Description:

Welcome visitors, Internations is a geo-political wargame that puts a
strong emphasis on diplomacy and believe it or not RPing... Each player
will be asked to chose a country and become it's leader, taking diplomatic
and military desisions that might bring them prosperity or doom. The game
is based on the modern day diplomatic situation around the world. Research
has been done to try and bring as realistic statistical representation to
Internations but some things are just not diplicable for this game and so
you will notice small discrepincies, do not worry about it, this will not
take away from your game experience unless you let it..

I'm looking for a minimum of 16 players to start but I will continue to
recruit until a maximum of 32 players. As I mentioned above I don't want
players joining Internations expecting a Chess-style strategy game, this
is more about political coniving then anything else, in fact Internations
does not even destinguish Tank from Soldier, we have Ground Units (or GUs)
that equals to a countries total ground force capability, taking into
consideration number of soldiers, tanks, budget and technology to result
in an attributed number (you will see this in the rules section). The
military part of the game is over-simplified to put the focus on
diplomacy. A realistic RPing method will draw out the best and most
enjoyable results from Internations and I hope you can take advantage of
it.

The game will be played on RPoL and this is only a marketing campaign to
get my needed players as soon as possible, I will not play by email, I
will play Internations via the RPoL forums. If you are having problems
getting to the Internations forums you may email me at
jkourkoula zat yahoo.com and I will redirect you appropriatly.
