Revision as of 03:47, 19 December 2020
Welcome to the BlocGame Wiki
This is the official wiki for >BLOC - a multiplayer political simulation game on the web, also BLOC on mobile webapp and BLOC - Political Strategy Game on Android. BLOC is a Cold War simulator where you play your own third world country and its leader; although if you're here you probably know that! If you want to help most, edit information about gameplay which you know about, or the history of >BLOC and the recent wars!
In Realpolitik you can play one of the Cold War countries, a faction, or a corporation.
Are you confused by some of the language?: Vernacular.
Currently there are not many rules besides these:
- Articles that are not related to the gameplay and the metagame of bloc are not allowed.
- You are not allowed to change already functioning templates.
- NSFW material is not allowed.
Right now there are no rules about how a page belonging to a certain category should look like nor do I think there will be any. Any content is good and every page can be edited to look good by other editors; it is after all the information about the game provided here that is the most important.
If you have any complaints about these rules or want to add something, or have a problem, please let me know--Andyrewwer (talk).
