This is an STGOD. Just so you know. What power would you be interested in? The list of the available ones are in the first post.

Could I take Marsh, the system the Salamander brought into the Alliance by taking out Andre Warnecke in Honor Among Enemies? I'll take the Solly Frontier if not, but I think Marsh could be an interesting political entity, given its alliance with Manticore and proximity to Silesia.

I'd prefer not to get bit, single system power involved just yet. Marsh/Sidemore just isn't that important on the grand stage as of now. But if you have your heart set on it perhaps we can work something out.

I'll put you down for the Sollies for now?

Erewhon... Look at my post. yes I know it's an STGOD, Phong and I
co-modded the original ASVS STGOD for awhile.

"I'd like Erewhon too, actually, and I've read the whole series, so I have a pretty good idea what Erewhon is like-

I do not, on the otherhand, know much about Asgard or Midgard- what are they?

Could someone explain to me the rough rules of a STGOD?
Never did one before...

Does that mean the rules are a list of places you aren't allowed to hit people?

I was definitely calling you a masochist, Mr. 'The Dark'.

*whispers* Psst, Stormbringer, how about carving up Silesia ahead of schedule?

Sure, I'll do the Sollie frontier. Just reread A Grand Tour, and now I think I've got a grasp on some of the political differences between the Core and the Frontier. With all the re-reading I'm doing of the novels for the Tech Bible, I may find more interesting stuff about Sollie space anyway (moreso than Marsh, which I'd forgotten was quite so minor before War of Honor).

My "shiny new fleet" might have something against it...

Cool, you're on the list.

I just wanted to be sure you knew. Some people that didn't realize that made trouble in the other ones we've run.

I'm sorry but I'm alotting powers on a first come, first serve basis. Erewhon's taken.

Asgard and Midgard are two smallish star nations off to the galatic southwest of Andy space. They haven't been mentioned, even in passing, so they're what you want to make of them. Presumably somewhat Scandavanian considerin their names though.

They and Pheonix & Mazapan are just nations on the map from On Basilisk Station.

You're in charge of the nation and are for all intents an purpose role playing the nation.

For this one you'll be expected to role play your nation somewhat faithfully to the book nation. Of course where it goes from there is up to you.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2003-08-04 09:52pm

I'll take Mazapan-

I'll set them as a smallish star empire, 3 systems (2 systems with 1 inhabited world each, and one system with some space industry but no habitable planets.)

Military power slightly inferior to Erewhon in terms of numbers, but well organised, with modern, effective warships (Sollie and Peep electronics, mostly, on home built hulls.). I'll work in some raiding on Silesia, and a history of conflict with the Sillies.

Sound good?

Sounds good to me. Numbers'll have to be worked out for ships but that's not too hard.

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2003-08-04 10:00pm

So, everyone think we should just get this bitch moving? We've got enough people and such.

I say we ought to work out ship numbers and start as soon as we can.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2003-08-04 10:02pm

what time are you planning on starting this game? During the temporary peace between the Manties and the Peeps, no?

Oh, yeah, and lets work out numbers now- whoever is the mod should tell us all about how many vessels we are allowed to have, and we'll get this show on the road!

That's covered earlier in the thread.

And I was thinking keeping it in proportion to the nations. I was just going to use the MtH numbers as the basis for deciding that.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2003-08-04 10:18pm

Erm, I am in need of a good source of information on navy sizes-

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2003-08-04 10:47pm

Pre-war Manticore

SD - 188
DN - 121
BB - 0
BC - 199
CA - 333
CL - 295
DD - 485

Pre-war Haven

SD - 412
DN - 48
BB - 374
BC - 81
CA - 210
CL - 354
DD -627

Mazapan would probably have half the escorts and less of a battleline than Manticore being far from the front of the current war and a smaller nation.

People can just post theirs, following the rules and a reasonable standard. If anyone has a problem we'll hash it out.

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2003-08-04 11:09pm

i thought I'd post my fleet nunbers. I don't have class names yet but I'll find some thing appropriate soon.

Sharnhorst SD (P) - 41

Derflinger SD - 83

Seydiltz SD - 76

Siegfried DN - 31

Leipzig BC (P) - 184

Königsberg CA - 153

Zieten CA - 159

Falke CL - 88

Freya CL - 114

Blitz CL - 120

Spähkreuzer DD - 261

Kondor DD - 72

Emden DD - 195
