Team version. MSG VS .NET OT. Basically, may need some team switching for sake of fairness.


RULES
The Rules of the Game Master
Rule 1) The word of the GM is LAW and FINAL!
Rule 2) The GM reserves the right to do anything at any time.

The GM approves turns by players and tells them whether their actions were successful or not and what the consequences were.
Game masters are responsible for supplying an empire’s population numbers and government expenditures and declaring victory or casualties in player’s battles.
The GM is responsible for making the game fair, but if a player finds something wrong with any post in the thread that the GM did not see, the player is encouraged to point it out, so check other players turns carefully!
If you believe that GM has made a mistake, you are encouraged to argue your point as this could result in events being changed. GM is quite within his rights to call Rule 1 or Rule 2 of GM at any time in this debate.
If you suspect a GM of being biased against you or any other player, post proof of bias publicly. Minor bias is to be expected though; thus it is good to be nice to the GM, as he
holds your life in his hands. Annoying the GM, whether through messenger, mail, or in game, can be punished by the GM messing up your turns, but he's a dick if he does unless you're really pissing him off.
The GM reserves the right to amend the rules of the game or add rules that were missed in order to make the rules more complete. He will generally do this after he notices someone exploiting a loophole in the rules. When this happens, the person he noticed using the loophole will be allowed to use it as it was not in the rules at the time of that person's posting, but from then on no one can use that loophole (as it is covered by the rules). However, intentionally looking for loopholes will most likely make the GM angry, and I remind you again of Rule 1 and Rule 2.

The Rules of Turns
Once the game is started, every player has 48 hours to post their turn before the GM will check the turns. Depending on the GM's schedule (he has a life too, you know), it may take more than 48 hours for him to check, approve, and post the results of turns. However, once he does, players can expect to have 48 hours to post their next turn. Please don’t leave your turn till the last minute!
If more than one turn is made per turn period, you should really delete the other one or else everyone will get real confused and stuff. It is highly likely if both turn still exists by the time the big post is posted, that the offending nation will have something dreadful happen to it, and no-one wants that. However, you can edit your turn as much as you like, but not after the time is up.

In regards to missed turns, If you miss a turn only half of the missed turn's budget will be carried over. If you miss two consecutive turns you may be replaced by another player or turned NPC should the GM wish.

The Rules of Posting
Posts should be ordered rationally, the rules of posting is that, if it makes logical sense and the GM can easily understand it and it isn’t irritating then its fine. If it annoys the GM or is impossible to understand then it’s not fine, and it is advisable to change it if the GM asks you to
or something horrible may happen.

The example below is one of the most commonly used turn structures and is very easy to understand. However when lists of any kind get very long spoilers should be used to
prevent the GM from getting annoyed.

Military

Summary
[Summarize your turn]

As stated above this is not the only allowable structure of writing your turn. However things that are definitely required are:-
- Budget
- Population
- Lists of all military equipment

The Rules of Military
You start with what military your country had in real life unless the GM specifies otherwise. (use Wikipedia)

Relative numbers of soldiers, artillery, tanks, etc. are required to be kept at all times and in all turns.
The recommended size of a military is 0.5% of your population. Use of less will generally benefit your economy, depending upon unemployment levels and other social factors, use of more will generally damage your economy but can be done if you can give some decent reasoning. The definition
of “decent” may vary depending on who the GM is.. Personal weaponry (the guns your soldiers carry) does not have to be defined as a particular weapon, nor does it have to be strictly paid for (unless you’re planning on kitting them out with something really special). Special-ops troops, however, can (but do not have to) be equipped with particular weapons with particular specifications at a specific cost to you (if you buy a hundred $1000 weapons, you must spend 100,000 USD from your budget.

The Rules of Attacking
You may attack as much as your military can handle in one
turn.
If an attack does not contain any specific strategy to it, it will be assumed that forces moved in a straight line into a war zone, usually ending in high casualties. If something were to go wrong in an attack for the attacker, for instance heavy resistance resulting in losses, he will
not be allowed to instantly retreat without some type of effect.

If a player has initiated battle with another player or native nation, they may continue battle through as many posts as necessary. They may not make any developmental advancement, but may only move or reorganize troops. All military sub turn posts must begin with the name of the player and their country.

For example:-
Gargareth – Mars – Military Sub-Turn

Any military sub-turns not starting as shown will be ignored.

Additionally, in order to keep other nations from getting angry at you for invading a country; it is a good idea (but not a requirement) to provide a reason for invading the aforementioned country. The UN may intervene if an attack is seen as unprovoked.

Invading a country that is a known ally of another player at the last possible moment that a turn can be handed in so that the other player is unable to help there ally is not technically against the rules however it is likely to annoy the GM and so is not advisable if at all possible.
Also, consider the difficulties of passing through other countries airspace/land to attack.

The Rules of Defending
Defenders have a slight advantage in that they can technically use their entire population to their defence with few negative effects. However, citizens will not generally fight back of their own free will, and there will be high desertion rates if they are commanded to fight, especially if they are not properly equipped and trained. If a player is under attack and does not defend themselves or post any message about it within 24 hours, then the fight will go on as if the country were an NPC country, however in this situation the defending players troops will not fight at there full strength as they are being ordered around by the generals not the actual leader. This is to prevent tiny little countries attempting to steal big countries by being sneaky.

Defenders, like attackers, can make as many posts as necessary to defend themselves with the same rules regarding the start of the post.
Support can be sent to a defending nation without taking a turn. If an ally is under attack, you may send troops to his support. You cannot move to support an attacker.
You can appeal to the Un or other powerful nations if you think an attack is completely unjustified and may receive help.

The Rules of Non-military War
Diplomacy is a tool that can be used against both native and occupied nations. The GM will determine the effectiveness of such an attack. Repeated attempts may be needed sometimes, but going for something that clearly won’t work could have negative consequences.
Players may hold all the diplomatic talks with each other as they want and do not have to disclose it to anyone. You can work together or betray all you like.
Countries may merge or gift with each other however this will almost certainly annoy the people living in the area that is being gifted and this may lead to riots. It can also reduce fighting effectiveness of an army if it has no sense of national identity.

Asking another country to merge, will not make them merge. You need to give them a good reason. And if you merge into a country that is much worse economically than you, there will be many problems to deal with and very limited budget improvement.

The Rules of Disclosure
Attacks or defences must be posted as part of your turn with full disclosure of troop numbers and types, equipment numbers and types. These attacks or defences must be written in your turn or military sub-turn.
This is in order to allow for proper judgment by the GM.
An exact method of transportation is not necessary in an attack, but a general method is needed. Troops may be transported across the world in a single turn, but the defender is allowed to attempt to stop them in transit as well. Again, remember other countries you are passing over/through.

If any special weaponry or tactics are used within battle, it must be mentioned or else it will be assumed that standard technology and tactics were used.
Development of technologies, upgrades in weaponry, upgrades in economy, or construction of weaponry must be announced to the GM. If you wish to attempt to keep your technology from appearing to the general public you may PM your design plan to the GM and
just give this a name like Project X in your turn. For something to be kept secret you must tell the GM how you are planning to keep it secret, they will decide whether
everyone finds out or not.
NOTE – If you spend vast amounts of money on something secretly NPCs will become suspicious and want to know what you are doing. The UN may even intervene if it seems very suspicious and send inspectors.

The Rules of Secrecy
Actions may be performed by privately messaging the GM, but the GM reserves the right to announce any information to the public.

Clues will be given in the case of secret missions, unless you cover your ass really well.
Secret missions can range from assassinations, to spy missions, to hijackings, to spreading of propaganda, and more.
Be reasonable with your secret actions. Sending insurgency attacks to every nation in Asia is ridiculous. Doing this, or something similar, could result in the disclosure of your actions to the public by the GM (and your disgrace).
You’ll also want to have plans put in place in an attempt to reduce damage by attacks or have plans to prevent assassination.

The Rules of Technology
You are encouraged to invent new things, but you must supply general schematics, costs, and capabilities upon usage. You cannot copy inventions made by other players in previous
games, but you may remake your own. The GM is to judge when cases of copying occur. If an invention or weapon already exists in the real world, it may be used, though a link to
its schematics and capabilities are required. Inventions that were previously made but not popularly known are also protected. To upgrade an invention, explanation is required for how it
was updated and to what effect. When creating a new invention, give it an ETA when you post
it. The first turn you post it, when approving your turn the GM will tell you if your ETA is correct and, if not, what it should be. This ETA will go down one per turn.

Other Nations
Other nations exist - usually you invade them, but they also fight back. Nations will commonly form organizations to resist invaders and will even invade their enemies. In the chaos that a CTW causes in the world, things happen. The GM will regularly post world events as he checks turns.
Currently existing international alliances and agreements will continue their existence unless they are nullified by the GM.
Be careful of who you invade and for what reason, as your doings will effect your diplomatic relations with the rest of the world.

Miscellaneous Rules
Geneva Protocols and other human-rights issues should be followed in war if you don't want everyone angry with you.
Internal disasters are up to the GM to decide.
Rules are subject to change depending on who the GM is.
If you try to spend your entire budget on weapons, something bad may well happen to your country.
Editing your turn is perfectly fine, as long as you do so before the official ending time of the turn (9:00 PM GMT) and notify the GM of the edit.
You may forge alliances with other players here and through PM as much want to, but any actual actions (free trade agreement, military support) must be included in your turn.
God Modding is serious and will almost always end in an internal disaster in your country.

This game was created by Trollbrain, and developed over time and through experience by everyone else. Even so, Trollbrain deserves much of the blame for everything that goes wrong.
Give Trollbrain money.

Version Notes: In this team ctw there will be two teams. It will be roughly divided into MSG and OT but due to even numbers there may be changes.
IF your on the same team your countries are allies and you won't attack eachother. Last team standing wins.
In this merges will be difficult to say the least. Not only must you be bigger than the country in many respects (unless there are other factors).
Even smaller countries will need good reason to join you.

The more detail you put into economic programmes, training programmes etc, the more effective it will be. Vague things make less
of an impact.
NPC militarys will grow a bit in reference to their usual military expenditures, when you are about to invade take that into account.

Don't just go attacking eachother right from the off, other countries will be anxious not to have the zone they are in turning into
war like other parts of the world so you need a few reasons..etc. Be creative.

2010 - Rewind.

In 2006 the debate of abortion took a turn for the worst in America, with many bombings of abortion clinics all across the country, as a response, pro-choice radicals began bombing churches across the United States, assuming that religion was the cause. Soon after these bombing and response-bombings reached a peak, the United States government stepped in with “solutions” which were even more radical than the crazies who were bombing each other. The Judiciary and Legislative branches were disbanded; the President assumed full power, the constitution was ripped to pieces on live television to an audience of hundreds-of-millions. This was met with outrage by much of the American public, while the other portion is assumed to have shrugged and said “It needed to be redone anyway.” With the Constitution gone, states began succeeding left-and-right, and rejoining into their own Unions, separate countries form the U.S. There are three worth mentioning today, in 2010, after countless wars for dominance and expansion in the North American continent.

Soon after the successions began, the Chinese and Russian governments began a sort of economic war, each funding revolutionaries in the other countries, trying each to fill the power vacuum left by the former United States. Chinese funded two main groups in Russia, which, soon after gaining a foothold, began to fight amongst themselves and split into a total of five sects. While the Russian government was a little more efficient about it, they pumped funding into Taiwanese rebellion, which soon turned into a full out offensive between the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China, with forces evenly matched for the last two years.

The E.U., heavily dependant on the other world powers, soon collapsed, along with the Euro, which is now worthless, due to terrorist organizations making counterfeited bills. Millions of Euros will no longer buy you a single slice of bread, in Europe. The EU fell apart, and each state soon began restoring its native currency, with U.K. gaining much more influence. Europe is much more peaceful than North America, or Asia, but there have still been a number of wars there, in the last four years.

2011 - Chaos

This year, Europe was swept into another bout of turmoil as dissident groups popped up everywhere using the recent division in the worlds major powers to cause havoc.
France was one of the worst affected and asked the Uk for help in dealing with them, when the UK sent SAS forces.

Meanwhile there were several attacks and bombings on British military bases in Northern Ireland and England.
It is reported that there was even a failed attack on the house of Commons but details are uncertain.
Speculation suggests this is due to dissidant republicans using the havoc to their advantage.

USA Factions continue to struggle against eachother with no sign of backing down, military equipment is in high demand and you can't expect much US military equipment getting exported in big batches.
The East chinese Faction(ill think up names soon) made some headway this year by gaining support from the people in opposition territory.
Russia is at a stalemate, switzerland is neutral.

In Papua New Guinea a revolution took place where angry protestors hit the streets, peacekeepers wielding Ak-47's fired into the crowd which started a massive riot in which the presidential building was stormed, and president caspian killed.
Onion, the head of this rebellion is now in charge (and has 1 day to do turn lol)

Silver – Kenya
Fishing stuff done, Environmentalists are happy and support these.
Farming techniqes improved and modern equipment bought, although it means many farm-hands farmers would have hired are now out of a job.
Irrigation increased, droughts are still a noticeable problem, though.
K
Teacher education improved. They want more schools and more teachers, though, since a lot of countries’ teachers left.
Mandatory schooling set up, ages 5-16 (r)?
Health care funded but many people still don't have access to healthcare.
Mining increased
STD awareness is up, but parents are angry that their 4-year-old children are given 2 condoms, and teenager pregnancy increases, as they have no idea how to properly store the condoms, and they break… easily.
Police upgraded.
Ethiopia accept
Somalia is skeptical, and wants to see an actual improvement during your regime first.
Uganda accept under the condition that they get 70% of profits (r)?
You encouraged Oman to decrease agricultural imports, and to increase their agricultural imports from you. They accept the Embassy offer and the sharing techniques offer, but trade doesn’t change much.
The UK is busy fighting the IRA and trying to stabilize Europe, they give you a quick message of denial.
Military purchases and upgrades done.
Population: Kenya = 39,540,620
Budget: 5.4 billion

Olly – Cambodia
Monsoon Thing ETA 2 years , People are pleased and happy about this electricity generation but it is quite expensive
and rural areas still suffer badly from monsoons.
Tree stuff done. Not many people volunteer, though, and 1 out-of 5 who do are found dead in a forest. Although people
breaching the law are being caught and companies are more weary
Film made, tourism increases alot.
A few factories are set up.
People are reluctant to move out of rice growing, but many see the logic behind it and take the things that are given to them.
However many people have been rice farmers for years and are not sure how to tend to these new crops so for now yield is quite low due to inexperience,
K
Laos are confused but pandas are releived.
The Vietnamese economy suffered along with the American economy. By no means are they happy.
Which resorts? (r)
The Riel is already terribly inflated, and Cambodian citizens have been using the USD as a currency since 1993, except for small change really. Nobody accepts (it may have helped to name the countries you were offering use of the Riel to.)
Military stuff done.
Population: 14,853,250
Budget: 4.5 billion

Boxxy - Yemen
Irrigation is improved in many areas but some rural areas still struggle on with little access.
Assets are merged, although companies already in that sector are annoyed and leave, losing you some valuable experience and knowledge.
Stock Exchange is well received, people flock to the capital for jobs and trade improves alot in this area.
Some Roads are done near outskirts on cities and major ports but minor ones still need work to be efficient.
Pretty serve eh? :D Plants are constructed and there is a nice supply of water but infastructure is lacking to get the water where it needs to be.
WHO send people who help you for 2 years and are please with your progress.
Airport is looking much nicer and more appealing now, tourists are attracted by these swanky looking resorts.
Somali has deteriorated extremely over the past couple of years, pirates are active more than ever. They would be glad of some support.
Saudi Arabia lend military support for around their borders but thats about it.
Improve relatons and trade how(R)
Uganda is currently in discussions with kenya over this, unless you can offer a better offer than them then they refuse.
Uzbekistan's gas is in high demand in the region with russia falling apart and military increases which has meant they are
at high levels of extraction already.
Uk are currently too busy and overstretched to send anything :{ .
Dissident activitiy declines slightly but this military attention has caused them to move to more mountainous regions where you air support is largely inneffective.
Military stuff done/
Total Population - 23,375,834
Budget: 5.5 billion

Cougarbrit - The Plurinational State of Bolivia
Some schools, hospitals etc upgraded. Learning two other languages leaves less time than if they were
just learning one other one so the learning isn't as effective as it could be.
Many teachers from Europe and America come over due to unrest in those areas.
The transportation system. err, some buses and train lines are set up but money isn't managed well due to lack of detail.
Paraguay foreign minister attends party,he complements you on the nibbles that were there.
Razorback - ETA 5 turns
Military stuff done but provide numbers for amount of people in your AT squads please and put in military spoilers (R)
Total Population - 9,996,000
Government Expenditures - $5 billion

link in a box - The People's Republic of Senegal
Military stuff done, eh your military personel is usually 0.5% of pop, so you dont need to put recruiting and your current numbers
are wrong unless you actually want them at that, which is fine too i spose.
Construct economic centers? (R?)
Many houses in senegal are mud huts :D with no electricity, this proves difficult for your phones, the project goes well in
well established areas though with a couple of japanese experts.
Teacher training goes well and some modern techniques have been picked up, some school buildings are modernised too.
What age group are the children you are sending?What country, Europes a big place? Many parents are uncertain especially with hearing about unrest in Europe at the moment. (R)
Stuff redone, looks better now. Residents complain of a large influx of tourists with all these resort hotels D:.
Fishing efficiency picks up.
Department of mining established. High tech lab for what? Experts in what? (R)
Some roads are built between places and between gambia and senegal.
You have only been in power for one year, gambia will wait and see.
Mauritania and Guinea accept a trade alliance.
pop: 12,455,181
Budget: 4.6 billion

Ristow - Nicaragua
You build 8 OK-sized schools. Hardly enough, though.

Okay. Minimum age set, although many students begin falling asleep in class.
Many companies are irritated, they threaten to leave if you don’t continue to offer cheap labor. (r)

Many come home, but around 80% are now homeless and unemployed.
Trade increases; Nicaragua is pushing the limit of its export amounts.
I rolled the dice and both deny, however, it wasn’t by much.
Brazil is the only one able to use its military atm, and they accept to do a few military exercises.
K
Population: 5,780,680
Budget: 5.3 billion

Garg – Cameroon
Many farmers do not wish to join, if for no other reason than you told them that they must. Most of those who don’t join will do so if you promise more money, however. (r)
Lolwatisthat send me the pm too plz :[
They name a brand of cotton after you. Or something, but their pretty happy.
Many don’t replant trees. They also claim your fines are unlawful, and refuse to pay. (r)
Quota? K
Not much gets done on the road system. 8 years with current funding until it’s modernized.
You open a few schools, enough that people are happy. However, there are still rural students who go without, and urban schools (that are even used) are becoming overcrowded. (r)
Solar and Wind farms ETA 2 years
IT business set up. Your researchers begin to dissect old PCs.
K
Population: 19,470,160
Budget: 5.1 billion

MetallicPhantom – Papua New Guinea
Schools and hospitals slightly upgraded. UN is weak since all major powers are divided. WHO send some people to have a look at what your doing. Heathcare is made free and as a result taxes have to be raised and care quality decreases due to overstretching as now you have a massive influx of people coming into hospitals. Staff are having mental breakdowns. (You shouldnt try something like that without preparation and more funding etc) Not very many hospitals or schools are made and some people are trained but training facilities aren't great.
Major roads are improved.
Company is set up. All of the resources of the country? (R?) Crude oil "mining" XD begins on a larger scale.
At this rate your small reserves won't last for much longer.
What equipment (R?)

Military stuff done, you get 75 2S19 Msta's due to russian military export constraints.
Total: 6,708,358
Government Expenditures: 4.3 billion
