the role of the AI in ArmA.

Now for signing up for nations, of course its handy dandy, but I want you to follow a format that I will post below.

Here are some basic stuff stuff you may want to know as well about messaging other players:
To United Kingdom
From Canada
We wish purchase 30 Centurions to add to our arsenal
(The message above I made up is a specific statement that anyone is allowed to see, but if you want to address the world, just replace To ______ with
General Statement)
If the message is secret such as back hand deals, it would look like this
To North Korea
From United States
*Secret*If you are willing to disband your nuclear program, we may be able to offer some gold in exchange to bring value to your currency, what do you say?
(The message above is what you would see for a super sneaky message, but if you forget to put that, it could be counted against you as someone intercepting your plans or whatever)
I know its a bit of information to fill out, but 1, we will see how many wanna do this, and 2 because its first claims just state your claim on a nation then fill out the information as best as you can.
Protip: Nuclear Exchange = Game Over
