You are not red enough yet, America.
Anyway, I think a Cold War setting is a great idea. If America is coming, then that helps both sides of the confrontation. With that being said--does anyone have any idea or preference in which stage of the Cold War we'd be dealing with?
Like for example 1947, which was the beginning of said tension--to say 1970 after the Cuban Missile Crisis and Sino-Soviet Relations beginning to split apart; or closer to 1991 considering the fall of the Iron Curtain and USSR?
If you decide not to come, Russia, (or if there's another topic anyone wants to bring up?) perhaps it would be wisest to pick a later date?
[/font][/quote] Sadly, I can't come to this one. I need to kick Germany's ass in Stalingrad start a thread with Germany soon, and I am an epic slow writer when I am in so many threads. So, you can feel free to pick a later date. ^^ China can be communist enough for both of us.

Double communism rainbow all the way.
Yup, I have no problems with that. There will be so much communism in that room, no one will know what to do.

Okay, so to offer help with the plotting, here are the people who mentioned wanting a part in it:
China Belarus Finland - Probably both, and "other" for sure Sweden - Both threads North Korea Seychelles - Other America - Both threads England - Both threads Ireland Switzerland Poland
With so many people, I suggest actually splitting the meeting into two threads. That way, you don't have to wait as long to reply, or have a crapload of stuff to fit into a reply. Of course whether or not you wanted to do this is completely up to you guys. If you like the thought of just having one big thread, that is fine too. ~

Well, seeing that there is a lot of people, I think I'm going to sit this out because my involvement isn't that great and could potentially lead me to repeating myself a lot in the posts. However, I can help do the set up or help do the research or something if you guy still need me!

ghgjkl thought I'd posted here xD; /would totally want in :c
Cold war would be really cool to be honest, though I'm not sure it would need a specific time or event within that to work with. To be fair that type of thread would would be better to just wing?
That or we could do one for the end of ww1/ww2, the Cold war would be great for a FEW people, but half the ones mentioned for joining... have no relation at ALL.
Personally I'd probably look into doing both? As in, have a Cold war based one, and then a general one? It's just that I don't see a Cold War one working too well for all parties. As Spain said, it'd be dull for everyone bar for America, Myself, China, and N.K. Others may have small roles, but they'd simply get overshadowed to the point they'd end up like Canada.
I mean, what does everyone think about this? Because I know I'd love to do a Cold War thread, so if people agree with this then if the other three I mentioned throw their input at me we could totally work that if you were cool with 2 meetings going? Or if you just wanted to do one, whatever~

This was actually what I was thinking too, England. You're one hundred percent right, not everyone does have as much of a Cold War background, and it might not be so fun for them.
I am pretty sure that major armed conflicts such as the World Wars had an effect on everyone listed... so maybe do one meeting thread Cold War related and the other one World War related? Or perhaps they all share some other major event in common?
Okay, digging this idea up from the old World Meeting idea that Spain brought forth....
For those without as many war-related connections, there is always that option too. Thank you for bringing it up all those months ago, Spain. XD

Seychelles didn't have a huge part in the world wars, but she was affected enough that I would probably be able to contribute to that more than something during the Cold War. During WWI, her economy crashed and burned, and she got really angry at England. During WWII, she sent soldiers to fight for the allies, her first political party formed, and she became an independent nation shortly after the war ended.
I really like the cultural idea. I think something like that would work better for me since Sey didn't play a huge part in any major wars.

I'd love to enter, but as Sweden was non-aligned during the Cold War (despite the fact that Sweden, you know, hated Russia, gave the U.S. all manner of information, and accepted U.S. military gifts. Yeah, totally non-aligned)[/color], I don't see much for him to do at a capitalizt v. commie conference. I mean, Cold War meeting.
Of course, maybe Sweden's close relationship with the U.S., while professing to be non-aligned, may or may not be one of the issues Russia and Warsaw Pact states might bring to the table. *shrugs* I guess it depends exactly when the meeting takes place.
In any case, I'd love to see that other parallel World Conference idea as well.

That's a great idea, perhaps we should split everyone into two sections or more--like you said, Russia? Then we can sort out who wants to be (or should be) in the Cold War-era one, and then anyone else who wants to take on the general one. Either way, I don't mind, since we have a lot of people asking to be in on the action.
I'm assuming I will be mostly needed in the Cold War era, but if anything arises I can multitask.
As for Spain's idea, I wouldn't mind that coming into play either. In the end, I suppose it just matters how much the said country has impacted others during the Cold/World War(s). I think as long as there are more then two in one idea-induced thread, we should be alright?

Like pretty much everyone else has said, I'm for a seperate RP that doesn't center around the Cold War. Though Finland was a Nazi and fought against Russia, his battles really had nothing to do with capitalism or communism and so he claimed neutrality. Finland joined NATO in the '80s and had his worst depression to date in the '90s, but other than that, the Cold War era was rather uneventful.

Okay, so everyone agreed that there should be two different threads then, correct? Now all you need to do to get started is have everyone reply to this and say which thread they want to be in and go from there. Then you can figure out thread order, and probably fill in whatever other details you need after that. *Is totally pushing this idea along because she wants to thread-stalk.*
So, people listed as wanting to be in the thread, please reply to this and say which thread you want to be in, the Cold War meeting thread, or the more general cultural exchange thread. (I believe that was the other one that people were wanting to be in, yes?)

Both, the Cold War thread, and the other one. ;D
However, I haven't decided whether Sweden will be anything more an an interested observer in the Cold War meeting.

I'll do both more than likely, though Cold War is a cert XD

Depending on the timeline of the Cold War one, I could do both. Later in the Cold War would work better for me, though I might join either way.
Definitely the 'other' option.
