War and Peace 2015 (mapping game)

Description
A new mapping game in progress by PetriBass. This game will be similar to Dungeons and Dragons (although since PetriBass has never played D&D before, it will be much more simplified.)

The game will feature a 24-hour turn clock. Every player will have 24 hours to complete their turn (however, turns will be simultaneous so that if a player is inactive, it will not affect the other players.)

Turn requests will be sent to the GM (via private messaging of some sort. I may set up a GM email account.) (Also, don't worry, I won't be harsh on y'all! This is only a game after all! I only want to maintain a system that is organized, efficient, and maintains a sense of realism, yet maintains the thrill of mapping and gaming! Think of it like a RPG. Also to note: I PROMISE to remain fair and unbiased. So if I keep rejecting your requests, you're probably just being stupid, but that should only happen if you send things like "Russia builds five thousand nukes" or "Libya summons the dark souls or the Underworld to fight..." or something like that. Keep in mind, however, that although I promise to be fair, that does not mean I am obligated to be so. I mean... I will be the game MASTER... After all...)

Actions will be sent as requests to the GameMaster (GM), PetriBass, who will either accept or reject your request and determine the consequences thereof to support realism and excitement. For example, The player owning Russia may request to declare war on Finland. If the GM accepts the request, all of Finland's non-player-owned allies will automatically declare war on Russia. This game, therefore, requires much thought and strategy while trying to win by conquering the world (other possible victories may be coming soon!)

You play as the main source of power in your country. For the UK, you will be the Prime Minister, for Somalia, you will be the military junta captain, for Saudi Arabia, you will be the monarch. Bear in mind that your people's opinions may not follow your own nor may your fellow politicians'. All of this means that you may have to decide upon whether or not to push the red button... and neither option is good, but only one will lead to world domination. So you must therefore ask yourself...

Can you thrive in War and Peace?

WPGameMaster@gmail.com -- This is not my personal e-mail and is used for the strict purposes surround this game's mechanics. You will be required to keep in contact with this email throughout the duration of this game. By contacting this email, you will NOT receive spam, solicitation, or other unwanted material. No information will be distributed or sold (but if you're sending information you'd have to worry about be distributed, then you should review some materials regarding internet safety...)

Info spreadsheet

Updates
I will probably NOT be releasing the game on this site, but I will post updates etc. here. Things are going kind of slow because of crappy internet at home and busy with homework. So if anyone is interested in helping or knows someone who would like to help out or have any comments or questions, shoot me an email at wpgamemaster@gmail.com.

My internet is very slow, so this page will be mostly inactive until it is fixed. During that time I will be developing the game (rules, countries, recruitment, etc.)

I may be searching for Sub-GMs too. I am expecting this game to be very big and elaborate, so to keep things simple, I may recruit some people to help me out, especially when I am not available to update the page since I am in college... SGMs will need to meet the following qualifications: six or seven letter words, etc.)
 * Trustworthy
 * Available and flexible schedules
 * Literate (know the difference between "there," "they're," and "their." Have a vocabulary containing a few

Also, if you are interested in this game, please spread the word. I hope to have as many people as possible join this! Let's work on making a game that EVERYONE can play, enjoy, and generally have a good time collaborating, competing, and communicating! ^_^
 * Intellegent (be able to use basic logic)

Finally, if anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me in some way!

Cheers!

P.S. mods: I hope I am not breaking some rule by doing this. If I am, please let me know, but I ask you to not remove this until I have saved it personally so that I can restart this elsewhere if I wish to do so. I will then remove/change this immediately. I do this for the entertainment of the community and hopefully have everyone come together as a team and not fight among each other.
