To those who come after, who see this blasted shell lying here, know that we were once a proud and lively roleplaying board. But a number of false starts and failed attempts to generate consistent interest, as well as a hacker's malicious annihilation of more than a year's worth of data, sealed our fate. It was a good board with an incredible premise and beautiful backstory, easily the better of any other RP board I've considered before or since. The people it attracted and kept, though not numerous enough to keep it alive, were talented writers who created unique and believable characters who lived fascinating, adventure-filled lives in a world where it could have been easy to be mundane or stereotypical.

Though only a few dozen ever knew of its existence, the world of RPers will lose something beautiful when this board goes away.

OOC

The place where you can come to talk about games, anime, writing, or whatever else crosses your mind. No flaming or spam allowed. Period. If the admins see it, it gets deleted. Spam belongs in the Advertising forum, and flaming belongs on another board.

  Upcoming Changes
This was the place for discussion about the recent changes to NWC. This forum is now locked since the formation of the new rules is complete. Those wishing to continue debates from here can do so in the Chat and Ideas forums.

  Ideas
Ideas or suggestions for the board go here. All ideas are welcome, even if you think we'll think it's stupid. That includes criticisms! Criticism is how we evolve. And besides, it makes the admins nervous when no one's telling them what they're doing wrong. Just be sure whatever you say, be polite.

  Workshop
This is the Workshop forum, where players can comment on the RP of other players, provided their character sheet says they accept public comments and criticism. There is even less tolerance for disrespect and flaming in this forum than the others since it is such a sensetive subject. This forum exists as a place for players to help other players write better, not as a place to vent personal frustrations or build your own ego.

  T.L.A.
Stands for Temporary Leave of Absence, which means this is where you sign out/in for vacations or any other time you will be away.
391/6/05 9:50 am
  Tutorials
Where those with RPing experience can impart the wisdom of the ages unto the young and the newbie. A good place to go if you like helping new players or if you ARE a new player looking for help.

  Media
This forum is open for people to post any sort of creative works they've done. Here you can show off your creative talents outside the RP. Character art, original theme music, or stories that are not part of the NWC continuity are just a few examples of possible submissions.

Accepted characters and their information are moved here by the admins. You may change your information at any time. In fact, you're encouraged to do so!

  Genki
This forum is where players are asked to keep a post recording their Genki (or stamina) score so that other people can have a rough idea of what their character is capable of and so the admins can make sure everyone's playing fair.
74/17/05 4:30 pm
  Absent Characters
Characters whose players have let the board know they are on an extended vacation are kept here. If you want your character to be moved here, just post in the TLA forum to let everyone know when you're going to be gone.

  MIA Characters
Characters whose players have vanished without a trace are kept here for a time, in case their players reappear. If you are gone without notice for more than a week, your character will be moved here until you talk to an admin about getting it moved out

Roleplaying
  News
The World-wide broadcast news channel, heard on radio and TV alike. This is where you can read up on events and other happenings that may or may not affect your character's story. Players are allowed to post here too, although it needs to be restricted to relatively important information. Deaths and killing/destructive sprees are examples of this. If you'd expect to see it on CNN, it can go in here.

  NWC Headquarters
The New World Council home base, located on the scenic and Nation-neutral island chain formerly known as Hawaii. This is where the Council sits and runs the world. Protected by the most advanced working technology available, for most the only hope of seeing it is on TV or by reaching the finals of the New World Conquest Tournament.

  Asia
These history-rich lands in the eastern hemisphere are not known for their fighting during the war. In fact, while most nations were fighting, China and Japan quickly joined forces and rounded up the stray and unmanned countries to add to their boundaries. They now successfully control all major quick-trade routes between the eastern and western hemispheres and are quite prosperous.
327/29/04 6:32 pm
  North America
Located in the western hemisphere, this was the most diverse and open country on Earth until the war came. Now it is a cold land full of broken cities and spirits, with closed borders on all sides to protect it from the threats it perceives... and those it is truly threatened by.
157/6/04 1:41 am
  South America
All things illegal come out of this nation, from drugs to armaments. The World Military is very hesitant to house here, due to the violent and anti-government guerrilla soldiers that are active in this area.
412/18/03 1:54 am
  Europe
Now considered the most diverse nation, due to the large assortment of territories within its boundaries, it is a cesspool of media and strict law. Very low in resources, it makes up for lack of trade with many armed forces.
745/14/05 11:03 pm
  Soviet Republic of Russia
Perhaps the strongest nation, the Soviet Union, as it was once called, is used as heavy backing against the petty wars that break out in most nations. It's soldiers are now well known for their harsh but effective methods of war, and this is reflected in their Tournament record.
611/25/03 11:12 pm
  Middle East
The World's least-favored nation, blamed by many for starting the war that nearly destroyed the world, they somehow survived the war and it's after-effects, though their economy was destroyed. However, with the lack of prevalent major electronics, oil is in heavy demand and their near-monopoly on it still gives them a major leverage, just as before the war.
417/28/04 2:31 am
  Australia
A land nearly devoid of life and filled with many prisons. Taking a page out of now-ancient history, enemies of the World Council and other dangerous criminals are sent here to maximum-security lock-ups. The exception to this is the islands of Oceanea, which remain the world's most popular tourist destinations, open to people of all nations.
37/26/04 11:43 am
  Africa
Reduced to a veritable wasteland during the start of the war, it surprised everyone by growing back at a speed unparalelled by anything else. It is now a mysterious no-man's land whose contents are not fully understood even now. It is not technically a nation, though many seek to make it one.
83/17/04 9:25 pm
  Antarctica
Once a wasteland of arctic ice-caps, a veritable death trap to any warm-blooded creature, the war caused much of the ice to melt and managed to display portions of the land that had been buried for eons. It is still hard to maintain life here, but it is no longer impossible.
