Brief History Welcome to Earth 2.0. Every since the species known as humans realized they were not animals they have waged war, war against the environment, war against nature but most of all war against each other. No generation of human has passed without war and its curses famine, disease and ruin. It is amazing humans exist at all. In the early period humans fought with sticks and stones. As technology increased so did the violence and capabilities of war. The first global war was the result of political slights in the 1860's introduced total war, destroying a nations will to fight by killing its people and destroying its infrastructure. New techniques in warfare were developed the importance of supply and logistics, armored trains, observation balloons, rifled cannon, rapid fire rifles, Gatling guns and guerrilla warfare. The second global war occurred in the 1900's and was the result of colonial expansionism. New technologies bloomed during the war. Chemical weapons, tanks, air planes, air craft carriers, zeppelins, machine guns and trench warfare. The third global war occurred in the 1940's and was the result of economic stresses. Again new technologies bloomed, the atomic bomb, radar, sonar, rockets and missiles, jet aircraft, napalm, long range aircraft, microwave technology, cryptology, computers, global propaganda and movement warfare. In between these wars are constant brush fire wars between small countries and small and large countries. The standard technology of the game is early 1960's. Early guided missiles, theater ballistic missiles, gravity dropped nuclear bombs, nuclear reactors small enough for ships. Countries however are racing for space and the moon, ICBM's, the Hydrogen and Neutron Bombs, better military hardware, new ships with enhanced missiles and missile defense. |

Nobody posted for last Sunday. I appear to be the only one posting. Is this game still going or is it dead?

well, i've been on less and less at night, being busy with life and i'll admit, the whole ORBAT is kinda a bitch to think up; I can think of ideas, but i can't seem to write them down (seems i always think of them when doing chores)
If the actual game starts, then i don't see a reason why it could'nt continue

Okay, we keep the game open.
No rush, everyone can work at their own pace.
For the art contest, I will score it after everyone submits or declines on the contest folder.
Anyone can start writing stories.
Next week I will ask each of you to give a "situation" for the other players to deal with. This can be anything except blowing up their country. If the player doesn't like the situation you send them they can pm me and I'll give a different situation. Remember everyone rotates whom they assign a situation to, so what comes around goes around. and yes you can have good things happen as well.
