[highlight][u]THE GAME IS OPEN. 1 SPOT LEFT.[/highlight][/u]

Welcome to Pixel Island;
[img] http://filesmelt.com/downloader/Pixel_Island.png[/img]

This recently abandoned island has caught the attention of many people and factions. Due to it's untouched condition and access to natural resources it's become a prime target for development. If it's to aid their own nation, escape and create their own or for whatever reason, Pixel Island is for you!

[b]A Quick Note:[/b]

It's complicated, there is alot to it, I over explain things but it's completely needed. No "TL:DR Durrr" you read the entire OP until you understand it, PM me with questions, then you can join or post. Think of it as a big game of Risk or Axis and Allies.

[b]Starter Map:[/b]
[media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/Untamed_Wilderness.png[/media]

[b]What is this?[/b]

To those just entering this thread without a clue, this is Pixel Nations, where you build your own, village, towns and cities from scratch and into advanced nations. You get your own map, you and only you can live here. There are visits from other civilizations as well as war but they're the only exceptions. You build, create, fight, heal, fight some more, build some more until everyone loses interest or there is only one nation left on Pixel Island to claim it as their own.

[b]Rules:[/b]
[highlight]* NO MAGIC OR ROBOTS, Sorry![/highlight]
[i]* GM Rules are followed to the letter, I am the GM, meaning you must listen to what I say, please understand this before joining.
[highlight]* You must PM me your sheet you plan to use, standards are low as I don't give a shit what you do on your own land![/highlight]
* Do not edit others maps without premission.
* Do not extend your map without GM permission, PM me.
* No immature dick armies or structures or anything that encompases shittery.
[highlight]* THE AGE IS MODERN![/highlight]
* War may not be declared until the GM lifts the Safety Timer. This is to prevent someone bumble fucking other people first thing.
* Effort, put effort into your posts.
* There is no declare system unless you have a visitor, otherwise post as many times as you like regardless of others.
* Read the thread fully before joining.
* Rules are subject to change or edit.[/i]

[b]Natural Resoruces, what are those?[/b]

Obviously, with any creature you need to eat, if this be a farm, or fish or whatever, you must eat of course.

Ontop of that, things need materials to be built. Want a house? You need sand for glass and wood for the house it's self. It's a simplified system, I won't expect you to go to the trouble of running to wikipedia and having to do a 20-turn long hunt to find resources.

To start, the map has grass, soil, trees, a mountain with an oil deposit (This mountain is also where iron, steel, tin, etc. etc. comes from. You add it in yourself, but you must dig into it to get to it. You add what you require. With the exception of some key resources which will be listed below.) and fish of various kinds.

There are a few GM only items/resources which you cannot create or add to your map. These items are, but are not limited too;

* Uranium
* Gold
* Jewels of all kinds.
* Oil and other Petrolium products.
* Wildlife, which include, but are not limited too, fish, land dwelling creatures and birds.

[b]Important Note about People, Items and Resources:[/b]
You can't duplicate items, they all must be made by hand in turn, and when used will vanish.

For example, you want to feed your people? You yank the plants from the soil and feed them some Potatos, thoese Potatos will never be seen again. You fill an oil drum with oil? Then the oil vanishes once you fuel a vehicle. You send a shipment of Corn from your warehouse, to the boat and then to someone else to trade? It leaves your map, turns up in theirs and they in turn, use it. You bring back your profit and use it. You go to war? You send a tank from your home, to the frontline, your tank on the home map vanishes and appears in the Frontline, if it's destroyed, it's gone forever. Killing wildlife such as fish and animals means they're gone for good as well.

[b]How do I get more units?[/b]

Well, there is a talk that goes by the 'Birds and the Bees' I doubt I have to explain it. But by chance I do, they need to have sex, you can depict this in a few ways, it's up to you, censoring two characters is sufficent. The female party will become pregnant and will give birth after a turn, after another two turns said child will become an adult. These time limits can be adjusted via a PM to me or, if you chose to make it longer, then do so at will.

[b]There's trade?:[/b]

Yes, these are anything other players put value on, natural resources, people, technology, food, anything! To trade, all one must do is build a boat, load their goods and send them on their way to whichever map they wish to go too. It's pretty easy, depict in one picture your boat departing, in that same post, post their map with your boat enetering. But it's rude to enter territorial waters without premission, be polite and ask! Any hostile action done in this manor will result in a kick from the game however. GM approvel is required for exceptions to this rule. Visitation without the use of trade is also as depicted above.

[b]What is this about an Auction?:[/b]

The GM has the ability to start auctions. The auction item will be put on display, this can range from gold, to food, to wildlife to add to your map. The highest bider wins. The currency is anything you think is of value, like fish, lumber, etc.

Some Auction items have no purpose other then to buy more Auction items, such as gold, a sign of wealth and when it comes to the auction, it really is good to have.

[b]The Wildlife Guidebook:[/b]

[Coming Soon, this section will feature pictures and quick details on the various wildlife you may encounter, eat, trade and buy.]

[b]How do wars work!?:[/b]

Of course, there is war. One can declare war on another. So military, vehicles, aircraft and ships will eventually become very important. GM's may stop the war, or change some rules depending on the handicap of the players and other factors. After war is declared, you go into Line of Contact Mode.

[b]What is Line of Contact?:[/b]

This is what will most likely be refered too at the Front Line. Once war is declared, a Thread will start with their nations names. There will be a map (Water, Hills, Plains etc.) basic, the defender is allowed to use units from his home map in this thread to stock and defend a point. The attacker then does the same, but instead uses these units to charge their position. Why do we do this? If the defender wins, the Homeland is safe, they can choose to counterattack and march straight into their enemies homeland. If the attacker wins, he can go to their enemies homeland and "Fuck shit up", take it over, enslave them, take what they want, make it colonly etc. or be driven away by whatever units are left. Wars are moderatored, but only to a small degree so no one is steam rolling anyone.

[b]Treaties:[/b]

This is self explanitory, you can make trade agreements, alliances, agreements to other things etc. with other players.

[b]Weapons of Mass Destruction:[/b]

Bombs and such are allowed, but only certain explosives like grenades, cannons and such. Napalm, Carpet Bombs are not allowed, no matter what. Tt is possible to create a Tactical Nuke IF you have Uranium. It's an auction item and it costs you a leg and an arm, you will also need the brains and facilities to create it, but if you have all the three, you can, over the course of five turns create a Tactical Nuke.

[b]This is great! How do I start?:[/b]

Send me a PM with your sheet, only 4 spots in this game!

Once you're accepted, you can only have a max of 10 units. A max of 5 of these can be soldiers. You're also allowed one vehicle assuming it's practicle. (IE: Jeeps, tractors, etc. not battleships, fighter planes or war tanks)

After that, it's up to you! Have fun playing god!

[LieCake]

I'm sorry if this comment ruins the thread, but that is a fairly large map, if only 4 player, each having only 10 units use that then there wont be a lot of action. 4 players is fine to me, but 10 units... really?

[CodeMonkey3]

They get their own map to themselves, they get to build. They can make more units by reproducing and building. They only start with 10 units. The thread isn't a straight deathmatch. It's like a Civilization game, but with more civilization.

War is more politcal then anything. But it is a very real possibility.

[LieCake]

I see, so would a thread be created for just one person to just build and such? How would fairness be monitored?

[CodeMonkey3]

They all act indepedently. How successful you're depends on how often you post. I'm making it as fair as possible, but life isn't always fair.

It's basically a development race between the four players, one can win this race by interacting with the others through trade or war and posting often.

[DragonSpawn777]

could you try and hold a spot for me please I'm going to work on a sprite sheet for this :)

may take an hour or so idk

[CodeMonkey3]

I'll try my best, only one application so far.

[editline]06:09PM[/editline]

I'm working on a sprite as well.

[LieCake]

[i]
* A small Group of Trugs from Trug City have fled to this Island. They hope to re-establish the Trug Republic (Unknown to them is that the Trug Republic still exists.) The group is a mix of proud men and women.

* Two Marines, one of which an Officer with Type-42 Assault Rifles are the protection of the 8 man Construct crew. They've brought with them a single Bulldozer. [/i]

[CodeMonkey3]

No, no declare. Read the damn thread. You have to PM me your sheet, and be accepted and added to the OP.

This thread doesn't even have a declare system!

[media] [url]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/The_Trugs_Enter1.png[/url][/media]
[i]
* The Trugs move onward from the shore, they find a small, quite little lake. They draw tools from inside the Bulldozer and begin to cut down the trees, two others pack the ground and clear it of grass the Dozer flattens it all. The Marines stand guard and two of the Trugs begin to fancy eachother on their break.[/i]

[i]
* The two love birds mix cement together, the two diggers dig into the ground for a foundation. The Wood Cutters process the trees into planks and boards. The Bulldozer finishes with it's flattening and he takes a break. The two Marines continue their watch.[/i]

[i]
* Two Diggers yank out the stumps from the ground, then fill in the hole.

* The Drozer begins to fill in the pound, as pretty as it may be, it makes it harder to get to the other side.

* Three builders begin to pour a foundation.

* The two others continue to make cement.

* The Marine Officer leaves the Liason in charge and walks over to the Dozer.[/i]

[FelixDragon]

I am SO in on this! And this post isn't meant to be taken as a declare.

[DragonSpawn777]

dang code

you're progressing quickly

you have a bulldozer all i have is 10 people 3 rifles and some shovels xD

[CodeMonkey3]

I also started before you, I picked the Dozer for my one vehicle and all my men are construction workers. I plan to finish the Trug Hall (Town Hall) then go to bed. So you can catch up all night.

[i]
* The two diggers grab buckets and begin to help in construct, some planks are used to keep the structure up as they build.

* The Officer unshoulders his rifle and shoots at the fish in the small pound.

* Generally Building continues.[/i]

Please, remove that image. You didn't read the thread. You have to send me your Sheet first, and then I approve you and add you to the list.

Please snip your post.

[I]*The Valentian Military Liason changes into his plainclothes after planting and hoisting the flag on the coast. He will act as governor of this new town until a suitable replacement is found. The Chief and Soldiers watch and manage the Builders as they clear, level, and de-forest the immediate coastal area. Two Builders cut down a tree, another makes planks, while yet another measures and begins planning for a new City Hall.[/I]

I think a tip to anyone playing would be to make a wind mill to produce energy for any type of needs, such as useing the idea that all your vehicles need electricity. Easy source of energy with out it depleting like oil.

was my plan :v:

after all my guys will have to be more crude for a while since they are a group of refugees

[DanRatherman]

[I]*Valentian Builders clear a larger area and plant a few cabbage sprouts. The Builders remaining use some beach sand to produce some simple concrete to make a foundation. A male and a female Builder take a "Break" and start walking to those bushes over there.[/I]

[CodeMonkey3]

Sorry for the sudden jump in construction, I wanted it too like nicer and I wasn't sure how to keep track of progress if I didn't do it all at once. I'm going to just leave them in that position for another turn or two.

[i]
* The Officer goes around the pond and begins to collect the dead fish, the Dozer finishing off the pond.

* The Builders finish up on the general structure.

* More concrete being mixed, still.

* The Liason stares at the structure, it's missing something.[/i]

[DragonSpawn777]

Trug City Propaganda? :D

[CodeMonkey3]

Maybe later :3

You two should post more, there is no limit, you can take turns between you two if you want to infact.
