Klintanistan Starting territories.

Thanks to the Brave 13 (players) and STOOPID 1 (me) we are about ready to start. You should have had 2 emails from me, One concerning how to fill out turn sheets and one with starting territories,But if you are playing and have not you need to contact me as soon as possible.

I can be contacted at Clintburnettagain(@)Hotmail(.)co(.)uk
Just take the brackets out and it should get to me.

I will email back to make sure I have a link to you.

So each player starts with 5 territories. At the game start they are NOT secret. You all have lived in Klintastan for a while and all know the locations of certain things.

The starting territories are:

  1. Grain, Grain, Livestock, Livestock, Game hunting.                 Roy Williamson
  2. Grain, Livestock, livestock, Coal, Timber.                                                Bryan (Vampi) Scottlandia
  3. Friuit, Grain Grain Livestock, livestock                                                     Phillion
  4. Fruit, Livestock, livestock, livestock, Livestock.                                     Millsy Democratic Republic of Millsystan
  5. Grain, Grain, Livestock, Livestock. Livestock.                                         Ray The badger
  6. Fruit, Fruit Grain. Livestock Livestock.                                                     Andy Nash Goboland
  7. Fruit, Grain, Grain, Livestock, Coal.                                                          Miles Ubergeek "Great Republic of 'Murica-Stan" or GRM for short.
  8. Fruit, Grain, Livestock, livestock, Game Hunting.                                  Fran (angry Lurker) Franonia

  13. Fruit, Grain, livestock, livestock. Coal.                                                     Dave Doc The Peoples Undemocractic Republic of Docistan
I have included any names I know after the player. And no there is not a competition to make me type the longest name! Although you might wonder with Millsy and Dave Doc. (I bet I am not the only person that worries about them both!)
Names may change and typefaces are because I cut and paste them from different sources.
It may look like some starts are better than others. You are free to think that and act accordingly perhaps by cheering or booing them in the comments. But they were all generated randomly and if someone seems to have an advantage in something I feel sure one or more players WILL attack them in some way.
As always any questions I will try to awnser as best I can without breaking any confidences. SO DO NOT ask what has player x done this turn! But I know you will not do such a thing  anyway.
First turns to be in by MIDNIGHT GMT Friday NEXT week!
 
best of luck guys
Cheers Clint

    1. Thank you Mr Nash. It is all a bit of an experiment and I may fall flat on my face. But nothing ventured etc etc.

      My main hope is that it provides us all with some entertainment. And a bit of a laugh.

  2. All emails received and understood.
    I've made a brief, introductory blog post for my Imagi-Nation, here:

    http://nevermindthejankers.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/clints-blog-game-my-little-imagi-nation.html

    It's name is Centralandesh

    I did make a map, but purely for to aid me in roleplaying the nation in my head when I come to think up dastardly schemes (or not!)

    1. Thanks Roy. I have had a very quick look at the map. And it is delightful that people are taking the game seriously. A little concerned about the railway. (not greatly though. ) But I do not want anyone slse to add things like that. We will say it was a proposed railway that the Great Klint proposed. That way no one will add things like airports, harbours, missile silos, abandoned weapon caches from the war of apocalypse. Not that I think that every one will but I have to be careful. But no worries so far.

    2. The railroad on the map is just a terrain feature. I've stated

      "It once was connected to a rail network of a single track, but now Klintanistan is no more, the Railway Company has fled and the track has been vandalised and the parts taken for firewood and scrap."Travel being "is either by horse and cart or to walk there".

      Nothing stopping me from, attempting, to rebuild the railroad in the future, and importing an engine from a first world economy, is there?

      Delete
    3. Thanks Roy nothing at all wrong with that plan at all. All you need is sufficient money and sufficient time. So It could happen.

  3. It all looks good to me, Clint. I'm very happy with my choice of territories.

    I wish my country to be known as Scottlandia (note the double T as my surname is Scott).

    I'll be in touch with you soon with my first orders.

    1. Thank you Bryan. The Name is now added. You did mention it previously but I forgot! (I can be like that). So Sorry for that. All the turns will be put into a separate folder and checked on the day of processing. Just so I do not plan to far ahead.

    1. Thanks generalissimo Millsy. It may be cattle, or sheep, goats camels or any other thing you want. But if you say Cattle you have a few steers!

      Try not to feel Typecast! (not intended by me!)

    2. Let's face it... It's sheep...

    3. That's a load of bull Dave and you know it!

  6. Great, I appear to be Worcestershire. Nice, love cider. Anyway there has been a recent poll and my countries new name was going to be Analgesia,although now I've written it down it contains anal and not wanting to be the butt of too many jokes the name will be Malusia (the land of apples)

    5. Guys it's happened! Gobboland is up and running with its many vineyards and ostrich farms....

      I like to think of Gobboland providing the more exotic of goods and services....

      Delete
    6. I think Gobboland should/would be a meritocracy however it is currently being run by Warboss Nash whose merits include Champion nose-picker 1926 and longest flatus of 1926 and 27.....

      Delete
    7. Thanks Andy glad to have you connected.

      As for Nose picking we will just have to think of you as "King of the crusty Dragons!"

  8. Aaah good, fruit and grain... Wine and whiskey!

    1. Thank you Dave. You can try to develop those industries if you choose. But at present it is just fruit and grain. All territories can be developed IF you can think of it. And developed industries will earn more money (Usually.

  9. Good luck to all that took the kings shilling....I look forward to seeing this game develop!

  10. I received both e-mails as well.

    Also, the country should be named:

    Union of Banana Import-Export Republics, which is a conglomerate of freedom (and banana) loving people, where banana class finally runs their country after an October 1917 revoution, known as Yellow October.

    It's official acronym is UBIER and when posed as a question, the answer is Yes.

    The history of union of republics is bright, for we have it all planned. The country is, was and will be ruled by a motto uttered by a great Bananaman - "Theirs we do want, ours we don’t give.". A slogan so powerful some random country adopted it slightly changed half a century later!

    We, of course, are not the ones to threaten other republics, but Yellow Army is ready to spread the admiration for all things bananas to neighbouring states.

    1. Thank you Mathyoo. The country has a name "Klintanistan" but each province has decided on a separate name. But when you Take control you can (and no doubt will rename the whole lot.

      Delete
    2. Ah, of course - I imagined it as a country dissolved into several countries.

      I would still wish to keep the name, as every sub region is a republic (yay! Freeedom!) :D

      Delete
    3. We are both right here. It will become whatever we decide it to become. Your view on this is as and possibly more important than mine.

  11. Sounds ace. Love the nations names.

    1. Thank you Simon. Let us hope it plays well. And some of the names are just Brill.

  12. Alas, too late for the party (read "too ill" too). I'm sure you'll have fun, albeit in a masochistical way - Umpiring!
    I'll be following with interest.

    1. Thank you Joe. I hope the game works for all concerned. I know a couple of players are already enjoying it. (And Me!)

      Sorry to hear about you being Ill. I may try to sort a game out next year and send you a special invite.
