GENERAL EARTH RP GUIDELINES

RULE #1: Don't exaggerate, use common sense, and have fun.

ERP, or "Earth RP", is a political simulation game in which the player takes on the role of the leader of an existing nation, or forms a new nation. Beginning from January 1, 2012, the game consists of all pre-existing borders, however many settings have been altered to ensure fair, unbiased play. The Earth timeline as we know it ended December 31, 2009. Over the next two years, the countries within your starting borders have had either political or religious shifts - or perhaps they stayed as they already are. RP a brief two-year history and start off anew.

Time
The simulation begins on January 1 2012 in ERP time, progressing on a real life to ERP time scale of 1 real life day to 15 RP days. Every RP month is considered to have 30 days for simplicity.
Over time, further technology may be advanced, borders change, armies grow... anything, really.

Geography
Earth exists as it does currently in real life, and always will exist that way. Human geography of the continents and oceans will remain consistent. Nation's political names may be altered, however in order to avoid confusion, all cities and other place names will remain consistent. However, although Washington DC will always be referred to as Washington DC, it does not have to remain the capital of that nation.

Land
All nations begin with the preset territorial areas as in real-life. Naturally, these may alter as the game progresses freely. Entire nations can be wiped out, however no area of land should ever become unoccupied. All real-life citizen counts are consistent, naturally however you may wish to RP advancements in these statistics as the game progresses.

Organizations/Treaties
As said before, everything that currently exists in the world exists in this. That includes all organizations like NATO and the EU. Treaties are as standard, like in CNRP or CN itself. But frankly, as long as both parties agree, you can form whatever document you heart desires.

Military
All nations start with the real-life stats of the regions they own, combined. From there, you may make sensible military advancements. If there is a dispute regarding exaggeration, contact a GM and they will resolve the matter.

Technology
All nations started off with equal technology. All modern-day technology existing today is available, and new technology will be allowed to be made at a sensible rate. No god-modding, no lasers, Artificial Intelligence, extravagant robots, no circus on Pluto... you get the idea.

Game Masters
GMs are going to be done the old school way - the new GMs will, at their discretion, pick someone from inside the RP to be a GM to replace them. Our current GMs:

Drakedeath
Sargun
Voodoo Nova

In conclusion, be sensible, don't do anything ridiculous, and don't do anything stupid. We're not going to lay down a ton of restrictions to specify exactly what you can and cannot do, simply refer to the bible of Common Sense and/or Rule #1.

Have fun out there.

Earth RP has returned to the CN forums, due to lack of activity on an off-site forum.

If you'd like to refer to any old topics and RPs that have been made, take a look at the forums that we used. As for any new topics, we request you continue to make them in this forum as we did before the move, and again, in the topic description put 'ERP' somewhere in there, so we can distinguish it from the other posts.

Anyone can feel free to make a map claim in this thread. Enjoy. smile.gif
Shadowsage
Yeah, I'm technically supposed to have Central America, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Why is it the same color as Mexico and the United States?
Drakedeath
ERP is back on-site for the sake of survival.

Edit: Shadow, you were inactive 10 days on the boards. I annexed it
Edit2: And Puerto Rico was already mine.

The Union and Ukraine are now one state under the name of Ukraine. Please keep the Union color. Thank you

I am supposed to have India, and since whatever conquest happened off site, why should I recognize it in this forum? I suggest that ERP resume from its start positions rather than continue from its offsite history which many of us are not aware of.

It was made very clear on multiple occasions, in multiple threads, that we had moved off-site.

Ah, thanks, but I'll stick to regular CNRP for now. happy.gif
Sargun
I hope by "lack of activity" you don't mean the 30+ threads in the past 24 hours.

In any case, The Union is still here, and I am still a GM.
N Reeki
I am quitting and giving Russia to Sarah.

So wait, I can't have my modest claim? sleep.gif
Sargun
Yes, you can. Puerto Rico was his before the annexation, though.

Acca Dacca
Remember that Ukraine, which is now the Union, has the Crimean peninsula as well.

Franz, if your Prussian things are not correct, please make the adjustments for us to scale. Thanks.

OOC: Have you still not been told? There is a 10 day purge rule. You were inactive way over that, thus, Drakedeath purged you. If you want your lands back, you'll have to ask him.

You moved back to these forums, so anybody on the other ones didn't give the ones here the opportunity to respond. Anybody who didn't move over, like Imperator or Vince, can still keep their lands if they want.

It's still the same game Sargun, makes no difference. They chose not to post. Their fault.
Shadowsage
I'm not even going to mention the other nations that have been inactive but, since you didn't make a mistake with them haven't been purged. sleep.gif

I believe this would be a much accurate adaptation of the new borders:

New Australia also owns the Galapagos and northern NZ. Thanks.

Ukraine is now apart of the Union. The Crimean Peninsula is part of Ukraine, thus the Union.

Mael ate you.
V The King
What happened to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia? It's former Yugoslavia plus Bulgaria.

Yeah, I was inactive for a week or so. Haven't had much time to dedicate for this, I'll try to up my activity.

EDIT: And why are people being allowed to claim huge swathes of land (beyond RL borders) and vast colonies? Yeah, "it's ok if they RP blah blah", but we have barely started out - it really limits land for newcomers, particularly useful ones. =/

Already absorbed you, V. The map's a bit old.

For cases like these, what we've done in the past is let you go back there and simply war with the aggressor, essentially liberate that area.

Are protectorates allowed?
If so I would like all unclaimed land in South America to be labeled Latin American Union Protectorate.

No they are not.

I don't guess TheStig might be willing to give me a piece of the Sudan?

Just the portion south of the 1956 Line of Demarcation.

In real life, South Sudan is scheduled to have a referendum for independence in 2011 (as per the "Comprehensive Peace Agreement" between North and South). Along with two or three other northern states. Though they have both been acting as separate entities for quite some time.

It is rather obvious, of course, that you all have already gotten a bit done as far as this RP's history is concerned (and it is also obvious that the mentioned referendum has not yet occurred). So I understand your decision, either way.

Why can't it be pinned with the CNRP map thread? This is very similar to that thread albeit a different RP, so why not?
