Hello there fellow members. Boy, this has been a long time coming.
I have been wanting to give this group a new start for a long while now. But of course, time was not by my side, as I believe it wasn't for most of you. It's sad to see such an awesome group gather dust. Therefore I want to give it a big rebirth. This group can become something big, and I am going to put a lot of time and devotion into it. But that of course means I need some people who are willing to stick around.
None of you have left this group yet (of course not, look at the amount of work you put in your respective countries). This makes me wonder, would anyone be interested in seeing this group active again? Time has been an issue before, and I fully understand if you don't have enough for it to start managing your countries again. I just figured I'd ask to make sure.
Thanks for your time.

I was hoping people would return to this group! Count me in! Terel'Liren stands ready to RP once again!
Wow, only a few hours after I made this post I've three replies already! That's great news, and thank you guys for sticking around! 
I've made a few small changes to the group so far. Nothing too big, just something to give the group a bit more flair. Nothing too big. Just some rules and a bit more information explaining what this group is for. Soon I'll be done writing quick summaries of existing kingdoms so people can read what members of the group have already made.
Now there's two things that obviously are needed to add to the group. More members who are willing to add in their own places on the map and try to stay active as much as possible, oh, and now what I mention it, a map would indeed be nice. Not a world map yet, but one for each country which in the near future can be stuck together into a full map! Though that is not something urgent, just a nice addition (to which Terel already beat me to the punch). Finding members is at the top of my priority list.
Do you handsome folks have any more suggestions as to what could be added/done differently? Perhaps we could use a name for this world we live in? I'd love to hear the opinions of you veterans!

I'd guess every race/kingdom would have its own name for the world, I guess the 'common name' for the world would depend on where you are and which race or nation is more dominant overall, at least in terms of culture or numbers.
I mean, I generally just have my Terelains use their own name for the world regardless of what other races in a setting call it. For Terelains the world is Aerin, which means Jewel though occasionally they call it Obeth Aerin 'Great Jewel'. The name Jalaeda is often interchangeable, but that refers to the continent itself rather than the world as a whole.
It'd be a nice bit of flavour if each race had their own name for the continent or world, but the most popular one is the one that's commonly used.

I like that idea, actually. I agree, it would add more flavor and personality to a race if they had their own word for the world. Each depending on their own philosophy. As for the common name, it ought to be something neutral that accounts for everything, something like, I dunno, The Expanse, or something of the like. That being the neutral name the races use to name the world if they don't understand each other's name for the world.
Lovely suggestion there! I like it!

I might actually want to work on not so much a Kingdom of my own, but an independent city state with douchey politics and where a villain hangs out.
You are very much allowed to build your paradise of dickheads, Ben! I welcome it! Sounds like a fun place to be when you're up to no good. I don't even think we have a city/kingdom that is known for their political schemes, so this would be a nice addition.
As for the other already existing countries, I've created a small introductionary text for the more detailled ones. If I have been misinterpreting them, feel free to let me know so I can adjust them!

This is something I had wished to enjoy, but somehow found myself stuck during one of the scenes. I had hoped to reply to it, but I could never think of the correct approach, and shortly forgot about doing so. But! I am still interested in operating may kingdom idea, however. Even if I remain the sole founder, now. A map would be nice start, perhaps the wrapping up of scenes, as well.
I would suggest fetching ideas from established games, like Pathfinder (Dungeons and Dragons), if someone is at a lost as to what their kingdom could build, and the appropriate timing of said building. This is a link to what I have yet to look through, but I do know that it offers some very interesting buildings.

Ben, we've already got that! but it's not worked out perfectly yet, so I'll give you free reigns on its development

Miss! I've made Rynh moderator as well. He pm'd me for the revival and I agreed to work together on getting it back on track
if you want to talk on skype we can probably do a skypecall with the three of us and sort things out? if Rynh himself is interested in that?
Miss, that link is really helpful! I'll make sure to make a section on its own for people who needs inspiration and/or information on building their own kingdoms!
I also agree that wrapping up scenes is needed. I know there's a couple of good ones I regretted going quiet on. I'll make sure they receive a post. If nothing happens on it, so be it. Hopefully they'll get going again.
As for the skype group, I'd be all up for it. I'm pretty sure I don't know all the aspects of managing a group, let alone one with the potential to become large! I could use help for sure. Though skype isn't necessary. If there's another platform any of you would rather use that's a-okay with me!

I will create the last few posts to scenes that I left un-closed, certainly. And you are very welcome, Rynh! I do have access to skype, but my laptop does not feature a built-in camera, nor have I purchased one. I can be contacted through skype, and my skype-name is Ladytannis.
Being a moderator is a very interesting position, and everyone has equal potential, I would say.
