For eternity, the colors had been as one under the prism, unified into a brilliant pure white. Yet now the prism lies shattered, revealing the world as a hodgepodge of hues. Each of the colorful coalitions thought to themselves "If White had once ruled, surely there must be a successor color!". The only question left was which color it would be, and the decision would be one mulled over in pools of prismatic blood...

The hues of the world all coalesce into shakily-organized nations. Though many hues may only be tangentially related to their master color, the new states remain stable -- for now. Only some omnipotent playery type person controlling fate could know what would come from the four nations all simultaneously declaring war on one another.

Nations:
People's Democratic Republic of Red
Kingdom of the Greens
Blue Federal Republic
Serene Yellow Empire

Spoiler: What is a a Map Game? (click to show/hide)

A Map Game is an exercise in collaborative storytelling and creativity, mainly conveyed with text descriptions and changes on a map. Here's a quick example:

Turn X

Tensions between Dark Green and Crimson rise, despite attempts from Turquoise to reach a diplomatic settlement over ownership of the nearby island.
A scientist in Crimson invents a workable automatic pistol.

Turn X+1

Crimson declares war on Dark Green, and launches a naval invasion of the island.
Dark Green demands that Turquoise allow Dark Greenian armies free passage to invade Crimson. Turquoise refuses.
Crimson's army adopts to the automatic pistol, and the army designs a carbine based off of its principles

Turn X+2

Dark Green declares war on Turquoise as a midpoint to invading Crimson.
Crimson wipes up the demoralized defenders of the island and go to invade the mainland. Landing in the city of Southburg, they face fierce resistance, and despite advantages in weaponry are kept from advancing beyond the local countryside by sheer Dark Greenian manpower.

Post "Claim" in the thread, then just take the last turn's image and edit it in an image editing program (Paint, GraphicsGale, GIMP, etc). Advance events based on your own whim and previous poster's events, then drop the image onto imgur or such and post a turn. Try to incorporate national/color fluff, tech, etc. Other than that, just follow these rules.

1) Make sure your post follows the general format of:

Code: [Select]

Turn #
Image
Events
Nations List
2) Don't blatantly disregard previous events. If a nation is losing a war and is suddenly winning massively, that's disregarding previous events.
3) Claim before doing a turn, and respect the order. In the interest of time, anyone who claims has 48 hours to do their turn, or else the turn will go to the next person on the list.

Other than that, feel free do do just about anything. Balkanization, alliances, treaties, outside forces coming in, magic, whatever.

Mmmh. Claim!

Screw it. I claim a spot.

Turn 1: Everything changed when the People's Democratic Republic of Red Attacked




Events

1. The People's Democratic Republic of Red attacked the Kingdoms of Green! Their swift attack and powerful military strength left no chance to the peaceful Kingdoms of Green.

2. Following their successful conquest of the Kingdoms, the The People's Democratic Republic of Red invaded the two other nations. To consolidate their frontiers and replenish for a future assault, the The People's Democratic Republic of Red's Great Leader signed a Truce with the Blue Federal Republic and the Serene Yellow Empire.

3. The three great nations have been building up their forces, and the Last Kingdom of the Greens is threatened to disappear soon...


Nations List:
People's Democratic Republic of Red
The Last Kingdom of the Greens
Blue Federal Republic
Serene Yellow Empire

That is... a lot of expansion for one turn, but we can work with that. Those borders a little fuzzy, and could be cleaned up, but Iridium cand fix up the results of his turn.

[The_Two_Eternities]

Red literally doubled its size with zero foreshadowing on Turn 1. And why exactly would Blue and Yellow just ignore the existential threat of Red?

[a1s]

Spoiler: nothing whatsoever. (click to show/hide)

Turn 2: Wherein the reader find out the reason for Red's sudden aggression.




Events

1. A group of spies from Blue Federal Republic learn that a majority of PDR² leadership has been possessed by demons, when a gambling-addled batman witnesses a general's transformation.

2. Meanwhile The People's Democratic Republic of Red continues pushing their fronts.



Nations List:
People's Democratic Republic of Red
The Last Kingdom of the Greens
Blue Federal Republic
Serene Yellow Empire

[Glass]

Um, Iri already claimed turn 2.

[Doubloon-Seven]

Yeah, that turn is invalid according to rule #3.

[a1s]

Um, Iri already claimed turn 2.

I was under the impression you couldn't call dibs on future turns, but since DS says it's ok, let's wait.
And I claim dibs on turn 3.

[TankKit]

I feel like allowing for future turn dibs could slow down the game far too much, but okay. I claim turn 4.

[a1s]

I feel like allowing for future turn dibs could slow down the game far too much

Thank you.

[Screech9791]

claiming turn 5, if red isn't victorious by then

[TankKit]

Also, I am curious to see how this goes. I was thinking of creating a game like this myself and therefore am hopeful that it does well.

claiming turn 5, if red isn't victorious by then

There is no victory condition, only the progression of events and history.
