(not sure how good of an idea this is, but I might as well give it a shot.)

BASIC IDEA
In this thread, you choose a civilization to RP as, and basically just rule your country and make important decisions and stuff, like engaging in wars, passing laws, etc. You just choose a leader that ruled your country (e.g. George Washington or Abraham Lincoln for America or Kim Jong-il/Kim Jong-un) or you can play as yourself. There's not a list of civilizations to choose from, as you can choose whichever one you want. However, only one player can play as a single civilization. I'll provide a list of taken civilizations. The game takes place in present day, and operates on real time. Once 5 people are signed up, the game will start, but sign-ups will also be open for more players.

RULES
1- No godmodding. Negotiations and wars between players can not be determined by a single player. Example: Someone playing as Japan cannot take Moscow without the Russian player's consent, even if they are at war.
2- Don't overpower yourself. Don't create fifty million troops to march towards Cairo at once, for example.
3- Don't set up cities in another player's territory without their consent. Camps are fine, for when you're at war and stuff, but irl, would the Iraqi let the Americans set up a major city in Iraq?
4- If you want to quit, that's fine. Just provide a reasonable explanation for why your civilization fell (like the story of the Aztecs), or give another player permission to take over your capital (this works best if you're at war with them).
5- Please no choosing leaders for your country that are leaders of another e.g.- J.F.K controlling France or Napoleon Bonaparte controlling Mexico.
6- Understand your leader can't live forever (unless you yourself are the ruler). Every once in a while I'll progress to the next year just to speed up a little, and once this starts getting old, Benjamin Netanyahu won't live to be 152 years old. Once your first leader has died, you may either choose another leader of that country to be your president, or make up one.
7- To show you read the rules, include this quote at the end of your registration-
"The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."- Martin Luther King Jr.

Registration Sheet:

Really quite simple, isn't it (no need to post that last sentence as part of registration)

Re: Civilization RP

Question: Hypothetically, if I wanted to claim Atlantis...? :p
 
Re: Civilization RP

Hmmm.... good question. Let me think... probably not, considering it's just a legend. If scientists ever discover Atlantis and can prove it, you can play as the Atlantisites??? Is that even a word?

I believe the correct term would be "Atlanteans." :p

Sorry, denied. Read the rules, then you'll know what you did wrong ;)
 
Re: Civilization RP

OH, right, sorry. I read the rules last night, but when I started my sign up, I forgot that bit.

I don't like your quote so I'll put my own. "When life gives you lemons, make apple juice, sit back and watch the world wonder how the hell you did it." -The Internet
 
Re: Civilization RP

@Kona-Chan, @Piximon, @bpj1999 Accepted! I don't really care for the quote a whole ton either- I just went on some site with leadership quotes and that was #1 favorited lol
 
Re: Civilization RP

No, Piximon got Italy. It's part of the same continent, Europe, but it's not part of the United Kingdom, which, if memory serves, consists of Scotland, England, and Ireland.
 
Re: Civilization RP

Oops, don't even know how I thought that lol. I know the difference between Italy and the UK. Thanks for pointing that out (for some reason i thought you got italy, piximon got uk, and bpj1999 was late to get the UK.)
 
Re: Civilization RP

Naw. Egypt is better. What other country is run by children's card games?
 
Re: Civilization RP

Crud, I have my Yu-Gi-Oh facts wrong. Thought it was Japan :/
 
Re: Civilization RP

It was Japan, but in the backstory, Egypt was where the game came from, and card games decided everything there too. Before that, I think it was Atlantis, if memory serves.
 
Re: Civilization RP

I see! No offense (this is actually pretty much completely my fault), but if we talk about Yu-Gi-Oh too much, this will turn into a discussion thread lol
 
Re: Civilization RP

Well technically it wasn't ruled by the card game. The main focus was the game card game was based on. The pharaohs and mages summoned the spirits of monsters. Then while researching in Egypt, Pegasus discovered some tablets and used to idea to make a card game that pretty much took over Japan, and apparently AMERICA!
