Welcome back!

Great wallnese

What is the point of a forum cause im kinda new but i have never signed up to anybodies forum!

Its where our government and culture is hosted. The RMB is too limited to have a real community on

Airship excalibur

Makes it easier for people to organize government and that fun stuff. We can't do all that with just this RMB.

And you leave again?

Y U leave?

:(

"Its where our government and culture is hosted." CULTURE!!!! :3

Airship excalibur

We should have a steampunk centered culture. I just started reading some steampunk books and I really love them.

I never understood steampunk...

Airship excalibur

Steampunk is just a setting based off of Victorian England when everything is powered by steam. It can be a blending of science fiction and fantasy because during their time steam power was the way of the future. We now add magic elements to it in some cases.

Why not steam Gothic?

Akaramo and Sluggg

Airship excalibur

Gothic can fit in as well. It is mostly dealing with the early 19th century.

I just never agreed with the whole punk culture.

I'm intrigued, Airship. How would that work?

Steampunk is cool.

Punk can be fun, but it can be strange too.

(see: Perdido Street Station for an example of both sides of Punk)

something to do with ballast tanks and pressurized gas.

Oh here: What is sometimes described as the "Holy Grail" for rigid airships or blimps would be a "nurse" system which recompresses or releases lift gas as needed for much more controlled altitude adjustments. The problem is that these pumps, power sources, and metal storage tanks weigh so much.

Naturally the si-fi world of steam-punk (Or a Gothic, steam controlled society as I like to think of it) would use this fantastic system.

Steampunk usually assumes new fuel psuedoscientific sources, or slight alterations of natural laws in favor of plot (AKA Plotonium)

"Punk can be fun, but it can be strange too." All I have ever found punk to be is vicious group of people with no regard for the feelings of others. Then again I am thinking of British punk.

I mean 'punk' as in steampunk, or cyberpunk, or diselpunk, etc.

So aside from taking care of issues every-day what dose one do as a nation?

Not much.

That's why people have created off-site forum communities.

Well, there's a lot of interaction on the NS forum as well.

True.

But I'm here to sell Kantrias.

:)

Oh, cool!

Cerian Quilor has the highest Tax Rates in Kantrias!

what is there to do in the game besides solve issues and join nations?
