Hegemony

[Seraphi]

Research continues, yadda yadda. I'm going to annex Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan eventually, so hands off.

Sigh. Ok.

 

The USA gets nerfed to 2 Trillion, Japan gets nerfed to 2 Trillion.

Retech, if you want to take Canada then you get Canada's IAG and you play normally. Not 'Oh I have sacrificed by wonderful country so I should get rewards of Canada plus a bunch of other countries.' As Dusty would say, if you want to screw yourself, go ahead.

 

New rule on Annexing....If you annex somewhere your new collective-country take a 50% Infrastructure hit. So if America was to annex Canada and Mexico, in the same ten year period, then the infrastructure of America, Canada and Mexico would be set to 0.

Which would mean that the IAG of the new country would be whatever America+Canada+Mexico's IAG is *0. Which is obvouisly 0.

That should balance out people going on annexfests.

 

If you are really good at roleplaying then you can reduce this to 10% by creating a convincing cover story for why your countries have merged. This takes 20+ years(Depending on how awesome your story is) and is free, though.

 

If you want to conquer somewhere the old rules apply, ie, you go in and blow their stuff up and have your stuff blown up. Potentially wiping out both countries Infrastructure, or doing relatively little damage and so only losing 0.01 or something.

 

 

Pathetic AE arguement:

[hide]Yes, AE came out of Scanadinavia.

However ae came out of Latin/Greek.

Meaning that, creatively, it is probably a combination...Because the fact is that there are only 46,656 ways to use your throat . Meaning that there are only 46,656 possible sounds, most of which are repeats. Added to clicking and other, non Larynx type, ways of speaking, while still making a sound, we are probably looking at, at the highest reasonably expected, at 40,000 different sounds.

Given that 100 Billion people have been alive, the odds are that more than one person 'Hey, you know what sound would be good?'....In fact the odds are 1 to 2,500,000. So, effectively, 2,500,000 people could have originated the sound. Subtracting for the people alive today and all that jazz probably leaves about 1 to 25....Assuming that 1 lived in Scandinavia and 1 lived in Roma and the other 23 died before they could share their revelation about the amazing sound they could make...then it is not unreasonable to assume that more than 1 culture came up with the sound.

Now assume that it was someone in Scandinavia and someone in Saxony...Now can we move on from this?

Also, Archi that 'should Hex be banned was uncalled for, I broke no rules'

I studied the rules, there actually quite easy come to think of it.

Annexing with Kazhkstan.

IAG = 102,599,902 Archi, what do I do?????

Breaking News

The Hexorian government has always looked up to the nation of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev; the president of Kazakhstan has recently came out of peace talks with our great leader, I'm sure none of you require his name. Some religious activists claim that the mixing of two different countrys and also religious groups will mean Hexoria and Kazakhstan will lose its identity however a new name has been proposed.

Kazakhoria which combines the two names in perfect harmony, our leader and the leader of Kazahstan is extremely happy about this, and it seems that the people of Kazakhstan are also happy.

Now, many people have been debating why this has happened, we have taken a snippet from his press release.

"The reason why our great countrys have united so happily is simply due to the fact that we are so close, so similar and so alone in our fight against the world. I feel that we need to be united and together!"

That was a lively speech from our great leader.

Thankyou, i'm Tricia Takanawa and back to our film, Notting Hill.

[Seraphi]

Oooh, this new system actually seems pretty good. This way, if somebody tries to annexfest, they end up screwed.

 

Hex, the reason that option was on the poll was quite clear since 8 people voted yes.

IAG = 102,599,902 Archi, what do I do?????

 

You add 6 noughts on the end because the figure in in millions. This is such a god easy system if you actually read the rules.

 

IAG is your entire GDP as it was in 2000, but has to last you 10 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_GDP_(nominal) (The figures are in millions, so add six noughts to the figures when posting.)

 

 

Oh my god, my brain is melting with the complexity of it all, quick, we must abandon this system and return to GDP, it is far simpler than this system of spending a budget!!!! We must bring in percents and growth rates or else all is lost!

[The_Mather1]

I was talking about the letter Æ, you allready use the sound daily in bad, mad, sad, Chad, Tchad, rad, NORAD, ham, spam, cram, Bam, etc.

 

Meh I suck at random RPing without a setting, annexing south Korea the -50% infrastructure way.

[archimage_a]

Hmmm

Originally a ligature representing a Latin diphthong

 

So not Scandinavian or Germanic...

[The_Mather1]

No, orriginally an F-like, Norse rune called Ash, it was translated into the latin Æ but later lost it's title as a letter in most languages.

[The_Mather1]

I believe you mean the heir of

Overuse of image, yes, but it is necessary.

[The_Mather1]

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

For annexation do we pay yearly half of the IAG of the country or is it just a one off payment?

[Nero]

[red square] Old West Norse dialect

[orange square] Old East Norse dialect

[pink square] Old Gutnish dialect

[blue square]Crimean Gothic

[yellow square]Old English

[green square]Other Germanic languages with which Old Norse still retained some mutual intelligibility

Not only are you not providing a source, but that image is meaningless to the discussion as well.

Greek army still being built up. Annexation of Bulgaria begins.

[The_Mather1]

Dusty, that would be of wikipedia if you had bothered checking the image address and it told which countries used which language aroun year thousand. Anyways futhark (saxon) runes were based of elder futhark runes which was the oldest norse runes (biggest collection of them found in Denmark).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark

 

Which means Æ is Norse, both in current usage and in origin.

I never said the Saxons were Norse, I said they used runes based on Norse ones.

 

 

Completely irrelevant, but aren't historians debating whether or not the Germanic peoples originated from Scandinavia or Germania?

[archimage_a]

also you go to aberwystwyth, archi?

Yeah

 

i vote annex's already declared are immune to new rule

Hmmm, annexs already completed, none, are immune, all others are subject...since they won't complete for 10 days no one is commited to anything.

 

where's argentina.txt

Couldn't find anything notable to put in it.

 

For annexation do we pay yearly half of the IAG of the country or is it just a one off payment?

One off.

 

Greek army still being built up. Annexation of Bulgaria begins.

Ok.

 

futhark (saxon) runes were based of elder futhark runes which was the oldest norse runes

Which means Æ is Norse, both in current usage and in origin.

 

Hmmm the Hegmonist Alphabet is based off of the Archimagian Alphabet, and is the oldest Alphabet in Archimagian.

Which means the letter A is Archimagian, both in current usage and in origin.

:rolleyes:

 

Back in the real world Latin Dipthongs predates your Norse runes:

The earliest runic inscriptions date from around A.D. 150.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes

Golden Latin, which spans the 1st century BC and the early years of the 1st century AD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Latin

 

Therefore ae in Latin predates Elder Futhark by as much as 250 years.

Therefore ae is Latin, part of the Romance Languages, not the Proto-Norse of the Scandinavian Languages.

 

 

Once again Norway 'invents' something that had already been invented... They invented fire, don't you know....about five minutes.

[The_Mather1]

Archi, we were talking about Æ, not the latin alphabet.

 

Sere: Nope, though there's a debate wether the Sames or the Germanic people came here first.

[archimage_a]

ae is part of the Latin Alphabet....

[a_bert]

did you not see my first post, where I mentioned the monolith?..

 

among other things..

 

capital letters are only required when it's serious business

 

but yeah I did 4 important things! am dissapoint you didn't read it

[archimage_a]

Could do. I just assumed you were messing around because you had no capital letters.

[The Dark Lord]

Archi, we were talking about Æ, not the latin alphabet.

 

Sere: Nope, though there's a debate wether the Sames or the Germanic people came here first.

 

 

Who are the Sames?

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OLQwtmpWE4

 

^Somehow relevant.

[The_Mather1]

It is not, it is currently a special letter, like Å, Ø, Ç, Ą, etc. It's like saying that ß is part of the latin alphabet.

 

The Sames are a people who live in northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia mostly they used to herd raindeer, though now they're modernizing.

[Nero]

Mather, the ash is not norse in origin. Christ man, we've provided you with a litany of sources, and all you respond with is words in norwegian that include the ash, as if that's some sort of definitive proof.
