Hey, eh, be careful, Xen is German, and he pays the fees for hosting this forum. So basicly it is a German (again) who pays for it :razz:
You would expect a Frenchman to pay for 1/3 so that they could claim to be equal partners :drool:

It happens. Sometimes I get the urge to play, other times I don't. I'm just taking a break since MM is going in dry on me. :frown:
Then again, having a 53% Win-Rate tends to do that. XD
Damn, you're good. I had reached an upper Japanese Battleship, but I kept losing more than I won.

Yeah, the Japs are an odd one at that. I like the devastating guns and range, however it's weird to me. Currently on the Kongo, I love the high superstructure of Japanese ships.

Hey, what's up, guys.

I'm Kannex, an American, though I'm kind-of what you'd call a weaboo for European culture and whatnot. I've learned German and now I'm learning Mandarin, so my RP country is a mix between the two cultures. I initially wanted to find a role-play forum in German but this is good too. c:

Obligatory second post because I can't see anything else otherwise.

willkommen. Haben Sie das gelesen?-

PLEASE take time to read these and also check out the map. PLEASE take time to explore the forum to understand how we operate around here. From the looks of your news post, you may not understand that we operate in the 1950's here. Please take that under consideration. Additionally, take note that we are completely separate from NS and operate as our own entity. Thus certain things from NS such as population, budget etc will not translate very well. Again, welcome and please take time to both read those links and explore the forum.

Done; I was sleep-deprived yesterday when I read the tutorial and I didn't seem to catch the 1950s tidbit... I hope there is no problem with my using German and Chinese, two RL languages, here.

We try to keep a certain form of ethnic clustering, you can see that in the map thread. But as long as you give some back-story about how these pretty different cultures became one nationstate I see no problem with it. German colonists in Touyou? Chinese colonists in Germania? :o:

Are we pissing off the Kuomintang or the AfD today? :dance: Anyway it's a very original idea, I certainly like it. It's good to have new players.
[MENTION=2014]Kannex[/MENTION] if you need a signature, flag or CoA I could be of some help.

Both the Chinese and the Germans were colonists in Kannexan history, so I don't mind either Touyou or Germania. c:

@Propontine: What's a CoA? And what kind of signature should I have? :eek:

Coat of Arms, your national emblem. That's entirely up to you ;) You can have postcard from your nation or an image from your nation with your flag as a transparent layer over it. You could even have an old poster for some product.

I'll think of something, but I think I'll focus on the RP in the meanwhile. c: Thanks.

So how do I start?

I'm watching Mad Men to get a feel for the 1950s.

Well you could start by doing an internal RP. So you pretty much show the everyday working sof your government, how legislation and executive decisions are made, your reactions to foreign events, the daily lives of your people etc. You could also (once you apply for a map spot) start doing some diplomacy with nearby states and then with nations you think you're ideologically and economically compatible with across the world. :D

Hmm, I need 20 in-character posts before I can apply for a map spot, right?

Hello! I'm a 16-year-old American guy.

I joined NationStates last year, after searching for a game just like it, I've always bee interested in Nation/City simulation.

I tend to run my country as realistically as possible given my limited knowledge. Glad to be here in Europe, the actual closest continent in my fictional country.

I personally am into tech, music, and video editing :D Glad to be here.

Welcome to Europe, mate! We're getting lots of Americans over here so you'll fit right in! It's also nice to get some other young ones over here, I was starting to feel like a baby ;)

Correct. Sadly many new people only stay for a short amount of time which gives the mapmakers headaches. 20 RP posts is considered enough commitment to warrant a mapspot.

[MENTION=2015]The Hurricane Islands[/MENTION]: Welkom in Europa. Most of us started RP'ing at your age, so if you are hindered by 'limited knowledge' feel free to ask any questions you have. We have all been there ;)
