[War_ooc] That other stuff!

[John Penta]

Okay, I'm writing this as I finish up the North America timeline.

If it reads disjointedly, that's because I'm doing both at once.
---
Pretty arbitrarily, I'm setting the POD for 0000 (Midnight) US Eastern
Daylight Time on July 4. If news -hits the media- before that time, it
happened in WAR. If not, it didn't.

Naturally, events will occur which blur things, potentially which completely
make a timeline event or events impossible or irrelevant. I'll deal with
them as they happen.

Country-picking:

My preference is to gather everybody on AIM and do the picking there;
however, reality tells me that won't happen. At least, I won't get
everybody.

So here's how I'm going to do it, trying my hardest to be fair to everybody
in a group scattered across timezones.

Country-picking will open at 8 PM US EDT tomorrow night via an email message
to this list. You can submit your choices either by AIM (I'll start a chat
for the purpose) or email. You -must- submit 3. Not 1, not 2. A minimum of
3. (I recommend having 4 or 5, actually, in case for some reason everybody
dogpiles on the same 3 countries.)

At 10 PM (or thereabouts), I will post the initial set of who submitted for
what countries. These will be DRAFTS. If you didn't or can't submit then,
never fear. You can submit via email. I'll update day by day in the (US)
evening until I see 24 hours with nobody picking (or changing) countries. I
fully expect people to want to change countries, either to resolve conflicts
or because they suddenly get a better idea. That's why nothing gets set in
stone until I see stability.)

At that point, I will post a final list. This will list the 3-5 countries
picked and the country ultimately assigned. If it's not on the list, it will
have been assigned basically at my discretion, something I prefer to avoid
if I possibly can.

Once the final list is posted, I will begin accepting country writeups,
including timelines. Expect some level of negotiation/arguing/me getting
bright ideas; in short, expect to go through a few drafts.

When it comes to accepted country writeups, I'll decide what to do with em
then.
