Admit Guslantis as an Associate Member: < YAY > Admit Midir as an Observer Member: < YAY >

Leaning back in her chair, Katrín conversed with her assistant to draw up and hand out cards to each representative so they could vote on the matters at hand now that they had two motions to vote. With the cards created and handed out, she spoke, "I recognize the motion to vote from...

Katrín stared into her tea cup, wishing that she had asked her assistant to bring her something significantly stronger. Downing the rest of her tea before sending her assistant off to get her more alongside a bottle of mead, she turned her microphone back on to respond. "Yes, admission to the...

Katrín sighed and reached for her cup of tea. The logic being put forward was starting to give her a headache with how twisted and far-reaching it was in order to condemn the Government of Midir for actions that were wholly out of its control. Taking a sip of her tea, she thought to herself on...

The Representatives were gathered in the Council Chamber getting ready to debate the admission requests made by the Monarchy of Guslantis and the Democratic Districts of Midir. Katrín noticed that the Xentheridan representative, Jasmine Lindroth, was still not present. She shook her head in...

It had been a few weeks since the discussion on the Republic of Callise and the State of Iraelia and in that time, the two nations and their representatives had gotten settled with the various statutes of the Trillium Compact charter and working with the other full and associate members in...

After speaking at length with the various nobles, locals, and foreign monarchs, High Queen Sólveig and her family had retired for the evening. The next day, she spent the morning and afternoon before the Feast of Remembrance with her husband and daughter at the Relarí Beach Boardwalk. The...

@Syrixia, you cite historical precedent yet that historical precedent doesn't exist within the Eras RP setting so we do not need to follow real life 100%, we can instead be unique and come up with a different narrative for the Eras RP setting. From reading over your comments, it sounds like you...

Let's look at a hypothetical situation involving the Goyanean, Andrennian, Malorian, and Syrixian empires. In this situation and under the rules of this proposal, each one has the maximum of ten colonies, that's 67% of the world accounted for by just four colonial empires. This proposal isn't...

As this proposal is written it would apply and be enacted retroactively against already existing colonial empires and then also apply to any colonial empires established in the future. It is designed to bring about a level playing field to colonial empires and to ensure that no one role player...

Working off some feedback I've heard in Discord voice chat, I have thrown together the following concept idea for early packet switching networks and how it could be split among three different nations in the 1960's. In this particular example I used Merilia, Syrixia, and Goyanes. While an idea...

You would have to work that out with Syrixia because right now no details have been worked out for a Syrixian network as far as I know. Regarding VORNET though, it was and probably always will be a Merilian based network though it would have probably been linked with other networks in Eras...

I have updated the original post with ideas and proposals put forth by myself and Syrixia. They have been categorized under the newly renamed 'To Do and RP Collaboration Ideas' section and highlighted in red to make them stand out from the rest of the proposal.

As far as I understand the Fascist War and its aftermath, it left Andrenne and Ninhundland with a lot of its economic strength and infrastructure destroyed or out of commission. While reconstruction could have been underway by the 1960's, those nations would have still lagged behind others that...

Not necessarily no. The British and French each developed their own networks to explore alternatives to ARPANET and how to create internetworking. The Soviets created theirs in direct competition to the United States. Outside of ARPANET the most prominent non US based networks were the NPL...

@Syrixia, Ultimately, I would think it would cluster into three groups pursuing networking technologies, those from the Allied nations, those from the Dominion nations, and those from nations that remained neutral. While not all nations would have the resources or government backing to pursue...

Exactly... look at real life, the United States led the charge in creating ARPANET and many of the early protocols but it didn't mean that the Europeans and the Soviets weren't trying their own thing to rival the US. Heck, datagrams (one of the fundamentals to how packet-switching works) came...

As stated above, this is a framework proposal to get discussion started on how and why the Internet was created in Eras. I am open to feedback and making changes where necessary to make this more collaborative among the RP community. Questions, comments, and feedback are welcome and I'll answer...

With all of this talk lately about world building various technologies and how they came to be created in Eras, I decided to venture off on my own and write up a framework for how and why the Internet came to be created. This version of the proposal is written from the perspective of Merilia...

Once Crown Princess Andrea had gotten her parents attention, she got them both to come and dance with her in the Hall of Sirya where the temple staff had cleared away the chairs of not only that hall but that of the other three halls as well. This created multiple wide open spaces for everyone...

High Queen Solveig responded once Queen Alycia finished, "uncertainty is a way of life. Love is not something you plan, it is something you fall into, generally headfirst if you are letting fate have its way. You say you are not sure what you feel might not be love... well... the only way you...

Grand High Priestess Ástriðr was busy conversing with a few of the noble families from Reykholm and the surrounding lands and saw that the young Dorsettian princess was making her way over. She gave a curt nod, "Lords, Ladies, if you'll excuse me." As Princess Alice approached, Ástriðr clasped...

To the Crown Prince of Esplandia, Irwin Alfrekt Sherwinsen auf Drakosta, We are delighted to hear of your engagement and upcoming wedding to Elaena Jorvikhaer and wish you many bright blessings. High Queen Solveig and her husband, High King Tobías shall both be in attendance as long standing...

Seeing that King Tobias was on his way to the bar, High King Tobías walked over with him. At the bar he ordered two glasses of mulled wine, handed one to the young King and then turned back to observe the crowds as he carried on the conversation, "yes, this festival is about honoring and paying...

Owing to close trade ties, both historic from the Andreassen Trade Company, and modern that exist between Merilia and Ulstome, the Authorities of the Merilian Realm have set forth money to be invested in the upcoming infrastructure project connecting the largest Ulstome island with its mainland...
