Hey everyone, i said i'd end ZWRP soon, but never reaally discussed with anyone (other than GalmTwoPixy at random) what i wanted to do after, so this post will explain what comes next, while possibly marking the official end of ZWRP with a stalemate.

Now, if you care, read what sections are important to you, but... id like if you read them all, i put so much work into writing.

1: A CUSTOM EARTH, AND EXTENDING OFF ZWRP'S END

I'm starting off strong here. there will be a large custom earth map, with the SP map being a small part of it. to tie perfectly into ZWRP's hardcoded lore, each country in ZWRP is effectively a small extension of a much larger whole (explaining the funding countries like Martoria, Wisteria, and Mecreat have).

The Archipelago will be a battle of history in the newer RP, and one country will have to take over the whole of it (for simplicity).

It will start several years after the end of ZWRP, giving much more time than was previously given to develop country specific tech, which i will discuss later. you will retain your military if you move to the newer RP of course.

2: MUCH MORE IN DEPTH LORE

Ya heard it right @B1 and @ChunkyCheese... well basically everyone, i will actually care for the lore this time. ZWRP was meant to be simple. countries, aircraft, and flags were the basics, but i am going to fully integrate all types of vehicles this time, and make much more categories.

For example: a capital city, state, or territory of a country, names of the leaders of a country, important locations, and more.

You can really go all out with the lore this time, do not let my previous laziness restrict your creativity.

3: MULTIPLE RP LEADERS

What i mean by this is that i wont run the RP alone. ZWRP showed me that i am not the best at this, so i need someone who has experience, maturity, and authority to help me run this RP.

4: LIMITED FORUM POSTS

I already tried to enforce this before and it didnt work out well, so i will state this clearly: ZWRP posts flooded the forums multiple times, limit forum posts to 2 per person per day. do not make one to ask a question to someone unless it is generalized, otherwise ask me or another overseer.

Anyway...

6: STOPPING A REPEAT OF ZWRP

ZWRP... it has issues. people tried to play god, people threw fits upon losing, and it was utter chaos, so i plan to be stricter with my rules, and implement a strike system.

If you break the rules 3 times, you will be exempt from the RP for a week or so. no one can mess with your country, not you either, and the RP will advance without you until you are allowed to return.

Break rules 3 times after coming back, and you will be permanently exempt from the RP. i will set your country as a placeholder for someone to claim, and you can take home your country and get out of my RP.

I will have full rules with future proofing set up upon the full release of the RP.

Now that that's out of the way, lets move on to my favorite idea of this new RP...

6: ANOMALIES AND COUNTER-ANOMALY FORCES

To prosper in this RP, you must have a few things. 1: a good military with good numbers, 2: good strategies, 3: good relations (unless you really know what you're doing), and 4: counter anomaly forces.

Anomalies are aircraft, ground craft, or naval craft that possess otherworldly characteristics, notably severely increased durability, strength, and mobility compared to traditional craft, but possess a certain weak point that will tear the craft asunder.

Anomalies are only able to be implemented per me accepting an application, AKA me testing your anomaly against some of my aircraft to see if it is defeatable. they are meant to be hard, but not invincible.

Anomalies can tear apart a country with swiftness if not dealt with by counter-anomaly fighters. These are specified fighters built with extreme degrees of maneuverability in mind, combining excellent aerodynamics to make it fast as well. some counter-anomaly craft can be boats, possessing high power cannons (commonly rail powered), or medium tanks with specialized ammunition. anomalies are weak to electricity, so keep that in mind.

I came up with some of this on a whim, so bear with me here. mostly everything here is subject to change.
