Shared Worlds : Moderated Games
REMAIN PATIENT. THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON.
The Moderated Games Forum mostly consists of role-playing nations games where you, in theory, get to control your own nation, while negotiating and warring with those of other players. Notable Moderated Games include Mosaic Earth and Feudal Lands, NationStates, based on the NationStates site, which went nowhere, and Nation Games, which inspired a number of variants, including the Small Nations Game (SNG), the Continuous Nation Game (CNG) and the Technological Nation Game (TNG). The subforums hold the 2nd and 3rd A Little Trip games, currently dead, where your family and you are transported through space and time to start living as pioneers, and Earth Imperialism, also dead. The XXth Century project was also based in the Shared Worlds section (now in Timelines and Scenarios as well as the Collaborative Projects subforum), as many members have contributed to this joint timeline. Also, a new phenomenon is Nation Games, based on the first game, New Interactive Nations Game (NING for short). Started by 09camaro, it features an interestuing feature where one starts with his slate clean after an apocalyptic event, and gets to expand with other players. NING, Nations Game: After Impact, and Nations Game: After the Plague are all examples.
Nowadays, Moderated Games are similar to Nation Games. Generally, in a Moderated Game, a time period is voted upon, a god mod chosen, and then the players submit claims for nations, which the mods choose to acccept or deny. The game begins a few days later. What makes Moderated Games different from Nation Games is the fact that Moderated Games usually last a lot longer, have more “fluff”, and have no turn system, so each day generally represents a period of time, and no events are given for the change in time.

Summaries of Moderated Games
CNG: Broken Mirror The game began in 1820, in a world where there were a few geological changes, including the eastern US divided between a few islands, an African passage, and a Sri Lankan archipelago. Europe was relatively like OTL, though Paganism was quite widespread. Towards the beginning of the game, a radical Turkish republic managed to puppetize Egypt, and beat the Serbians under King Milos. TheShahs nation, Arza, a mess of feuding houses in Sri Lanka. Troyer IV took over that nation, posting many posts on “Game of Houses”. Early on, England went Fuel Lordist, so France, Scotland-Holland, and Spain went to the Conference of Reichenbach Falls, where they decided to invade England. The English held them back, though Ireland was made independent, though, ironically, it moved closer to the English, even becoming Fuel Lordist. Brazil, meanwhile, was taken over by radical communist-like people, and continued its wars against Wales that began when an aristocrat republic ruled the place. Throughout the 1800s, Arza became somewhat Socialist, more of the world went Fuel Lordist, and, in the last quarter-century, Scotland-Holland and France were defeated by Fuel Lordist Germany, England, and Ireland. Scotland then became under the control of the Popular Party, increasing its birthrate, and doubling the population in 20 years, though it was eventually defeated after they tried to acquire chemical weapons. It then was subsumed into the Brythonic Federation, which was basically a united britain. Arza continued expanding, spanning the entire Indian Ocean, even defeating Han China. France was also Papo-Fascist for a while in there. In the 1920s, Brazil, actually, the Federation of South America, collapsed, and the Maroon Republics- a former Scottish slave republic, the RSA- a Welsh Argentina, and Tir St. Iago- a Monarchist Welsh Chile. In the 1940s, another war broke out, where Germany and Russia smashed France, Romenia, Saxony, and Scandinavia, Romenia being an ERE-successor Italy. The RSA, under the Integralist Party, took over Saxon Patagonia, but was forced to withdraw after the Federation and Mexico threatened to invade.
