The Circle of GMT
We use a progressive wave in TVK called the elliptical wave. Each division of 5 provinces represents a time zone. When we look at the 8-track division we may think t/m heavy and the Streaming division as attacker heavy, but these divisions coalesce to the same degree as they do with the CD and Vinyl divisions.
Several of the characteristics of TVK were developed to address what ails many lower tier kingdoms. The elliptical wave was designed first to offer agreeable prime activity to players around the world. The elliptical wave also avoids the critical failure of the Oops! bug by elective dispersion. We operate 24/7. There is no wave time. Our actions begins at beginning of age and ends at the first eowcf. In each instance the GMT inertia will evolve into a natural form as the kingdom exits eowcf. Strategic posture exiting eowcf is based in resource distribution and threat level in accordance with collective Snatch News to assess the prevailing environment.
The division system was based in experience with full wave kingdoms of the highest order being dissected by kingdoms that used superior micro. The order of battle is immediate and opportunistic. Divisions are encouraged to take the initiative, using their unique blend of capabilities to achieve objectives.
The divisions are a representation of not just players from around the world but specifically players from fragmented kingdoms. Over the ages I've witnessed the retirement or dissolution of enough kingdoms that I feel we have a silent core of players left astray. They join new kingdoms and adopt new culture with no respect or regard for their heritage. My solution was to create a template that mimics the working ethnic Burroughs of the largest and most prominent metropolises in our world. This cultural retention is intended to enhance friendly competition within the kingdom and a way to learn alternative strategies and tactics.
The personality and racial spread is specifically The Virtual Kingdom cultural template. It is both an act of pageantry to celebrate the balance in Utopia, and a learning tool. The template allows us to see the entire spread of capability and offers the player to work with chemistry they've never experienced before. Like The Faery Circle was an all faery kingdom, TVK is maximum breadth of race and personality.
