Just remember, LW, we don\'t want to be railroaders. Make sure people have freedom. Much better to let them make their own Cold War than have us force them into it.

Kind\'ve. I run a socialist republic, in a sense.

Ok.

*Rips up plans for original nation*

I\'ll join you as a neighbouring socialist if I pass. ;D

*EDIT* Checked socialism again, it actually makes more sense for my original plan... :-[

There will be proxy wars as well, so brush up your Cold War history. Charzy, but this forces us to go to space.

People will go to space anyway, but railroading people into factions and saying 'You have exactly this, you must do exactly this, you under control of exactly this guy' is kind of terrible. Let them choose their own factions, have their own reasons for a Cold War, and let them choose to go to space themselves, possibly with some encouragement.

If you railroad players, they will resent you for it.

And also: kerbin isn\'t Earth, and there\'s no reason for its development to be exactly the same as ours anyway.

Alright, there appear to be lots of questions, so I\'ll take the liberty of answering them in detail.

First of, tech progression.

As Charzy has posted, we will be progressing technology by weeks. His timeline is mostly correct, but I\'ve decided to do a bit of revision on it.

1950-60 - 2 weeks - Think of it as a 'starter' zone. We\'re just getting started, so we need to keep things simple for now. Ushered in by Kortugan development of Atomic Bomb.

1961-70 - 6 weeks - To the Mun and Minmus. Mun can be landed on with a manned mission. Minmus manned missions would be possible, but more expensive. Ushered in by Kortugans launching a broadcasting space probe.

1971-80 - 4 Weeks - Manned missions are getting less expensive as we do it more often. Scientific missions to bodies start getting more popular. First introduction of prototype spaceplanes. Ushered in by Kortugans orbiting the Mun (The first landing will be left to nations to do)

1981-90 - 4 weeks More powerful computers allow for the first versions of MechJeb TM to be developed. Spaceplanes become mainstream, and a focus on reaching other planets becomes paramount (if they exist by that time). Ushered in by the Kortugan development of the computer processor.

1991-2000 - Even more powerful computers are developed, allowing for more advanced spaceplanes and new rockets, the development of the 'Inter-net' ushers in this new era, by the Kortugans of course.

Also we will have factions to be set for a Cold War setting. in a sense I Will run one faction, and someone may run another. The faction leader will also have more points than others, and bigger militaries. Also there will be unit sizes, and order of battles to denote forces, and if war what you are sending. There will have been a Great War which occured two-year prior to the gané start. So some nations Will have bigger militaries.

When did we agree on that? We will not have forced politics.

Now, for the test.

The test will consist of 3 parts.

1. Writing Skills -

This is a simple portion of the test where you will be given a prompt, and you are to write just a 4 paragraph response. We don\'t expect English majors, just an average understanding of the English language to the point where you can respond to the prompt. I expect to see at least 2 compound and 2 complex sentences. If you don\'t know what they are, look \'em up.

2. Creativity -

This is the portion of the test in which you will demonstrate your creative ability. You will be given a scenario, and your task is to write a simple, 2 paragraph response in which you detail your solution in a creative way. Should be simple.

3. Political Theory -

The hardest part of the test. Here, you will answer 5 questions on politics. They will not be covering candidates or anything. These questions will cover political theory, from ideology to government form, and you are expected to answer them in your own words. Any plagiarism will not be accepted.

It\'s safe to assume moderators aren\'t exempt from this test?

Nope. Anyone wishing to participate must pass the test.

Also, I\'ve decided to move the Grand Opening to Monday, and have Sunday be testing day, so as to keep things separated. Now, I\'ve also had to move the forum to a new address, which is -

roleplayksp.tk

I did some research and decided to stay with TK. It appears that someone in TK\'s Corporate management decided to report the old site for Copyright Infringement, and parked the site in an advertising center. I\'ve solved the Copyright problem, but I had to move the website still. So, hopefully this time things will go properly. Now, nobody visit the site yet, as in, register. I still have work to do.

Just saved the link, and think the \'problem\' was you giving the address before the day lol.

Right. Well, nobody can make an account to post without me removing it.
