I found a potential mistake in my stats while trying to decide what my orders were going to be. I think the stats I'm being given at the start of this RP are actually the stats from the first update (that never happened) in Stein's version. I know (or think I do) because some of the stats are reflective of some of the orders I sent in that RP. For example, one of my orders for it was to reduce the number of conscripts from 200,000 to 150,000. In this new RP, I'm starting with 150,000 conscripts instead of 200,000 like I did in the last.

Another thing is my income/debt. I remember sending an order in the last RP to try to stop the income decline. And I guess it worked, 'cause in this RP, my debt is significantly less. In the last RP, it was 34mil. In this one, it's 24mil.

This suggests, to me, that you got my starting stats mixed up with my Turn #1 stats from the last RP (that were never posted because the written part of the update was never finished).

You can compare Austria's stats in Stein's thread with the ones in this one to see for yourself.

I realize this works against me, but I figured it'd be douchey to keep quiet. It also kinda messes me up because the orders I planned to send are pretty much the same orders I used in the last RP. With these new stats, some of those orders are unnecessary (like lowering conscript numbers). So I'm currently on-hold as to what to make my orders. Hopefully the time doesn't tick away.

EDIT: If it's decided I'll just get the old stats and I'm not around (I'm still sick), then please just use the same orders from the last RP.

South Africa still has an uber low resource level, too.

I hate to do this but I'm going to give up Germany. I just don't know enough about the country at the time period and don't have the time to do the research to where I'd be comfortable running the country.

I'll take it. Sorta my speciality. Byrd, lead B.W.A to greatness!

The next person who sends more orders than his/her tier allows gets a -2 to their orders. We went over this.

Pepperm1nts, the stats file was edited for the 1901 update. Didn't realise it. Thanks for the heads up, +1 to all orders

I might have noticed, but I don't think Sweden was in the other WiR's stats. No frame of reference.

Yeah, that's what I figured happened (but worded it weird). And awesome, thanks.

EDIT: Also, I sent fresh orders to MO, even if they're similar to the ones I sent last time.

I'm guessing the confusion was just with Pepper right? My stats are the same as they were in Stein's version.

It was with multiple nations, but I can assure you that it will be of no consequence.

I apologies in advance if my orders were wrong. I was a little confused.

“Tier IV gets an NF, a normal order, and two war orders.”

So as Mexico I get a NF, a normal and two war orders. But in the example Belgium, also a Tier IV, get these orders,

“Order One (nf): Increase the level of factories.
Order Two: Perform naval exercises off the coast.
Order Three: Build a railway from Ghent to Antwerp.
Order Four: Spread Belgian influence in the Congo further east.”

Does order two and four count as war orders? In any case if I am wrong, tell me and I will resend them.

I see now, but It's an example. A heavily simplified example. Intended to show what you can do with your orders. The rules prevail in case of conflict. You can use your regular orders on anything, national foci on anything not a military move, and war orders for military movements.

No.

Then who is?

Apologies. Would you like me to send a revised orders list?

Edit: Nevermind, it was explained to me by Mag.

Pirate, isn't she barren?

Yes.
