I´m fine with Earl playing Nordmark - but I have no time to help getting started except putting together an email containing some basic information about the relationship SAE-Nordmark and some early designs.

Earl, if you´re willing to play Nordmark you´ve to accept the written history and relationsships. You also need to carefully read all old threads regarding Nordmark - especially regarding the war with Argentina (if already posted). More information regarding the war was written by Pengolodh but is still missing and will be posted later. That´s written history, too.

Sounds difficult but I guess you can handle it. If you agree then I´ll try to put together the information I have and you´ll receive an eMail with the stuff. Rocky may also help with some things as he got some insight into the Nordmark issue when he helped with the war stories.

Howdy neighbor!

Looking forward to having a fellow Northerner to make things interesting in the High Arctic!

I do have some stuff from Pengolodh on Nordmark if Earl provides an email address (by PM) and if I can get into my email archive. The latter is a big if.

Chile currently has problems with Bolivia and Peru. An Argentina might complicate the matter, as could a Brazil (or provide more fuel to the fire that is the Chilean-Bolivian-Peruvia border).

Nordmark is by far the most needed nations to catch up. There are still pieces of information from the war with Argentina that are missing (I think, I could be forgetting the thread where the war was finished).

Canada could become an interesting nation depending on how relations go between the US and UK, and what happens in the two great oceans that flank the second largest nation in the world.

And Poland would be mostly a roleplaying type nation rather then a naval simulator nation. Its role would be mostly foil to any situation in eastern europe and the baltic sea.

I might be interested in playing Poland - might..

Bear in mind, I have almost no experience with SpringSharp. None, zip, nada. But I could learn, and more importantly when it comes to Poland, it doesn't really matter (yet?). Like you said it'd be mostly a political/storyline deal.

Still, Wesworld would probably be better off with someone who knew what they were doing... :p

You can get around the Springsharp bit by playing a nation that relies on imports, though.

That's true. It looks like the information available to work off of (encyclopedia entry) is much more up to date than Nordmark, anyways.

Hmm. Any other thoughts?

Spend a bit of time reading up on the actual history of the NPCs. See if there's anything that sounds like good story fodder. Similarly, see if there's any neat opportunities for a particular nation to get added to an ongoing story arc. If you're thinking of doing a political/storyline deal, make sure you've got something to work with.

I think I should respectfully point out that I don't think we're looking for "here today, gone tommorrow" type players.

Most of us have been with this sim for a couple of years not just months, so hopefully any new potential players will give it some thought before they commit to joining the sim. Keep in mind you don't need to show up every day but keeping reasonably up to date quarterly reports would be recommended.

That works out to about 1 post every 2 or so weeks, not including news reports and other tidbits, not really hard to do, heck some of us are on every day with nothing better to do!

Anyway I'll step off the soapbox now....

Hi Long time reader first time poster.
I am intersested in playing Poland

Poland is in a rather precarious position, and making it a PC could have interesting effects on WesWorld's political structure

The same could be said of any small country between two bigger ones. It doesn't mean that the country ought to be played; how many players do we expect would be satisfied playing a Poland with a couple of DDs? More likely they'd push for a larger fleet, get it, and add to any tensions in the region.

I Dont intend to bild a large fleet.
I'd like to complet Historical "Maly Program Rozbudowy Floty"
or small fleet expancion plan.
Composing of bilding or buying 2 cruisers 10 destroyer 10 fleet torpedo bouts and 10 subs.

But if You think that you nead an other NPC more i will like to play that Nation.

Hi Marek,

There's a thread in the Infrastructure Board about NPC infrastructure. Would you be okay with the amount of infrastructure listed for Poland in that thread?

I won't disagree that I'd prefer to see Brazil or Argentina played, but my remarks were more in the context of if we were to go "head-hunting" for new players. If somebody like yourself is actually wanting to play Poland, that's cool with me - I'd rather you played a country you want than one you didn't.

Hrolf, Adm K, Earl, Commodore - you guys cool with a new PC neighbour?

How long have you been reading, may I ask?

Here's what's in that NPC Infrastructure thread about Poland:

Poland - 4 factories
at Danzig:
1 Type 2 slip
2 Type 1 slips
2 Type 0 slips
1 Type 1 drydock
at Koszalin
1 Type 1 slip
2 Type 0 slips
1 Type 2 drydock
2 Type 0 drydocks

Also in that thread there were suggestions by one person that there ought to be 1-2 Type 3 slips at Danzig, but no confirmation of that.

Well, with 4 factories and 1 Type 2 slip, you could certainly build 2 CLs at Danzig. Have to wait until the first one's launched and the slip cleared before you start the second one, but it would certainly be feasible.
