Taijitu worldbuilding

Welcome to Taijitu Worldbuilding!

---

Here are a few basic guidelines to help you get started.

Taijitu Worldbuilding exists in its own world. Many countries may be based off of countries from the real world, but there's no overt connection. Tajitu has its own self-contained history. That being said, timelines generally match up for the sake of simplicity. The year 1975 in Taijitu, for example, will be treated like the year 1975 in our world in terms of setting, culture, technology, etc...

Don't be daunted by national history. Long time World Builders here have a bit of history with each other. We know the history of our nations in relation to each other's but don't let that detour you! Your own nation's history is what you make of it. If you think you have a good idea about incorporating someone else's nation into your own history just PM them! Be polite and explain the situation. If it's something they're open to doing you two can work out the specifics. If you have any other questions just ask in the Planning Room or on IRC and we'll help you out.

Guidelines of behavior.

1. Be respectful at all times. Flaming, malevolent trolling, and general asshattery are not tolerated.
2. No explicit sexual content in your RP. Keep it PG-13. Profanity is acceptable providing it is not used simply for it’s own sake.
3. No matter when your RP takes place, use military hardware and technology at least somewhat appropriate for the time period. For example, no chainswords, gundams, clone armies, etc. If you have an idea for a particular weapon you want your nation to possess and aren’t sure whether or not it’s acceptable, just ask someone or make a thread in the OOC area about it.
4. As mentioned above, this is National Roleplay, and any combat is based at least loosely, on technology from around that time period. This means no magic.
5. No Godmodding. No matter how elite your spy is they’re not omniscient. No matter how awesome your missile defense system is, it’s not going to shoot down 99.99999999% of everything. Again, if you have questions, ask a mod or make a thread in the OOC area!
6. At least attempt to use correct grammar and spelling. This includes proper use of punctuation and capitalization. No one’s going to beat you up over a few mistakes but if you don’t give a shit about your RP, no one else is either!
7. DO NOT HIJACK THREADS! OOC comments in a thread should be kept to a bare minimum, and not made at ALL unless you are actually participating in that particular thread.

Timeline

There's one "timeline" here.

Pre-Modern

The Pre-Modern Fiction section takes place in the past, with the Great War around the turn of the century. Anything can go there so long as it respects period technology and ultimately leads to the proper conclusion of the Great War, with the Coalition emerging victorious.

Modern

Modern Era Fiction takes place in a time period that's more properly understood to be the early 1980s. We start there and go forward. The latest one can set anything is 2020. So feel free to use modern/post-modern tech in the appropriate years.

Post-Modern

Post-Modern Era Fiction takes place between 2030-2100. Nothing in this section can alter other sections of the timeline. This is a great place to make use of all those neat gadgets you are always dreaming about. Robot Armies? Cold Fusion? Graphene Batteries? Power Armor? Utopian RBE? Add it here!
