I could hypotheticly agree to this, but I would want a nation of Very Long lived Humans with a lower reproduction rate (oh and pointy ears)

I second the NO F@CKING ELVES, WEREWOLVES, VAMPIRES, ETC.. BS...HUMAN ONLY.

[TexanCowboy]

Nothing that isn't human, at all.

I have been assured I am exempted from the no Marines clause, that said who said anything about elves... Im just asking for geneticly mutated humans that live a realy realy long time (oh and realy like trees).

I'll second liking Mike's idea about what the process for modifying earth might be. I think it might work even better if we get that far that everyone type up their "rigid constraints" ahead of time, and give them to the mods to compile. That way we could just say "sorry, we can't do that due to a rigid constraint" and leave at that, anonymous, so no one would feel the need to argue about it or defend their position. There might be some cases where we'd have to decide to set one aside, but hopefully that would be rare.

I think I also like the idea of, having completed that geographical wrangling, that we might follow a similar turn based storyline setup too, to define in loose terms the world history up to the point we expect to start playing. At the very least, it would be an interesting exercise.

I also suspect that we have near consensus on option 5, with Valles' concerns noted -- hopefully we can figure out a way to satisfy those. At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed though. I think maybe I'd like a roll-call by PM, if everyone doesn't mind. I say by PM so that everyone can feel free to express how they really feel without peer pressure, etc. Please send me your answers to these questions:

1. Are you more interested in continuing to play Nverse3 as it is now, playing a rebooted Nverse4 that starts play approximately in 1885, or playing both at the same time?

If the answer to 1 is that you are interested in an Nverse4, one way or the other:

2. Would you want a power bigger than what you have now, smaller than what you have now, or about the same?
3. Do you already have a concept in mind about what sort of nation you might want to play, or are you in more of a "play it by ear" mode.

If and when we eventualy restart, I want a nation about equivilant in power to what I curently have (seriously after being a big kid who wants to go back to the little table), that said I promised I wouldnt ask for Tolkenesqe items. (and im not asking for elves persay I just want long lived people because as you all know I detest changes of leadership)

1) I am happy to continue to play Iberia in N3.
2) With the above said I think it might be a good idea to set an END DATE for N3 maybe 1930 or something.  So there is an orderly transition to the game instead of the game blowing up over some issue and having to do a new game and deal with bad blood.  Also we need time to sort out the rules / economics ideas.
3) I would like to do 1785 but I am alone in that desire so I will go along with 1885.  I just want the powers to be equal in terms of economic strength.  No small, medium and large to start.  Everyone is a medium power and see what you achieve in the brave new world.
4) Handing our wish list to the mods and having them work it out could work.  Guinness background idea could work.

Roll call answered.

I'd be happy to restart as the CSA... though without anything Mexican in the west- Texas, Oklahoma, NM and Arizona are enough west of The River, than you. If I had to pick something 'ahistoric' for the CSA to possess, it would be Cuba as it's agrarian society would fit into the CSA nicely- though I'd not back down from the opportunity to fight some other power of equal potential for it (though a lop-sided war wouldn't appeal to me at all). I would like a somewhat equal USA to fight with over the river systems, though.

If not, I've detailed my other national ideas in the PM.
