| In the past, when Moderated Games had their own subforum, there was a greater variety to the types of games played. Notable variations included [[Mosaic Earth]], [[Feudal Lands]], NationStates (based on the [[http://www.nationstates.net/|NationStates]] site), A Little Trip games, Earth Imperialism, and Nation Games, which inspired a number of variants, including the Small Nations Game (SNG), the Continuous Nation Game (CNG), the Technological Nation Game (TNG), and the New Interactive Nation Game (NING). Nation Games, specifically CNGs, would go on to become the predominate game of played under the Moderated Games umbrella. | In the past, when Moderated Games had their own subforum, there was a greater variety to the types of games played.

| While superficially similar to [[shared_worlds:nation_games|Nation Games]], Moderated Games have a few key differences. A Moderated Game starts with voting between a few proposals. Proposals can range from a game set in a post-apocalyptic 1970s to a fresh take on the Victorian Era. After a game is selected, players make claims, which are either accepted, rejected, or modified by the GM. Unlike most Nation Games, these are custom nations, designed by the players themselves. After acceptance, the players create “Almanacs,” providing information about their nation that includes such details as population, internal issues, and military numbers. The game proper starts a few days later. | While superficially similar to [[shared_worlds:nation_games|Nation Games]], Moderated Games have a few key differences.

| Another major difference between Nation Games and Moderated Games is that there are no set turns. Instead, a day in real time is generally held to equal a year or six months in-game. This means Moderated Games progress faster than Nation Games. Historically, they have also lasted longer than Nation Games, though there have been some exceptions. They also tend to put more emphasis on worldbuilding, with players encouraged to write short stories or small “fluff” pieces set in their nation. | Another major difference between Nation Games and Moderated Games is that there are no set turns.

| | For much of AH.com’s history, Moderated Games had their own subforum separate from Nation Games, Map Games, and more traditional RPGs. However, in October 2016 Ian combined all subforums in the former Sandbox into a new forum called Shared Worlds. From then on, Moderated Games would be distinguished from other games by a yellow-orange prefix tab. |
