Well, here is where we will be playing. I'll be working on the board for a good while, but feel free to chat IN THIS THREAD. Don't make new ones please.
Also, feel free to toss advice and suggestions in here. Several things were covered before hand, but we might have missed some things.

Well, this is nice. Can we pick a different background color scheme, though? White is too clean, and BURNS.

Where is Oceania? And Australasia is just going to be part of the Asian theater. I'll have a map at some point showing the theater divisions.

Oceania and Australasia are the same thing hence the slash.
"Australasia is a region of Oceania comprising Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. The term was coined by Charles de Brosses in Histoire des navigations aux terres australes (1756). He derived it from the Latin for "south of Asia" and differentiated the area from Polynesia (to the east) and the southeast Pacific (Magellanica). It is also distinct from Micronesia (to the northeast). Australasia sits on the Indo-Australian Plate, together with India."

Yea that's just part of Asia now And I've added a quick dark skin for the board, you can change it in your profile settings. It's not great but it'll do for now. I'm really not worried about how the skin looks right now as I'm still building the flesh of the site xD

Well, there's small countries here and there I want to combine, but if we just stay away from them, I can add them as an update. And I need ideas on how money is going to work. Feel free to start designing things though, we're starting in the 1900-1904 time period, which means a lot of things haven't even been invented yet, but I want this game to move a little slower and with more order than the old one.

Oh yea.. question, do weapons and vehicles HAVE to be pmg, or are you allowed other programs for them? And i'm guessing your still against recreations of real weapons with no modification?

I like the idea of using multiple programs, PMG is VERY limiting if you don't have the ability others have.

Well, we'll have a vote. I'll toss up a poll in a moment.
But yes, I am still against blatant recreations.

Well alright then, I got more done tonight than I thought I would. Game is open! Other than the Daily Income not starting yet. Enjoy your free $1000 for the week. You are otherwise free to do whatever.
WITH THIS EXCEPTION I would prefer if you guys don't just hand out the link to this game to anyone and everyone. I want to keep it somewhat private for a while until it's running smoothly.

From my last talk with malachi, it sounds like 5 years every week or so, I think.

Aye, 5 years every week. Starting Saturday. Everything up to then is prep time. So next Saturday we'll hit 1909.

Question: Are you allowed to have one Weapon be a Designation for Multiple Roles?
For Example, My Anti-Armor Gun can easily be used as a Sniper Rifle.
And then if so, would the price be the same for the gun?

Technically no. If your Anti Armor is small enough to function properly as an anti infantry rifle, then it's bad at its job. When you use an AT Rifle as a sniper rifle (Like the M107) it's a heavy sniper for extreme range or extreme penetration. Not your standard sniper rifle.
The closest I could see to this would be the M4. But even then, make the M4 your standard, and make a shotgun for your CQ weapon.
What you could do is modify a weapon to fit multiple roles. But the modifications will alter the price still. Kinda like the difference between having an M14 as a standard and an Mk14 as a sniper rifle. Or a G36 as a standard and w.e the name for the lmg version as your LMG.
